"Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the AntiChrist."
Our Lady of LaSalette** |
That quote from Melanie Calvat (not Our Lady!) is heretical, since it claims that the Apostolic See can err.
The so-called "Secret" was in fact placed on the Index of Forbidden Books. |
a) the "message" and/or "secret" of La Salette does NOT form an integral part of the Bishop's (and Church's) approval, and
b) that the "message" and/or "secret" (which has the BVM say that "Rome will lose the Faith...etc.") is an 1879 corruption of the recorded 1851 "message", and
c) that the corrupted 1879 "message" and/or "secret" has been condemned by the Church - culminating with being placed on the Index of Forbidden Books - the Imprimatur in 1879 of the Bishop of Lecce notwithstanding!
THE SACRED CONGREGATION OF THE INDEX

DECREE
<snip>And so let nobody of whatever rank or condition dare either to publish aforementioned works which have been condemned and proscribed in whatever place or whatever reason, or to read or retain published things under penalties indicated in the Index of Forbidden Books.

Thank you gbcdoj for supplying the information, facts, and the link as well.
FRiends, I think this DECREE serves as an important reminder regarding assertions and sources; the onus is on us to check out what is put up before pulling the
POST trigger, as well as during commentary review. An opinion question: what's the most sound approach to the fact that Imprimaturs can't be established for all that's on the web? FReegards.
You make a good point, but it should not be supposed that because one vision was mis-stated (who knows what the cause was) - that Marian devotion is not fundamental to our Holy Faith - it is the thing that most differentiates us from the Protestants - and that makes our Faith most pleasing to the most Holy Son of God - that we venerate His Holy Mother. Setting aside all of the perfidious noise from Protestants - it is clear that many Novus Catholics do not fully appreciate Mary's role in God's salvific plan - and undermine Her as the protestants do (specifically those in the Catholic Answers Club). She is dogmatically defined as Immaculate - if anyone can cast a stone at one so defined - or could understate the role of the only human so ordained - it really astonishes me coming from Catholic quarters.
