Books on Angels?

Why are you puzzled? Private revelations are nothing until they are declared something.!

Wow, I think you must choose your words carefully. It sounds like you are saying that God’s initiative of sending us a message through Jesus’ Mother is*** nothing until it is declared something by men. I can understand, “worthy of belief” vs. “not worthy of belief”… but nothing*???

That Miracle of the Sun, performed by Our Creator in Fatima in order to give credibility to the message that *He was sending *through His Favorite daughter was far from being “nothing.” And He performed it before those 70,000 witnesses before it was approved by men.

God is a work even before we, men, discover that He is.

Just an observation

To Jesus through Mary

The only thing that puzzles me is why you won’t answer my question, or respond to my argument. You keep restating the same thing you said the first time.

What specifically do you want me to tell you.
People are foolish to readily believe in something before the Church has investigated. They immediately jump to the conclusion that some “event” is true unless proven false, instead of the other way round.
This causes major problems for the faithful and Medjugorie is the prime example.
The Church already made the decision that there is no evidence of any supernatural happenings in Medjugorie but people are refusing to accept the Church decision now because they got caught up in all the original hype.

Any Catholic looking for good private revelations to gain some spiritual benefit from should stick to the ones the Church has already deemed worthy of belief.

I agree stick with revelations approved by the Church as to not get led astray !!!

Yeah but the miracle of the sun was the miracle promised to show it’s real and it greatly helped in the Church approving the apparition. The Church is there to guide us lest we fall into error. Therefore why would you get hooked up in believing something the Church could deem to be false , therefore you have then been led astray.

I have already asked you twice.

Can you cite a Church document in support of your contention? Namely that the faithful may not give any credence to private revelations/messages unless they have already been approved.

I have already pointed out why I believe this idea to be problematic. You completely ignored my argument. Therefore I can’t accept your assertion unless you back it up with documentation.

Is there a Church document to say that the faithful must not believe anything before it is investigated by the Church. Of course not. That would be ridiculous. What the Church does is caution people not to jump to conclusions about alleged private revelations.
In short they are nothing until they are declared something.
Your argument is meaningless.

Stick to what the Church has already approved.

Your argument is meaningless.

Are you always so uncharitable in forum discussions?
