What are the reasons for the decline of trade in western europe?
I'm assuming you are referring to the Dark Ages and not today. Western Europe was shut into isolationism after the fall of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire ruled over Western Europe for 1,000 years and it collapsed, leaving Western Europe confused and disadvantaged. The fall of Rome was brought upon and succeeded by Barbarians, who were terrifying people. After the fall of Rome, Europe was shut into darkness, where Europeans were basically living and dying within a few miles of where they were born. It wouldn't be until the voyage of Marco Polo that Europe would flourish once again.

How many capital citys are there in europe?
While the standard count of fully internationally recognised countries is 50, a capital is the area of a country, province, region, or state where the main government (national, regional or local) business is conducted. A capital does not have to be of a sovereign nation, even the US has 51 capital cities, not including unincorporated territories such as Guam or Puerto Rico.
It depends on what you're counting - some capitals aren't big enough to be defined as cities, and some capitals are in partially unrecognised states, autonomous regions and 'countries within countries' - such as Scotland and Wales, both in the United Kingdom. An extended count of these brings the count up to 67 capitals, and that doesn't include Capitals of German Länder, Spanish Provinces or Swiss Cantons, English County Towns, Italian Capoluoghi or Prefectures of Departments in France, etc.
Monaco and Vatican City are city-states and have no separate Capital, France and Switzerland have no official Capital (Paris and Berne are de-facto Capitals), and The Netherlands has two Capitals - Amsterdam and The Hague.
How many people have been cured in the grotto in Lourdes?
Lourdes is the place where, in 1858, a young girl, Bernadette Soubirous, supposedly saw apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Interestingly, when pious witnesses followed Bernadette when she returned to see Mary, they saw nothing but Bernadette said that she did see the vision once again. The Catholic Church soon saw the commercial possibilities of these apparitions and aggressively marketed Lourdes as a place of pilgrimage.
At first, there was no suggestion that miracle cures could be expected at Lourdes, but people of medieval and early modern times expected that wherever Mary's apparition was seen, one could expect the possibility of cures. Lourdes is now renowned for its miracle cures. It receives over 80,000 pilgrims a year, of whom approximately 7000 people in more than a century have sought to have cures confirmed as miracles. Only 68 of these have been declared as scientifically inexplicable by both the Lourdes Medical Bureau and the Catholic Church, a number so small as to suggest that these cases were likely to have been cured or gone into remission anyway. Nevertheless, Catholics and perhaps other Christians go on pilgrimage to Lourdes either to experience this holy site or in the hope of a cure from the water.
