Irish archbishop warns against reports of new apparitions at Knock October 27, 2009

Archbishop Michael Neary of Tuam has warned against reports that the Virgin Mary will soon appear at the shrine of Our Lady of Knock, the site of a reported apparition in 1879. These predictions, made by a self-styled faith-healer in Dublin, have roused extra interest in the shrine. But the archbishop said that the reports "risk misleading God's people and undermining faith." He added: "It is not healthy, does not give glory to God and certainly is not good witness to the faith to be looking for extraordinary phenomena."
