Protestants sure seem to have a problem with material spirituality sometimes....

Not really, we just have a propensity for truth. People appearing from the "other side" unannounced doesn't fit the pattern. It would have been nice if Jesus had given us a heads up that he was going to send mom back on these "close encounter" missions every so often starting sometime after the reformation.

"starting sometime after the reformation"

Like Our Lady of the Snows on Mons Esquilina in 360?

Or Our Lady of Walsingham in 1061?

Or Our Lady of the Rosary in 1208?

Or Our Lady of Mount Carmel in 1255?

You're batting 1.000 today.

lol. "After the Reformation." I hadn't thought of that.

The counter-Reformation was full of coincidences.

**a propensity for truth**

Have you ever visited Mexico City and seen this image?

Well, if you want the truth, you should take the trip.

Please sit down.

Brace yourself.

Breathe deeply a few times.

. . . . I AGREE WITH YOU.

Relax.

Really? I must have missed the part in the Gospel where Mary gets the text message that Gabriel will be appearing later that evening; not to mention all the other unannounced visitations of Angels of the Lord throughout the Old Testament.
