What a joke, you find one unorthodox catholic priest and you think you can refute what all the orthodox catholics believe based on this one priest's opinion.

I'm suprised you didn't also tell Flyersfan to get back in the kitchen?!?!?!
You lash out and insult peoples intelligence in every thread.
Lol yeah I have to defend myself because every thread I try to have normal discussions with others you all come along and try to correct me on various topics and then you get upset when I have peer-reviewed sources that support what I am saying

Me calling out flyersfan's outbursts has nothing to do with whether they're male or female. You too have emotional outbursts.

but Dunning-Kruger Effect.
The Dunning–Kruger effect is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability. This is often seen as a cognitive bias, i.e. as a systematic tendency to engage in erroneous forms of thinking and judging. In the case of the Dunning–Kruger effect, this applies mainly to people with low skill in a specific area trying to evaluate their competence within this area. The systematic error concerns their tendency to greatly overestimate their competence, i.e. to see themselves as more skilled than they are.

Does anyone else get the sense that something downright miraculous might be up ahead?
I have a very strong sense that at some point something major will happen to utterly disrupt the flow of this advance of corruption & deception. Probably just before the Pandemic Treaty is rolled out by the World Health Organisation -
Yikes that's some wild projection you're exhibiting. Me calling out flyersfan's outbursts has nothing to do with whether they're male or female. You too have emotional outbursts. Look how desperately you're trying to catch me in doing something wrong. It's just weird at this point. You've tried to shame me on other threads and it's just really odd coming from a random British dude reaching his later years... Why are you so shameful? Why do you have pent-up misogyny that you project onto others? Or is all of this just a side-effect of you trying to catch me doing something wrong?
Such a strange obsession.

About the topic. What would be considered a miracle? The way it's worded as the thread title seems to imply it would seen across the world?
The opening post seems to intend that it would be a miraculous intervention by God and that it would change the course of history.

The only available Catholic authority that could be found online agreed with my stance. This was ironic because she told me to go find a catholic Bible study lol.
Notice the difference in Jesus’ response to Peter: “Get behind Me, Satan.” This is a difference that makes all the difference. Jesus here is referring to Peter as Satan in a metaphorical way, as an “adversary” (the literal meaning of “satan”) who, because he is thinking as a man does (we never believe suffering is God’s plan), temporarily becomes an obstacle to Jesus.

Thats what I got from the opening post, something for all the world to see, similar to Aliens landing at the UN. A miracle that can't be denied?
The end of days will not happen.
Angels don't exist.
Demons don't exist.
No evidence for the existence of any type of God either.
No second coming of Jesus (doubt he existed at all) and no apocalypse...

When the day ultimately comes that is your personal "end of days" for whatever reason, you might find yourself wishing you never posted this.
I'm no "holy roller", but I absolutely believe something far greater than chance is responsible for all of creation. Call it God or Intelligent Infinity or The Minister of Playful Shenanigans if you want. But we will all have to answer for our actions. There are no free passes and no one gets out of here alive.

This kind of mentality based on fear has been haunting humanity for millenia. The end of days, the end of the world, sins and punishments. I think we have now moved on and no longer believe in ideas and ideologies that created back at the bronze age.

All good... Happens to everyone.
I found that when I activate that extra bit of processing power I could make sense or I would just ask for clarification.
But that's just me being honest when i don't know or understand and I'm also not running on max already and having that extra processing power available...
You'll get there I'm sure, just keep updating.

Calling me a liar? That's rich. I don't lie. But you sure do get caught posting crap that is continually instantly debunked. Every time. You might want to refrain from calling people liars when you have such an obvious problem yourself.

I mean you literally said there is evidence for miracles earlier in the thread- that right there is a blatant lie and you know damn well that you can't provide evidence for miracles.
Everything you guys are talking about is f*cking debunked-
there was no peter, he never existed
there is 0 corroborating evidence from his supposed life.

If miracles were real, so many children in the world on the brink of death would miraculously receive water and food; but they don't. .
Where is your 'god' and your 'miracles'? Inside your own diseased imagination.
The miraculous event involved a French nun, Sister Bernadette Moriau, who went on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in 2008. She had been suffering from spinal complications which had rendered her wheelchair-bound and fully disabled since 1980. She also said she had been taking morphine to control the pain.
“I felt a [surge of] well-being throughout my body, a relaxation, warmth…I returned to my room and there, a voice told me to ‘take off your braces,’” recalled the now 79-year old nun. “Surprise. I could move,” Moriau said, noting that she instantaneously walked away from her wheelchair, braces, and pain medications.
Moriau’s case was brought to the attention of the International Medical Committee of Lourdes, who extensively researched the nun’s recovery. They eventually found that Moriau’s healing could not be scientifically explained.
The process of canonization in the Catholic Church requires two miracles. The first miracle for John Paul’s canonization was the healing of Sister Marie Pierre from Parkinson’s disease through his intercession. The second miracle healed Floribeth Mora Diaz's brain injury after an aneurysm left her terminal. FULL STORIES AT THE LINK
Cases of reported curative miracles are examined by the Catholic Church's Congregation for the Causes of Saints and a committee of medical specialists. If it can be shown the recovery fell outside the laws of nature with no scientific explanation, the prospective saint's intercession with God is considered to have brought about a cure.
In 1998, Monica Besra went to a Missionaries of Charity home in West Bengal, India, as she had a fever, headaches, vomiting, and swollen stomach. She had begun treatment for tuberculous meningitis the year before. However, the medications she'd taken — intermittently, depending on what her family could afford — hadn't kept a lump from growing in her abdomen (though some reports have described Besra as suffering from cancerous tumors, the growth could have been caused by tuberculosis). Surgery was deemed necessary, but Besra was too weak and unwell to undergo an operation.
On September 5, Besra was praying in the Missionaries of Charity chapel when she saw a light emanating from a photo of Mother Teresa. Later, a medallion that had touched Mother Teresa's body was placed on Besra's abdomen, and a sister said a prayer while asking Mother Teresa for help. Besra awoke early the next day to find her tumor had disappeared. Medical exams showed the abdominal mass was no longer there, and the doctors she'd seen agreed Besra no longer.
