The Great Battle Has Begun- Kelly Bowring

[poinsettia]

With all due respect, Dr. Bowring, you put the cart before the horse.

One cannot and should not try to determine whether predictions are plausible until one takes the time to discern whether the seer and her apparitions are worthy of belief. The positive criteria require one to look at the seer herself:

1. Personal qualities of the subject or of the subjects (in particular, psychological equilibrium, honesty and rectitude of moral life, sincerity and habitual docility towards Ecclesiastical Authority, the capacity to return to a normal regimen of a life of faith, etc.);

1. As regards revelation: true theological and spiritual doctrine and immune from error;

1. Healthy devotion and abundant and constant spiritual fruit (for example, spirit of prayer, conversion, testimonies of charity, etc.).

One cannot make a determination while the seer remains anonymous. Now that we know that Maria Divine Mercy is Mary Carberry, we know that she does not meet the above criteria, so she cannot be approved.

From the negative criteria, we know for certain that both are true:

b) Doctrinal errors attributed to God himself, or to the Blessed Virgin Mary, or to some saint in their manifestations, taking into account however the possibility that the subject might have added, even unconsciously, purely human elements or some error of the natural order to an authentic supernatural revelation (cf. Saint Ignatius, Exercises, no. 336).

c) Evidence of a search for profit or gain strictly connected to the fact.

One only need to look at her “Seal of the living god,” her prayer (disseminate without ecclesial approval in violation of canon law!) for a plenary indulgence and total absolution for all religions, and her newest 7-day novena to know she has doctrinal errors attributed to God. And she’s a publisher!

So, whether or not her predictions prove to be accurate is irrelevant. She is not only not worthy of belief, but she is leading people away for the true faith, and you are helping her.
