The Tide of Vain Credulity: The Church's Role in Apparitions Most Rev. Jean Honoré, Archbishop of Tours
Catholic Apparitions of Jesus and Mary "The purpose of this website is to provide information about the Church's position on the major apparitions of Jesus and Mary. The site rates the different apparitions and designates which ones have Church approval. This site seems to be well-balanced and obedient to the Church's position and does not promote unapproved apparitions." (Petersnet)
Marian Apparitions of the 20th Century The Mary Page (C,A,A) This site has much to offer about Our Lady however there appears to be a slight taint of radical feminism so we recommend caution.

Dissent/Disobedience
"Open dissent is opposed to ecclesial communion and to a correct understanding of the heirachical constitution
of the People of God."- Pope John Paul II
It is sometimes claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with being a "good Catholic" and poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. This is a grave error that challenges the teaching office of the bishops of the United States and elsewhere. - Pope John Paul II, Los Angeles, CA., Sept. 16, 1987
