An apparition approved

New French shrine 'could rival Lourdes'

"The Roman Catholic Church has officially recognised a shrine in the French Alps where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to a young shepherdess - the first such recognition in France for almost 150 years."
For those of you waiting in line with your grilled cheese sandwiches, this apparition occurred in 1664. And the line in front of you is long. Just so you know.
