In a documented case, a 68‑year‑old man with terminal cancer experienced a complete remission after his family prayed for him over three days. According to Catholic theological criteria for recognizing a miracle, which of the three conditions—(i) extraordinariness, (ii) attribution to divine intervention, (iii) lack of natural explanation—is most frequently debated by the Church, and what is the main reason for this debate?

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Condition (iii) - the lack of a natural explanation - is most debated, because future scientific findings may offer a natural cause, undermining the claim of a supernatural miracle.
B. Condition (iii) - the lack of a natural explanation - is most debated, because the Church lacks sufficient historical documentation to rule out natural causes.
C. Condition (ii) - attribution to divine intervention - is most debated, because separating divine action from human agency is philosophically contentious.
D. Condition (i) - the extraordinariness - is most debated, because theologians disagree on what qualifies as truly extraordinary.
