Immeculate heart of Mary offers healing for all physical conditions.

Would a priest really make such an obvious spelling mistake?
amazing what you can see on Gumtree

He may be from Morningside in Edinburgh and extremely posh.

It was an advertisement on Gumtree.
I'd not thought of Morningside. Could well be.

Regardless of the spelling hopefully Gumtree will soon take the same route as eBay did about a month ago (very low key mind you) and ban this sort of junk.

Tellingly, eBay did not issue the ban (at least publicly) due to any particular standpoint - they, like the charlatans are happy to make money out of it - but rather because of all the difficult to resolve complaints about the 'services' not working.

Or Kelvinside in Glesca.

It's not a spelling mistake. He just had something resting on the shift key when he typed the phone number. We've all done it.

A bit of delving proves interesting here, Sandy.

Here's the ad you referred to:

The same phone number is given here:
http://www.gaynewry.com/?p=349
and here:
http://www.clairvoyantgerrard.com/
(I assume that clairvoyant skills are required to view the actual content of that website!)

Interestingly, the guy's title changes from 'Father' to 'Doctor' here:

Interesting Buenchico. I like this line from the first link..

// Hundreds of successful healings over the last 30 years. //

They should put that over the entrance to the local hospital - big themselves up a bit with a catchy slogan.

[Buenchico]

Ludwig:
The Advertising Standards Authority would probably make the hospital balance up that statement by adding something about the number of people who'd died in the hospital over the past 30 years ;-)

[mibn2cweus]

Why do you suppose they're not offering healing for any mental conditions? :o/

[wildwood]

Oh, I feel so foolish. Is this about the bleeping out of the phone number? Reading the heading of the OP, I though they had the heart of the virgin Mary and somehow could action that to heal.

I have the word Emmeculate seared onto my brain now and will go around for most of the day saying it.

I saw an ad on Ebay a while back where they 'item' being auctioned was a telephone session with a person who would diagnose your furry friend's illnesses. They even offered to communicate with dead cats/dogs.

Emmekulit - is that the phonetic spelling?
