Both Protestants and Catholics do not present the true faith to the people. The Catholic church does little or nothing to stop the spread of false apparitions. They are afraid if they crack down on these things people will leave. So they do nothing and let them contaminate the rest of the flock who are struggling to maintain the truth as they understand it.
It's all caused by a desperate spiritual hunger everywhere.
No and I am struggling to find my own way. I'm female, so that wouldn't work, would it :-).
