How do Prots reconcile Marian Apparitions?

I agree. We're only supposed to learn from formal prayers.. much like (properly raised) kids learn how to address adults, for example.. or in the old days when we addressed kings. But the formal becomes habitual and the prayer of the heart is eventually informed by it. Every prayer should at least have spirit of the Lord's Prayer in it.. but Jesus did teach us that in a formal way first, for a very good reason.

really makes you think

I believe in the apparition of Lourdes. I find nothing questionable about Guadeloupe either. I don't really care for Fatima and such - sounds like fuel for apocalyptic thinking and conspiracy theories, none of which can be edifying.
She said this in the apparition of the 25th of March. That's the feast of the Annunciation in the Orthodox Church. She was referring to the conception of Jesus, not to her own conception.

They think that they're demons posing as Mary.

Fatima literally predicted WWII.

I deny them

How was it twisted as pro-vatican propaganda? You realize many Catholics consider the state of the Vatican to be in part consequence of not following the Blessed Mother's commands.

As an aside: A more important history of Medjugorje and Croation Catholics:

"In World War II, Pius XII, in his paranoid fear of Communism, did nothing to stop the massacre of 750,000 Orthodox Serbs by the fascist Croat Ustashi of the puppet "Independent State of Croatia" set up by the Nazis. Cardinal Stepinac of Zagreb [people here seem to love him] saw the Orthodox Church as an evil "almost greater than Protestantism," and Franciscan friars ran the most notorious of the concentration camps. In the Medjugorje vicinity, fifty men, women and children were thrown from a cliff-top, and all the monks at a nearby Orthodox Monastery were buried alive."

I felt like just taking quote alone (the rest of the article is actually a sober examination of the apparitions). I just found it funny that scoffing at Orthodox by calling them "schismatic" is the least you could do to them. It's almost nice actually.

Lol good one 😂👌🏻

5 sources stating that the whole thing was probably faked. But I've never actually read the prophecies. I will read it now and come back to you to confirm the things you've said.

My friend what you say its retarded.
There are lots of fake apparitions. The only apparitions certified by the Vatican are in Lourdes, Fátima and Akita, and yes many miracles happened at that place.
