Catholic blessings

Are Catholic blessings valid? Is there any church canon that condemns other blessings, I know the Catholic Church views our blessings such as water, Eucharist, palms, etc as valid but I don't know if it is the other way around. I'm asking because I have received a few Catholic things that are blessed such as a rosary and some holy water. Also just a side question is it wrong or looked down upon to believe some Catholic miracles? Like the Marian apparitions or the st Michael apparition at the gorgano cave? Just wondering, thank you.

Are these real?

I keep seeing these types of relics in different places, I know this is a dumb question but is there any way these are ACTUALLY relics? Or maybe I'm just appalled by the blatant forgery that may be taking place.

"Me" would argue that Greek grammar (two articular nouns with one possessive) directly identifies Jesus as "my Lord and my God". In John 20:28, the phrase "My Lord and my God" is a single, direct address to Jesus, not a separation of Jesus from a dwelling Father. While McClellan, a scholar of the Bible and religion, argues that the Gospel of John does not present Jesus as God, this view is contrary to the broader scholarly consensus. The narrative presents Thomas's statement as a climactic confession of faith in the risen Jesus as both Lord and God.

"Opponent" it sounds like you’re trying to leverage Granville-Sharp, but the fact that each noun carries its own article as well as its own possessive pronoun (there are two, not just one) absolutely precludes that principle.

Help? Or am I just wrong lol
