Semper Fi Catholic

Alleged miracles, mind you. That is what I wanted to hear! Your last post made it sound like you believe that she had some miracles under her belt but even her followers didn't buy it. Anyway, human don't do miracles; it is God that uses weak humans to do miracles through. Sorry about the misconcep...

Alleged miracles, mind you.

Her followers like denying her miracles, for some reason.

The Immaculate Conception Ineffabilis Deus 35 We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of t...

According to the apparitions of Our Lady of All Nations, there are four Marian dogmas. According to the Church, there are five Marian dogmas. The devotees of the apparition count as dogma not only explicit dogmatic definitions, such as the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, but also decrees of Ecum...

The same goes for Catholics who propagate devotions not according to the teachings of the Church but according to their feelings and interpretations of private revelations, or even according to the erroneous teachings of false prophets and false teachers. For example, those poor souls who spread the...

Hi Kevin

I apologize for my rash judgment to you, to Donal and to Denise.

God bless!

I hope that, at least in Heaven, she, like other visionaries, are loved for more than just being the recipients of private revelations but being holy Christians.

Some Catholics are able to tell the voice of Christ and His Saints from phony revelations. Jesus has a distinct way of speaking: He is fatherly, gentle yet strong, majestic yet sorrowful, divine and human - in short, His manner of speaking bespeaks of His Perfection and Character. Mary has a distinc...

Er...Donal, not Dolan.

Stupid Aspergers.

Thanks Kevin!

I asked Dolan what he meant by "priority" when he said, in reply to my comment, "Our Lady asked us to pray the rosary every day at Fatima, so I think that is a priority now." No reply yet to my question. Not that I deserve an answer, since I have been gall, but, I hope Dolan is not as obsessive as I...

No, Donal is not saying that the Rosary is needed for salvation. You should ask him if in fact that is what he is saying and he will tell you no. When my spiritual director was alive (he was a great theologian) a Baptist preacher asked me to explain why we prayed the Rosary at funerals. After a lon...

A good summary of the theology of private revelation! As I said, I believe Donal is obsessed with Fatima. I see it among some Fatima devotees, who claim the Rosary is needed for salvation - as if somehow God is limited by popular piety. But no private revelation is a priority in the Christian life. ...

"Nick, I wouldn't call it obsessed; I would call it his Apostolate. God is probably smiling down on Donal because he is propagating the Rosary, which is the birth, life, and death of the Lord, Jesus Christ. I think he is a wonderful person and serves the Lord with his gift of discernment, fact find...
