I looked up the priest in this video and one article said he was a Jesuit and an “experimental psychologist”. He seemed to be more interested in psychoanalyzing people who had apparitions of Mary instead of telling people about Her.

He is correct in saying that public revelations ceased until Jesus comes back , however private ones have happened throughout the history of the church . Also , St Padre Pio although he was of the 19th century definitely bore the stigmata . Also he correctly stated that we are not required to believe in any apparitions according to the deposit of faith .

“The Rite of Spring” is a bizarre musical choice for a sighting of the Holy Virgin, considering that the ballet choreographed for it ends with the pagan sacrifice of a young virgin. I believe the boys....they’re very earnest, well spoken, and unshakable about what they saw. And I’m always very amused at the certainty of men-especially priests and pastors-when they’re confronted with spiritual ambiguity; it’s as though they know everything there is to know when, in actuality, they have nothing but closed, tiny minds, reeking of death and decay! At this time, sexual abuse was being perpetrated by Catholic priests all over Ireland.

[@JDLeonard74]

I believe them too. Flesh sacrifice will always be evil. That seemed to be the whole geist when I was in my 20's. No, I did not like it! And I feel very forced to serve and never be served about it! 😐✝️🙏❤️🪶 Yet I listen to Christ the best I can, instead of pagans and the very real action you described. Many of the women gave themselves away to that! Like a bad case of munchausen syndrome. So many were into this at that time, that there were no single people in Church here. Sick, *and Sad*, as hell itself! Since Marriage isn't allowed I wonder how pre-vetted the Priests were at being able to handle a life of celibacy. Along with the infiltration of the clergy by those with a more secular mortis operandi.~> (Sniff sniff Alinsky sniff sniff) Operandi like in the other pagan direction. Which was the public image rule of the day here where I am, when I was a young adult. The public image sabotage worked for them. Now super stars from _______ "Idol", want your kids, teens, and young adults to wear shoes with actual human blood in them! Because they've been convinced that up is down and vice versa. It's the difference between going out into the forest on the other side of the thorns of ever worsening sin, and going into the forest and knowing God made it all. It's definitely, not going out into them believing one can change their flesh to become some new perfect species. Which my photo wouldn't *still* run like hell from... naturally. As if Yahweh, The God of Abraham got a divorce from Nature. Which helps polarize by proxy. People who hate going into the forest, but love Christ like I do would be pretty easy for them to spiritually rob. Then they own the forest, and your stuck in a concrete jungle. Sick, and sad. At the same time. I work with a guy who will feign celibacy, and project collective lechery when confronted with this truth of watching the societal wheels turn over time. My soul doesn't want to be *those* humans right now! Along with all this encroaching Covid totalitarianism! No thanks, I'd rather go out into the woods knowing Yahweh made them!

Without shoes would have been really hard! Whew🤯. And it makes me think I'd rather get a friendly platonic hug from Sinead O'Connor or Sinead on here, than a God Smack of an Irish kick. If I wasn't already Married, a Sinead would complete me. No doubt. I can't disrespect my vows to God, Wife, and Family. I feel wrong even saying, "if I wasn't already Married". I have to explain these depths of feeling and my depths of honor though. Sorry if I'm too unfiltered sometimes. 😔 I think you're all pretty great. I've just got this odd wound in my mind that doesn't heal. I've been in a spiritual battle since I was 10. I don't know if it's just that or the crazy high fever I got a few months later on Christmas of 1980. Some kind of Evil came to my bedside and got scorned away that Summer. I'm really glad my Aunt was a Lutheran Nun. Because If that's real, then I know for sure that Jesus Christ is real! No matter your denomination, as long as you are truly set on Christ. And seeing Mother Mary is a rightful work of The Holy Spirit too I believe. Because that's what the God of Abraham wanted for you then. I've experienced pretty complex things too. Godly spiritual actions in real time that work like an Ezekiel's wheel, to dreams and things I could go on about for too long and still not be finished explaining. So I'll call good right here. The Lord Jesus bless all who except, and may your days always be fruitful, safe and free. Now that I'm older and understand better?

Surely they went straight to Heaven, and we didn't give it another thought. Well, I know someone who was at a cemetery and had a laugh that someone put an open beer on a grave. A voice said they were in Purgatory, and they never heard a single prayer for their soul. Not a single Hail Mary for me. Only a beer. And you laugh. Some spend hundreds of years there. At Fatima, the children were told that a girl from their town would be there until the end of the world. Just a bit of food for thought.

Why wouldn't some see the Blessed Virgin? Just because the majority of clucks haven't experienced it, doesn't mean it isn't true. I'm sure most of them never experienced much, that doesn't mean the things they haven't experienced aren't real..

My name is Patrick and I grew up and lived in Boston till about 12 years ago. I was in Ireland this year in 1971 when I was about 7 years old with my mother, younger brother and grandmother who was from Inagh, Maurices Mills in County Clare. I believe these boys and I think that the Priest talking was way too closed minded to the possibility of it being true. The Blessed Virgin Mary didn't speak when she visited Knock Ireland either in August 21st of 1879. I wonder why?

[@michaelwhisman]

They are liars. How do they know who or what they saw??

[@Yobbie72]

This priest just doesn't like supernatural events. I, personally, love them. I believe in apparitions and have been to Medjugorje and have been present for four apparitions, both for the visionary Ivan and Mirjana. This is real. And the purpose is to re-awaken the faith of people.

[@allanlindsay8369]

@ Some 10:45 seconds into the presentation, the commentator says one of the boys had seen a film about, "Bernadette of Fatima" there is no "Bernadette of Fatima", that casually tossed error possibly emerges from a need or desire to debunk matters (he provides no proof of what he claims), he really should have done his research better. @ Some 11 minutes into the presentation, the commentator states the Church is remaining silent on the apparitions, "just in case another apparition occurs" that is gross error. The Church remains silent on ALL claims of apparitions until the weight of Evidence may cause the silence to be set aside for the Church to make a pronouncement as to it (their) validity. @Some 11:53 seconds in, Father E. F. O'Doherty is in "error", Fatima was genuine and is now accepted by the Church as such. Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia the three seers now Beatified. AVE MARIA!

Our Lady appeared as a bright light in Wexford, prophetic when we now know what was going on in that parish by the servants of the Lord. I wonder is this professor of Theology from UCD still alive ? Would he like to repent now and beg for forgiveness for his appalling pride and arrogance. I wonder what became of these marvellous young boys. Our Blessed Lady appeared in Fatima & Garabandal and the only reason these messages were not authenticated was because Our Lady Revealed that many Cardinals, Bishops and Priests were on the road to Perdition and bringing any souls with them.
