Apparitions And Criticism Of Church
One thing shared in common by several rejected or partially rejected alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary: their mention of the Church in any sort of negative light.
Start with Our Lady of LaSalette in 1846, where a prophecy to do with a coming devastating crop failure given to both seers (Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud) was officially accepted while a “secret” granted solely to Melanie was alternately (depending on bishop) rejected, accepted, and, finally, rejected again.
The spurned message had said, in part, “The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honor and pleasures, the priests have become cesspools of impurity. Yes, the priests are asking vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Woe to the priests and those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are crucifying my Son again!” It wasn’t a message to warm the hearts of clerics.
And it didn’t stop there. “A great number of priests and members of religious orders will break away from the true religion; among these people there will even be bishops.”
Then: “The Holy Father will suffer a great deal” and “the Church will witness a frightful crisis.”
