A Catholic Life Podcast: Episode 124

In today’s episode for the A Catholic Life Podcast I discuss one of the most significant proofs that the Catholic religion alone is from God – the raising of the dead to life.

Over four hundred canonized saints are recorded to have raised the dead. The excellent book Saints Who Raised the Dead by Fr. Alfred Hebert, S.M., documents many of these miracles. Saints such as St. Francis of Paola, St. Rose of Viterbo, St. Andrew Bobola, St. Paul of the Cross, and others are part of this astonishing list. The miracles are historically documented, verified during the canonization process, and serve to glorify God.

No Protestant minister, Muslim imam, Hindu guru, or Buddhist monk has ever raised the dead. Nor have any claimed to do so with an independent verification. Only in the Catholic Church has this miracle occurred across the centuries. As Our Lord said in Matthew 12:26: “If Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand?” These miracles, done in Christ’s name, can only be from God.
