- Title
Miracles and Wonders: Finding Canadian Medical History in the Vatican Archives.
- Abstract
Inspired by her personal experience as an expert medical witness in a miraculous healing applied to the canonization of the first Canadian-born saint, the author explores details of twelve other miracles that took place in Canada between 1887 and 1978. Using canonization records from the Vatican archives, Duffin identifies thirty other Canadian miracles with their respective causes as an opportunity for future research. Based on an invited keynote address for the Canadian Catholic Historical Association, this essay demonstrates the potential of this source of miracles for the social and religious history of Canada.
