    Miracle Number 1 ?
    https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/bab...ous-recovery-kiss-pope-francis-204550103.html
    A baby with a brain tumor underwent a miraculous
    recovery after a kiss from Pope Francis

    When Pope Francis kissed baby Gianna Masciantonio in 2015, some saw it as an encouraging sign. The 1-year-old had been diagnosed with a brain tumor, Philadelphia’s Fox 29 News reported at the time. Doctors had not expected that she would make it to her first birthday, but she overcame the odds — and days after her birthday, Pope Francis kissed her head.


    CBS Philadelphia reported that Gianna has histiocytosis, a rare condition that made it impossible for her to have surgery to remove the tumor. The blood disorder caused lesions on her brain stem, the outlet explained. Gianna was treated with chemotherapy, and CBS Philadelphia reports that now, Gianna is in good health and will begin preschool this year.

    “From what I thought at age 4 months when I operated on her, if you would have told me she’d be running around getting ready to start preschool, I would have told you you’d be crazy. It just wouldn’t happen,” Dr. Phillip Storm, the hospital’s chief of pediatric neurosurgery, told CBS Philadelphia.


    2 more and he is eligible for sainthood, yes?
    Would he become St. Francis of Argentina?
    Assisi is taken by a Francis already.

    I am not a Catholic nor do I play one on TV.

    He literally needs a "body guard"
    to deter relic seekers. :rolleyes:

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    The child was getting proper medical care so how is this a miracle save for the wonderful advances in medicine and the exceptional skill of her medical providers at all levels its just as likely they were the ones responsible not the kiss from a man who eats, craps and pees like everyone else on the planet.

    From above

    YOU do understand what a First Degree Relic is, don't you?

    Idea, a Body Guard to protect his body!​

    I have an authenticated First Degree Relic of California Father Serra.
    Suitable to pray to. Works best with problems involving legs or being lame. :pray:

    The miracle here was that the Pope kissed a baby and resisted the temptation to slip it some tongue.

    There are hundreds of people who have been given up for dead - and yet have recovered. They haven't been kissed by any Pope. Some bodies can do miracles on their own. There are millions of 'relics' throughout the world that have never seen/been a holy man. Never been near a church. In the early days and throughout the middle ages many churches 'found' bones and relics of 'saints' and displayed them for the gullible to come and worship and, of course, donate to the church. A relic is nothing. The Catholic Church gained wealth this way - despite the fact that the Bible says there is only one mediator between god and man. Praying through anyone else is useless. Come to that as an agnostic I don't believe prayer achieves anything except to the mind of the believer.

    Miracles have happened all of the time, throughout history. They are miracles because they do not follow the normal outcome, which by sheer volume became predictable.

    I dunno how miracles happen, I just am aware that they do. I think until we actually understand what consciousness is, and how consciousness can create effects like the Placebo Effect, we will just continue to be amazed...some of us, those that don't already claim to "know all things".

    Life is full of mysteries. Even if some will refuse to admit it. ha ha ha
