In his NCR interview, however, Milingo insisted that he had said no such thing, and that it was church authorities who insisted that he had been brainwashed.
“All my problems come from the lack of appreciation [by the authorities of the Catholic church] for the spiritual gifts I have,” he said.
“It was too much for them to believe that in the modern world, I can simply say ‘let this happen,’ and it happens,” he said.
Milingo offered several examples of his alleged spiritual prowess, including a recent phone call from a woman in Modena, Italy, who complained that 20 days after the birth of her child she could not produce mother’s milk. Milingo said he instructed her to draw a glass of water, which he blessed over the phone. He instructed the mother to drink it, and immediately afterwards she began to lactate.
“They can’t believe such things are possible,” he said, with respect to Vatican officials and bishops who were reluctant to have him in their dioceses.
