Peter/Paul claimed to perform miracles. When did the power disappear? Can it come back?

No Pope ever performed “miracles”.

@ragingloli Believed to perform, or tricked people to believe , miracles then.

At will? Probably Peter.

Pope John Paul II is being created with a miracle, which will lead to his being beautified, and becoming a Saint.

Such power never existed to begin with.

The threshold for what constitutes a “miracle” has slipped steeply downward since the invention of the video camera.

A small baby has had the healing of an invasive brain illness, after having Pope Francis perform a ‘laying-on of healing hands’*, while here in his 2015 visit to the US.
This occurance was said to be a point being examined towards his journey of future beautification.
*If I have misstated the name of this ritual/action, I apologize.

@Adagio. Sorry, you are correct.

Indeed, the number of miracles is trending downward as the number of cell phone cameras increase. Still waiting on some good footage of Bigfoot too.
