Sure. And I heard today on Radio 4 (appropriately enough, in a religious programme called Beyond Belief) that supposedly senior, serious men in the Vatican are sitting around conflabbing about whether to declare these alleged sightings genuine. You couldn't make it up, could you. Well somebody did! I suppose it's tradition to have these things. Isn't Lourdes "dogma" now? Blimey, what a club!
