This Sunday night George hosts the following:

Divine Apparitions


First Hour: Author R. Gary Patterson talks about rock & roll and the occult.

Paranormal researcher specializing in Catholic Mysticism, Kevin Cook will discuss the various occurrences of divine phenomena including secrets of Fatima, the miracle cures at Lourdes, and witnesses of the Virgin Mary in Cairo. Hosted by George Noory.

It's almost 1/2 way through the show, however I thought I'd open up the TO anyway in case anyone drops by.

Hi Ever'Body Sorry I was too lazy to open up. Didn't listen to the first hour but I have been listening to Kevin Cook. I'm not hearing anything new, but he is interesting to listen to and explains things well, IMO, for those not familiar with this subject.

Hi Mary

Glad you dropped by...pretty quiet around here these days.

My questions is, do those who don't belong to the Christian faith ever see apparitions of the Virgin Mary?

[Alpha]

Here are some of the photos he's talking about.

This is the alleged on in Zeitoun, Egypt

Here's a photo taken at Medjugorie.

That's a good question Alpha. Would she not appear to someone who would recognize her? I mean, would Athena appear....if she made apparitions....to a non-Pagan who would not recognize her? That looks like a good Fast Blast question

Another one at the Shrine of Knock, whatever that is

I guess my question centers around intention....what is the intent of these apparitions?....would it matter if the person believed in the Virgin Mary as the mother of Christ or not. Would the message if there is one not hold the same import? Just thinking out loud.

Knock is a village in Ireland.

My entire life those questions never occurred to me. I'm glad you're thinking out loud here Alpha

Thanks Mary....I didn't know that.

I have another question. Do the apparitions of the virgin Mary only appear to Catholics?

She is not a huge part of other Christian denominational reference.

[Alpha]

I think most people around the world today would recognize the Virgin Mary now Mary, even if they were not Catholic....just because she is such an important figure in the Catholic Church and there are pictures, stained glass art and statues of her at most Catholic churches around the world.
