Site may even have closed down, but unfortunately life is still going on as always: https://www.facebook.com/JesusToMankind/posts/914125498618191 I hoped for an official explanation like: "we made fun of you the whole time, sorry for that", instead they'll now continue to spread the messages through Facebook and emails.
Its a MONEY maker...The GIGS not up as the saying goes ,unfortunately! Its ALWAYS BEST to wait on the Church to discern these matters
Just goes to show the amount of prayer and work needed to root something like that out. We must beware were the next attacks from the false prophet will come from and the next attacks on the Holy Father. Thanks to the Lord for this.
THE GIG IS UP ALREADY ! THE CHURCH HAS SPOKEN ! The Bishop of Dublin has spoken ! NO ! http://dublindiocese.ie/2014/04/15/statement-on-maria-divine-mercy/ STATEMENT OF ARCHDIOCESE OF DUBLIN ON THE ALLEGED VISIONARY “MARIA DIVINE MERCY” Requests for clarification have been coming to the Archdiocese of Dublin concerning the authenticity of alleged visions and messages received by a person who calls herself “Maria Divine Mercy” and who may live in the Archdiocese of Dublin. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin wishes to state that these messages and alleged visions have no ecclesiastical approval and many of the texts are in contradiction with Catholic theology. These messages should not be promoted or made use of within Catholic Church associations.
You are correct! I was injecting sarcasm only Glenn.I don't follow the apparition trail....I read some, but I wait for the Churchs' proclamation on these matters. Thanks for posting Archbishop Diarmuid Martin wishes !
Must be very hard to repair the damage done to thousands of souls who have heeded the messages and been mislead. A warning to anyone promoting unapproved messages ,(so often done here) Always make it very clear they do not have full Church approval. Its more than your own soul at stake. Unless your happy to risk others?
I think that is a bit harsh Mac. This is a place to discuss what is being spoken. You say promoting but I feel it is more discussing and discerning. God told us He would speak to us in the end times. If we are in the end times then He is speaking now and the church does not approve the "now". If we don't search, discuss and discern the now, then I feel we are offending God by not listening and searching for His chosen prophets speaking now and more importantly His chosen word. I am not one wanting to offend God in this matter. Lord knows I do enough of that on my own. Thank God for His mercy in the confessional. Acts 2: [16] But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel: [17] And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. [18] And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy. [19] And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke. [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.
Yes I agree Andy . My attitude here is harsh.The Church used to hold a much harsher view. The rules have been relaxed quite a lot in recent decades. To even read most of what we talk about today was forbidden. The Index used to be our guide...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum Lets take one example. I have an interest in Garabandal. It is a message worthy of our time. The Bishop has ruled there is nothing against the Faith. But should I promote it ? Should I tell people they will receive a warning before any chastisement? What if I am wrong? And people do not have a warning. What if my belief in the warning prevented me from correcting family members living in sin ,because I believed God would take care of it during the Warning. Would this failure be my fault or the Churches fault? The Church has not approved it ,so it certainly wouldnt be the Churches fault. Do you see where I am going?
The now or the eternal moment...God will reveal His true prophets. We are too quick to jump from this person to that person or this vision to that vision. God is sending prophets to us every day. But these ordinary saints are just doing ordinary things. I will be your prophet Pray, Fast and convert souls. That is the universal message. True prophets will lead you to the path. But its up to each one of us to follow the path and keep growing spiritually. As evil grows and grows, God will love His saints more and more (you and me). We are His final foot soldiers. If this is not the end of times...we are very close. But then again, in Gods time, it might be another 100 years. I saw mother teresa once, what i saw was a ordinary woman living in the divine moment. Everything she did was for the greater Glory of God. Washing plates, saying rosary, making beds, devotional prayers was all done for Our Lord Jesus Christ. While her exterior was plain and simple her interior was polished and grand. I just don't think its that hard for each and everyone of us to start the process. We are all called to be saints. The dificult part is taking that final step. Mother Teresa took the final step and didn't even know it. Maybe we should start looking within before we start looking to the world for that rockstar prophet. When God sends His final messengers they will speak straight and to the point. If we are in a state of grace...God will open our eyes to the truth. May Gods Will be Done

I am sorry this is condemned by the Church. I don;t want to delete this thread as there is too much on it. But no more defending Condemned Phenomena or I will I have to delete it. Things may be confused at the moment but they are not that confused. Please no promoting of Church-Condemned supposed, 'Locutions/Apparitions', on the Forum.
I am sorry for any offence, Padraig. I joined this forum more or less after the whole hoo ha surrounding MDM had died down I think, and am not too well versed with it. It just strikes me as strange that MDM's messages prophesied accurately the plot to oust Pope Benedict XVI and his resignation. Also that his successor would be suspect/ false prophet. And the official condemnation of MDM came from a priest aligned with PF's agenda - Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. DUBLIN ARCHDIOCESE AFFIRMS GAY RELATIONSHIPS https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/dublin-archdiocese-affirms-gay-relationships (excerpt) ....as archbishop, Martin has said much to suggest the inclusion of gay-affirming material was intentional. His episcopacy has been marked by statements — both in word and action — that speaks to where he stands. In his 2017 Holy Week and Easter Sunday homilies, Martin branded Catholicism a "religion of fear" and a "faith of prohibitions," denouncing the Church for its historic "harshness" towards the LGBT community. In the lead-up to the 2015 referendum that legalized so-called same-sex "marriage" in Ireland, Martin offered no guidance on how Catholics should vote. "I have ... no wish to stuff my religious views down other people's throats," he said. On the day same-sex "marriage" was voted in, Martin commented, "I appreciate how gay and lesbian men and women feel on this day. That they feel this is something that is enriching the way they live. I think it is a social revolution." Practicing homosexuals in the archdiocese of Dublin are encouraged to receive Holy Communion with the support of clergy and under Abp. Martin's purview. Every third Sunday of the month, the Avila Carmelite Retreat Centre in Dublin offers a special service — the "All Are Welcome Mass" — for active homosexuals, gay advocates and dissident groups opposed to Catholic teaching, every third Sunday of the month. Instead of warning those who are conscious of mortal sin to refrain from receiving Holy Communion, the venue extends an open invitation for all to receive without exception: "We would like you to feel that you belong in a praying community and to experience full participation when celebrating the Eucharist." Diarmuid Martin, archbishop of Dublin In November 2015, Abp. Martin declared during Mass that the Catholic Church must change with the times. "The Church is slow to change," he complained. "Inertia may seem to mean that things can go on as they were and are but the opposite is the case." Referring to the referendum that legalized gay "marriage" months before, Martin continued, "I spoke some time ago of a 'reality check' ... Times have changed in Irish society, and the Church must change." In May 2015, Martin advocated the enhancement of homosexual civil unions as an alternative to same-sex marriage. "We have to find ways in which gay and lesbian people can have their love fully recognized in an equal but different manner," he said. "We have to find ways of examining that, and I don't think we have done that far enough. I think civil partnership is not adequate, I think it could be tweaked." Martin has spoken out repeatedly against the Catholic focus on dogma. In early 2015, during a homily at an ordination Mass, he suggested, "We will not heal those whose lives have drifted from Jesus Christ by throwing books of dogma at them. That would only mean shouting at them in a language that they still have to learn." Doesn't anyone else think that his motives for MDM condemnation are suspect?
I don't know much about MDM SG because I shy away from most visionaries these days but at this point I think yes given the leadership inside the Church that suspect is a nice way of putting it. I personally find everything these men do suspect and they can not be trusted to uphold the Truth in any way.
