Ahh, Pani Rose, you have hit on what I was referring to.

Not all apparitions are true, and some are just ridiculous, e.g. BVM on a grilled cheese sandwich, in a formed chocolate, etc. How can people take that serious?

There are authentic apparitions, to re-affirm and give witness to the faith. In fact, through the intercession of the Holy Theotokos, I found my way to the faith because of apparitions such as Fatima.

I would not have believed in the Catholic faith AT ALL, if God had not put a conviction in my heart that these apparitions, Eucharistic Miracles, weeping icons/statues, were true. The Holy Theotokos interceded, caught my attention, and turned my life upside down, in a way that I can not doubt, and will be forever grateful.

Another commission is being set up to study the "fruits" of Medjugorje.

The "apparitions" have not been officially approved by the local Church nor by Rome since their "occurence" in 1981.

By the Catholic World News:

Approval of apparitions/revelations in the Catholic Church takes a long time in coming.
