The Garabandal walking backwards says A LOT! It has never gotten Bishop approval and again THAT says a lot. Medjugorje always talks about "the fruits", I came back to the Church after attending a banned apparition (of course I did not know it at that time), the fruit came from Heaven not the fake apparition. God will make good out of bad. I was ready and I was given Grace! Glory be to God!!
Thank you for talking about this. I have been thinking about it a lot, and it's good to know that more knowledgeable Catholics have the same views. The devil has so many ways of distracting us from the one thing most necessary: following our Lord, Jesus Christ.
The devil cannot supposedly show normal feet, annoy hide hooves? Which is why the Blessed Mother apparitions must show her feet in order to confirm this is not demonic in origin. (But now with AI who knows?) I get the reason for looking to signs after Miracle of the Sun and .withholding of 3rd secret and then Our Lady of Akita, which is approved And Eucharistic Miracles. No, you are right to alert us. I have personally heard of these missed deadlines interfering w former Catholics considering getting back the faith. It’s a fair warning bc there is so much out there. Jesus said to be sober and alert to deception, (but not to dismiss all).
I have people constantly shearing private revelations with me. One of the thing I’ve noticed is how much anxiety they cause even if the person flowing the private revelations would never say it’s given them anxiety. The only anxiety we should have is if we aren’t living in a state of grace, and as our priest always says loving The Lord in simplicity of heart.
its purposely written in hard language to make it look non Christian book. That way the writer is protecting himself from ending up like Malachy Martin and other people who were doing the same thing. And not eberything is in this first part - there will be three more sequels to this as I am told.
In the past, I've caught myself placing too much emphasis on private revelations. Now, any private revelation I pursue is always subordinate too Tradition. First, know what the Church has always taught. Second, use the approved private revelations to deepen that understanding and live the Faith.
@@Kevinakletva I was converted by private revelation. I agree with what has been said in this video. Something that astounds me is that the approved private revelations of Our Lady are all a clear affirmation of sacred scripture. Just one example, in Mexico when Our Lady gave her name to St. Juan Diego, she did not say Guadalupe, its understood now that the Spaniards did not understand Our Lady's name. Our Lady at Guadalupe said, "I am She who crushes the head of the serpent." I find that amazing.
Say the rosary every day. Spend time in prayer and meditation. Read the Bible. Spend time before the blessed sacrament. Love your family and your neighbor. The apparitions around us are worth paying attention to, but not at the expense of prayer, loving God, etc.
@@Kevinakletva I have no use for “information leaks”. I have my Bible and the traditional dogma of the Catholic Church. Quit using legitimate platforms to sell your book.
It was Our Lady of Fatima and St. Joseph who brought me back to the Faith. I am forever grateful to them for bringing me back to Christ. I personally don't believe in Medjugorje or Garabandal as being from God, but when I voice this respectfully I am usually verbally attacked by followers and told that I "must hate Our Lady", and this cuts to my heart because I love her so much. Just because I believe in the apparitions at Fatima, doesn't mean I hold it against anyone who doesn't believe. It would be nice if that respect could be reciprocated. Ave Maria.
I had numerous such unpleasant discussions with Medjugorie diabolical hoax followers and they're always aggressive , but we should always counter this cultists as they're a danger to the Church. I was called names, " excommunicated " and insulted by this cultists of Medjugorie and that just shows who they really are and what they really follow.
Agree with you! Garabandal, has a lot of issues, UNATURAL happenings and unanswered supposed prophecies. Medjogorie-I can personally say is evil! My mother has been there like 15 times since the 80’s and all my childhood I heard about it and was surrounded by it and it has brought nothing but BAD to our family. Recently my mom went with my sister and my niece who was NOT in a state of grace, they saw some diabolically possessed people, it caused my niece to jump up and over her mother to get away(not natural), since home she sees demons and they just put her on a pill for schizophrenia. I think she got some demonic attachment while there!!!
PS: and I'm always telling the Medjugorie cultists when they accuse me of " hating Our Lady " that it's not Her appearing there at all but a demonic entity.
I can not wait to hear what you have to say. Too many good and faithful Catholics follow false apparitions (Fatima is approved and true), but with Garabandal and Medjugorje there are so many errors, so is impossible to have come from Heaven. Why do so many catholic's keep looking for the "WOW" and fear in prophecy?
Because the Enemy has already started to come unto them, using these false apparitions as an entrance door. That's why they don't want to hear any proof against them.
It is terrifying. Fatima is real but Garabandal is not. Some priests have done excellent talks on Garabandal. That is why the church will not approve it. Pray for Conchita to know the truth before her passing, for her warning will not come sadly. The Devil is trying to undermine and mock Fatima thus, Mother Mary. God bless 🙏🏾💙📿
Your observations are accurate in that if anyone is chasing (for lack of a better word) messages "from heaven" that are not approved by the church instead of reading God's word, participating at Mass, Adoration, or praying the rosary daily, will easily be deceived. We were going through a period in our lives where we were frightened. Listening to some things gave us hope or a healthy, sobering fear to stay right with our Lord. Kennedy, you have made very good points to have us exam what it is we listen to? What is it we are are believing? Thank you for reminding us to think prudently for ourselves. God bless you, your marriage, and your family.
Kennedy, you are always spot on and I appreciate these podcasts and am grateful for all you do to help us to understand truth especially for us TLMers.
I am skeptical about Garanbadal & Medugorje, but I believe wholeheartedly in the message of Fatima, which overall is fasting, penance, making sacrifices for sinners and praying the rosary daily. Plus, Mary was correct about a second much worse world war, Russia spreading her errors, which included not only communism but divorce and rampant abortion. She was also right about offensive fashions: Just look at Hollywood. Look at the beach where most women are wearing bikinis (It’s like they’re walking around in a bra and panties to swim in. It’s disgusting and I am a woman!)
Thanks Kennedy for your reminders...it was a great help for me personally...to curtail and avoid being obsessed with Appirations and End times Prophesy.
This is actually an answer to prayer, as a new Catholic, I found being immersed in a world that entirely revolves around new, unapproved visionaries and apparitions along with outright unbiblical prophets very confusing and disconcerting, it took a lot of work and research to find my bearings. This podcast is extremely valuable and perfect for our time. Thank you.
At eighteen I had lost my grandfather. I was so in the morning and I asked God and blessed mother are you listening to my prayers please give me a sign I woke up to a beautiful lady standing by my bed glowing with stars around her hat on top of her head and I knew it was blessed mother but the funny thing is all I did was feel peace and fall asleep. My priest said it was a private Revelation afterwards when Pope John Paul died. I got poems I thought but they were more prayers I believe there are more people out there with personal Revelations that they do not tell everybody.
Very well said. Especially the bit about not spending time in prayer or mental meditation on scripture. I also hate how much it creates a doom-and-gloom vibe. A lot of the madgegurie (probbs butchering the spelling.) are very set on the ends time thing and thinking that they are among the saved and it's too late to pray for souls. Which isn't true. We should always be praying for conversion of souls !!
First of all thank you Kennedy. Love the orange shirt. Great to hear this message. It is extremely necessary. Good to see you speaking in person. It helps to solidify your message. Apparition chasing can become too easily a form of Idolatry which is sin. When we replace Jesus with anything or anyone, it is Idolatry. We can and should believe and honor Our Lady as The Mother of God and we can be very grateful for Church approved apparitions of Her sent by God for our encouragement and correction. But our eyes must always be focused on Christ first and foremost as He is revealed in Scripture and Tradition. As the Church becomes a battleground for heresy and confusion, we must look to what the Word of God teaches. Scripture is given to teach, train, extol and admonish. Too many chose to become ensnared by unapproved apparitions in order to avoid the call to interior prayer and to the ascetical discipline necessary to grow in the spiritual life. Sadly, many are attracted to apparitions of any kind like a magnet to a magic show. Dangerous for the soul.
What an inspiring and enlightening talk. Thank you, Mr. Hall. Your points are well taken. Your talk was very helpful to me, not that I have taken any huge interest in apparitions in general, but as a well-worded warning against such in future, and for good reason. Thank you! I hope your wife continues to recover. Bless you and your family.
It makes sense to me. Yes there are quite a few self proclaimed prophets on social media and sadly its pretty obvious its all about the money. I am only interested in those approved by the church.
Our Lady’s messages in all her apparitions is the same: Live good lives; quit offending God; pray the rosary; do penance for your sins and the sins of the world; pray for the conversion of sinners. These are the things we Must listen to and do, all of which lead us closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.
I believe in Garabandal for two reasons. 1. Many predictions came true from it. 2. It gives me comfort to know that there is a plan from heaven to fix the mess we are currently in. I feel no fear at all in it, and it has revived hope in me and inspired my wife to be more fervent in her faith
What predictions cam true?? There are SO many failed ones in Garabandal! Those seers even testified to faking ecstasies. Defeat modernism has a good video on this. Don't be deceived! It was condemned by the local bishop and Vatican at the time.
There has always been a plan. The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. He died on the cross to open the gates of Heaven to us. He told us that the gates of hell would not prevail. Why do you need apparitions to believe?
Thank you for very balanced advise on apparitions etc. I believe in most of the ones mentioned here but am no infallible and they don’t replace the sacraments nor the teaching of the Church
For Medjugorie has been one of distrust to me. I can see how the devil has messed with the Fatima messages but they have been repeated elsewhere. I am trying to remember that only the Father actually Knows the When.
Garabandal? Oh.. please Kennedy Hall.. Did you know that Garabandal's message support Vatican II? "Lady of Garabandal" said that Vatican II is a great council!
Great (grande) in Spanish means big. The second message of Garabandal clearly points out something had just gone very wrong in the Church in 1965 as the Big Council ended.
@@Pine_eagle_1985 So there was some INCONSISTENCY in the messages.. BTW, can you specify the Garabandal message that clearly said Vatican II had gone wrong....
The 'countdown' principal is unbiblical as 'no man knows' the time of these things; read Dr Miravalle's brief on Fr Rodriquez's prior "prophecies"' - they have all fallen flat; no Catholic should be promoting him. As for Daniel O'Connor, publishing long diatribes that supposedly came from an Archangel peppered with dubious theology, he is a Medjugorje devotee - enough said. "Whatsoever...prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind..." Deuteronomy 18:22. Kyrie eleison.
