The non-circular evidence for the authenticity of the Catholic Church is primarily historical, both as to its hierarchical continuity with the early Church, its doctrinal continuity with the New Testament and the early Church, the miracles of healing and other gifts with which it has been accompanied through the centuries, and the extraordinary holiness of many saints.

Doctrinal continuity with the New Testament...Surely you jest...Assumption of Mary??? Sinlessness of Mary??? Calling clergy father??? The bible condemns your religion...There is no doctrinal continuity...

Those who propagandize against the Catholic Church therefore concoct accusations of forgeries and frauds, attempt to demonstrate that various Catholic beliefs are absent from the New Testament and/or incompatible with it, and studiously ignore the miracles of healing, and miracles of holiness that have accompanied the Church through history.

Sorry Charlie...Those forgeries are proven and a matter of history...

Your religion or no church has ever healed anyone...Ever...

There’s another characteristic I’m noted among propagandized Protestants: a refusal to answer yes-or-no questions, even when the question is exceedingly simple and totally transparent.

Here's the answer to your question then::: NO...

All you’ve done is demonstrate that you are one of the propagandized Protestant I was talking about.

You “know” a priori that all the healings at Lourdes are fraudulent, for instance.

You haven’t demonstrated that any PARTICULAR ONE of the “approved” miracles is fraudulent.

Go ahead. Do it. There are about 100 of them.

Honest question? Do people who take literally, "Call no man Father" call their male parent by his first name? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm serious. Do they say, "he's my father?" Honestly, I always wondered.

Thanks, and God bless you!
