I’m sad to say that if Francis et al are telling me that “med…” is kinda sorta ok it means it’s not Our Lady, and should be ignored. And can I whine about the loss of interest in reading anything longer than a substack post? Think about the treasures of Catholic writing in “long-form! I agree that Fatima has it all, and Sister Lucia’s messages in the 20s and 30s filled out the rest of what we most need to know. Repent, do penance and make reparation for self and others. Thanks, Peter for an informative review.

I am so glad you hold up Foley's book on this. I too was skeptical about the apparitions at Med..., but Foley's book clinched it for me. Further bolstering my adamant stance on Med...(sorry, it's a hard word to spell out each time) is its connection to the Catholic Charismatic Movement. One excellent thing I learned as an Evangelical Protestant was to distrust anything "charismatic." A neighbor of mine has been to Med... but I have not asked about it. He has a positive take on the place; I will note that he is a Catholic man in his 70s who is very devoted to the NO. Early in this woebegone pontificate PF actually said something I agree with, essentially mocking the Med... "Gospa" as a chatterbox (my word), which is totally unlike any of the authentic apparitions, or Our Lady in sacred scripture, for that matter.
