Whether any miraculous cures can be attributed to prayers offered up to him since his death?
What does " whether any miraculous cures can be
attributed to prayers offered up to him since his death" mean?
Cure who? The King was death, people came to offer prayers for him; and these prayers cured other people?
Background info:
The Roman Catholic Church on the one hand seems sometimes
to aspire to NOMA, but on the other hand lays down the
performance of miracles as an essential qualification for elevation
to sainthood. The late King of the Belgians is a candidate for
sainthood, because of his stand on abortion. Earnest investigations
are now going on to discover whether any miraculous cures can be
attributed to prayers offered up to him since his death. I am not
joking. That is the case, and it is typical of saint stories. I imagine
the whole business is an embarrassment to more sophisticated
circles within the Church. Why any circles worthy of the name of
sophisticated remain within the Church is a mystery at least as deep
as those that theologians enjoy.
