"To accuse a Salesian of being a bit weak in his Marian piety is frankly a bit ridiculous. From when I was little I was brought up always to turn trustingly towards Our Lady of Help. And over the years, thanks be to God, that trust has never faded. That, however, doesn’t mean that one mustn't always respect the official position, as it is, of the Church on delicate questions such as those regarding real or alleged Marian apparitions."
