When the bishops are wrong, we must appeal through the appropriate channels.

But we are nonetheless bound to obey the Church. And the Church has declared the visions inauthentic, and so it stands.

And it's not just a question of obedience -- the folks connected with Bayside are promulgating all sorts of nonsense, to-wit:

The "messages" and other related propaganda contain statements which, among other things, are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church, undermine the legitimate authority of bishops and councils and instill doubts in the minds of the faithful, for example, by claiming that, for years, an "imposter (sic) Pope" governed the Catholic Church in place of Paul VI.

I'm big on obedience, because I used to be an Episcopalian and I've seen where disobedience takes you.

All I did is buy some sacramentals from them and somehow I'm now disobedient to the Church? Thank God this is America, where we are free to believe at all.

According to their site, the Brooklyn Diocese never investigated them, so to be honest I don't know who is telling the truth--but that comes out with the passage of time anyway.

All that matters to me is that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. In the final analysis, we will be judged on how well we obeyed Him.
