However, in approving private revelations, the Church is saying they are worthy of belief. In order for a private revelation to be approved, it must be thourougly investigated and nothing can be found in it that contradicts Church teaching. Not many have met the criteria for approval. The more well known ones are the Divine Mercy revelations to Saint Faustina, The Miraculous Medal revealed to Saint Catherine Laboure, Lourdes (St Bernadette), the revelations of the Sacred Heart to St Margaret Mary, and of course Fatima.<br />One significant point to consider is that all the recipients of these well-known major revelations are Saints, with the exception of Francisco Marto and Jacinta Marto, who are both Blesseds.<br />The significance of this is when a person is canonized, this is considered to be an infallible pronouncement by the Church. This then confirms the truthfulness of what has been revealed to these Holy Exemplars of the Faith, and that it in no way violates the teaching of the Church to believe in what has been revealed. <br /><br />Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809499822558662728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-28758963668356010132015-10-24T16:25:09.680-04:002015-10-24T16:25:09.680-04:00Father:

The point is whether those alleged private revelations are true.<br /><br />Are they?<br /><br />No one has to believe in the Fatima apparitions in order to be saved, but to call them false, however, is contrary to the truth.<br /><br />DJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028761850444888285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-59723349634389628752015-10-24T15:42:47.422-04:002015-10-24T15:42:47.422-04:00A Catholic is under no obligation whatsoever to be...A Catholic is under no obligation whatsoever to believe in private revelations even those put forward.

Allan J. McDonald said...You are over reacting...<i>Fr. Allan J. McDonald said...You are over reacting. This is overall positive while summarizing the rancor or polarization.</i><br /><br />Father, did the Blessed Virgin overreact when She spoke at Akita to Sister Sasagawa? Was She "overall positive"? Are we to consider those apparitions false?<br /><br /><br />"My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior." <br /> <br />After a short silence: <br /><br />"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests. <br /><br />"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres (other priests), churches and altars will be sacked, the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. <br /><br />"The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them. <br /><br />"With courage, speak to your superior. He will know how to encourage each one of you to pray and to accomplish works of reparation. <br /><br />"It is Bishop Ito, who directs your community." <br /> <br />And She smiled and then said: <br /><br />"You have still something to ask? Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice. From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior. <br /><br />"Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamites which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved." <br /><br />Was Father Gobbi a fake? I don't know, but I know for a fact that a lot of priests and even some bishops consider him authentic.<br /><br />From Father Gobbi:<br /><br />There comes out of the earth, by way of aid to the black beast which arises out of the sea, a beast which has two horns like those of a lamb… intimately connected to that of the priesthood… The beast with the two horns like a lamb indicates Freemasonry infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is to say, ecclesiastical Masonry, which has spread especially among the members of the hierarchy. This Masonic infiltration, in the interior of the Church, was already foretold to you by me at Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would enter in <b>even to the summit of the Church.</b> The task of ecclesiastical Masonry is that of destroying Christ and His Church, building a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church.<br /><br /><b>The Church will know the hour of its great apostasy. The man of iniquity will penetrate into its interior and will sit in the very Temple of God, while the remnant which will remain faithful will be subjected to the greatest trials and persecutions.</b><br /><br />The apostasy will be, as of then, generalized because almost all will follow the false christ and the false church. Then the door will be open for the appearance of the man or of the very person of the Antichrist!<br /><br /><br />I have no idea whether these alleged prophecies are authentic, but I do know that they're out there in public view for all to see. If what we're witnessing is not apostasy, I don't know what apostasy would look like.<br /><br />It sure looks like we're gearing up for the denouement.DJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028761850444888285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-6792370656042576072015-10-24T14:18:11.440-04:002015-10-24T14:18:11.440-04:00Like I said, you just wait.Like I said, you just wait.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-69951499165181762202015-10-24T14:14:36.783-04:002015-10-24T14:14:36.783-04:00You are over reacting.
