Marie-Pierre, 43, believes the Virgin Mary speaks through her mouth. Each month, 700 believers gather and listen to her.

Bob Thuaud, who organizes these gatherings, is convinced that these are true manifestations of the Virgin Mary.

“The Virgin Mary asked us to record these seances and to burn CDs,” he explained.

“Everyone should use his judgement when it comes to apparitions,” warns the bishop of Angers, “and the Church does not recognize these events”.
