On Private Revelations, again


I remind readers of the list on the right-hand side of this blog of many posts on the dangers of private revelations.

The preoccupation of this type of thing is growing among Catholics. This is a dangerous trend.

We are not required to believe private revelations, and we should only follow those which have been approved. Sometimes, a person is a Servant of God or Venerable for personal holiness, but the writings or visions are not approved.

Be careful. Get a good spiritual director. A Catholic must never persist in believing a condemned seer or  one warned about from the Vatican. This would not only be disobedience but pride, the Original Sin.

Do not lose your salvation because of a seer or visionary. Do not think that you know better than your local ordinary or Rome.
