Excuse my ignorance here, but why would the Church need to "approve" a miracle?
Did they approve any of Jesus's "miracles"? If not, doesn't that mean that Jesus might not have actually done any of them?
Because if that's the case, that kind of undermines the Church's ability to "approve" anything, doesn't it, given that their authority is based on him being Truly the Sern Urv Gaaad, and all that?
Or is it down to that old Papal infallibility? You know, the Papal infallibility that is conferred on him by election - like George W Bush* - from a bunch of Cardinals who's own judgement is not infallible, and hence who might have voted for the wrong guy?
What if they made a fallible guy Pope? Would he automatically become infallible on his election to the Papacy? Or was he always infallible, even when he was spouting a bunch of rubbish about flowers and sandcastles when he was 6 years old?
Is Benedict XVI still infallible, or has he gone back to fucking things up now he's not Pope anymore?
I need details, dammit!
*yes I know Bush wasn't elected. But what if the Pope disenfranchised some cardinals too, and got his dad to bribe and blackmail the Supreme Court to appoint him Pope? How do we know he didn't?

I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty.
