I am a non-Catholic, who might convert to the Catholic Church in the next year of two.

As to your question, I look at Marian apparitions with reserved acceptance. I am not sure that all of them are real, but I am also reasonably sure that some of them are real. Quite frankly, most of the Marian doctrines are beliefs I expect to simply assent to once I have decided to convert. I am not enthusiastic about them at present, but they do not constitute obstacles to my acceptance of the Catholic church.

Anyway even the ones deemed worthy of belied by the Church do not contain anything that contradicts or adds to the teachings of the Church.

You’re right to believe that in a way. But the Catholic Church sort of make sure the approved ones are real. By…

1. 
   *]Making sure it doesn’t contradict Biblical or Church teaching
   *]Making sure it’s not a hoax (like a staged illusion or otherwise)
   *]Making sure the person isn’t crazy
   *]Making sure it’s not the devil in disguise
   *]Make sure it can’t be explained by natural causes (like if someone thinks a statue is crying and there’s a leaking pipe above it)
   
   There’s been a couple of Apparition proven to be true, like Guadalupe, some are waiting approval like the lady at “Medjugorje”, and some are condemned like the apparitions at “Ezquioga”

I think the most interesting thing about Guadaloupe is that the image on Juan Diego’s tilma is the only earthly object ever declared by the Vatican to be of supernatural origin.

However, I don’t think there are any images in Mary’s eyes.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the official stance toward approved apparitions just that they are approved for veneration and there is no requirement to believe them?

Catholics are not required to believe them.

Be careful with that first link. The channel is that of a sedevacanist organization. Their Mariology is good but the other vids aren’t too nice.

Yes I noticed, thx for the heads up though. Some of their videos are god nonetheless, I havent seen a Marian video like that one, which in my opinion is the best one ive seen. But yea they have other videos which go against current popes