Kennedy, I think you're born in the wrong decade. If you're born in the golden age of the radio, I'm sure you'd be a star. Your voice tone is extremely pleasant to the ears and your content is, at the same time, profound and accessible.
What is really scary is that, only one person who supports Medjugorje, that I have had contact with, would (grudgingly) give credit to the Sacraments and the Glory to God for any conversions that happened at Medjugorje. If conversions happen there, it simply means that God is not bound by location. For those that seek Him with a sincere heart, conversions can and do happen anywhere. When I point out that Jesus is as near as the nearest tabernacle - and therefore Mary also by His side- they won't even respond. No, they have to get to Medjugorje again to get their fix. I have been attacked for my views. They say that I don't have Mary in my heart just because I don't believe an unapproved apparition.
Someone actually told me in some comments that I am not Catholic if I don't believe in medjugorje, I replied that there is no requirement as a Catholic to believe in any private revelations and that it is dangerous to judge others based on such views.
@@aussiemark01 That is how messed up their thinking is. They can no longer think logically for themselves. Sounds like a cult to me - a group of people that think that they have some secret understanding that we couldn't possibly understand unless we go there and "feel something ". VERY cult like behavior on their part. You are very Catholic - as you follow what The Church claims as authentic - or in the case of Medjugorje, not authentic. Claiming that we are not Catholic or don't love Mary because we don't believe this hoax is just their way of trying to get us to shut up. I will not shut up.
@@aussiemark01 You are absolutely correct. Pray for them. There are many questionable teachings from those seers. You don't even have to dive very deep to find them either
The little girls of Garabandal carried crucifixes and none of their messages were contrary to the Catholicism. They did some strange actions, like walking backwards, but they did this reciting the Rosary. The message about the priests, bishops, and cardinals was spot on.
That doesn't mean anything. There was a similar Spanish "mystic" in the middle ages just before the time of St Teresa of Avila and this fake "mystic" also received "communion" on the tongue which was mysteriously transported from the hands of the priest across to her. Everyone believed her to be legit until she was condemned and later admitted that she made a pact with the devil when she was a young shepherdess. The facts are that the Garabandal "apparitions" began with the kids committing a sin by stealing from their neighbor and some "prophecies" have already been proven false, like the "incorrupt" body of the priest who died but was later discovered to have completely decomposed.
Hello Mr. Kennedy, so that your knowledge about Garabandal is more complete, ask someone in Spain for a copy of the book "The Myth of Garabandal" by Rv. P. José Warsowky S.J ed Studium. where he narrates the 1st serious study of the Apparitions with sworn testimony of the visionaries and that now they have already changed. All the good Catholics on TH-cam have almost fallen into believing this Demonic Apparition. pity. Greetings
YOUR ANGLE ON THIS IS VERY APPROPRIATE BECAUSE ITS OUR SOUL THAT'S AT STAKE ! AND PEOPLE WANT TO BELIEVE ANYTHING BEFORE THEY EVEN REALLY HAVE STUDIED THEIR FAITH.
How many will lose the faith because of these false seers/apparitions, etc? I have family who were fooled by the mormon cult, realized it was a deception and left. Now compare my catholic faith in every way to it and reject the Church without any true discernment.
The Devil can never fully imitate God, the Principle of the Integral good will never be there. That's why Medjugorje is wrong, Mary doesn't drop her baby.
@Jack D... Spot on! Almost forgot that looney moment & explanation given by the "visionary," and it's Not even one of the >serious< reasons why Medjugorie IS false. Now, in all truth and fairness: great good+grace(s) have come to some people who went there OR even who just received the good parts of the "messages" into their lives. Literally, people have been converted-their lives changed utterly away from past sins in their lives. GOD is Not stingy. He genuinely reaches to people-even in suspect circumstances. Yet grace that's given to an individual person never means or proves that an alleged apparition is true. Kennedy is beyond right in saying that one's Faith and his/her practice of It >must Not be dependant on an apparition.< To the contrary, the more any practice, message or teaching has lasted through time (even many generations), AND >especially if it's attested to by miracles, credible witnesses AND legitimate authority/ies of the Church... then it shows up as truly from GOD. The gift of the Rosary IS such an example. † † BTW, the apparition of Our Lady of >Las Lajas< is heaven-sent proof of the Divine origin of the Dominican Rosary. Truly amazing, in the league with the Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe; at Las Lajas, an image >penetrating into solid rock< shows Mary handing the Rosary to St Dominic while the Infant Jesus hands the Cord to St Francis of Assisi. (Geologists have bored into the stone meter(s?) deep and found that the pigments ARE the stone, nothing merely on the surface. Scientifically, it's entirely inexplicable-NO other such example known in nature! Like the Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the image of Las Lajas >is a continuing miracle. Hello,...whether a person believes the details of the story + apparition of Las Lajas; whether one believes the miraculous healing attested to by multiple witnesses of a dead child brought back to life; besides all of that, bottom-line geological scientific reality is: >mother nature does Not go around fashioning pigmented stone into religious artwork depicting religious events. No way, no how! AND it's also >theologically< significant: in effect it >IS Deeper-than-engraved< in stone that GOD Willed the Rosary to be given to the Church and the faithful. *Bluntly said: anyone that demeans the value of the Rosary OR denies its heavenly origin, IS demeaning Our Lady and Our Lord OR calling them deceivers.* Personally, the craziest part of all this is that the whole thing is almost unknown even among Catholics. Essentially, GOD has used SOLID ROCK to prove the Divine origin of the mission both of St. Dominic and St Francis of Assisi; has used SOLID ROCK to confirm the veracity of two major events in Catholic-and world-history yet the whole thing's almost unheard of! Padre Pio said the Rosary is "the weapon!" St. Dominic pray for us. St. Francis of Assisi pray for us. Our Lady of Las Lajas pray for us. Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us.
Medjugorje has the biggest confessional in the world. Im sure its not from the devil😂 Furthermore when the apparitions began they sprinkled holy water on Mary if it wasnt her the apparition would have left. And one of my favourite priests fr. Reehil had his conversion in Medjugorje today hes an exorcist the devil doesnt fight himself as said in the gospel...
I think all of that comes from a lack of good priests teaching us. God’s people are thirsting for guidance. So they go to the Mother of God for guidance. I can totally understand that. Priests need to say what you just said to their congregation. Thank you and God Bless. Our Lady comes to Her children to guide them to Her Son. “Do as He Says”
Međugorje has brought many to church. They pray the Rosary. Many who have been sick have been healed by the grace of God there. Our Blesses Lady does many wonders. Look into the history of that area. The Virgin Mary helped shatter the hold of communism at the time. The Triune Lord is the one and only lord. You need to visit the area before you discern what the area brings.
Concerning apparitions, my view is: unless the apparition has been officially approved by the Church (and this also includes Medjugorge which has been on-going for 40 years), I leave them at arms length, until I am 100% sure. This has always been my view.
The sad thing about that attitude is that crises that could have been averted through prayer aren't. Our Lady of Kibeho appeared to dozens of people pleading for prayers to prevent rivers of blood in the region. The apparition was only approved by the local bishop after the Rwandan Genocide had occurred. Just something to consider. While the Church through her local bishops has the final say, God gave us intellects to analyze such situations for ourselves, and if we are well-formed and not prone to superstition, it is possible to participate in God's salvific work through prayer as directed by Our Lady in these apparitions. Edit - I am not endorsing Medjugorie or any other specific apparition. Reason and prudence is absolutely key to evaluating any supposed supernatural phenomenon.
You really make your point. Chasing private revelation is unhealthy to the faith, that's clear. God may deliver us from evil. Sometimes the messages help to clarify your view, but a discernment about holy sacraments, true doctrin and decent behaviour is much more important than knowing all revelations and judging everything.
Not sure what to think about Garbandal and Medjugorje but how do you explain the incredible conversions to Christ/Catholocism? One conversion from an abortion doctor seeing the BVM and putting his hand inside the wound of CHRIST and instantly converted. Can’t see how that is Satan trying to use good to confuse. There are countless stories that are documented like this.
Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to me twice. She was surrounded by gold. She covered the entire sun. The colors were not of this world. I saw her clearly like seeing a person standing in front of me. I felt peace like I had never felt before. I stared at her for a long time. Many times I stare at the sun. The sun does not burn my eyes. The sun would spin or move quickly from side to side. Some times the sun would shrink or grow.
I allow God to speak to me when he wants, where he wants. I don't expect anything. It's always a surprise and I am grateful. I don't feel a need to chase after apparition sites.
I'm skeptical of it. Seems like a fake news story as garabandal was condemned multiple times. Cardinal Seper, Prefect of the congregation For the Sacred Doctrine Of the Faith wrote this letter to Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans, Louisiana on April 21, 1970: "The Holy See share your perception about the manifest and increasing confusion due to the diffusion of this movement among the faithful and desires with this letter to clarify its position on the matter. This Sacred Congregation despite requests form various Bishops and faithful has *always refused* to define the supernatural character of the events of Garabandal. After the definitive negative judgment issued by the Curia of Santander this Sacred Congregation, after attentive examination of the proceedings forwarded to this office has often praised the prudence that characterized the method followed in the examination but has still decided to leave direct responsibility for the matter to the local Ordinary. The Holy see has always held that the conclusions and dispositions of the Bishop of Santander were sufficiently secure guidelines for the Christian people and indications for the Bishops to order to *dissuade people from participating in pilgrimages and other acts of devotion that are based on claims connected with or founded on the presumed apparitions and messages of Garabandal.* However promoters of the Garabandal movement have tried to minimize the decisions and the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Santander. THIS SACRED CONGREGATION WANTS IT TO BE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE BISHOP OF SANTANDER HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE THE ONLY ONE WITH COMPLETE JURISDICTION IN THIS MATTER AND THE HOLY SEE HAS NO INTENTION OF EXAMINING THIS QUESTION ANY FURTHER..." (Emphasis added)
More on this: On October 11, 1996 the new bishop, Jose Vilaplana, again placed his prohibition on the alleged apparitions and said it is final. "Some people have been coming directly to the Diocese of Santander (Spain) asking about the alleged apparitions of Garabandal and especially for the answer about the position of the hierarchy of the Church concerning these apparitions. I need to communicate that: All the bishops of the diocese since 1961 through 1970 agreed that there was *no supernatural validity for the apparitions.* In the month of December of 1977 Bishop Dal Val of Santander, in union with his predecessors, stated that in the six years of being bishop of Santander there were no new phenomena. ...The conclusion of the commission agreed with the findings of the previous bishops. That there was *no supernatural validity* to such apparitions. At the time of the conclusions of the study, in 1991, I was installed bishop in the diocese. So during my visit to Rome, as limina visit which happened in the same year, I presented to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith the study and I asked for pastoral direction concerning this case. On Nov. 28, 1992, the Congregation sent me an answer saying that after examining the documentation, there was no need for direct intervention (by the Vatican) to take away the jurisdiction of the ordinary bishop of Santander in this case. Such a right belongs to the ordinary. Previous declarations of the Holy See agree in this finding. In the same letter they suggested that if I find it necessary to publish a declaration, that *I reconfirm that there was no supernatural validity in the alleged apparitions, and this will make a unanimous position with my predecessors.* Given that the declarations of my predecessors who studied the case have been clear and unanimous, I don’t find it necessary to have a new public declaration that would raise notoriety about something which happened so long ago. However, I find it necessary to rewrite this report as a direct answer to the people who ask for direction concerning this question, which is now final: I agree with [and] I accept the decision of my predecessors and the direction of the Holy See. In reference to the Eucharistic celebration in Garabandal, following the decision of my predecessors, I ruled that Masses can be celebrated only in the parish church and there will be no references to the alleged apparitions and visiting priests who want to say Mass must have approval from the pastor, who has my authorization. It’s my wish that this information is helpful to you. My regards in Christ, Jose Vilaplana Bishop of Santander Oct. 11, 1996 (emphasis added). Never, has any apparition received so many condemnations as Garabandal. And yet, to this day, some of the finest priests and Catholic layman still hang on to this Satanic Vision and promote it.
