Why can't Christians levitate anymore, like Francis of Assisi?

We can, but most have forgotten how.

Unfortunately, the age is such that mysticism and miracles are not very well-believed nowadays. But sure enough that age is dawning once more. In a hundred years claiming psychic powers will be as normal as being diagnosed with Autism.

Really? Why would humanity suddenly become retarded again and believe such nonsense?

>>17788220
Granted, it's not going to be literally the same as the high medieval mysticism of the middle ages: bishops being miraclously healed by drops of milk from the virgin, stigmata, transverberations, Catherine of Siena, Meister Eckhart.

It's going to be the Telepathy tapes and "Buddhism&Science"

Humanity does not necessarily progress forward through time in perpetual elevation, in my view. The Chinese of the Late Spring autumn and warring states periods were very rationalistic. Sinologists of the early 20th century noted that in their core, the ancient Daoist texts are very rationalistic and mechanistic in their thinking. The magic and mysticism came later. A sentiment similar to that prevailed during the Islamic golden age. Tiem passed they sunk back towards the norm.

I think they say Padre Pio could, and he only died in the 60s

I wanted to find a steamed hams reaction image to post as a reply but this came up on google. It's like they know about the meme or something

That's very clearly St. Joseph of Cupertino you disingenuous doubter. He could float during mass because he was incredibly humble. He shoveled shit for years in a stable and did all sorts of jobs that increased his humility.

Because early and medieval Christianity was Marvel slop tier. The Reformation began clearing away all this nonsense, eventually leading to a more sober and grounded Christianity.

That sounds like the type of thing you'd read in a Buddhist or Hindu Hagiography desu.

Flying is literally the easiest thing to do

>jump off
>accelerate under force of gravity (happens on its own)
>miss the ground

flying is just missing repeatedly.

CGI. Ai. Government propaganda. Poison in our food. Dependence on a nanny state to think for us. eliminating merit based systems. Dumbing down curriculum. Speciation of the wealthy.

How do you know they don't?
Miracles happen all the time in this current age within the Church

But every single time, the devil aiding aethiest will say
>N-not a miracle!
>No evidence, err uhh that evidence d-doesnt count!

And it stops right there.
The following isn't to be mean, but tell the truth. Because I honestly don't think they're aware of it themselves because they are so addicted to pride.

There is no community more dogmatic, unreasonable, or let's be honest, stupid, than the miracle denying aethiest.

>How do you know they don't?
Because I've only seen Buddhists do it IRL, never a Christian

Might be demonic, but I'd have to see it to tell
Still pretty cool though
