Is there any explanation as to why miracle-workers are rarer in the modern day? It seems like at any one point from the 1st to ~19th century there were tons of saints who could levitate, glow, prophesize, heal, etc, yet I don't know of any in the 21st century.

Because it's bullshit

Because cameras were invented.

Once AI image generation becomes good enough you'll see miracles suddenly return. All the 70 iq subhumans will seal clap their way to facebook.

Faith healers are not working in hospitals for the same reason fortune tellers never win the lottery every week

>>17833409 (OP)
Maybe because you don't research it? Pick any modern saint and you'll read at least two. There are witnesses, investigations, arguments against. It's a really cool read.

>The miracle recognized on Thursday is related to a woman from Costa Rica.
>On July 8, 2022, Liliana prayed at Blessed Carlo’s tomb in Assisi, leaving a letter describing her plea. Six days earlier, on July 2, her daughter Valeria had fallen from her bicycle in Florence, where she was attending university.
>She had suffered severe head trauma, and required craniotomy surgery and the removal of the right occipital bone to reduce pressure on her brain, with what her doctors said was a very low chance of survival.
>Liliana’s secretary began praying immediately to Blessed Carlo Acutis, and on July 8, Liliana made her pilgrimage to his tomb in Assisi.
>That same day, the hospital informed her that Valeria had begun to breath spontaneously. The next day, she began to move and partially regain her speech.
>On July 18, a CAT scan proved that her hemorrhage had disappeared, and on August 11, Valeria was moved to rehabilitation therapy. She made quick progress, and on September 2, Valeria and Liliana made another pilgrimage to Assisi to thank Blessed Carlo for his intercession.
>In the decree released on Thursday, Pope Francis announced he will convene a Consistory of Cardinals to deliberate the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis, as well as Blessed Giuseppe Allamano, Marie-Léonie Paradis, and Elena Guerra.

There still are, maybe. Kind of. But it's always kind of dubious things like this >>17833571
where the event wasn't necessarily caused by them just attributed to them, but we don't know either way.
Basically no saints fly anymore though. But I'm sure that in a hundred and fifty years believing in faith healing and telepathy and other strange stuff will be just as accepted and normative as believing the earth is round. It just kind of looks that way to me.

>REAL MIRACLE
>Is just medical god of the gaps
Actually Satan did it.

Miracles still happen
You didn't even Google it

>>17833615
To be fait they have other examples. Like the Eucharistic miracles and such. Of course as with all things it's only real if you believe it.

>>17833649
Not saying they did or did not happen but the decisive factor in the veracity of things like this falls on personal opinion.

>>17833409 (OP)
Wesley huff was the recipient of a miraculous healing.

>Miracles still happen
I never said they didn't, I said they're rarer (specifically miracle-workers)
>>17833659
Ok?

>>17833649
>Like the Eucharistic miracles
All happen in brown countries. Lets see one occur in the Vatican.

>>17834091
There was one in Belgium not that long ago. Only 9 years or so. And 12, 17 years ago there were some in Poland.

>>17834126
Never heard of em. Sauce?

>>17834234
Sorry for the biased publication but you understand only catholics report on this stuff.
https://www.ncregister.com/news/polish-eucharistic-miracle-in-legnica
The rest can be found in the wikipedia page this isn't deep stuff.

>>17834246
I'll give it a read. Every story I heard was always from some mud village in Mexico.

>>17834296
I see. Though for the record the miracles are all authenticated and examined by the same institution so I don't understand why an event in Poland is any more legitimate than one in Brownistan.

>>17833409 (OP)
Seems like the divine grace is aware of say all the cameras on every car in Russia so the miracles stop when a car passes by or something like that.
I'm serious in this but I still want to make it sound funny and thought provoking because it should be, like is God truly hiding it but why? To make atheists and not so serious seekers be justified in their life without God?

>fortune tellers never win the lottery every week
well that one is obvious, never has it been anything but superstition in the eyes even of educated pagan philosophers

>>17833409 (OP)
yeah. and it's not like the bible didn't warn us against "magicians" and charlatans performing "miracles"
but catholics don't read the bible, I don't think

>>17834367
This is wrong, the late Pagan philosophers were great lovers of the Chaldee Oracles, among others.

Even the eleventh century Byzantines still practiced Astrology and such. Even though they weren't supposed to.

>>17835566
I mean truly educated ones not NPCs like Julian the Apostate, like actual philosophers like Plotinus but I can see how they can see some hard determinism actually and therefore give way to say some forms of complex divinations explaining future causes

>>17833571
All of the so called miracles you here nowadays are these "person makes a recovery in a hospital bed" types. Where are all the saints making the blind see, the lame run and lepers healed with just a wave of their hand?
