As do I. In fact, numerous references have been given. But that doesn’t seem to matter to you, does it?I don’t have to know their minds - I know they stand by what the Church ACTUALLY teaches.
Thank you for your reply. I am glad to have those links which did not show up readily in a google search.Hi Adrift,
CatechismCode:Even though many of these revelations have been approved, we cannot and ought not give them the assent of divine faith, but only that of human faith, according to the dictates of prudence whenever these dictates enable us to decide that they are probable and worthy of pious credence.4
67 Throughout the ages, there have been so-called “private” revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church.
Christian faith cannot accept “revelations” that claim to surpass or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain non-Christian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such “revelations.”
I don’t care about the Akita Apparitions in themselves - I am looking for the backup for your others claims about the limits of not believing in any approved apparition and your most recent assertion about denying such things takes souls away from Jesus.As do I. In fact, numerous references have been given. But that doesn’t seem to matter to you, does it?
And I’ll ask (yet again). Why are you spending so much time and effort working against The Akita Apparitions? I’m curious as to what your motivation/agenda is.