One thing I really struggle with in Catholicism (which is what I profess) is superstition, even amongst approved apparitions. Like the first 5/9 Saturdays/Fridays devotions. It honestly seems like a get out of hell free card. The words of Our Lady are crystal clear, "do X Y amount of times and you get to heaven." This does not seem to me to be from God. Yes I know that it is Catholic Church approved, but come on. St. Theresa of the Rose says if you plant a certain flower and it blooms purple, you're supposed to be a priest, if it blooms red, a married man. So what the heck is the point of discernment?! I have a real hard time buying into these approved apparitions/visions. Like how were they approved?? There were prophecies from Lourdes and Fatima that demonstrably didn't come to fruition (although many did). Even if 90% came true and 10% false, that would mean that it is not from God - God does not give even 1% false prophecy. My trust in the Church has so much diminished I often catch myself wondering if this is the actual Church Christ started. Lord have mercy, I simply want the truth. No Catholic seems to have any answers to these either other than "well you don't need to believe in private revelations." But that still doesn't account for the craziness that is official Church approval of these saints/revelations. If I say a certain prayer a certain amount of times I get to skip purgatory and go to heaven? I am frustrated at this stuff and am venting it out here. It doesn't make sense to me.
What prayer do you speak of that allows you skip purgatory after having said it x number of times?? In regards to the first 5/9 Saturdays/Fridays devotions the promise is that Jesus or Mary will come "...with all the Graces necessary for Salvation..." when one's time comes. Or something to that effect. Your soul still has to be in a state to receive those Graces. That would mean, ideally, being in a state of Grace. I believe that a person could have committed grave sin or grave sins right before they die and still be in a disposition to receive these "necessary Graces", so long as they had been ardently practicing The Faith prior. However if you do these devotions and then run off leaving a debauched life, your attempt at mocking God will not help you during your last hour. The point of these devotional promises is about the obedience God wants from us. God wants man's obedience. When Heaven comes down to us and makes promises, the point is God is giving us a chance to break our self-will and do what He has asked us to do. He then pours out Graces through that channel of humility and obedience...Graces to save us in the case of the specific promises you mention. Yes, there are heavily superstitious devotions and private revelations out there, but they are usually not approved. If Private Revelations are making you stumble, then stay away from them. They are not necessary for Salvation. They are to help those who find them helpful. If you don't, stay away. I don't see why what Theresa of The Rose said should be a stumbling block to you. It is one Saint spouting her pious opinion...*shrugs* Finally in regards to prophetic messages of Marian Apparitions that don't come to pass. I do not know the specific prophesies you speak of, but Mary, in different Apparitions usually makes it abundantly clear that certain (usually catastrophic) prophecies can be avoided through Prayer, Penance and Sacrifice. Plus as far as I understand it, these Approved Apparitions are not a guarantee by the Church that there wasn't any demonic interference at all. That's not how these approvals work, as far as I understand.
@@thekingslady1 Visit to a Church or Oratory on All Souls Day. PLENARY INDULGENCE. A plenary indulgence, applicable ONLY to the souls in purgatory, may be obtained by those who, on All Souls Day, piously visit a church, public oratory, or for those entitled to use it, a semi-public oratory. A plenary indulgence removes all temporal punishment. This is just one example, but there are many that the Church prescribes to avoid purgatory. The supposed apparition of Our Lady to St. Simon -"Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire" - again, it clearly shows the Blessed Virgin saying clearly that wearing a brown scapular grants eternal salvation. She didn't mention anything about being in the state of Grace, going to confession regularly, etc. This vision was definitively approved by the Catholic Church. The fact that this was approved is what I have an issue with. I can't just pretend like these aren't granted approval by the Church. St. Paul said test EVERYTHING. That's what I am doing. "Even if an angel of God comes and tells you something different than the faith I have taught you, let him be anathema." I don't think I got that quote exactly right, but that is the essence of it. Also, Christ said "by their fruits you shall know them." I appreciate your response.
@@martymcfly4464 Alright Marty, I think your struggle is with The Church...trusting The Church....trusting that it is indeed Jesus Christ giving us these instructions and directives. This is evidenced by you quoting Scripture...when Scripture came from The Church! Indulgences are given to us by Christ through The Church to bring us back to a degree of or complete Baptismal Innocence or to help a specific loved one who has passed and is possibly in Purgatory or to help The Souls in Purgatory. It is Christ drawing from His own Infinite Treasury of merits and doling Graces out to help us. It is not "superstition". The Church has the power and right through The Keys given to Peter by Christ, to decree specific works and attach indulgences to it. The Church does what she is called to and supposed to do with its teaching on indulgences. A good way to understand indulgences is that it is prayer applied to a soul, be it your soul or a deceased soul, which brings about some degree of Baptismal Innocence or complete Baptismal Innocence. In regards to the Brown Scapular promise, again, the same Church that approved The Apparition has clarified to you that if you die with a Brown Scapular on, having lived a debauched life and not heeding to The Teachings of The Church, you may, due to the state of your soul, reject Mary when she comes to get you. The Church clarifies that the promise stands, she will come to get you out of the clutches of Satan, but that you might be the one who says no to her because of what is going on in your interior. Hence The Church says to continue to do everything one can to maintain one's soul in a status of Grace. Another way to look at this promise Mary made - and this is the way I lean more into looking at it - is that a person who disregards making every effort to live a Holy life will not be granted the Grace by God to die wearing it anyways. I have heard true stories of this happening where people with hard-hearts and peacocky pride take the Brown Scapular off, shortly before they die. God will not be mocked. It is very Protestant (a.k.a rebellious) to attempt to use Sacred Scripture to debunk anything The Church has said or has done. It is very short-sighted to do so.
What about Jesus's apparition to Margaret Mary regarding the consecration of France to the Sacred Heart? It was dis-regarded and led to the French Revolution!
Did it have a specific title ? because we all know about the Sacred Heart devotion. In fact, I say a prayer that is act of reparation to the Sacred Heart, every day. I started doing it last year in June and I just continued it past the month of June.
We don't want to be chasing apparitions or misguided priests out of itching ears curiosity but conversely, ignoring the prophets/private revelation would be to our peril. e.g. the Sacred Heart devotion, at Fatima (warning of WW2) the Divine Mercy, the Flame of Love, the Book of Heaven etc.
Nobody, but the Lord, is in a position to determine who will be save. He said so in the Gospel, if in doubt, remember the thief on the Cross, Not shotting the messanger, I am a subscriber, Orthodox with appreciation for the what used to be the Catholic Church
Kennedy, many thanks for your input here, but please note this: I write from Germany, where my focus at Holy Mass is on whether the sermon of the priest is conforming to the "Francis vision", at which point I leave, or an acceptably true rendition of the Scriptures. Your world is somewht different. You can migrate to traditional Mass celebrations, which I can only dream of. Thus I dream of a Redemption and I suspect that this may explain your point, "Chasing Apparitions". I do understand that apparition timescales are undefined but the content of the messages is undoubtedly true, as in apostasy at the highest levels. Look around.
Totally agree with your comments. I like looking at the different messages to see if it can improve my soul and better prepare me for heaven, but most of the time it'sa time waster. The main issue I have and I mean no offense, but people need to stop taking incomes off of TH-cam videos and go out and be productive members of society. We need Catholic business owners who are plumbers, electricians, store owners etc. To me that's a healthier way of life for creators of content and consumers of it. No offense, just an observation.
Out of a church. They walked backward out of the church so as to not turn their back on Our Lord. I've seen lovely devout Hispanics doing the same thing.
Garabandal was also during Vatican 2 which is interesting in that seems to be what divided the church and as far as I can tell the apparition of Mary mentioned it was a good thing it will bring people together. Which is wrong. I don't know what to make of it.
The 5 teachings of Medugorje for the past 40 years have been the same: Fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, Monthly confession, praying the rosary daily, reading scripture daily and going to daily Mass. If it's of the devil, then he has obviously swapped sides! I had a massive conversion when I went there, and as a TLM Catholic these days, I have met dozens of fellow parishioners who also have had conversions and miracles there. May God bless you all x
These are the teachings of the Catholic church anyway .....but Our Lady cannot lie and say there will be an era of peace and shortly after thousands are slaughtered and the country of Yugoslavia is split in 6 , the only war in europe since WW2 .
Kennedy, there is NOTHING in What our Lady said at Fatima, that contradicts Doctrine or Morals. If some of those who believe in Fatima have, as you assert, unorthodox beliefs, it is because they don't have a good grounding in Sacred Scripture or the Catechism of Trent
Yes, that was his point in the video - there are a number of people focusing solely on ancillary things like apparitions rather than on verifying their own understanding of the Faith. While the ancillary things may be good and true, they are not more important than our knowledge of and love for Our Lord.
