Re: Good Question For Catholics and Others
Any objective scientific and psychological method which cannot determine a natural cause is the normal method for establishing the truth of a miracle.
One should do it because the falsehood of a perceived miracle could lead people astray and away from the truth. For example, a Pope performing miracles could lead to the worship of the Pope rather then the religion he represents. There are instances of demonic activity which seemed like "miracles" but were determined not to be by the Church. The end result of these false miracles was always the damnation of souls, even if it did not look like it from the outset.
