[quote name='St. Benedict' post='1238722' date='Apr 11 2007, 12:57 PM']But the Church does approve of these reveleations. I, like Mel Gibson and other Catholics, will continue to believe in them.[/quote]


You can believe in them, but they are private revelations. Approval simply means they is nothing in them contrary to the faith. I have seem no docoment ever approving them.
And, as I pointed out, they were NOT comsidered at all when the Church agreed she should be elevated to "blessed".

I have read her biography "The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich". What struck me most was her connectedness and dependancy on Christ and his Mother. She endured horrific suffering, and countless demonic attacks, all the while constantly clinging to Christ. One line that strikes me most, is when she was feeling wanting more, Jesus said to her, "My grace is sufficient for thee".

I just thought that was awesome.
