>>Marian apparitions are weird, sick, and profoundly disturbing to Christians who walk with God. <<
So those of us who believe in Fatima or Lourdes are not Christians who walk with God?
Good question. The charitable answer is that, as long as we are on this side of the Resurrection, we will all have our blind spots. Faith in Fatima and Lourdes is incompatible with Biblical Christianity. So, too, is sending kids to public schools. So the challenge we face is to affirm one another in love, while politely pointing out inconsistencies, and leaving it to the Christian and his God to work things out.
