The irony of Marian apparitions is that the alleged messages from Mary are usually extremely dire.   They invariably refer to a Jesus is who beyond furious with humanity -- all of humanity.  

The only Marian messages I find uplifting are those from Medjugorje, though those too are sometimes dire.

I guess the Fatima apparitions and messages are respected by most Catholics as being the most authentic.    But I have strong suspicions about the Fatima story.

Still, I find something quite enthralling about Mary and the apparition stories.
