I understand where you are coming from... but consider several things, 1. many of these apparition messages came from very sweet and holy children (for Example Fatima where The Virgin Mary predicted the Catholic Church would fall into schism due to an infiltration of Satan into the Vatican - she also told the children these things would come to pass at the time Russia would invade Ukraine) - many who scoffed at these messages - but then she told the children God would allow a miracle so that they would believe on Oct. 13th 1917... and almost 100,000 people comprised of believers, nonbelievers, journalists, & atheists witnessed the Miracle of the Sun that day... 2. also consider some of them are confirmed Stigmatists (maybe you remember the Stigmata Movie a few years ago) which means they are very holy devote people that bear the actual bleeding wounds of Christ in their hands and feet - Saint Padre Pio is an example of a very famous Stigmatia... things to take seriously into account.
