Miracles and Saints with Msgr. Robert Sarno
08:51 – 13:26 The process for the Cause of Saints.
16:45 – 17:35 How the evidence is studied and vetted
19:40 – 19:58 "Now it's very important to realize that a miracle has two elements; there's a scientific element and a theological element. The scientific element is that there is no human explanation for what happened, and so therefore you never ask the doctor: "is it a miracle?" you ask the doctor: "what is the diagnosis?"
23:08 Why the process has to be so strict "The whole idea is to prove this in the external forum. In other words it has to be measurable, it has to be scientific, it has to be factual."
31:58" everyone is a Devils advocate, because nobody has the right to be canonized." (fr. Sarno)
48:45 – 51:09 Why aren't more miracles widespread and well known?
53:05 – 53:24 Ryan has his own miracle with Father Sarno
58:15 – 01:00:45 Why are we seeing less miracles today?
01:02:30 – 01:05:38 The doctrine of communion with Saints in the Catholic Church and explaining it to protestants.
01:13:40 – 01:14:23"Passing implies a passing of one life to another."
