The evidence for these apparitions (and likely many of other Eucharistic miracles) is quite compelling. I believe this was proclaimed ex cathedra as One of the main roles (if not the ultimate role) of the Catholic Church is to guide the flock towards salvation – would that be fair to say? Many many people also relate faith to the intellectual understanding of every teaching and practice. Even some practices mentioned in the Bible need arbitration (circumcision – Acts 15, or women speaking in Church – 1 Cor 14:33-35) as to what is a required belief and what is an optional practice.
