Yeah, from the current scientific standpoint that is a tough one. In
light of Io, Callisto, Ganymede and Europa it isn't much better. But,
dogmatically, the Church places it within the power of the Holy Spirit.

As soon as the Holy Spirit is invoked we are not long in the land of
rational proof or explanation. Church Doctrine can be -rationalized-
(as opposed to proved or verified) twenty ways from Sunday. It is all
nonsense.

Have you noticed that in those areas where scientific explanation has
succeeded miracles have ceased to happen?

When a natural explanation is proven it isn't a miricle. If past
miricales involved a means that could be explained naturally then their
interpretation as a miricles needs to be investigated.

Why do you think that is so difficult to be proclaimed a Saint,
especially in the modern world? And yes I know JPII was pumping them out
but it doesn't mean they weren't valid.
