No apologies needed, no harm done. Thank you for even bothering to respond to me. God bless.
Thanks for your prayers. But I suggest your reserve them to people who, in their spiritual bankruptcy, turn to mystics and private revelations to...
Thanks for the complement
Thank you. It can be quite annoying sitting beside someone calling himself or herself a Catholic who does not know basic Catechism.
Thank you. Valtorta's Poem of the Man God also makes for interesting read. Like that of Emmerich and de Agreda. They are fodder to those seeking...
Rude, you say? If I am, then the Catholic catechism is also rude when it said: 67 Throughout the ages, there have been so-called "private"...
It makes no difference since the writings of Emmerich was one of the first visionaries that enthralled me and remains so. I was in fact glad that...
Reading those unapproved apparitions doesn't mean I embrace them. Sorry about Emmerich if approved, as if it makes any difference to me. But her...
As Catholics, we are to live our life each day as if it were our last. Preparing for the Second Coming is all about fidelity to your obligations...
Yes, you may need to know darkness to realize the wonders of light. Ugliness to recognize beauty. But I do not seek out darkness or ugliness....
Thank you. But I don't expect to save souls. Only Christ can save souls. The most I can do, or any Catholic under pain of sin, is to perform...
Sorry, I don't have that impression. The fact that their words fly in the face of the church stand on private revelations clearly shows they are...
Exactly, and that is why it is safer to wait for Church approval on these things before plunging head long into embracing them. The deception can...
Thank you. I myself do not verbalize my emotions and just prefer to show it.
"It is better to believe than not to believe" "This is from God." (referring to the messages) Indeed, these were the same assertions I received...
You are talking about a 3% exception. Of the 700+ apparitions since 1900, only 20+ have been approved. Hence, the chances of believing in a false...
Some of the most intense feelings of love are felt, not heard. I remember my mother ironing my school uniform everyday as a kid. She never said...
Here, if you know your catechism, it would not be difficult to "understand the stance of not believing in a church approved apparition." 67...
I don't need a revelation to tell me that God loves me. That's already quite clear from Catholic Church teachings. Even the writings of mystics...
Grave spiritual accusation? You believe in them right? So what is there to accuse? I already answered your question. I don't hold apparitions...
Just point to me my statement that says people here are basing their faith on revelations. What I am up against is people who put private...
You like putting words into my mouth? Where did I say that your faith is based on apparitions? I said and I say it again, you cannot and should...
http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/apparitions.htm No private revelation can ever be necessary for salvation, though its content may obviously...
It's one to thing to read about them, or visit the site for curiosity, it's another to put them on the same level as the deposit of faith. Like I...
And I will repeat it again and again for people who will insist on putting their faith on alleged private revelations that do not have Church...
For as long the messages do not contain doctrinal errors. Then again, how many catholics know how to detect these errors if they are not...
"In the private revelations approved by the Church — and therefore also in Fatima — this is the point: they help us to understand the signs of the...
Private revelations are a HELP, provided it is approved by the Church, "but which one is not obliged to use."
The Flemish theologian E. Dhanis, an eminent scholar in this field, states succinctly that ecclesiastical approval of a private revelation has...
The Catholic Faith does not need apparitions to affirm its authority. People may need to wake up with these messages. But only when approved by...
