" All those lights ! " is a rather childish reason for visiting
the LaSalette shrine in nearby Attleboro. But around Christmas time
those hundreds of gaudy lit trees attract crowds. The faithful ? The
true believers in The Apparition of Mary ?
Walking around the displays , sipping hot apple cider on a cold clear
night, the visible stars above seemed to radiate more " spiritually "
I thought . Does any still devout Catholic share my revulsion of this
phony religious circus - the Lasalette shrine ?
The " vibes " I get from the faithful here are about as spiritual
as the " vibes " I get at the Warwick Mall.
Is LaSalette a miniature version of Lourdes ? Jesus on sale here !
Mary - A Coming Attraction ! Bring your plastic blue glow-in -the - dark -
rosary beads to hail Her !
For a reasonable fee here alcoholic Catholics and divorced Catholics
and about to crack up Catholics can get spiritual counseling .
But not much help for religious junkies !
Quite honestly Lasalette makes me long for the old time religion of
the Dark Age . Now that was the real thing !
