    Edit: as requested, for those who have issues accessing the source, here is a summary of the key:

    * red dot: recognized by the Vatican and local bishop
    * orange dot: recognized by local bishop
    * green dot: approved as worthy of faith but not established as supernatural
    * yellow dot: sighting part of local traditions but not formally investigated
    * blue dot: unverified sighting
    * red cross: sighting made by a future saint and established as supernatural
    * yellow cross: sighting made by a future saint but not established as supernatural

  2. At least I don’t have to deal with this particular kind of crazy ’round where I live. That alone makes the protestant reformation worthwhile.

  3. Based on the frequency of sightings, she must live in Switzerland or the Italian alps region.