Private apparitions are motivators not the essence of faith! They are important because human beings need to be motivated! Scripture does teach that God can speak through private revelations!
God bless. Position of the Catholic Church Four successive bishops of Santander have viewed the supernatural character of Garabandal as unfounded. The Bishop of Leiria-Fátima officially declared the visions of Fátima as “worthy of belief" in October 1930, officially permitting the belief of Our Lady of Fátima. Deuteronomy 18(DRB) 18:21. And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken? 18:22. Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear him.
I would like comment sometime about the Glory to God, it is translated into english as "world with out end" which is not how the Latin phrases it. How did it happen?
Just wanting to check _one_ little thing - if the FSSPX boycotts my writings, is it because they are considering it as doubtful or probably false private revelation? Because, I am an essayist. I am a content provider like you. If you had been providing content like this when you were celibate, and tried to get an editor (providing monetised youtubes is somewhat different) - and FSSPX had stamped you as a case of purported private revelation one had to be prudent about, so depriving you of readers - how would _you_ have liked the FSSPX in that case?
Fr. Gruner’s position was that Fatima was not private revelation. I can see saying that it’s not necessary to believe Garabandal or Mejegorie. But Fatima seems to be divine revelation rather than private. What is your rebuttal to Fr. Gruners argument?
This seems to directly contradict Catholic Dogma. ALL of revelation was given to the apostles (and their successors). There is nothing that we now know in terms of Divine Revelation that the apostles did not know. This is impossible. Nothing new can be revealed. Certainly, there can be private revelations and devotions that draw us closer to God, but nothing new can be Divinely Revealed.
@@martymcfly4464 I do not see any contradiction. The special role of Mary is part of Catholic Dogma. And, quoting Fr Gruner: “The Fifth Lateran Council, which took place around 1515, defined a solemn definition of the Catholic Church which says that the final interpretation of prophecy is left to the Pope of Rome. There are three kinds of authentic revelation recognized by the Church. They are: the public deposit of Divine Revelation contained in Sacred Scripture and Holy Tradition; private revelations; and public prophetic revelations. To not believe in the public deposit of Divine Revelation is a sin against the theological virtue of Faith.”
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan That's not what private vs public revelation is. The final public revelation was given to St John in the final book of the Bible, the Apocalypse.
Your “dear leader” visits Our Lady of Knock tomorrow- pray that he converts and doesn’t offend Our Mother by using his visit for a photo op and to push his heretical “non catholic “ views. 🙏🇮🇪☘️
Dear Kennedy I live in Fatima and try to put the message into practice and live my Carholic Faith. I agree entirely with what you have said I have become very weary of people sending me messages from all sorts of apparitions. We are meant to live by faith and even though we are living through very confusing times for the Church and the world we are meant to put our faith and trust in God and live in the present moment and live our consecration To the Immaculate heart of Mary I have come across Catholic who seem especially to have Medjugorge as their religion rather than the Catholic Faith. I am very grateful that you made this video Mary Shepley Fatima Portugal
@@wilecoyote2074 I’d rather he didn’t go at all and not risk offending Our Lady or using it as a photo op to politicise his non catholic views - re consecrate?? - with our woke clergy - they’d be more likely to build an altar for “unholy Joe” - the puppet of the globalists.
I agree - there are many deceptions that we must be mindful of- believe in our Catechism , say the rosary and leave the rest to Christ. He will come in God’s time.
@@martymcfly4464 alright I think it is somewhat dishonest to say "the rosary is a private revelation...so it is not necessary". The Rosary is a combination of several things rolled into one. It started out as a Prayer of The Church that was amped and boosted by a Private Revelation, continued to be prayed by The Church as it developed (along with Mary in Approved Apparitions heavily endorsing it), and now has all kinds of Papal approbations and encyclicals on it. This "the Rosary is a private revelation" stance sounds like a get-out-of-jail card.
@@thekingslady1 No. I pray the Rosary every day. I have been for about 3 years now. Not using it as a get out of jail card. Definitely most of the prayers in the Rosary were around before the private revelation to St. Dominic. Nevertheless, the Rosary as we pray it today wasn't prayed prior to the revelation (at least I can't find any record of it). I believe even in the early Church, the "hail full of Grace" was prayed at least once a day. Eastern Catholics who don't pray the Rosary even say that prayer. And then obviously the Our Father and Glory be was said multiple times throughout the day. I like the Rosary, I am simply pointing out that very holy Christians prior to this revelation did not pray the Rosary, therefore it is not necessary. I am not bashing the Rosary at all.
There are obvious Garabandal fails - the fact Mr Joey Lomangino did not have his sight restored being one. The whole point of prophecy and signs is to show God's hand at work. As well, there is no proof that Padre Pio had any authentic contact with one of the seers or had even heard of them. Tagged on is the current worldwide 'illumination of conscience' stuff, which is about as new age as it gets and about as un-Catholic as it gets.
Pope Franics: "The doctrinal questions obviously remain and until they are clarified, the Society has no canonical status in the Church, and its ministers cannot legitimately exercise any ministry." (Interview with La Croix, May 2016) Pope Benedict XVI, in a statement released by the Vatican in 2009, reaffirmed that the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has no canonical status within the Catholic Church. This means that the SSPX is not recognized as a legitimate part of the Church's hierarchy and its members cannot legitimately exercise ministry within the Church. -I have nothing against K.Hall personally. just fyi
I think that Fatima is the one true revelation because of the Miracle of the Sun that thousands witnessed. Also Lourdes and Our Lady of Guadalupe. Medajurue and Garbandal are not yet recognized by the Church. You can have many conversions but who’s to say that’s what the devil wants as it diverts pilgrims to the others and also causes divisions in the Church. Conversions can occur anywhere. So let’s keep the Churches view that no, we don’t have to believe in the personal ones.
Yes, we are apprehensive and expectant, "looking for signs from heaven". However, Jesus said that "no signs will be given it except the sign of Jonah". What did He mean? Matthew felt inspired to give interpretation of this `sign`: "The Son of Man will be three days and nights in the heart of the earth". However, I think Jesus' words in Luke's gospel are more typical: "As Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation", and He said this in respect of the Judgement "at the coming of the Kingdom of God" (Lk 17:20-37), which will be "like the days of Noah and of Sodom. As Jesus says, "it will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed ...from heaven" (see 2 Thess 1:7). So I think we ought all to "stay awake!" and to "be ready!". And the best way to do so is to cling closely to our Lord, to obey His words and the Apostle's teaching.
As an alter boy back in the early eighties. I was told by the priest to spit at the apparition disguised as holy. If I could spit at it, then I knew the apparition is evil. If I couldn’t spit at it, then I would know it is holy.
Private revelations is one way through which the Holy Spirit acts. John 16 12 “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
@@sleepystar1638 Kibeho and Akita are approved, both occurred after Fatima. The Vatican's approval of Fatima was an anomaly, usually such matters are left to the local bishop (usually). I'm confused as to where you're getting your idea that Fatima was Mary's last act of mercy toward humanity. Tre Fontani was also approved by the Vatican after WII.
@@anzot6903 well excuseeee meeee, I tend not to trust anything past 1958, because the popes officially endorse heresy. Akita the apparition said the devil would reach the summit. Nothing new. Forgive me. But do I really need Akita to tell me that? Isn’t it obvious?
What about Divine Mercy? I was all on-board until I saw Bro. Michael Dimond's video. I was also on-board with Garabandal, but that backwards walking . . . I don't know.

The Garabandal walking backwards says A LOT! It has never gotten Bishop approval and again THAT says a lot. Medjugorje always talks about "the fruits", I came back to the Church after attending a banned apparition (of course I did not know it at that time), the fruit came from Heaven not the fake apparition. God will make good out of bad. I was ready and I was given Grace! Glory be to God!!
The walking backwards is an indication the Church was going backwards ie, modernism and novus ordo
@@bpijne In approved apparitions, Our Lady is direct and succinct. There is no need for these esoteric interpretations in true apparitions.
@@bpijneOur Lady would never require children to walk backwards in such a weird manner, anything opposite or backwards is an indication of the devil
@@bpijne possessed people walk backwards
I have heard the explanation from the source that they were walking backwards as to not take there eyes off of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY. 🤷
Thank you for talking about this. I have been thinking about it a lot, and it's good to know that more knowledgeable Catholics have the same views. The devil has so many ways of distracting us from the one thing most necessary: following our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Follow "Đavolja noć" series by Adam Medvidović. Dont ask me why.
The devil cannot supposedly show normal feet, annoy hide hooves? Which is why the Blessed Mother apparitions must show her feet in order to confirm this is not demonic in origin. (But now with AI who knows?) I get the reason for looking to signs after Miracle of the Sun and .withholding of 3rd secret and then Our Lady of Akita, which is approved And Eucharistic Miracles. No, you are right to alert us. I have personally heard of these missed deadlines interfering w former Catholics considering getting back the faith. It’s a fair warning bc there is so much out there. Jesus said to be sober and alert to deception, (but not to dismiss all).
@@Kevinakletva what does that translate to,?
I have people constantly shearing private revelations with me. One of the thing I’ve noticed is how much anxiety they cause even if the person flowing the private revelations would never say it’s given them anxiety. The only anxiety we should have is if we aren’t living in a state of grace, and as our priest always says loving The Lord in simplicity of heart.
I agree 100%
its purposely written in hard language to make it look non Christian book. That way the writer is protecting himself from ending up like Malachy Martin and other people who were doing the same thing. And not eberything is in this first part - there will be three more sequels to this as I am told.
In the past, I've caught myself placing too much emphasis on private revelations. Now, any private revelation I pursue is always subordinate too Tradition. First, know what the Church has always taught. Second, use the approved private revelations to deepen that understanding and live the Faith.
Follow "Đavolja noć" series by Adam Medvidović. Dont ask me why.
@@Kevinakletva I was converted by private revelation. I agree with what has been said in this video. Something that astounds me is that the approved private revelations of Our Lady are all a clear affirmation of sacred scripture. Just one example, in Mexico when Our Lady gave her name to St. Juan Diego, she did not say Guadalupe, its understood now that the Spaniards did not understand Our Lady's name. Our Lady at Guadalupe said, "I am She who crushes the head of the serpent." I find that amazing.
