"O, Lord! You have blessed me by bringing me to Your presence. Now, please, grant me an answer. Why do You, who are all-powerful, never manifest Yourself openly before men? Why do you always make your will known through prophets and portents?"
"Oh, it's quite simple. That way, if things go wrong... no one will be able to prove I was behind it all."
"Your Excellency, we have a situation we don't know how to handle. You see, the media are reproducing a sacrilegious image of Our Lord and His Holy Mother."
"What's the problem? This offense to the faith must be condemned immediately!"
"It's not that simple, Excellency. The image appeared miraculously in a convent."
