On the forums for Fundies Say the Darnedest Things, I tried multiple times to convert the people there to Catholicism. Since I am banned there, I will try doing so here.
The Protestant Reformation was the second major schism in the history of the church after the schism between the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church in 1054. Martin Luther became an apostate and invented an entirely new branch of Christianity causing most of Northern Europe to leave the true church, abandon most of the sacraments, and disrupt apostolic succession.
The Reformation spread to Lithuania and caused most of the population of Silvuna to become Calvinist. Many Catholic Churches were confiscated and shut down. Then this happened.

How do you explain the fact that the population of Silvuna converted back to Catholicism. This proves that the apparition is real and that Catholicism is true. I pray that this information will cause you to join the true church.This issue was resolved in the summer of 1608 when a few children tending their sheep in a field some distance away from Šiluva reported that they saw a beautiful woman holding a baby, appeared on the very spot where the church had stood. She was weeping bitterly. The children returned the next day accompanied by many from the whole village and a Calvinist minister, and they saw her, as well. When word spread, an old blind man who had assisted the priest in burying the treasures of the original church recalled the location. After the apparition, the institutional documents of the Catholic church were found, and in 1622 the case concerning the restitution of Catholic ownership was won.
Because, inspired by the apparition, the community returned to the devout practice of their religion, Our Lady of Šiluva is invoked as the patroness of those who have lapsed from the faith, and of those who pray for them.