Say the rosary every day. Spend time in prayer and meditation. Read the Bible. Spend time before the blessed sacrament. Love your family and your neighbor.
The apparitions around us are worth paying attention to, but not at the expense of prayer, loving God, etc.

It was Our Lady of Fatima and St. Joseph who brought me back to the Faith. I am forever grateful to them for bringing me back to Christ. I personally don't believe in Medjugorje or Garabandal as being from God, but when I voice this respectfully I am usually verbally attacked by followers and told that I "must hate Our Lady", and this cuts to my heart because I love her so much. Just because I believe in the apparitions at Fatima, doesn't mean I hold it against anyone who doesn't believe. It would be nice if that respect could be reciprocated. Ave Maria.
I had numerous such unpleasant discussions with Medjugorie diabolical hoax followers and they're always aggressive , but we should always counter this cultists as they're a danger to the Church. I was called names, " excommunicated " and insulted by this cultists of Medjugorie and that just shows who they really are and what they really follow.
Agree with you! Garabandal, has a lot of issues, UNATURAL happenings and unanswered supposed prophecies. Medjogorie-I can personally say is evil! My mother has been there like 15 times since the 80’s and all my childhood I heard about it and was surrounded by it and it has brought nothing but BAD to our family. Recently my mom went with my sister and my niece who was NOT in a state of grace, they saw some diabolically possessed people, it caused my niece to jump up and over her mother to get away(not natural), since home she sees demons and they just put her on a pill for schizophrenia. I think she got some demonic attachment while there!!!
My experience exactly. Thank you for sharing!
PS: and I'm always telling the Medjugorie cultists when they accuse me of " hating Our Lady " that it's not Her appearing there at all but a demonic entity.
I sure you were very respectful.
I can not wait to hear what you have to say. Too many good and faithful Catholics follow false apparitions (Fatima is approved and true), but with Garabandal and Medjugorje there are so many errors, so is impossible to have come from Heaven.
Why do so many catholic's keep looking for the "WOW" and fear in prophecy?
Because the Enemy has already started to come unto them, using these false apparitions as an entrance door. That's why they don't want to hear any proof against them.
@@AsturGalicia
Excellent point!
It is terrifying. Fatima is real but Garabandal is not. Some priests have done excellent talks on Garabandal. That is why the church will not approve it. Pray for Conchita to know the truth before her passing, for her warning will not come sadly. The Devil is trying to undermine and mock Fatima thus, Mother Mary. God bless 🙏🏾💙📿
Agree with you a million %
Please pray for me! I'm stuck in a place where there's no Latin Mass available, and NO mass is becoming modernist.
Is becoming modernist??!!!😂😂😂
@@margaretmary1139 yeah, and that's just my moderate thought. It's worse than modernist.
Your observations are accurate in that if anyone is chasing (for lack of a better word) messages "from heaven" that are not approved by the church instead of reading God's word, participating at Mass, Adoration, or praying the rosary daily, will easily be deceived.
We were going through a period in our lives where we were frightened. Listening to some things gave us hope or a healthy, sobering fear to stay right with our Lord.
Kennedy, you have made very good points to have us exam what it is we listen to? What is it we are are believing?
Thank you for reminding us to think prudently for ourselves.
God bless you, your marriage, and your family.
Amen, Kennedy. We are saved by how well we respond to Divine Grace, not how much we believe in apparitions.

This was an excellent podcast, Kennedy.
Kennedy, you are always spot on and I appreciate these podcasts and am grateful for all you do to help us to understand truth especially for us TLMers.
You are spot on….take all the unapproved apparitions with a grain of salt! Pray to our Lady of sorrows for wisdom, in these trying time’s.
Thank you for this gentle correction.
I am skeptical about Garanbadal & Medugorje, but I believe wholeheartedly in the message of Fatima, which overall is fasting, penance, making sacrifices for sinners and praying the rosary daily. Plus, Mary was correct about a second much worse world war, Russia spreading her errors, which included not only communism but divorce and rampant abortion. She was also right about offensive fashions: Just look at Hollywood. Look at the beach where most women are wearing bikinis (It’s like they’re walking around in a bra and panties to swim in. It’s disgusting and I am a woman!)
Let's FOCUS on the truly and totally APPROVED apparitions - of which there are SO many.
Thank you everybody for your contribution to this show. God Bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Kennedy for your reminders...it was a great help for me personally...to curtail and avoid being obsessed with Appirations and End times Prophesy.
This is actually an answer to prayer, as a new Catholic, I found being immersed in a world that entirely revolves around new, unapproved visionaries and apparitions along with outright unbiblical prophets very confusing and disconcerting, it took a lot of work and research to find my bearings. This podcast is extremely valuable and perfect for our time. Thank you.
I totally agree with everything you've just said. Thank you
Thank you for this important insight. Countdown to the Kingdom is still going strong with many Catholics. God Bless!
I thought this was very thoughtful and careful examination of apparitions and our involvement with them. Thank you
At eighteen I had lost my grandfather. I was so in the morning and I asked God and blessed mother are you listening to my prayers please give me a sign I woke up to a beautiful lady standing by my bed glowing with stars around her hat on top of her head and I knew it was blessed mother but the funny thing is all I did was feel peace and fall asleep. My priest said it was a private Revelation afterwards when Pope John Paul died. I got poems I thought but they were more prayers I believe there are more people out there with personal Revelations that they do not tell everybody.
Thank you for sharing, she sounds awsome x
Well said. I am in complete agreement. Thank you for your insights.😊
Very well said. Especially the bit about not spending time in prayer or mental meditation on scripture. I also hate how much it creates a doom-and-gloom vibe. A lot of the madgegurie (probbs butchering the spelling.) are very set on the ends time thing and thinking that they are among the saved and it's too late to pray for souls. Which isn't true. We should always be praying for conversion of souls !!
Catholics often cannot distinguish dogma from devotion
First of all thank you Kennedy. Love the orange shirt. Great to hear this message. It is extremely necessary. Good to see you speaking in person. It helps to solidify your message. Apparition chasing can become too easily a form of Idolatry which is sin. When we replace Jesus with anything or anyone, it is Idolatry. We can and should believe and honor Our Lady as The Mother of God and we can be very grateful for Church approved apparitions of Her sent by God for our encouragement and correction. But our eyes must always be focused on Christ first and foremost as He is revealed in Scripture and Tradition. As the Church becomes a battleground for heresy and confusion, we must look to what the Word of God teaches. Scripture is given to teach, train, extol and admonish. Too many chose to become ensnared by unapproved apparitions in order to avoid the call to interior prayer and to the ascetical discipline necessary to grow in the spiritual life. Sadly, many are attracted to apparitions of any kind like a magnet to a magic show. Dangerous for the soul.
Excellent, excellent topic. Not talked about enough.
Thank you for all you share may God Bless you and Mary keep you and your family always 🙏🏻
What an inspiring and enlightening talk. Thank you, Mr. Hall. Your points are well taken. Your talk was very helpful to me, not that I have taken any huge interest in apparitions in general, but as a well-worded warning against such in future, and for good reason. Thank you! I hope your wife continues to recover. Bless you and your family.
Thank you Kennedy I agree with your thoughts. Our Lord must be first and foremost in our lives.
Thank you Kennedy this has been on my mind as well.
I appreciate you making the point you have made I listen close I get it thank you
It makes sense to me. Yes there are quite a few self proclaimed prophets on social media and sadly its pretty obvious its all about the money. I am only interested in those approved by the church.
Well said brother.
Our Lady’s messages in all her apparitions is the same: Live good lives; quit offending God; pray the rosary; do penance for your sins and the sins of the world; pray for the conversion of sinners. These are the things we Must listen to and do, all of which lead us closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.

I believe in Garabandal for two reasons. 1. Many predictions came true from it. 2. It gives me comfort to know that there is a plan from heaven to fix the mess we are currently in. I feel no fear at all in it, and it has revived hope in me and inspired my wife to be more fervent in her faith
I don't need a private revelation to know God has a plan
Garabandal is not approved by the Church. 🌴
What predictions cam true?? There are SO many failed ones in Garabandal! Those seers even testified to faking ecstasies. Defeat modernism has a good video on this. Don't be deceived! It was condemned by the local bishop and Vatican at the time.
Amen!!!!
There has always been a plan. The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. He died on the cross to open the gates of Heaven to us. He told us that the gates of hell would not prevail.
Why do you need apparitions to believe?
Spot on. Thank you
I'm with Kennedy on this...
Thank you for very balanced advise on apparitions etc. I believe in most of the ones mentioned here but am no infallible and they don’t replace the sacraments nor the teaching of the Church
Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray the Rosary daily for her intentions.
For Medjugorie has been one of distrust to me. I can see how the devil has messed with the Fatima messages but they have been repeated elsewhere. I am trying to remember that only the Father actually Knows the When.
Dont forget the Divine Mercy image/movement! Also, this "Daughter of Divine Will" (Luisa Piccaretta) fad!
Both diabolical.
Garabandal? Oh.. please Kennedy Hall..
Did you know that Garabandal's message support Vatican II?
"Lady of Garabandal" said that Vatican II is a great council!
Great (grande) in Spanish means big. The second message of Garabandal clearly points out something had just gone very wrong in the Church in 1965 as the Big Council ended.
@@Pine_eagle_1985 So there was some INCONSISTENCY in the messages..
BTW, can you specify the Garabandal message that clearly said Vatican II had gone wrong....
😂 count down to the kingdom folks were seeking a sign and chasing that fake seer in Croatia who is possessed by the angel of light😵
The 'countdown' principal is unbiblical as 'no man knows' the time of these things; read Dr Miravalle's brief on Fr Rodriquez's prior "prophecies"' - they have all fallen flat; no Catholic should be promoting him. As for Daniel O'Connor, publishing long diatribes that supposedly came from an Archangel peppered with dubious theology, he is a Medjugorje devotee - enough said. "Whatsoever...prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind..."

Kennedy, I think you're born in the wrong decade. If you're born in the golden age of the radio, I'm sure you'd be a star. Your voice tone is extremely pleasant to the ears and your content is, at the same time, profound and accessible.
