That is why the Church examines the content of the appearance...when the Blessed Virgin is telling us to repent and turn to Jesus, I think Satan may want to rethink the strategy...
It is like the Pharisees who accused Jesus of casting out demons with demons...didnt add up then, doesnt now...
When considering any such apparition, it is important to look at it's fruits "by their fruits ye shall know them..."
For example, what were the fruits of Our Lady of Guadalupe? Millions of devil-worshiping Aztecs freely converted to the true faith in Christ.
That's what comes to mind when I think of Our Lady of Lourdes and all the accompanying healing miracles. Do our detractors really believe these healings come from the devil?
Did they specifically covert to the Roman Catholic Church?
Well after that one person said devotion to Mary is necessary for salvation I think im going to say its a hoax
What do you think is necessary for salvation?
Salvation is found only in Christ by faith in him. Not of works lest any man should boast. When we receieve Christ we are born again and we become a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17)
You asked: What do you think is necessary for salvation?
I told you its beleiving that Jesus is the son of God.
That's what comes to mind when I think of Our Lady of Lourdes and all the accompanying healing miracles. Do our detractors really believe these healings come from the devil?
Jehovah's witnesses believe that.
Do you believe there is no salvation for Jehovah's Witnesses??
Do you believe there is no salvation for Jehovah's Witnesses??
Have you read the scripture about false Christ's?

What is her Immaculate Heart?
The Immaculate Heart of Mary is a devotional name used to refer to the interior life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her joys and sorrows, her virtues and hidden perfections, and, above all, her virginal love for God the Father, her maternal love for her son Jesus, and her compassionate love for all people
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Devotion To the Heart of Mary
The Immaculate Heart of Mary is a devotional name used to refer to the interior life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her joys and sorrows, her virtues and hidden perfections,
and, above all, her virginal love for God the Father,
her maternal love for her son Jesus,
and her compassionate love for all people
you mention the truth of the Gospel
Jesus died so that your sins can be forgiven
repent of your sins
pray to Jesus
pray for other people that they will repent of their sins
while the devil can mix truth and lies, I do not think the evil spirit can preach Gospel truth, I do not think the Adversary can preach saving words.
as for saying that intercessory prayers to the Saints is the same thing as a spiritual medium, that is insulting
I am surprised that other Protestants did not call you out on such a low view of Catholic Theology
So much for sola fide
