I was reading through some old posts and the writer stated:

There are only 12 ‘passages’ from Scripture which the Catholic Church has infallibly confirmed the principal prophecy.

Can someone confirm this? And if so could you please direct me to the 12 passages and their interpretations.

Thank you

I have never heard anything like this. I do not think the Church has infallibly confirmed any biblical prophecies (although I am not even sure what is meant by that).

I was reading some older posts and this was the one post I came across:
rcwitness said:
Is it true that there are only 12 ‘passages’ from Scripture which the Catholic Church has infallibly confirmed the principal prophecy?

That is very relative to the often over reaction some charge against the Church’s divine office of interpreter of Sacred Scripture. Much interpretation is left open to the Christian, so long these 12 are not contradicted. Also, personal interpretations (as in personal, or group, study with whom the Spirit’s guidence is sought), though are free to be believed, cannot be held over other Christians with authority.

I can try to find the 12 passages and their interpretations, if anyone really wants to know. Or maybe someone with them on hand could post?

It caught my attention and got me curious but it was his follow up post that made me want to post the question, he seems confident in the 12 verses so just wanted some more info:
rcwitness said:
The mentality of many Catholics seems to leave people with the impression that no one is given the gift of hearing God speak to them through the Scriptures. This puts a bad taste in the mouths of someone who takes up the written Word and is moved to conversion of heart and hungry to learn about the Lord.

Even in the 12 passages that were interpreted infallibly by the Church, the Church has acknowleged various meanings that can be seen in them.

CCC #133

The Church "forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful… to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ,’ by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. ‘Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.’ "

Thanks for any info I can get on this
 
I would suggest contacting rcwitness directly to see what he/she was referring to.

I have heard this before. I think even on CA radio. For instance John 6 is not open for interpretations that are contrary to defined dogma. There are few Scriptures that have been given an official interpretation. However, having said that just because something has not been infallibly defined does not mean the Church doesn’t read passages a certain way. And there are many dogmas and doctrines that use Scripture as support. So it is all intertwined.

I’m not sure about the number “12”

Here are two sites to check out:

catholicbible101.com/otpropheciesofjesus.htm

accordingtothescriptures.org/prophecy/353prophecies.html:)

God Bless you,

I don’t believe this. You really have to cite Church documents to support this rather than simply quote the comments of a poster.
