Truth be told.
But it’s much more fun to misrepresent then let the readers find out.

Because in someone’s mind, the damage is in the accusation and not the facts.

Let's see, in the last few weeks we've had:

1. A quote from THOUSANDS of Catholic websites that turned out to be a complete fabrication.
2. A picture which can only be found on the website of some wacko who hates basically everyone. And the photo doesn't even remotely seem like it would fit at the basilica it is purported to, which is one of the oldest and most photographed in Rome.
3. Now we have yet another photo which is purported to be from a Catholic website. However, the website is actually Crystalinks.com which belongs to a woman named Ellie Crystal and is her "Metaphysical and Science Website". When you go to Ellie's biography you are told that she is a "psychic, healer, teacher, researcher, lecturer, author and broadcaster," But wait, there's more . . . as you read on you will also be told that she is a "nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn," and she has spoken to a "entity named Zoroaster" all of her life and she now just calls him "Z". However, NOWHERE in her biography does the word Catholic or even Christian appear (though she does mention sitting at her computer on Christmas of 1989 and receiving a vision of a boy). Basically, one would have to really try to find a website which is LESS Catholic than Ellie's.

Basically, this is stuff that Dan Ratherbiased would probably shy away from, but that's just me.

1) There are probably TENS of thousands of Roman Catholic websites glorifying idolatry and elevating Mary to "co-redeemer" status, just like their pope John Paul II did. A simple google search reveals their pathetic multitude.

2) The photos of Mary on the cross with Jesus have been attributed to Roman Catholic churches. Obviously no amount of authentication would satisfy those who believe their popes are infallible one day; and not the next.

3) If that link isn't a Roman Catholic website, it was an easy mix-up because SO MANY Roman Catholic websites offer the same idiotic fantasies, fever dreams and "vain jangling" with their "crying statues" and their "bleeding hearts" and their "visions of Mary" appearing to gullible peasants who cough up hard-earned cash to support a church that paid out a billion dollars in two days in one city to settle sexual abuse charges against its priests, those "alter Christus."

For instance, here's what they're peddling at catholictradition.org as "our hope"...

Blasphemy. Our hope, our ONLY hope, is Jesus Christ.

"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?" -- 1 Thess. 2:19

Apparently some aren't, and so they look elsewhere.
