If the church is approving of her visions then they are approving of spiritism which is expressly forbidden in the Bible.

How is this spiritism? Do you know anything about padre Pio?

So, you’re saying that God no longer sends us prophets. And wasn’t the Bible (The word of God) revealed to us through prophets?

Spiritism is communication initiated by mortals. These visions are initiated by the saints. That’s distinctly different from Spiritism. There is no summoning that occurs.

mysticism.

I’ve never heard of the word you use.

What about the other appearances that have been approved?

Fatima, Lourdes, Knock, Sallette?

What about others who had visions and have become saints? Padre Pio springs to my mind.
