The account
Messages are said to be delivered during prayer sessions, and visitors report cures and fainting. The archdiocese of Salta has not approved the apparitions and has at times asked the faithful to be cautious.
The sceptical view
The Church has not recognised the claims; reported phenomena have not been independently verified.
