Fact: to become a saint, it must be PROVED that the person performed TWO MIRACLES. That's right, miracles, defined as "an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause."

Yes, there was objective proof that these two dudes performed MIRACLES. The world should rejoice that such miracles are real.

Childish bullshit.
