S5 E14: Saints or Superheroes

Could some of history’s most revered saints have had... superpowers?

This week on That Would Be Rad, we take a strange and fascinating journey into the world of Catholic sainthood — where documented miracles, ancient testimonies, and unexplainable phenomena blur the line between faith and the fantastic.

We’ll cover:

• What it actually takes to become a saint

• The difference between canonization and just being considered “holy”

• Why miracles are required — and how the Church investigates them

• Saints who were said to levitate, bilocate, glow, heal, and survive without food

• The wildest, most unbelievable stories that STILL can’t be fully explained

Are these exaggerated legends? Symbolic myths? Or… something much more?

Join us as we explore the thin line between divine mystery and superhero origin story.
Because sometimes, history isn’t just strange — it’s radically strange.
