How do we know if an apparitian or appearance of Mary is real or counterfeit? Doesn’t the Catholic authorities make that determination? If so, how can we validate an apparent apperance of Mary to a Protestant Christian?

There would be no reason to think that the same proceedure would not apply. First, the local Bishop would investigate. If he cannot rule out the possibility, he sends it on up. The only difference that I can see is that the bishop would not have authority of the recepiant to tell them to not promote themselves or whatever.

The investigation would be the same.

I think these appearance are not as significant as apparent appearance of Jesus in up state New York.

Gotta link?

For that, the investigation is the same.

Jesus appears every day at my Church. IN fact, he is there right now. 😉

Up state New York as in Joseph Smith… 🙂 Have you debated with Mormon Christian missionaires yet?

I have your church beat. The Spirit of Jesus Christ dwells in the believers of my invisible church. Our bodies are the temple of the Spirit of Christ. We don’t have to eat His flesh because His Spirit is in us. Notice that I refrained from the z word. 🙂

The Twelve Apostles were the founders of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches not the Protestant Churches which didn’t come into existence until the 1500’s begining with when Martin Luther broke away from the Catholic Church.
 
Protestants have been converted at Lourdes, Fatima and Chestochowa (Poland).

A good mother still loves her child even if the child rebels against her.

The blessed Virgin cares for all her children, especially for sinners.

Based on the answers here, it seems pretty clear that Mary has never gone out of her way to specifically appear or do miracles for Protestants.

Sure some Protestants may have benefited from Her apparition or miracles specifically targeted for Orthodox or Catholics, but never has Mary appeared to directly Protestants for an on-going apparation or on-going miracle as She has for both Orthodox and Catholics alike.

I think there is something very telling about that!

Mary and Jesus have appeared many times to Protestants. It’s only that the Protestant religion does not acknowledge that Mary can do that, and that she cares for them. That’s why you never hear of it.

All of my relatives are Protestants and I grew up in the Protestant world - lots of things get talked about, rumors go around, etc. I’ve never once heard of any Protestant having been targeted by Mary for continued apparations &/or miracles as Orthodox and Catholics have.

No one here has been able to give an example of Mary specifically targeting a Protestant person or crowd for continued apparations or miracles.

I know that Mary has love in her heart for the entire human race which of course for the last 500 years has included Protestants, but I’m begining to think that she has a reason for not appearing to them as a specific group…perhaps she doesn’t want to give them the false idea that they are correct in their theology, perhaps she only appears to either non-Christians and those Christians who are truly Christians by receiving the Body and Blood of our Lord, Her Son, Jesus Christ in Holy Eucharist or some other reason.

I come from a Lutheran background, I know a few Protestants who have have seen the Mother of God and felt her protection when they experienced dark moments in their lives. I know some who have seen their guardian angels too.

But are you talking about one time visions or about the on-going physical tangible miracles of Mary which the Orthodox and Catholics have experienced and are still experiencing?

Miracles are proofs of the true faith. God loves everyone. Miracles are happening because God wants us to believe in him and in his Church.

Can you please name one on-going miracle that is found in a Protestant Church?

One on-going miracle in Orthodoxy is: the Miracle of Holy Fire youtube.com/watch?v=epeH_ZPfrzI holyfire.org/eng/

One on-going miracle in Catholicism is: the Icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the Tilma made of cactus fiber which belonged to Juan Diego youtube.com/watch?v=DmKbXV2DuO8 geocities.com/franciscanhistory/OLOG.html

The miracle of the Holy Fire is a Catholic miracle because it appears in the Church of the Holy Sepulcure, it was Catholic when Helena founded it and it’s still Catholic.

Juan Diego saw the Mother of God, we still celebrate him as a Catholic Saint. As we do St Helena who found the true cross.
 
To answer the title of this post “Has Mary ever appeared to or done miracles for Protestant Christians?”

I am going to recommend that you attend a Healing Service–the Holy Spirit is present!

God Bless!
 
All the graces of healing and all the graces ever known come from Jesus through the Church Catholic.