What is really scary is that, only one person who supports Medjugorje, that I have had contact with, would (grudgingly) give credit to the Sacraments and the Glory to God for any conversions that happened at Medjugorje. If conversions happen there, it simply means that God is not bound by location. For those that seek Him with a sincere heart, conversions can and do happen anywhere. When I point out that Jesus is as near as the nearest tabernacle - and therefore Mary also by His side- they won't even respond. No, they have to get to Medjugorje again to get their fix. I have been attacked for my views. They say that I don't have Mary in my heart just because I don't believe an unapproved apparition.
Stay strong in you convictions and pray for them. May God bless you
Someone actually told me in some comments that I am not Catholic if I don't believe in medjugorje, I replied that there is no requirement as a Catholic to believe in any private revelations and that it is dangerous to judge others based on such views.
@@aussiemark01
That is how messed up their thinking is. They can no longer think logically for themselves. Sounds like a cult to me - a group of people that think that they have some secret understanding that we couldn't possibly understand unless we go there and "feel something ". VERY cult like behavior on their part. You are very Catholic - as you follow what The Church claims as authentic - or in the case of Medjugorje, not authentic. Claiming that we are not Catholic or don't love Mary because we don't believe this hoax is just their way of trying to get us to shut up. I will not shut up.
@@aussiemark01 You are absolutely correct. Pray for them. There are many questionable teachings from those seers. You don't even have to dive very deep to find them either
The little girls of Garabandal carried crucifixes and none of their messages were contrary to the Catholicism. They did some strange actions, like walking backwards, but they did this reciting the Rosary. The message about the priests, bishops, and cardinals was spot on.
That doesn't mean anything. There was a similar Spanish "mystic" in the middle ages just before the time of St Teresa of Avila and this fake "mystic" also received "communion" on the tongue which was mysteriously transported from the hands of the priest across to her. Everyone believed her to be legit until she was condemned and later admitted that she made a pact with the devil when she was a young shepherdess.
The facts are that the Garabandal "apparitions" began with the kids committing a sin by stealing from their neighbor and some "prophecies" have already been proven false, like the "incorrupt" body of the priest who died but was later discovered to have completely decomposed.
This literally has nothing to do with whether the apparitions are true.

Hello Mr. Kennedy, so that your knowledge about Garabandal is more complete, ask someone in Spain for a copy of the book "The Myth of Garabandal" by Rv. P. José Warsowky S.J ed Studium. where he narrates the 1st serious study of the Apparitions with sworn testimony of the visionaries and that now they have already changed.

How many will lose the faith because of these false seers/apparitions, etc? I have family who were fooled by the mormon cult, realized it was a deception and left. Now compare my catholic faith in every way to it and reject the Church without any true discernment.
It does seem like people have more surety about certain private revelation than anything else, and that does kind of bother me.
The Devil can never fully imitate God, the Principle of the Integral good will never be there. That's why Medjugorje is wrong, Mary doesn't drop her baby.
And the Devil appears and says: ”Oops, I forgot muy costume". And comes back as Virgin Mary.That also happened in Medjugorje.😢
So it was medugorje where “Mary” almost dropped the baby Jesus? That’s one of the reasons I am skeptical
Can I ask where you got this information from, i would like to read up on it
@Jack D... Spot on! Almost forgot that looney moment & explanation given by the "visionary," and it's Not even one of the >serious< reasons why Medjugorie IS false.
Now, in all truth and fairness: great good+grace(s) have come to some people who went there OR even who just received the good parts of the "messages" into their lives. Literally, people have been converted-their lives changed utterly away from past sins in their lives. GOD is Not stingy. He genuinely reaches to people-even in suspect circumstances. Yet grace that's given to an individual person never means or proves that an alleged apparition is true.
Kennedy is beyond right in saying that one's Faith and his/her practice of It >must Not be dependant on an apparition.<
To the contrary, the more any practice, message or teaching has lasted through time (even many generations), AND >especially if it's attested to by miracles, credible witnesses AND legitimate authority/ies of the Church... then it shows up as truly from GOD. The gift of the Rosary IS such an example.
† †
BTW, the apparition of Our Lady of >Las Lajas< is heaven-sent proof of the Divine origin of the Dominican Rosary. Truly amazing, in the league with the Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe; at Las Lajas, an image >penetrating into solid rock< shows Mary handing the Rosary to St Dominic while the Infant Jesus hands the Cord to St Francis of Assisi. (Geologists have bored into the stone meter(s?) deep and found that the pigments ARE the stone, nothing merely on the surface. Scientifically, it's entirely inexplicable-NO other such example known in nature! Like the Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the image of Las Lajas >is a continuing miracle.
Hello,...whether a person believes the details of the story + apparition of Las Lajas; whether one believes the miraculous healing attested to by multiple witnesses of a dead child brought back to life; besides all of that, bottom-line geological scientific reality is: >mother nature does Not go around fashioning pigmented stone into religious artwork depicting religious events. No way, no how!
AND it's also >theologically< significant: in effect it >IS Deeper-than-engraved< in stone that GOD Willed the Rosary to be given to the Church and the faithful. *Bluntly said: anyone that demeans the value of the Rosary OR denies its heavenly origin, IS demeaning Our Lady and Our Lord OR calling them deceivers.*
Personally, the craziest part of all this is that the whole thing is almost unknown even among Catholics. Essentially, GOD has used SOLID ROCK to prove the Divine origin of the mission both of St. Dominic and St Francis of Assisi; has used SOLID ROCK to confirm the veracity of two major events in Catholic-and world-history yet the whole thing's almost unheard of!
Padre Pio said the Rosary is "the weapon!"
St. Dominic pray for us.
St. Francis of Assisi pray for us.
Our Lady of Las Lajas pray for us.
Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us.
Medjugorje has the biggest confessional in the world. Im sure its not from the devil😂
Furthermore when the apparitions began they sprinkled holy water on Mary if it wasnt her the apparition would have left. And one of my favourite priests fr. Reehil had his conversion in Medjugorje today hes an exorcist the devil doesnt fight himself as said in the gospel...
I think all of that comes from a lack of good priests teaching us. God’s people are thirsting for guidance. So they go to the Mother of God for guidance. I can totally understand that. Priests need to say what you just said to their congregation. Thank you and God Bless. Our Lady comes to Her children to guide them to Her Son. “Do as He Says”
Follow "Đavolja noć" series by Adam Medvidović. Dont ask me why.
Medjugorie is DEFINITELY TROUBLING! 👎
I've seen and heard of great fruits from people who experienced conversions and have gone back to the Church.
Međugorje has brought many to church. They pray the Rosary. Many who have been sick have been healed by the grace of God there. Our Blesses Lady does many wonders. Look into the history of that area. The Virgin Mary helped shatter the hold of communism at the time. The Triune Lord is the one and only lord. You need to visit the area before you discern what the area brings.
Garabandal Apparitions of Our Lady are TRUE!! IMO..🙏.
Bishops vs Bishops and Cardinals vs Cardinals was first revealed at Garabandal June 1965
No, it was first revealed at La Salette in 1846.
wrong ... see / study the legitimate
apparitions ...
It is safer to not believe in any and just hope that some may be true.
Concerning apparitions, my view is: unless the apparition has been officially approved by the Church (and this also includes Medjugorge which has been on-going for 40 years), I leave them at arms length, until I am 100% sure. This has always been my view.
The sad thing about that attitude is that crises that could have been averted through prayer aren't. Our Lady of Kibeho appeared to dozens of people pleading for prayers to prevent rivers of blood in the region. The apparition was only approved by the local bishop after the Rwandan Genocide had occurred. Just something to consider. While the Church through her local bishops has the final say, God gave us intellects to analyze such situations for ourselves, and if we are well-formed and not prone to superstition, it is possible to participate in God's salvific work through prayer as directed by Our Lady in these apparitions.
Edit - I am not endorsing Medjugorie or any other specific apparition. Reason and prudence is absolutely key to evaluating any supposed supernatural phenomenon.
You really make your point. Chasing private revelation is unhealthy to the faith, that's clear. God may deliver us from evil. Sometimes the messages help to clarify your view, but a discernment about holy sacraments, true doctrin and decent behaviour is much more important than knowing all revelations and judging everything.
Not sure what to think about Garbandal and Medjugorje but how do you explain the incredible conversions to Christ/Catholocism? One conversion from an abortion doctor seeing the BVM and putting his hand inside the wound of CHRIST and instantly converted. Can’t see how that is Satan trying to use good to confuse. There are countless stories that are documented like this.
Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to me twice. She was surrounded by gold. She covered the entire sun. The colors were not of this world. I saw her clearly like seeing a person standing in front of me. I felt peace like I had never felt before. I stared at her for a long time. Many times I stare at the sun. The sun does not burn my eyes. The sun would spin or move quickly from side to side. Some times the sun would shrink or grow.
I allow God to speak to me when he wants, where he wants. I don't expect anything. It's always a surprise and I am grateful. I don't feel a need to chase after apparition sites.
Kennedy, have you looked at the evidence, most especially the unsigned letter, being purported to allege Padre Pio’s endorsement of Garabandal?
He said at the beginning he's leaning towards supporting Garabandal.
@@anzot6903 I know.
I'm skeptical of it. Seems like a fake news story as garabandal was condemned multiple times.
Cardinal Seper, Prefect of the congregation For the Sacred Doctrine Of the Faith wrote this letter to Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans, Louisiana on April 21, 1970:
"The Holy See share your perception about the manifest and increasing confusion due to the diffusion of this movement among the faithful and desires with this letter to clarify its position on the matter.
This Sacred Congregation despite requests form various Bishops and faithful has *always refused* to define the supernatural character of the events of Garabandal. After the definitive negative judgment issued by the Curia of Santander this Sacred Congregation, after attentive examination of the proceedings forwarded to this office has often praised the prudence that characterized the method followed in the examination but has still decided to leave direct responsibility for the matter to the local Ordinary.
The Holy see has always held that the conclusions and dispositions of the Bishop of Santander were sufficiently secure guidelines for the Christian people and indications for the Bishops to order to *dissuade people from participating in pilgrimages and other acts of devotion that are based on claims connected with or founded on the presumed apparitions and messages of Garabandal.*
However promoters of the Garabandal movement have tried to minimize the decisions and the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Santander. THIS SACRED CONGREGATION WANTS IT TO BE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE BISHOP OF SANTANDER HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE THE ONLY ONE WITH COMPLETE JURISDICTION IN THIS MATTER AND THE HOLY SEE HAS NO INTENTION OF EXAMINING THIS QUESTION ANY FURTHER..." (Emphasis added)
More on this:
On October 11, 1996 the new bishop, Jose Vilaplana, again placed his prohibition on the alleged apparitions and said it is final.
