Common questions

Is Marcilio Haddad Andrino real or fake?
Miracles Jar's verdict is Silver: strong case, short of proof. Extraordinary if it happened as told — but the evidence can't fully confirm it. On the evidence, the record is well documented.
Has Marcilio Haddad Andrino been debunked?
No. Extraordinary if it happened as told — but the evidence can't fully confirm it. The strongest natural alternative considered is spontaneous remission & the body's own recovery, but it does not fully account for the case.
What is the evidence for Marcilio Haddad Andrino?
Miracles Jar weighs 3 sources for this case. Points that support the claim: Eight large brain abscesses documented on imaging disappeared before surgery; complete neurological recovery followed; Vatican Dicastery for the Causes of Saints approved the miracle in December 2015 after full review; and No treating physician has publicly contested the Vatican's finding, unlike the Besra case. Points that cut against it: Brain abscesses can respond to antibiotic therapy; if antibiotics were already being administered, partial or rapid resolution is possible.
What is the natural explanation for Marcilio Haddad Andrino?
The leading natural account is spontaneous remission & the body's own recovery. Diseases sometimes resolve without treatment, or despite it. “Spontaneous” rarely means “no mechanism” — more often it means a mechanism we are only beginning to instrument. The full breakdown shows where that explanation holds — and where it stops.
When and where did Marcilio Haddad Andrino happen?
It is said to have occurred 2008 in Santos, São Paulo state, Brazil.
