Halloween Trick or Treat at Knock
Another crazy prediction by Joe Coleman that the Virgin Mary will show up in Knock on Halloween. What a day to choose? This story is going all over the world and making a laughing stock of Ireland.
This is a man who has previously predicted that the Lost city of Atlantis will rise in 2012.!
He trys to make out he is humble - but it sems he is more than media savvy and is used to getting publicity in the media - he even once had his own radio show in 2007 on Dublin’s 96FM. See Here
He also seems to have a website to do with some more alleged visions of the Virgin Mary in Donegal. There is a testimonial section on the site - but there is only one testimonial on it from a 10 year old boy ! Maybe we should give him a call on his mobile to see what else he has in store for us all.
Claiming to see the Virgin Mary is bad enough - but he makes it even worse by saying she turns into Padre Pio as well ! What the hell is going on there?
If someone stood up in O’Connell Street Dublin or in Ballyhaunis and say they’d seen the Virgin Mary - people would ignore them and think they were either drunk or crazy . But he is not being ignored. Why is that? . Maybe this article is making it worse - but the reports in the papers are just being too nice to him.
At least the Catholic church has made a statement about it now - Archbishop Michael Neary issued a statment which included lines like “It is not healthy, does not give glory to God and certainly is not good witness to the faith to be looking for extraordinary phenomena. For this reason such events are to be regretted rather than encouraged”
He also said - “Unfortunately, recent events at the shrine obscure this essential message - they risk misleading God’s people and undermining faith.”
The supposed picture evidence on YouTube mentioned by Joe Coleman is a joke - it is just badly taken pictures of the sun with glare.
On October 31st Knock will probably be busy - there will no doubt be plenty of Travellers (previously known as Gypsys or Tinkers) - who will flock to Knock. It’s a pity they don’t pay more attention to the teachings of Christ when they are fighting each other at weddings and funerals .
Maybe if people are so sure she will appear - they should have 
As someone said on Politics.ie “Now, do you think the mother of Jesus was going to appear in front of a bunch of assorted gobshytes, tinkers - with their tits and arses hanging out”
Why is anyone paying attention to this man? I blame RTE - apparently he first appeared on “the Afternoon Show ” - talking about this - why did they ask him to come on?
I see some other bloggers are a bit mad about Joe Coleman too.
He’s an out and out fraud, and it is disgusting that the media have not challenged him to provide evidence for ANY of his ridiculous claims.

Elvis has spoken through me. He’ll be appearing at the Basilica right after the BVM show, so be sure to get in early. This is a never-to-be-repeated double header featuring the Queen of Heaven and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Check out their duet of Like a Virgin.
