Isis isn't "real" in the sense that she said something, like Jesus actually said something. Either a pagan made the words up, or a demon said the original words of Isis. That is why only a few apparitions of Mary are actually approved by the Church. These include Guadalupe, Lourdes, Fatima, and Akita. These to not advocate anything contrary to Church teaching.

I agree. St Paul said:
"Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God..."
But if this apparition was, in fact, quoting a demon then wouldn't that go against Church teaching?
If there were demons behind this then they are not going to come in and introduce some gross heresy. They would do it gradually - like I was talking about in my original post.
