In the wake of a potential major shift within the Church, we look to a forgotten chapel in the American Southwest— home to a staircase that should not exist. Built by an unknown man with simple tools, then vanished without a trace. No nails. No screws. No explanation. Its design defies physics. Its materials don’t match anything native to the region. And the number of steps? Strangely symbolic. For over a century, it’s confounded experts and inspired whispers of something... otherworldly. Some call it a miracle. Others dare not say.

Partial Transcript:
Upon the death of Pope Francis, we take a look at one of the most intriguing Catholic institutions in all of these United States. The Loretto Chapel located in Santa Fe, New Mexico no longer serves as
an active parish but has found a resurgence and has been in the news the past few years because of a rather confounding mystery.
Formerly known as Our Lady of the Light, the Loretto Chapel was left unfinished and in the hands of a group of sisters in the late 1800's. The loft, some 22ft. above remained inaccessible after construction
was completed due to the death of the architect. He left the chapel without a staircase.
After consulting several experts and being only left with a ladder as the solution, due to the narrow church, the Sisters of Loretto began praying to St. Joseph in what is known as a "novena". Nine days straight.
On the ninth day of prayer, an old man with a mule and some tools offered to build a staircase under one condition: he had to work alone. After a few months the mysterious carpenter completed the project.
As fast as he'd arrived, the carpenter disappeared and was never to be found again, even after the sisters put out ads looking for him.
The staircase was constructed as a double helix, with two 360 degree turns but has no central columns or support beams. The weight of the staircase is supported entirely at the base and was made without the use of screws, nails, or glue. The wood that was used was not native to the area and was a completely different type of pine than what is known to exist on earth. The staircase was built without electricity, no modern tools, and no help. And it still confounds design experts to this day. It's believed that the double helix structure is what gives the staircase its' inner strength.
Interestingly, the staircase has 33 steps... same as the age that Christ was crucified on the cross. The Sisters of Loretto believe that the staircase was designed by the carpenter and adopted father of
Christ, St. Joseph. And who are we to disagree?
