A lot of things can simply be inferred. Usually those inferences are pretty accurate.
I think it is sad because all the answers are available in Scripture and anyone who falls down to pray to a reflection on the wall is terribly misguided.
Maybe they're simply hungry for some evidence of a power greater than themselves.

With all due respect:
Looking in the mirror should suffice since God created mankind and our existance in fact is among the best evidence of something greater than ourselves...just a thought...
Blessings to both of you...

What I find sad is that they cannot see God and His work within the change to their lives as evidenced by their spiritual rebirth. As a born again believer, I can always look back at the earlier life, unregenerate and unforgiven, and compare my old self to the new, and see the miracle in the change and throw myself at His feet in utter thankfulness. I always have the evidence within my heart, where the Spirit dwells.
Instead, these poor people cannot see God in what you would describe as the miracle of the Mass, or any of the other sacramentalism as the miracle that continues them in their spiritual journey. They seek something else, beyond the church that supposedly is supplying them with the stuff of Grace, and start looking at shadows and lights on the walls.

As long as said Power didn't create the universe in six days less than six thousand years ago . . . eh, Campion?
