p.s. There's one new from you. I can post the video, Mother Angelica

A Spanish priest at the time of the apparitions who was shown the "Great Miracle", which is prophesied to happen within a year after the Great Warning. The priest was in awe~! The young priest died of happiness on the spot.

Where did you source your information that the priest "died on the spot?" The source testimonies I have read do not support such a statement?

As for this 'Maria Divine Mercy' person .... .... I think I'll give myself the stage name Jacinta Pio and I'll regurgitate old 'prophecies' all the while linking myself to Fatima (Jacinta) and St. Padre Pio (Pio) ... and at the same time claim that Jesus is giving me messages that anyone who opposes me is really opposing him and subject to hellfire.
I'm sure I could start a following very quickly ... just as this Maria Divine Mercy (stage name) has done.

Regarding the "Church's" pronouncement on Garabandal may I offer the original Spanish documents here:
www.unitypublishing.com...
And an English translation here:
www.ewtn.com...
The problem seems to be resolved when church diplomatic talk in this area is understood and the Spanish is translated correctly. It appears the local Bishop (who is the highest authority we are talking about here as the Vatican itself has never pronounced but reserves the right to do so in the future) may use one of three conclusions when judging such alleged apparitions:
(1) estblished as not supernatural (ie definitely not)
(2) established as supernatural (ie defintely is)
(3) not established as supernatural (i.e. not enough evidence to assert definitely supernatural)
It seems Garabandal currently falls into the third category meaning the jury is still out on this one.

That's presumptuous and in error. You can not say 'yet to be approved'. They've been disapproved three times and there is no indication that they will ever be approved. The term 'yet to be approved' is misleading and simply wrong.
Sorry Colbe .. ya' know I like ya' and all ... but you are just wrong on this.

Garabandal like Conyers and Medjugorje cannot be properly investigated until the divine events prophesied have taken place.
trying to change your heart,
Responsibility of the Faithful. Today there are a myriad of alleged private revelations and apparitions vying for the attention of the faithful. None have been definitively judged by the Holy See, some have been approved by local authority (e.g. Akita, Cuapa, Betania), others have been found lacking in supernaturality (e.g. Medjugorje, Garabandal), some few have been condemned (e.g. Necedah, Bayside) and finally, the vast majority have received no attention from Church authorities whatsoever.
The first responsibility of the faithful is to remain firmly established in the faith, in the sacraments and in communion with the Pope and bishops. Any Catholic who gives their primary attention to alleged private revelation at the expense of Sacred Scripture, the teaching of the Church (especially the Catechism), sacramental practice, prayer and fidelity to Church authority is off course. The running after spiritual phenomena, such as alleged revelations, is condemned by St. John of the Cross as spiritual avarice. This means that pious souls who would be repulsed by crude materialistic greed think nothing of being greedy to know revelations and prophecies. An exclusive, or even a predominant attention to these matters (especially apocalyptic ones), cannot help but produce an unbalanced spirituality. Should the Church condemn some favorite alleged revelation such a person may find themselves believing more in it than in the supernatural authority of the Church. The devil will have succeeded in what he had set out to do.

Garabandal .. Conyers ... Emmitsburg ... all unbalanced apocalyptic 'messages'.
To Catholics - Don't believe more in the alleged visions than in the supernatural authority of the Church.
Otherwise, the devil will have succeeded in what he had set out to do ...

My words on this subject of Garabandal have come straight from the Church.
The 'fruit' of my words - words that are faithful to the Holy See on this matter.
The 'fruit' of your words, colbe - disobedience to the Holy See on this matter.
"The devil" cannot bring about a good.
The devil can appear as an angel of light and falsify all sorts of things - 'the smell of roses', supernatural strength in people, speaking in 'tongues', false apparitions, spiritual pride in people who think they are somehow holier or specially chosen, false signs, etc. According to the Catholic Church, the devil seduces people with false 'apparitions', with half truths interwoven with believable lies in the 'messages', and then leads them away from the Church .. much as you, colbe, have been led away from the magisterium.
Garabandal ... 'not of supernatural origin' ... so says the Catholic Church three times.
Garabandal ... hoax admitted to by the 'seers'.

I think you are jealous. I've been places you haven't been.

You aren't reading. Try again.
1991 - MEDJUGORJE - No decision by the church. I think it's authentic.
1993 or so - CONYERS - went to check it out. Thought it was a hoax.
1994 - BETANIA - Church approved. I approve.
And I never said I went to Garabandal. It's disaprpoved. I wouldn't bother.
Oh .. and yes I've been to Emmitsburg. It's right near Gettysburg which isn't far from us.
Didn't bother going to the 'apparition' there. The Bishop says it's unauthentic. I totally agree.
Your attack upon the places I've been is off topic.
I have posted the information about Garabandal straight from
the Catholic Church. You can't argue with it without arguing with the Church.
Is that what you want to do Colbe, argue with the Church.
(That'd make you protestant ... Congratulations)
Bottom line - The Church has the authority to reject any apparition at any time. It has
THREE TIMES rejected Garabandal saying it isn't supernatural. The 'visionaries'
admitted the hoax. THE END.

You are caught. You've been rejecting prophecy as I read it since 2004. But somehow, today, you're telling
me and never mentioned before, you've been to all these places.
Why are you posting you want to return to Medjugore when you just personally condemned it?
