When God sends Mary (or another saint, or an angel) on a mission to do His will here on earth in our own day, the same things apply. I marvel at how people can come to the conclusion that such things can't be from God, as if God always acts directly in mediating our affairs. Scriptural examples of His use of secondary intermediaries abound.

I marvel that Catholics will believe anything with the name Mary connected to it...

"Mary": Only I can help you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.

When someone claims to have contact with a ghost and the ghost communicates and contradicts what Jesus tells us in scripture, you can bet the ghost isn't from God...

'Only I can help you'??? A message straight from Hell...

Might be wise to heed what Jesus says as opposed to ghosts that claim the opposite of what Jesus says...

It may be a little convincing if ghost Mary would just say to follow Jesus...But when the ghost says, 'follow Me', it time to pack up and leave for some better truth...

Do I believe in the "Mary" of Bayside, as one example to serve for many others? NO!!!

Thus, in one word, your contention is obliterated in at least the affirmations of this Catholic. There are very many others who share my negative view of this, and a host of other alleged "Marian apparitions" right here on FR. But, through some study and discernment, we can conclude that some of the apparitions alleged to have occured are what they purport to be.

As for the rest of your comments, I can only say that my previous posts on this thread address them sufficiently. They do not need a PhD in English to parse out. Read them again. Your sentiments hardly negate them.
