Does not sound right to me.  Devout Christians flocking to French church after 'sightings' of Jesus Devout Christians are flocking to a church on the French riviera where both Jesus and the Virgin Mary are said to have appeared to worshippers.
The holy 'visions' are being taken so seriously they are being investigated by a French Bishop and the Pope has been informed.
But the signs that a divine presence is in the room are not the traditional dazzling lights or gentle breeze. Instead, the chosen ones are suffering vomiting and convulsions more akin to scenes from The Exorcist.
The so-called apparitions are taking place during meetings of the Cap-Verdi prayer group at St Paul's Catholic Church in the glitzy Cote d'Azur resort of Cannes. Believers say that Christ and the Virgin Mary have been appearing to them on a regular basis over the past six months.
Church-goer Rita Gomez, who helps run the prayer group, said: "The visions usually begin with the whole building trembling in the middle of a prayer meeting.
"Then various worshippers will fall off their seats shaking violently or being sick. When they come round a few minutes later, they say Christ or the Holy Virgin has appeared and spoken to them."
One 14-year-old girl had fits and began smashing windows, then began bleeding 'pinkish-yellow' blood, Miss Gomez said.
She added: "This might sound like the work of the devil rather than God, but everyone who experiences a vision says it was Jesus and Mary that appeared to them."

In fact, the Church is exactly the place to go to cause ppl to question the faith.
I believe the Church is under a gr8 attack. We can see this within and without. But usually satan enters the back door. IE, uses temptations, media, and lukewarmness...etc
