[quotye]So you did not read the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16, could the reason be it casts doubt on the Marian apparitions? When the Lord descended where did He go? Sheol or hell is divided into two sections Hades and Paradise.[/quote]
If Mary did appear to a poor priest in Guadeloupe, and emblazoned a miraculous image of herself on his cloak that remains uncorrupt to this day, scientists are baffled by this. But because of this mioracle, 10,000,000 Latin Americans are now Christian...how should one interpret this? Mary is working to bring people to Chriust and have them saved? The miracles involving Mary are a living testament to the living in Heaven.
The rich man couldn't go back to earth and warn his friends because they were warned to stop their wickedness by Moses and countless prophets. That's what Abraham told him. All that the rich man could say to them is already there in the bible they probably had in the corner of their house.
