To believe that there is a need for supernatural sitings of a dead woman who is most likely in heaven spending 100% of her time glorifying God is truly to question the completed work of Christ on the cross. Oh heavens, there's no need for these sightings, I agree. They're gifts, not dogma. The Church leaves it to us to accept or not accept, though She is free to officially recognize it. But then, it begs the question whether there was a need for Peter, John and Andrew to see a couple dead guys at the Transfiguration, since the savior was already in their midst.

Do RCs understand the difference between the revealed truth found in Scripture and various extra-biblical musings and "vain jangling" which actually detract from the glory of God?
