Good for him

Knock 'apparition' criticised

The media really knows how to sensationalize things, though, don't they? The Bishop isn't criticizing the original apparition or those who experienced it, which is what the headline suggests. In fact, he is quite kind when speaking about them. What he is criticizing are the 'apparition-seekers' who spend their time drumming up enthusiasm about possible 'apparitions' or unproven ones. It seems these people are often more interested in the 'apparition' than in God.

But he's not trying to 'knock' the original apparition...
