True believers are seeing Mary again, this time in Saskatchewan on a hothouse wall. Skeptics say it’s just steam from a greenhouse, according to CBC.

But whatever it is, the benign image isn’t hurting anyone and the cult of devotion that revolves around Mary offers many believers solace and comfort.

In some isolated instances those who claim to speak for Mary, such as the “Army of Mary” and “Caritas of Birmingham” have raised concerns, but those who simply see her do no harm.

Perhaps Mary seems more approachable than God, or any member of the Trinity. Faithful Catholics may be pragmatic, hoping that the “Mother of God” might put in a good word for them with her son. After all, most sons do visit their mothers.
