A town called Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very lucrative business selling bullshit. The cash cow started 37 years ago in 1981 and it continues today. Some kids claimed they saw an image of the mother of Jeebus, aka Mary. And Mary talked to them. These kids have grown up but still the very dead Mary is there every day to talk to these liars for Jeebus.
Catholics are Catholics because they are very gullible. For the Catholic industry this is a good thing. These people I met traveled from Idiot America to this little town which is now a very wealthy town to have a very expensive dinner with these professional liars. The bullshit is good for everyone in the town because the hotels are full and numerous jobs have been created to accommodate the retards who go there.
The Pope knows the whole thing is bullshit but since he is in the same bullshit business he pretends the bullshit was real, but not necessarily real now.

On May 13, 2017, a Papal response came when Pope Francis was asked by journalists about the alleged apparitions. The Pope stated "The first apparitions, which were to children, the report more or less says that these need to continue being studied." He then went on to say "[as for] presumed current apparitions, the report has its doubts. I personally am more suspicious, I prefer the Madonna as Mother, our Mother, and not a woman who’s the head of an office, who every day sends a message at a certain hour. This is not the Mother of Jesus. And these presumed apparitions don’t have a lot of value.”[24][4] In addition, four days later the commission on Medjugorje established in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI and chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini voted thirteen to one to confirm the supernatural origin of the first seven occurrences of the apparition.[25]
However, the commission report itself is not a decision. The final decision will be made by the Pope after Polish Archbishop Henryk Hoser has completed his examination. He has been given a "special mission of the Holy See" to "acquire more in-depth knowledge of the pastoral situation “In Medjugorje, and “above all, the needs of the faithful who come to pilgrimage” to “suggest any pastoral initiatives for the future.” Archbishop Henryk is expected to give the Pope his report sometime in the summer of 2017, and the Pope may possibly make a final decision on Medjugorje by the end of 2017.[26]
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
