This is very biblical, actually. In Acts 19:11-12 we read, “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul. So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.” If God can work miracles of healing through pieces of cloth that had touched the hands of a holy apostle, why should He not work miracles through pieces of paper that had touched the hands of another holy man? Indeed we read also in Acts that people would be cured if Peter’s shadow passed over them. I don’t get it: what is so unbiblical about miracles? Or is it just “Roman” miracles?

That makes more sense than the Catholic position of believing in post-Biblical miracles but insisting that the miracles of the "old testament" are nothing but "mythology."

The Church doesn’t say that the Old Testament is mythological.

Where do you find that to be the Catholic position?
