Finally, a decent article in the mainstream media on the Vatican's high bar for miracles, particularly when it comes to healings. Many people--Catholics included--are often surprised by the scrutiny of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints when it comes to healings, and how many things that most of us would consider "miraculous" are rejected. (Reasons? E.g., Being ascribable to medical treatment, not sufficiently documented by medical professionals, etc.) A hematologist and historian considers her experience with Marguerite d'Youville. - Fr. James Martin, SJ.
Experience the joy of the good news from a Jewish sage in Galilee called Jesus. Study the texts which Matthew, Mark and Luke composed about him. For the first semester (SS 201) you will learn about the cultures and traditions out of which these gospels were composed; understand the so-called synoptic problem; and engage in the different passages in Mark and Matthew on Jesus’ life, on what he preached and practiced in Galilee, and on his passion, death and resurrection.
