And now we'll see...

...
how many of the faithful pay attention to the direction of the Church leaders...

Bishop says shrine off-limits

As I've experienced it, the 'apparitions crowd', for lack of a better term, particularly the Marian 'apparitions crowd', are a mix of all the 'leanings' in the Catholic Church, like most groups are - liberal, conservative, traditional, etc.. The traditional and conservative groups claim intense loyalty to the Magesterium, so it will be interesting to watch what happens. I only say this because those who believe and promote apparitions and apparition sites tend to be very strong in their beliefs. Well, God bless them all, anyway...
