By Martina Moyski, Church Militant - Fr. Jim Blount, exorcist: "What I would like to do is jump backwards a few hundred years, and that is because I am completely enthralled with the approved apparitions and messages of the Virgin Mary to Mother Mariana Torres."... Near the end of the 16th century, a nun named Mother Mariana... experienced numerous apparitions... In one vision, the convent chapel where Mariana was praying became immersed in a smoky darkness. The tabernacle opened and Christ Crucified emerged as He was on Golgotha.
