I'm Catholic, and I don't know how many of you know about apocalyptic Marian apparitions, but these Catholic extremists/fundamentalists, as I call them, are also coming out of the woodwork.  Their views about this tragedy are basically along the lines of Falwell and Robertson, and they use unapproved by Rome Marian apparitions to back up their views.  They even have ties to Robertson and some of these out-there "ministries" (after doing some research on who they supported and who is linked to their websites).  I was very disgusted by that Falwell and Robertson said and even MORE disgusted when I saw that some Catholics approved of what they said!  While I agree that our society has cut God out to a great degree and we need to bring Him back into our lives, every person needs to discover how to do this on their own terms.  I don't mean to offend anybody who isn't particularly religious.  I don't like religion being rammed down my throat by these extremists, and these people really need to keep their agendas away from the grieving families.  Such crass insensitivity shown at such a time of mourning.
