Bilocation is said to be a physical, rather than spiritual, phenomenon, and a person experiencing it is supposedly able to interact with their surroundings as normal, including being able to experience sensations and to manipulate physical objects exactly as if they had arrived through natural means. [1] In most instances, bilocation is said to be involuntary and not to have been directed by the individual concerned in terms of time or space. [1]

Reported instances of bilocationism

Several Christian saints and monks are said to have exhibited bilocation. In one instance, in 1774, St. Alphonsus Liguori is said to have gone into a trance while preparing for Mass. When he came out of the trance he reported that he had visited the bedside of the dying Pope Clement XIV. His presence is then said to have been confirmed by those attending the Pope despite him being 4 days travel away, and not appearing to have left his original location. [1] Other Christian figures said to have experienced it include St. Anthony of Padua, St. Pio of Pietrelcrina, St. Severus of Milan, St. Ambrose of Milan and St. Martin de Porres, as well as Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria, Egypt.

When someone enjoys the spiritual manifestation of bilocation, at that particular moment, his human spirit is separated from his physical body, his spiritual presence manifesting itself in another location. While it may appear to the human mind as if there are two of the same person who are bilocating, in truth, there is only one person, but two separate presences of the same person. One presence is physical, the other being spiritual.

Bilocation (702 words)
That bilocation (multilocation) is physically impossible, that is, contrary to all the conditions of matter at present known to us, is the practically unanimous teaching of Catholic philosophers in accordance with universal experience and natural science.
As to the absolute or metaphysical impossibility, that is, whether bilocation involves an intrinsic contradiction, so that by no exertion even of Omnipotence could the same body be at once in wholly different places — to this question the foregoing distinctions are pertinent.
The instances of bilocation narrated in lives of the saints can be explained, they hold, by phantasmal replications or by aerial materializations.
