VOX SFX
Welcome to VOX SFX, a podcast which aims to explore the rich history and traditions of the Catholic Church over the last two thousand years. This podcast is designed to educate those who might not know much about the Church, and to those members of the faithful who may be unaware of the significance of our symbolism and ritual. Through study and interviews, we hope to share this vivid saga of antiquity with a new generation of listeners.

E60 - The Science of Miracles
The word 'miracle' is often used to describe a variety of positive occurrences: a good day, a gorgeous sunrise, or the birth of a child. These may be wonderful things, but a miracle as defined by the Catholic Church is a highly specific concept. There is a process for determining whether or not a phenomenon qualifies, involving exhaustive testing and evaluation by the Vatican, scientists, and other experts. At its core, a miracle is a way by which God is seen to interact directly with the world. Fr Hightower joins us to examine how the Church views the Science of Miracles.
