The Miraculous Cure of a Sarcoma of the Pelvis: Cure of Vittorio Micheli at Lourdes

Barbara A. Neilan's The Miraculous Cure of a Sarcoma of the Pelvis: Cure of Vittorio Micheli at Lourdes, published in The Linacre Quarterly, volume 80, in 2013, is a peer reviewed medical case study examining a 1963 Lourdes healing that the International Medical Committee of Lourdes reviewed twice, in 1969 and 1971, and found medically inexplicable by unanimous agreement. Its authority rests on peer review in a medical ethics journal and its direct engagement with Micheli's documented clinical records. It documents the medical committee's own finding of no medical explanation, a narrower and more specific claim than a theological assertion that a miracle in fact occurred, and it should be cited for that finding rather than stretched beyond it.
