C G Jung wrote concerning people that believed in channelling, the neolism for mediumistic seances, that they “are lacking not only in criticism but in the most elementary knowledge of psychology. At bottom they do not want to be taught any better, but merely to go on believing surely the naïvest of presumptions in view of our human failings.”

In 1858, an apparition of the Virgin Mary manifested to an asthmatic teenager in Lourdes, France. Carl Sagan explains that the Mother of God did not say anything useful like explaining the use of carbolic acid as an antiseptic, but confirmed Pope Pius IX was right to proclaim the dogma of her immaculate conception four years earlier. A hundred million people have been to Lourdes since in the hope of being cured, often of incurable illnesses that they have subsequently died of. The Catholic Church rejected nearly all miraculous cures claimed there, accepting less than a hundred in a century and a half. You are as likely be miraculously cured at Lourdes as you are to win the lottery, about one in a million. Cured women outnumber men ten to one, which seems unmerciful to men.
