How do you feel that the Vatican certified two recent miracles?
After canonizing Galvao, the pope hugged Sandra Grossi de Almeida, 37, and her son Enzo, 7. She is one of two Brazilian women certified by the Vatican as divinely inspired miracles justifying the sainthood. She had a uterine malformation that should have made it impossible for her to carry a child for more than four months, but after taking the pills, she gave birth to Enzo. “I have faith,” Grossi recently told The Associated Press. “I believe in God, and the proof is right here.” 5000 miracle cures cited Benedict pronounced the sainthood of Galvao, a Franciscan monk credited by the church with 5,000 miracle cures, while he sat on a throne of Brazilian hardwood, surrounded by Latin American bishops and choirs of hundreds.

- If it is true, it feels good to know that it happened!
- I agree with the Pope. He's infallible.
- Miracles happen every single day.
- Wow!! You just made me a believer!!! Now I just have to have another 23 people verify that they saw Elvis at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood and I'll believe that too....
- i dont believe anything ret@rded christi@ns say
- Im sorry- im catholic- hows that a miracle?
- Know that churches that are embellished richly were built and funded by the faithful who would have been ashamed to have a house of God that was not worthy of His majesty many years ago. Now we feel differently but at the time this was what the people wanted. Also, Brazilian hardwood today comes from renewable sources. FYI the last 2 popes have never spoken "Ex Cathedra" or an infallible teaching.
- Before the Vatican canonizes someone it has to be demonstrated that several miracles can be attributed to the intercession of that saint. Miracles happen all the time...just read up about Lourdes, for example. Or Padre Pio.
- I'll believe in miracles from Christ when I see an amputee regrow a limb, or someone with a severed spinal cord have that healed. What essentially amounts to a small uterus due to a defect, and a baby being birthed through C-section, to me isn't a miracle. That woman would not have been able to deliver normally, and she wasn't restored to complete health. She was able to get pregnant, but had done so before. Prior to this birth, she had miscarried, and had not surgery intervened, she would have again. The provider of the miracle in this case was very good pre-natal care and the availability of surgery.
