Virgin Mary here, there, everywhere

• Catholic

From a review of The Miracle Detective: An Investigation of Holy Visions. (The book was published on April 1st.)

One clergyman asserts that most bishops would "rather have a child molester in their diocese than a weeping statue of the Virgin Mary." It's less work. A molester does not bring a parade of pilgrims, profiteers, hysterics, investigative theologians, and journalists. Of the 295 alleged apparitions investigated by the Roman Catholic Church between 1905 and 1995, only 11 have been approved — fewer than one in 25.

I hate the fact that we can allow everything, from violence, to sex, and yet, many people can't give credibility to something that really matters. Realize this people, you must listen to the important messages the vigin mary has to say, or else you risk losing a lost, including your soul.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Virgin Mary here, there, everywhere. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
