It is always interesting to read about Garabandal but I am never quite sure whether to say a Rosary afterward or just take a shower. Some of the activities, such as the rapid backward running, seem less than divine — even diabolical? Haven’t made up my mind. Would sure like to see an honest accounting of Padre Pio’s orientation to the alleged apparitions. AFAIK Joey Lomangino is still alive and awaiting his restored vision. Still haven’t made up my mind.
Here are a couple of links at EWTN:
The Alleged Apparitions at Garabandal, Spain Msgr. Jose Vilaplana, Bishop of Santander, Spain
MARIAN APPARITIONS & THE CHASTISEMENT
FWIW ... the local bishops don't seem to have quite made up their minds, either. The do seem a bit skeptical.