"Some people have been coming directly to the Diocese of Santander (Spain) asking about the alleged apparitions of Garabandal and especially for the answer about the position of the hierarchy of the Church concerning these apparitions.
I need to communicate that:
All the bishops of the diocese since 1961 through 1970 agreed that there was *no supernatural validity for the apparitions.*
In the month of December of 1977 Bishop Dal Val of Santander, in union with his predecessors, stated that in the six years of being bishop of Santander there were no new phenomena.
...The conclusion of the commission agreed with the findings of the previous bishops. That there was *no supernatural validity* to such apparitions.
At the time of the conclusions of the study, in 1991, I was installed bishop in the diocese. So during my visit to Rome, as limina visit which happened in the same year, I presented to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith the study and I asked for pastoral direction concerning this case.
On Nov. 28, 1992, the Congregation sent me an answer saying that after examining the documentation, there was no need for direct intervention (by the Vatican) to take away the jurisdiction of the ordinary bishop of Santander in this case. Such a right belongs to the ordinary. Previous declarations of the Holy See agree in this finding. In the same letter they suggested that if I find it necessary to publish a declaration, that *I reconfirm that there was no supernatural validity in the alleged apparitions, and this will make a unanimous position with my predecessors.*
Given that the declarations of my predecessors who studied the case have been clear and unanimous, I don’t find it necessary to have a new public declaration that would raise notoriety about something which happened so long ago. However, I find it necessary to rewrite this report as a direct answer to the people who ask for direction concerning this question, which is now final: I agree with [and] I accept the decision of my predecessors and the direction of the Holy See.
In reference to the Eucharistic celebration in Garabandal, following the decision of my predecessors, I ruled that Masses can be celebrated only in the parish church and there will be no references to the alleged apparitions and visiting priests who want to say Mass must have approval from the pastor, who has my authorization. It’s my wish that this information is helpful to you.
My regards in Christ,
Jose Vilaplana
Bishop of Santander
Oct. 11, 1996 (emphasis added).
Never, has any apparition received so many condemnations as Garabandal. And yet, to this day, some of the finest priests and Catholic layman still hang on to this Satanic Vision and promote it.
Garabandal is so obviously a diabolical deception! And as such has been repeatedly condemned by the bishops.
One thing I really struggle with in Catholicism (which is what I profess) is superstition, even amongst approved apparitions. Like the first 5/9 Saturdays/Fridays devotions. It honestly seems like a get out of hell free card. The words of Our Lady are crystal clear, "do X Y amount of times and you get to heaven." This does not seem to me to be from God. Yes I know that it is Catholic Church approved, but come on. St. Theresa of the Rose says if you plant a certain flower and it blooms purple, you're supposed to be a priest, if it blooms red, a married man. So what the heck is the point of discernment?! I have a real hard time buying into these approved apparitions/visions. Like how were they approved?? There were prophecies from Lourdes and Fatima that demonstrably didn't come to fruition (although many did). Even if 90% came true and 10% false, that would mean that it is not from God - God does not give even 1% false prophecy. My trust in the Church has so much diminished I often catch myself wondering if this is the actual Church Christ started. Lord have mercy, I simply want the truth. No Catholic seems to have any answers to these either other than "well you don't need to believe in private revelations." But that still doesn't account for the craziness that is official Church approval of these saints/revelations. If I say a certain prayer a certain amount of times I get to skip purgatory and go to heaven? I am frustrated at this stuff and am venting it out here. It doesn't make sense to me.
What prayer do you speak of that allows you skip purgatory after having said it x number of times??
In regards to the first 5/9 Saturdays/Fridays devotions the promise is that Jesus or Mary will come "...with all the Graces necessary for Salvation..." when one's time comes. Or something to that effect. Your soul still has to be in a state to receive those Graces. That would mean, ideally, being in a state of Grace. I believe that a person could have committed grave sin or grave sins right before they die and still be in a disposition to receive these "necessary Graces", so long as they had been ardently practicing The Faith prior. However if you do these devotions and then run off leaving a debauched life, your attempt at mocking God will not help you during your last hour.
The point of these devotional promises is about the obedience God wants from us. God wants man's obedience. When Heaven comes down to us and makes promises, the point is God is giving us a chance to break our self-will and do what He has asked us to do. He then pours out Graces through that channel of humility and obedience...Graces to save us in the case of the specific promises you mention.
Yes, there are heavily superstitious devotions and private revelations out there, but they are usually not approved.
If Private Revelations are making you stumble, then stay away from them. They are not necessary for Salvation. They are to help those who find them helpful. If you don't, stay away.
I don't see why what Theresa of The Rose said should be a stumbling block to you. It is one Saint spouting her pious opinion...*shrugs*
Finally in regards to prophetic messages of Marian Apparitions that don't come to pass. I do not know the specific prophesies you speak of, but Mary, in different Apparitions usually makes it abundantly clear that certain (usually catastrophic) prophecies can be avoided through Prayer, Penance and Sacrifice. Plus as far as I understand it, these Approved Apparitions are not a guarantee by the Church that there wasn't any demonic interference at all. That's not how these approvals work, as far as I understand.
@@thekingslady1 Visit to a Church or Oratory on All Souls Day. PLENARY INDULGENCE. A plenary indulgence, applicable ONLY to the souls in purgatory, may be obtained by those who, on All Souls Day, piously visit a church, public oratory, or for those entitled to use it, a semi-public oratory. A plenary indulgence removes all temporal punishment. This is just one example, but there are many that the Church prescribes to avoid purgatory.
The supposed apparition of Our Lady to St. Simon -"Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire" - again, it clearly shows the Blessed Virgin saying clearly that wearing a brown scapular grants eternal salvation. She didn't mention anything about being in the state of Grace, going to confession regularly, etc. This vision was definitively approved by the Catholic Church. The fact that this was approved is what I have an issue with. I can't just pretend like these aren't granted approval by the Church.
St. Paul said test EVERYTHING. That's what I am doing. "Even if an angel of God comes and tells you something different than the faith I have taught you, let him be anathema." I don't think I got that quote exactly right, but that is the essence of it. Also, Christ said "by their fruits you shall know them."
I appreciate your response.
@@martymcfly4464 Alright Marty, I think your struggle is with The Church...trusting The Church....trusting that it is indeed Jesus Christ giving us these instructions and directives. This is evidenced by you quoting Scripture...when Scripture came from The Church!
Indulgences are given to us by Christ through The Church to bring us back to a degree of or complete Baptismal Innocence or to help a specific loved one who has passed and is possibly in Purgatory or to help The Souls in Purgatory. It is Christ drawing from His own Infinite Treasury of merits and doling Graces out to help us. It is not "superstition". The Church has the power and right through The Keys given to Peter by Christ, to decree specific works and attach indulgences to it. The Church does what she is called to and supposed to do with its teaching on indulgences.
A good way to understand indulgences is that it is prayer applied to a soul, be it your soul or a deceased soul, which brings about some degree of Baptismal Innocence or complete Baptismal Innocence.
In regards to the Brown Scapular promise, again, the same Church that approved The Apparition has clarified to you that if you die with a Brown Scapular on, having lived a debauched life and not heeding to The Teachings of The Church, you may, due to the state of your soul, reject Mary when she comes to get you. The Church clarifies that the promise stands, she will come to get you out of the clutches of Satan, but that you might be the one who says no to her because of what is going on in your interior. Hence The Church says to continue to do everything one can to maintain one's soul in a status of Grace.
Another way to look at this promise Mary made - and this is the way I lean more into looking at it - is that a person who disregards making every effort to live a Holy life will not be granted the Grace by God to die wearing it anyways. I have heard true stories of this happening where people with hard-hearts and peacocky pride take the Brown Scapular off, shortly before they die. God will not be mocked.
It is very Protestant (a.k.a rebellious) to attempt to use Sacred Scripture to debunk anything The Church has said or has done. It is very short-sighted to do so.
keep studying.
What about Jesus's apparition to Margaret Mary regarding the consecration of France to the Sacred Heart? It was dis-regarded and led to the French Revolution!
Did it have a specific title ? because we all know about the Sacred Heart devotion. In fact, I say a prayer that is act of reparation to the Sacred Heart, every day. I started doing it last year in June and I just continued it past the month of June.
not done as requested ...
Oooops ... off with his head.
SAD ... man's free will.
We don't want to be chasing apparitions or misguided priests out of itching ears curiosity but conversely, ignoring the prophets/private revelation would be to our peril. e.g. the Sacred Heart devotion, at Fatima (warning of WW2) the Divine Mercy, the Flame of Love, the Book of Heaven etc.
Nobody, but the Lord, is in a position to determine who will be save. He said so in the Gospel, if in doubt, remember the thief on the Cross, Not shotting the messanger, I am a subscriber, Orthodox with appreciation for the what used to be the Catholic Church
Kennedy, many thanks for your input here, but please note this:
I write from Germany, where my focus at Holy Mass is on whether the sermon of the priest is conforming to the "Francis vision", at which point I leave, or an acceptably true rendition of the Scriptures. Your world is somewht different. You can migrate to traditional Mass celebrations, which I can only dream of. Thus I dream of a Redemption and I suspect that this may explain your point, "Chasing Apparitions".
I do understand that apparition timescales are undefined but the content of the messages is undoubtedly true, as in apostasy at the highest levels.
Look around.
Totally agree with your comments. I like looking at the different messages to see if it can improve my soul and better prepare me for heaven, but most of the time it'sa time waster. The main issue I have and I mean no offense, but people need to stop taking incomes off of TH-cam videos and go out and be productive members of society. We need Catholic business owners who are plumbers, electricians, store owners etc. To me that's a healthier way of life for creators of content and consumers of it. No offense, just an observation.
Explain your views / Garabandal
It’s not from GOD. Walking backwards in the middle of the night is demonic and those contorted body positions are not from GOD.
The children at Garabandal walked backwards into a church and interrupted the Mass. That’s enough for me.
