Get StartedI went to Catholic schools throughout grade school and high school. I heard it all...all the B.S.
It's not necessarily the fault of your teachers that you rejected the teaching. And, devout believer that I try to be, I believe that I've only "heard" a minute fraction of what Catholicism is all about. And I spend an inordinate amount of time in prayer and research.
Did you know that St. Thomas Aquinas spent 40 days in Rome preaching on the Hail Mary? It's a 42-word prayer.
I'd start here. Link
Do Catholic Mary and Coptic Mary keep in touch with each other, so they don?t both make the same Marian apparition at the same place and time?
Because that could be super awkward.

Below is a list of alleged events
here is another equally scientific site for research

I did a little diggin.?
This is pretty cool.
Start at the section ?Assessment by the Catholic Church.?
This section describes that the church realizes that a lot of the apparitions are bullshit; maybe the people claiming to have seen the apparition are lying, or maybe they?re just freakin? crazy.
So the church has a litmus test to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to say.
And the church also doesn?t require the faithful to believe that any of the ?approved? apparitions are actually real. A person can believe that they?re all bullshit and still be Catholic without dire consequence.
Don?t skip the story of Jetzer. Four dudes were burned at the stake by the Church, by order of the Pope, in front of 30,000 people, for pranking a guy into thinking he had seen an apparition.
That?s pretty damn funny.
Poor Jetzer, fooled and then he thwarted a poisoning attempt on behalf of the "pranksters", who committed a high form of heresy, and well knew the penalty in advance. It's a bit more involved than the blurb in the link.

There is only one Mary, venerated by all Catholic Rites that are recognized to be aligned with Rome.
Well, the source you linked to cited the both.
Same Mary; different Catholic Rite.
Do they wear matching Catholic school girl uniforms? Or is Coptic Mary?s uniform different?
India is facing an uncontrollable spread situation. They just broke the daily new cases record, but it appears that will be repeatedly broken. Over 3 million new cases in past month. With how exponential the spread appears to be, they appear to be on course to an extremely bad humanitarian situation.
All industrial uses of oxygen are being diverted for medical use, bodies being cremated but the morgues are overwhelmed to point they are using outdoor areas...which are also so overwhelmed that bodies are now being cremated on sidewalks.
Meanwhile China still claims unbelievably low numbers.
I'm not a conspiracy guy, but it's hard not to think that China started this thing in a lab, it got out, but China had a vaccine from day one.
That or they are lying and millions are already dead.

That?s okay.
The virus doesn?t spread outdoors...especially when the infected are no longer exhaling.
And cremation is probably the best way clear the sidewalks of those dead bodies, so the little Indian kids can get back to work begging.

I wonder if a few Slumdogs paid off people who were sick to go into the poorest areas to spread it in the hopes of removing the shanty towns with the hope they can remove to poorest people and thereby charge more to those slightly less poor.
That or the Tech Supports and Digital Scammers are needing more office space, so clear out the shanties and build more offices to rip off more businesses and individuals in the US.
