    Abstract

    What medical doctors have to do with a healing process? Is the theological term “miracle” even compatible with current medical knowledge? How can a miracle cure be recognized? Where does the church's caution come from when recognizing a medically inexplicable healing as a miracle healing in a religious sense? The paper is to present the answer to this question from a perspective of the contemporary Catholic theology. The whole discussion involves firstly a presentation of a new understanding of a miracle as signs from God. The whole procedure involves first of all the idea of a current understanding of miracles as a sign of God (1). Then it will present the participation of medical science in the investigation of the miraculous cures of Lourdes (2). Finally, theological process of recognizing a medically inexplicable healing as a miracle healing in a religious sense will be analyzed (3).
