Meanwhile ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE Pope Francis calls bullshit on Marian apparitions in Medjugorje.
In the following years, the Bosnian village became a major pilgrimage site, giving many visitors a renewed sense of spirituality and locals a steady source of much-needed revenue. [and what other places are not sources of revenues?]
It also became the focus of controversy as local Franciscan priests running the site promoted their claims in such open defiance of warnings from the Vatican that some were expelled from the order and the local bishop called them schismatic.
Some of the alleged visionaries, now adults, say they still experience apparitions regularly, and that the Madonna tells them ahead of time when she will appear to them.

Oh, but how can it be fake when so many genuine Christians have felt it was real? Even Jim Caviezel went there to replenish his Christian experience that can only come from genuine Marian visitations.

Could... Could it be that all those Christians are delusional even by Christian standards? Just look at all those delusional bastards:

I mean all those supposed healings told by Franciscans! It turns out they were just dirty liars. Not to mention Franciscans who above all are supposed to be about poverty are mocked even by a pope.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
