Are there any modern day prophets that you have respect for?
Examples might be Doug sheets, or Kim kalament. Cindy jacobs. And others.

Do you have any prophetic people that you prefer?
 
Define “prophet”.

Oh, sorry. Didn’t see the examples. I don’t follow any non Catholic prophets.

I have two priests at my parish that do a pretty good job.👍
 
I am not aware of any true Prophets in this day and age. Holy people, fine, but Prophets? Legit PROPHETS? I don’t think they’re any around, but if they are, they are likely some hidden suffering saint we can’t know about.
 
A Christian would think that prophets would n
Be more common as moses said

Numbers 11-29? . the lord wished all his people were prophets.
 
Blessed Bishop Fulton Sheen would not consider himself a great prophet, but he did go before the U.S Congress and for warned the U.S Congress, that if? they pass a law which legalized abortion, the U.S society will begin to fall into decay, demoralizing lifestyles which exchange the Truth for a lie, and in so many years after the legalization of abortion, U.S society will not be recognizable.

The Blessed Bishop Fulton Sheen should be canonized a Saint, because his prediction of U.S society is right on track to his true predictions after the legalization of abortion was passed by the U.S Congress.

Today, Bishop Sheen’s predictions come to pass since the legalization of abortion in the U.S. The U.S society records mother’s cooking their babies in microwaves, Mother’s drowning or killing their children, son’s killing Fathers and Mothers, Drug abuse and addiction on the rise, mass senseless killings of innocent people, Transgender, Homosexual lifestyles legal and common, same sex marriages to name a few, all fall under exchanging a lie for the Truth.

I have much respect for the blessed Bishop Fulton Sheen.

Yes he was skilled at understanding the application of the gifts of the spirit
 
It seems to me, that although we all use words like “prophetic” fairly loosely, we do so wrongly. There are no modern day prophets. Prophesy was always a public revelation of God. The last prophet died when the last apostle (St John) died.

I have respect for many of the people mentioned on this thread. I consider none of them prophets. I would strongly suspect none of them every used the term to describe themselves, and would actually hate to hear it used as a description for themselves. If we respect them, follow their example, don’t call them prophets.
 
Nah. The term is used loosely because it was used loosely in scripture & by various Fathers of the Church.

‘Prophecy’ does not have any exact theological meaning in the CC, in the way that, for example, ‘sacerdotal’ does.

Prophecy is one of the gifts of the spirit talked about in Paul’s epistles, and it applies to any place & time.

It would be an unconventional way to describe somebody, but not necessarily “wrong”.

I’m not certain of the difference between a mystic and a prophet, but here is a site dedicated to Mystics of the Church.

On the site it defines mystic in this way:
  • From a traditional Christian perspective, the definition of a mystic would be a person who is especially chosen by God to receive mystical gifts and graces, which are freely given to the individual by the express Will of God, and not through any special merit or choice of the individual who receives them. In other words, a person does not choose to become a mystic or to receive mystical graces, but is chosen by God to accomplish a specific purpose within the Church, for the salvation of souls.
