DECLARATION Since the abolition of Canon 1399 and 2318 of the former Canonical Code (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Acta Apostolicae Sedis, September 29, 1966), publications about new appearances, revelations, prophecies, miracles, etc., have been allowed to be distributed and read by the faithful without the express permission of the Church, providing they contain nothing which contravenes faith and morals. In the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, Vatican II, Chapter 12, the Council Fathers urged the faithful to be open and attentive to the ways in which the Holy Spirit continues to guide the Church, including private revelations. We can read: It is not only through the sacraments and the ministries of the Church that the Holy Spirit sanctifies and leads the people of God and enriches it with virtues, but, "allotting his gifts to everyone according as He wills" (1 Cor. 12, 11), He distributes special graces among the faithful of every rank... These charisms, whether they be the more outstanding or the more simple and widely diffused, are to be received with thanksgiving and consolation for they are perfectly suited to and useful for the needs of the Church... But judgment as to their genuinity and proper use belongs to those who are appointed leaders in the Church, to whose special competence it belongs, "not indeed to extinguish the Spirit, but to test all things and hold fast to that which is good" (1 Thess. 5, 19 & 20). Based on what precedes, we are bringing to your knowledge the messages contained on this site. The persons responsible for the organism in charge of the propagation of these messages wish to manifest unconditional submission to the final and official judgment of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church regarding any of the content contained within these messages.
