Nice guys. Very grounded. Surpisingly, not as Marian-focused as you might think. Certainly the La Sallette crucifix (with the hammer and pincers) is prominent, but they weren't very vocal about the specifics of the apparition or about Marian devotion in general. Maybe that's just seen through the lens of youth or the general culture of the 70's and 80's, but I didn't get as weirded out about the apparition of Our Lady of La Sallette as I do about some other apparitions. PERSONAL OPINION ALERT - Medugorje really gives me the willies. So (to a lesser degree) do Lourdes and Fatima.bullschuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440787016495359863noreply@blogger.com
