Silly Protestant! Since her assumption into heaven, sworn to by the Bishop of Jerusalem, she has appeared hundreds of times to encourage and to warn Christians. My statement was referring to locutions she gave to Father Stefano Gobbi, which were approved by the Church.

Were these words in line with Scripture?

From my research, nope.

In that case, I’m going to do what St. Paul says to do when even an angel from heaven makes a claim in opposition to the Word of God.

Dang!

One would think that the Book Rome assembled so long ago would be enough.

Oh??

Just WHAT am I losing?


All apparitions are considered private revelation because public revelation ended with the Apostles’ deaths (when the New Testament was completed). According to the Catechism,  private revelation doesn’t improve or complete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but it helps us live more fully by it in a certain period of history. (CCC 67)   The Church will confirm an apparition as worthy of belief as a private revelation but Catholics aren’t required to believe it.

Marian experts have estimated that as many as 21,000 Marian apparitions have been reported since the year 1000.  The Holy See has formally approved the apparitions at 12 sites out of 295 it has studied, according to Father Salvatore Perrella, O.S.M., an expert in dogma and Mariology from the Marianum Pontifical Institute in Rome.

"Since her assumption into heaven, sworn to by the Bishop of Jerusalem,

Never happened. Never taught or believed before 500s AD.

Please listen to your Pope.

Pope Benedict XVI (Ratzinger) writes...

"Before Mary's bodily Assumption into heaven was defined, all theological faculties in the world were consulted for their opinion. Our teachers' answer was emphatically negative...

Altaner, the patrologist from Wurzburg…had proven in a scientifically persuasive manner that the doctrine of Mary’s bodily Assumption into heaven was unknown before the 5 century; this doctrine, therefore, he argued, could not belong to the “apostolic tradition.

And this was his conclusion, which my teachers at Munich shared. - J. Ratzinger, Milestones (Ignatius, n.d.), 58-59. .
