Catholic Priest Wakes Up From Coma After 17 Months, Converts To Islam
Category: News About Pastors & Churches
Jakarta- A catholic priest from the island of Java in Indonesia who
has woken up from a 17 month long coma has converted himself to Islam
after the man claims Allah spoke to him and showed him “the beauty of
the heavens”.
The 87-year old priest from Spain has lived and preached on the
island for more then 43 years and is fluent in Javanese and various
dialects of the different ethnic groups of the island and is a well
known and respected figure amongst all religious groups of the area.
The man who has suffered a cardiac arrest while helping local
volunteers to fix the roof of his own church and fell an incredible two
stories high has managed to survive and come out of his coma, in brittle
shape, yet a changed man.
“I know nothing of Islam. Never once have I read the Quran but God spoke to me and asked me to follow him to the heavens and the Holy light shone through my entire being and behold the golden gates of heaven appeared before me and God told me his name and it was Allah” told the newly convert to a journalist of the Kalimantan Press.
The man who miraculously suffers no spinal injury should be able to
walk soon, admits the physician who took care of him at South Jakarta’s Metropolitan
Medical Centre. “This must be the strongest 80-year old I have ever
seen. His bones should be smashed to pieces” ponders Jim Won May, who
has practiced medecine for over twenty years.

His conversion to Islam took most of his church followers by
surprise, but interestingly enough, already half of his christian
followers have showed interest in converting to Islam. “If Allah is the
true God, I don’t want to be misled in the wrong direction on judgement
day. I trust Father Eduardo. We all believe in him” explains one of his
followers.
The priest who is still under medical attention has already ordered
the construction of a new mosque and his followers are already hard at
work to find the funds necessary for the task. “We owe it to Father
Eduardo for all he has done for us” comments one of the devotees of the
old catholic church, that is now for sale.
