With regards to Marian apparitions, which are false, and from Satan, they represent how ALL RC teachings are useless and unnecessary to convert and live as a Christian. For example, there is the case of Mexico were every missionary work from the Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits, etc. failed to convert the native people of Mexico until the RC's came up with a Marian Apparition in 1531. The natives just syncretized their pagan beliefs with pseudo-christians beliefs. No Biblical Gospel was preached, only medieval RC teachings with the "sword" that is.
