Knock apparition claims a threat to faith: Archbishop

THE Church has said the faithful are in danger of being misled by recent claims of apparitions at the Knock Shrine.

Archbishop of Tuam Dr Michael Neary has warned that recent events at the Mayo pilgrimage site risk undermining faith and such visions should be discouraged.

The 130-year-old sacred ground has been the focus of allegations of the sun dancing in the sky and images of Our Lady being seen in its light by pilgrims in recent weeks.
