She prayed TO a POPE?
That’s completely un-biblical.
Interesting. However, if a hundred other people prayed to the Pope for healing and all died regardless, does that deduct from his total?? Never quite understood the setup...magritte

...and herein is exposed some of the great divide between Protestants and their Catholic brethren.
This miracle business needs to be regulated somehow, by the Church, or even the gummint, otherwise it’s like a state lottery, somebody wins, but realistically your chances are nil. Let’s say I need a miracle (and as a matter of fact, I do) where do I go? As one applicant observed above, what’s the arithmetic of miracles? One gets it, 100 don’t and die, what’s deal, dude Papa?
My goodness, what a lot of fuss and fluster.
I think this is terrific news. Unqualified Yippee! I believe I’ll text Der Prinz and ask him to pick up a bottle of wine on the way home ... or just scurry off to the Harris Teeter myself. Maybe they’ve still got the New Year’s champagne discounted. (They have much nicer eggplants than Walmart, anyway.)
