How Does the Catholic Church Determine What’s a Miracle?
This week we explore, “How does the Catholic church determine what’s a miracle?” The Catholic church might have silly hats and funny cars, but they have a pretty cool way of immortalizing important people… But how is someone sainted, and what’s classified as a miracle.
Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you’ve never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn!
If you’ve got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at podcast@strangerstillshow.com
