Also, the Apostles and more importantly their MESSAGE/SCRIPTURE was authenticated by God via the miracles they performed. The Popes/Magesterium have no such authentication from God for their extra biblical tradition.

Nothing could be further from the truth! The problem is Protestants habitually declare these miracles, which occur even into the present day, to be "lying signs and wonders."

just the miraculous transformation of discarded consecrated hosts into human flesh and blood is a study in its own right.

Clearly the miracles associated with the Apostles were extreme and undeniable, IE raising the dead, healing those crippled from birth, etc..

God heals today, mostly through prayer, not people.

Are “lying signs and wonders” not in your bible?
