Your friend is not like the people I know who went there. They believe in it so much that it becomes their mission in life to spread the word about it.
Several years ago, I wrote to the diocese over there and put a page together on it and have steered some folks to it (not many want to wade through all that but it was important to me at the time because it came up frequently on a catholic newsgroup on the net and people really didn't seem to know that anybody was against the thing). I don't bother with it much any more, but it you want to see, in depth, what the bishop had to say, here is a link if you are interested.
I got very good vibes about that bishop, Bishop Peric. He had a lot to gain by endorsing it, and all he got was grief over it and was under a terrible burden. He even got kidnapped by some fanatics and held hostage for several hours until he was released. It boiled down to a church turf war which is better not to rehash now.
Before I wrote and asked them to send me information about their determination, I had read a booklet by Michael Davies (thanks again, trads) and a couple of things by E. Michael Jones who really opened my eyes about it.
Or the supernatural nature doesn't have anything to do with Mother Mary!
Sorry about your friends. I remember the days when my friend said it was important to just believe. I told her that it was important to believe the truth! Well, she finally came to see.
That is an absolutely gorgeous webpage, and thanks for the link. I'm bookmarking it, so I can take my time going through it. You really did a very nice job - beautiful font! I think I going to enjoy it. :o)
I've always had a good impression of Bishop Peric, too. I also have an impression that God used his miseries to prove him out. The Bishop stood firm. What an example!
I think I saw the Davies book, but didn't read the whole thing.
