[Boogieman]

“Do you think miracles are restricted to bishops and popes?”

No, but if they claim to be successors to the apostles, having that office passed down to them through an unbroken chain of succession, then, at the very least, they should be able to demonstrate the miraculous powers possessed by apostles.

If they can’t pass that low hurdle, then I have no reason to even waste my time examining other so-called miracles claimed by the Catholic church, because they have already impeached their own testimony.

[Eucharista]

"No, but if they claim to be successors to the apostles,..."

Miracles and signs are for the benefit if the unbelievers, not the believers and are worked through, not by the saints. We cannot look at the instruments God uses as a disclaimer on His omnipotence.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Well, nobody has a right to "order" miracles. They are gratuitous acts of God, not produced on demand, and by no means, as you seem to suppose, a clerical monopoly. And you're saying that if they aren't done by bishops, they're not worth your investigation? Really?

This is the first time I've ever heard of the Boogieman Miracle Criteria. An innovative interpretation, to say the least.

St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us.
