I have, curiously, just put Grotto de Massabiele on my webblog The Journal of Antiquities a Wordpress blog if you are interested in taking a look at that. You can click on via my profile if you wish and look on the right-hand side for the sites - at the moment I have 96 site pages. With regard St St Catherine Laboure (Rue de Bac) in Paris, I have two Miraculous Medals, one given to me by a friend. These show those stars around Mary and those Latin words you mentioned. I have a book on the Renne la Chatteau and the Sauniere legend called The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail - one of the authors being Henry Lincoln. From what you say, everything seems to fit into place, more or less. I have been very interested in Marian shrines for many years with Lourdes being one of my favourites sites, although there are others such as Fatima, Portugal, and our own Walsingham, Norfolk, equally as interesting. What the Blessed Virgin Mary says at these sites I believe to be very important - something we should heed for the future of the world. Mary said that "the cup is full or overflowing". But we do not know for certain what she said with regard to Fatima - only the Pope knows that.
I've been studying Rennes le Chateau since 1982 and arrived at this in an unusual way. I was in South Africa at the time and was invited to a Brie (barbeque) at a place called Honeydew. At this same brie was a neighbour of the host who was called (wait for it) Prince Michael of Albany. With him he had a guest who is well known called
Lawrence Gardner. Later on Gardner told us all about the new book that had been released called Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.
Since then I went from being a total believer to a total disbeliever and back again to being a total believer. I think most people became stuck in the middle stage.
There is more to that place than meets the eye. For those who still buy into the mainstream media hit pieces let me give you some facts they don't tell you.
Firstly
Forget the bloodline hype - it's a Honey Pot to tie up researchers into the wrong place.
Sauniere was not the only priest receiving large amounts of money.
Another priest nearby gave a sum of money for the renovation of a former Nunnery that once held Cathar women for "re-education" this sum was 7 million francs. To put this into perspective the Eiffel Tower cost 8 million francs.
And yet another priest built a sort of spiritual adventure play ground (for want of a better description). The Catholic Church dynamited this.
All these priests including Sauniere are now buried in unconsecrated ground.
Sauniere was an HONOURED guest at a Martinist meeting in Lyon.
Sauniere received letters from Montpelier about an island called Maguelone. The letters involve the worship of ISIS.
The island is near Saint Maires de la Mer where, legend has it, (and they are strong, very strong) Mary Magdalene is supposed to have landed with several others.
But back to Lourdes
Sauniere placed in his garden a statue called Our Lady of Lourdes.
Sauniere paraded this around the area on Midsummers Day
Several of the books from his library have appeared again and they are very interesting.
I've only scratched the surface here.

Cromleck de RennesBy the way the Rennes research Group was approached by a man some here will remember called Michael Bentine.
Bentine had been a member of MI8 during WWII this group now disbanded was involved in working with the French resistance in getting airman back to the UK.
Bentine told the Rennes Research Group not to investigate Rennes le Chateau as it is very dangerous.
Indeed there is still an unsolved murder there which looks to all intents and purposes like a ritual murder.
This murder was carried out on Samhain.
