I have a friend, a lovely woman and devout Catholic, who I am quite sure knows the faith. However, she has gone completely off the deep end when it comes to private revelations.

I think that's what Mr. Shea means.

Ditto. One of my neighbors was a revert who came back to the faith after visiting Medjugorje. She got caught up in the daily messages of the BVM and believed everything she read in various forums and emails about y2k. 7 years ago, she put her townhouse up for sale because she believed the BVM was telling her to go to Maryland.
