Virgin Mary of Lipa

In the US, we have the virgin Mary's image appearing in windows and under overpasses in chicago.
But years ago, there was a reported appearance in the Philippines in Lipa.
Sounds like typical hysteria to me, except that in the Philippines appearances of the Virgin are not big thing-- they happen all the time and then get forgotten. But this one hasn't been forgotten, and has indeed grown. So the bishop is planning to reexamine what happened.
Now, I have no opinion on the appearance -- I figure 99 percent are hysteria, hallucination or fraud, although I do think about 1 percent are real..
But I once knew a Spanish exchange student whose uncle was a Jesuit...and his uncle was with the vatican group mentioned here...his uncle didn't believe in any apparitions, and therefore would have opposed this.(the student was snotty, so I suspected his uncle was also snotty and acted superior to ordinary people).
The problem is that in the 1960's, there were people who believed miracles NEVER happened, so if you claimed a miracle, they dismissed it without examination.
Now the bishops are fighting back against the overintellectualization and the skepticism of European Catholic bureaucrats.
So bully for the bishop.
