Re: Catholics to keep quiet on Virgin visions (none / 0)

I love the way that the virgins message has to be checked to see whether it contravenes the churches teachings. I can just imagine that conversation.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

That's the part that really makes the whole thing surreal.

Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith

She's a chick. You need a penis to be able to do theology. Well known fact.

Re: Catholics to keep quiet on Virgin visions (none / 0)

I looked up the original article in Petrus. Seems that the Vatican is quite aware of modern technology:

In tal senso, chi è oggetto di accertamenti da parte dell'autorità ecclesiastica, sarà chiamato a consegnare alla Commissione insediata dalla Diocesi anche le apparecchiature informatiche in suo possesso, compresi i personal computer, per consentire di verificare se abbia mai effettuato ricerche in materia di apparizioni in Internet, uno strumento ricco di informazioni per chi volesse `copiare' o imparare da veri veggenti il senso teologico di messaggi celesti.

In that sense, a person who is under investigation by the
Church will also be expected to deliver to the Commission established by the Diocese all equipment in his possession, including personal computers, to make it possible to verify whether he has ever researched heavenly apparitions on the Internet, which is a rich source of information for those wishing to 'copy' or learn from true visionaries the meaning of celestial messages.
