Not like when that dead guy's body was chucked in Prophet Elisha's grave and he came back to life again.(LINK)

Woooo. Bones. Biblical.

But apparently not biblical doctrinally for Christians...How many thousands of years ago did that happen...And when's the last time someone came back from the dead by touching a pope's robe???

Not by touching a Pope's robe, that Iknow of. But the number of people cured in relation to the intercession of saints in Heaven, very often in conjucton with the prayerful use of relics or other blessed objects, is significant. I suppose there have been 50-60 very well documented from a scientific point of view at Lourdes; plus, most of the canonized saints, at least since the Code of Canon Law of 1917, have had at least one, and usually two, healings or other miracles attributed to the prayer and faith as God honored their relics.

These are the investigated miracles, th authenticated ones. Many more which were never so closely scrutinized.

One which was very well investigated was the cure of Teresa McCarthy, a child at the time (1987), living in Boston; I met her parents. Here are some good accounts:Teresa McCarthy healed by intercession of St. Edith Stein

The Church has always, since Pentecost, been in the Age of Miracles. It's never stopped.