I agree, it’s from the devil. Look to Bernadette a seer that’s par excellence.
Out of a church. They walked backward out of the church so as to not turn their back on Our Lord. I've seen lovely devout Hispanics doing the same thing.
@@anzot6903 they acted like chickens with their heads chop off!😏
@@anzot6903 NO, they walked into the Church. They interrupted Mass. The priest told them not to do it again. This stuff is nothing but bizarre.
Garabandal was also during Vatican 2 which is interesting in that seems to be what divided the church and as far as I can tell the apparition of Mary mentioned it was a good thing it will bring people together. Which is wrong. I don't know what to make of it.
That is also the one thing that was said in garabandal that made me question the apparition. Vatican 2 bring good?
Garabandal was caused by devil's intent.
The 5 teachings of Medugorje for the past 40 years have been the same:
Fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, Monthly confession, praying the rosary daily, reading scripture daily and going to daily Mass.
If it's of the devil, then he has obviously swapped sides! I had a massive conversion when I went there, and as a TLM Catholic these days, I have met dozens of fellow parishioners who also have had conversions and miracles there. May God bless you all x
Medjugorie is a diabolical hoax perpetuated by shameless charlatans please stop promoting this lie.
These are the teachings of the Catholic church anyway .....but Our Lady cannot lie and say there will be an era of peace and shortly after thousands are slaughtered and the country of Yugoslavia is split in 6 , the only war in europe since WW2 .
Kennedy, there is NOTHING in What our Lady said at Fatima, that contradicts Doctrine or Morals. If some of those who believe in Fatima have, as you assert, unorthodox beliefs, it is because they don't have a good grounding in Sacred Scripture or the Catechism of Trent
Yes, that was his point in the video - there are a number of people focusing solely on ancillary things like apparitions rather than on verifying their own understanding of the Faith. While the ancillary things may be good and true, they are not more important than our knowledge of and love for Our Lord.
Private apparitions are motivators not the essence of faith! They are important because human beings need to be motivated! Scripture does teach that God can speak through private revelations!
Sadly I'm seeing some otherwise decent Catholic channels sliding down the fortune telling path feeding off the gullible
and keeping the cash flow coming.
God bless.
Position of the Catholic Church
Four successive bishops of Santander have
viewed the supernatural character of Garabandal
as unfounded.
The Bishop of Leiria-Fátima officially
declared the visions of Fátima as
“worthy of belief" in October 1930,
officially permitting the belief of Our
Lady of Fátima.
Deuteronomy 18(DRB)
18:21. And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?
18:22. Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear him.
can we have slightly less adverts? the first one started at 2 mins
Rock solid.
I would like comment sometime about the Glory to God, it is translated into english as "world with out end" which is not how the Latin phrases it. How did it happen?
What happened to the roses from Our Lady of Guadalupe
Good discussion, but the Apostle Paul's vision was a private revelation, which became part of scripture.
That is public revelation.
Just wanting to check _one_ little thing - if the FSSPX boycotts my writings, is it because they are considering it as doubtful or probably false private revelation?
Because, I am an essayist. I am a content provider like you.
If you had been providing content like this when you were celibate, and tried to get an editor (providing monetised youtubes is somewhat different) - and FSSPX had stamped you as a case of purported private revelation one had to be prudent about, so depriving you of readers - how would _you_ have liked the FSSPX in that case?
Fr. Gruner’s position was that Fatima was not private revelation. I can see saying that it’s not necessary to believe Garabandal or Mejegorie. But Fatima seems to be divine revelation rather than private. What is your rebuttal to Fr. Gruners argument?
Well, the miracle of the sun was Witnessed by thousands of people
At least 70,000!
This seems to directly contradict Catholic Dogma. ALL of revelation was given to the apostles (and their successors). There is nothing that we now know in terms of Divine Revelation that the apostles did not know. This is impossible. Nothing new can be revealed. Certainly, there can be private revelations and devotions that draw us closer to God, but nothing new can be Divinely Revealed.
@@martymcfly4464 I do not see any contradiction. The special role of Mary is part of Catholic Dogma. And, quoting Fr Gruner: “The Fifth Lateran Council, which took place around 1515, defined a solemn definition of the Catholic Church which says that the final interpretation of prophecy is left to the Pope of Rome. There are three kinds of authentic revelation recognized by the Church. They are: the public deposit of Divine Revelation contained in Sacred Scripture and Holy Tradition; private revelations; and public prophetic revelations. To not believe in the public deposit of Divine Revelation is a sin against the theological virtue of Faith.”
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan That's not what private vs public revelation is. The final public revelation was given to St John in the final book of the Bible, the Apocalypse.
Your “dear leader” visits Our Lady of Knock tomorrow- pray that he converts and doesn’t offend Our Mother by using his visit for a photo op and to push his heretical “non catholic “ views. 🙏🇮🇪☘️
Dear Kennedy
I live in Fatima and try to put the message into practice and live my Carholic Faith.
I agree entirely with what you have said
I have become very weary of people sending me messages from all sorts of apparitions.
We are meant to live by faith and even though we are living through very confusing times for the Church and the world we are meant to put our faith and trust in God and live in the present moment and live our consecration
To the Immaculate heart of Mary
I have come across Catholic who seem especially to have Medjugorge as their religion rather than the Catholic Faith.
I am very grateful that you made this video

@@wilecoyote2074 I’d rather he didn’t go at all and not risk offending Our Lady or using it as a photo op to politicise his non catholic views - re consecrate?? - with our woke clergy - they’d be more likely to build an altar for “unholy Joe” - the puppet of the globalists.
I agree - there are many deceptions that we must be mindful of- believe in our Catechism , say the rosary and leave the rest to Christ.
He will come in God’s time.
Cant even trust the Catechism anymore. Also, the rosary is a private revelation so that is not even necessary.
@@martymcfly4464 alright I think it is somewhat dishonest to say "the rosary is a private revelation...so it is not necessary". The Rosary is a combination of several things rolled into one. It started out as a Prayer of The Church that was amped and boosted by a Private Revelation, continued to be prayed by The Church as it developed (along with Mary in Approved Apparitions heavily endorsing it), and now has all kinds of Papal approbations and encyclicals on it.
This "the Rosary is a private revelation" stance sounds like a get-out-of-jail card.
@@thekingslady1 No. I pray the Rosary every day. I have been for about 3 years now. Not using it as a get out of jail card. Definitely most of the prayers in the Rosary were around before the private revelation to St. Dominic. Nevertheless, the Rosary as we pray it today wasn't prayed prior to the revelation (at least I can't find any record of it). I believe even in the early Church, the "hail full of Grace" was prayed at least once a day. Eastern Catholics who don't pray the Rosary even say that prayer. And then obviously the Our Father and Glory be was said multiple times throughout the day. I like the Rosary, I am simply pointing out that very holy Christians prior to this revelation did not pray the Rosary, therefore it is not necessary. I am not bashing the Rosary at all.
Seers admited they faked some of the visions of mary. Do more research on garabandal.
There are obvious Garabandal fails - the fact Mr Joey Lomangino did not have his sight restored being one. The whole point of prophecy and signs is to show God's hand at work. As well, there is no proof that Padre Pio had any authentic contact with one of the seers or had even heard of them. Tagged on is the current worldwide 'illumination of conscience' stuff, which is about as new age as it gets and about as un-Catholic as it gets.
MADJUGORIE,PLS.
Pope Franics: "The doctrinal questions obviously remain and until they are clarified, the Society has no canonical status in the Church, and its ministers cannot legitimately exercise any ministry." (Interview with La Croix, May 2016)
Pope Benedict XVI, in a statement released by the Vatican in 2009, reaffirmed that the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has no canonical status within the Catholic Church. This means that the SSPX is not recognized as a legitimate part of the Church's hierarchy and its members cannot legitimately exercise ministry within the Church.
-I have nothing against K.Hall personally. just fyi
everyone is a heretic anyways
I think that Fatima is the one true revelation because of the Miracle of the Sun that thousands witnessed. Also Lourdes and Our Lady of Guadalupe. Medajurue and Garbandal are not yet recognized by the Church. You can have many conversions but who’s to say that’s what the devil wants as it diverts pilgrims to the others and also causes divisions in the Church. Conversions can occur anywhere. So let’s keep the Churches view that no, we don’t have to believe in the personal ones.
They are converts into the false modernist "Catholic" Church. Satan is laughing.
Yes, we are apprehensive and expectant, "looking for signs from heaven". However, Jesus said that "no signs will be given it except the sign of Jonah". What did He mean? Matthew felt inspired to give interpretation of this `sign`: "The Son of Man will be three days and nights in the heart of the earth". However, I think Jesus' words in Luke's gospel are more typical: "As Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation", and He said this in respect of the Judgement "at the coming of the Kingdom of God" (Lk 17:20-37), which will be "like the days of Noah and of Sodom. As Jesus says, "it will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed ...from heaven" (see 2 Thess 1:7). So I think we ought all to "stay awake!" and to "be ready!". And the best way to do so is to cling closely to our Lord, to obey His words and the Apostle's teaching.
As an alter boy back in the early eighties. I was told by the priest to spit at the apparition disguised as holy. If I could spit at it, then I knew the apparition is evil. If I couldn’t spit at it, then I would know it is holy.
I would use holy water or blessed salt or both while praying spiritual warfare prayers to test if the spirit is from GOD.
Private revelations is one way through which the Holy Spirit acts. John 16 12 “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
I doubt Faustina
Fatima was the Last apparition
Faustina is Fake
@@sleepystar1638 Kibeho and Akita are approved, both occurred after Fatima. The Vatican's approval of Fatima was an anomaly, usually such matters are left to the local bishop (usually). I'm confused as to where you're getting your idea that Fatima was Mary's last act of mercy toward humanity.
Tre Fontani was also approved by the Vatican after WII.
@@anzot6903 well excuseeee meeee, I tend not to trust anything past 1958, because the popes officially endorse heresy. Akita the apparition said the devil would reach the summit. Nothing new. Forgive me. But do I really need Akita to tell me that? Isn’t it obvious?
@@sleepystar1638 God bless you and give you His peace.
for good reason.
What about Divine Mercy? I was all on-board until I saw Bro. Michael Dimond's video. I was also on-board with Garabandal, but that backwards walking . . . I don't know.
Divine Mercy is Inspired.
