So the Almighty God, who can do any-fucking-thing he wants, who is the fountain of love, who could do limitless things to help the children he created, chooses to....checks notes....keep a dead nun from decomposing. 

Really, really impressive god you Christians have working on your behalf.

I'm no forensics expert, but I don't think an embalmed body deteriorates much in 4 years.

As mentioned, no embalming, and generally un-embalmed bodies deteriorate pretty fast, especially in the Texas heat unless you bury them deep.

We grew up going to church every Sunday having to stare at a crucified man over the altar, then once a year we had to partake in the torture porn that is stations of the cross.

Incorruptibility is when a person dies and the body doesn’t decompose.  Its rare but it happens sometimes.

What an awe-inspiring miracle! This nun has proven that it’s possible to die and then, through the awesome power of Christ, remain dead.

I'm so inspired I'm going to rape the altar boy.

It wasn't embalmed....

Why, because the person in charge of the body say so? Have they let anyone test the body to see?  A more likely explanation is that the funeral home embalmed her even thought they will told not to in 2019.

You left out the eating of actual Christ flesh and drinking his blood every week through the miracle of transubstantiation.

The only thing weirder than eating and drinking the body and blood of Christ is pretending to eat and drink the body and blood of Christ.

One of my coworkers took Friday off to go touch the dead nun.

Touching the dead nun just sounds like a euphemism for masturbating.

One of my most embarrassing childhood moments was when my dad walked in on me strokin the crusty nun.

If you've ever explored a Roman Catholic basilica or cathedral in Europe, it is possible you may have encountered the “incorrupt" body of a saint on display. Throughout the church's long history, the bodies of many saints have been disinterred, often to move them to new, more prestigious burial sites. Occasionally, it has been found that a body apparently did not succumb to the usual forces of putrefaction, and such a seemingly divinely preserved corpse is deemed "incorruptible." The title is reserved for bodies that one would expect to rot naturally—in other words, embalmed corpses and bog bodies need not apply. Interestingly, though, incorruptibility does not imply that the body cannot subsequently rot. Many holy corpses that were initially found preserved are now skeletons or are in some state of decomposition. Although such a discovery was traditionally considered a miracle (especially if the body also had a floral "odor of sanctity"), plausible scientific explanations and the possibility of lost embalming records have led the church to revise its doctrine on the matter, and incorruptibility alone is no longer treated as miraculous.

Truly miraculous or not, the incorrupt bodies of saints are considered holy relics and are treated with great esteem in both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Some are administered acid baths or other treatments to help sustain their incorruptibility. Many are encased in wax effigies or are given wax masks that represent their condition upon discovery. Others are reburied, and a metal, stone, or wax sculpture of the corpse is arrayed above or near the actual body. Some are displayed directly in glass caskets, usually with a thin wax layer over the skin. A number of incorrupt body parts, such as the tongue and jaw of St. Anthony of Padua or the heart of St. Vincent de Paul, are borne in special reliquaries. While their veneration is often associated with answered prayers and miracles, these relics also serve as visual reminders of the holy men and women that have lived and died in their faith and of the mortality that faces us all.

They should hook her up to some animatronics and have her perform gospel songs in Branson. Would sell out every night. VIP tickets allow you backstage to touch the nun after the show.

Or cut her in half, and connect the two parts with a chain.

And call her… nunchucks.
