  • This is right, no? It is a Catholic equivalent of Mecca?

    Jerusalem is a Mecca for the Catholics, if you insist on following such muddled comparisons!

    Lourdes, like hundreds of other religious sites, is a place where millions of desperate people toddle off to each year in the hope that having a wash in special water will make their leg grow back, or cure cancer, or heal their relatives, just because a bunch of kids claim to have seen Jesus' mam in a cave while they were playing out.

    My nan used to go every year.

    She wasn't sick, but the site of so many unhealthy people made her feel superior.
