I ask this question as I read about the canonisation of Carlo Acutis. Whose mother travelled to many churches around the world, the first miracle attributed to him was a woman’s breast cancer disappeared after she prayed to him.

To me to believe this, your faith must be blind, as the same God who would give this power to a 15 year old also gives power to the likes of Putin and Netanyahu.

I’m trying to get it, like I’m trying to think how could I even if I was a Catholic believe humans perform miracles.

It’s profoundly linked. Any attempt to separate them, or the disconnect your ‘personal’ faith from its institutional expression is just you refusing to take responsibility.

Im sorry but I disagree. And I don't have a personal faith other than atheism. I don't want to undermine or question your experience so I won't engage further. I hope you can find peace with what you have experienced.
