The Vatican is cracking down on Miracles!

In 2019 Scott Morrison defied opinion polls and led the Coalition to a shock election victory. Morrison declared – “I have always believed in miracles,” as he claimed victory.

It seems the Coalition’s 2019 victory was not a miracle after all – that’s according to new rules from The Vatican – who are cracking down on what is and is not a supernatural event.

Guest: Philip Almond is Emeritus Professor in the History of Religious Thought, The University of Queensland.

Presenter: Warren Andrew
