Condemned by the Holy Office.
It has come to the attention of this Supreme Congregation that certain ones are not lacking, even from among the ecclesiastic assemblage who, responses and decisions of this Holy Congregation itself having been disregarded, do proceed to discuss and examine through books, small works and articles edited in periodicals, whether signed or without a name, concerning the so-called Secret of La Salette, its diverse forms and its relevance to present and future times; and, this not only without permission of the Ordinaries, but, also against their ban.So that these abuses which oppose true piety and greatly wound ecclesiastical authority might be curbed, the same Sacred Congregation orders all the faithful of any region not to discuss or investigate under any pretext, neither through books, or little works or articles, whether signed or unsigned, or in any other way of any kind, about the mentioned subject. Whoever, indeed, violates this precept of the Holy Office, if they are priests, are deprived of all dignity and suspended by the local ordinary from hearing sacramental confessions and from offering Mass: and, if they are lay people, they are not permitted to the sacraments until they repent.
Moreover, let people be subject to the sanctions given both by Pope Leo XIII through the Constitution of the offices and responsibilities against those who publish books dealing with religious things without legitimate permission of superiors and by Urban VIII through the decree "Sanctissimus Dominus Noster" given on 13th March 1625 against those who publish asserted revelations without the permission of ordinaries. However, this decree does not forbid devotion towards the Blessed Virgin under the title of Reconciliatrix commonly of La Salette.
Given at Rome on 21st December, 1915.

"Moreover, let people be subject to the sanctions given both by Pope Leo XIII"
Pope Leo XIII himself had a vision of the devil pleading for an opportunity to put the Church on trial.
Such was the horror of this vision that he was moved to add the Leonine prayers to every Low Mass and compose numerous encyclicals on the importance of the rosary (and not the modernist illuminati version either).
Unfortunately the modernists have dropped the Leonine prayers, and perverted the very words of Consecration.
So much for being subject to the sanctions of Pope Leo XIII.
Why not be subject to Pope Pius XI and "Mortalium Animos" rather than defending the current pope's promotion of ecumania (indifferentism repackaged)?
Kindly stop posting this garbage! You do not contribute anything positive by posting things which are our of context or have been superceded.
That was written in 1915. In more recent times, namely the last 50 years, one is more at liberty to publish and read various private writing, texts of locutions, messages, prophecies, as the layman has been granted permission to do so, by the self same Holy Office (which does not exist anymore, in that form), and by the new Code of Canon Law (1983).
Knock, knock. It's 2004.......time to wake up and smell the coffee!!!
