Why do non Catholics go on pilgrimages?

First of all, many other religions have pilgrimages. The Hajj is a massive pilgrimage that Muslims do. There are many other examples. So lots of people who are not Catholic go on pilgrimages relating to their own religion. If you are talking about non-Catholics going on pilgrimages associated with Catholics, then there are various reasons why they might go. When there is a Catholic pilgrimage, people don't have to prove they are Catholic before they go, so anyone can go. Some may be another denomination of Christianity and so share some beliefs and so might have an interest in going. Some go out of curiousity. Some may go out of a professional capacity, such as a reporter doing some work on the pilgrimage. Some may be brought by some Catholics hoping that they will get some benefit out of it. Some people may be thinking of becoming Catholic and may go on a pilgrimage as part of their exploration in Catholicism. So there are many reasons why a non-Catholic may go on a Catholic pilgrimage.
