Private Revelation: Discerning with the Church

De: Dr. Mark Miravalle

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, has performed a true service to bishops, pastors, and theologians, and for the laity as well, in his reintroduction of the invaluable insights of Pope Benedict XIV contained in his classic treatment De Servorum Dei Beatificatione et de Beatorum Canonizatione concerning the proper norms for discerning reports of prophecy and private revelation. Dr. Miravalle has also complemented the classic Church tradition on private revelation with contemporary guidelines for the discernment of prophecy as provided for by the Congregation for the Doctrine of on Faith and other sound theological sources. For any pastor, theologian, or layperson who seeks to discern contemporary reported private revelations with the mind and the prudence with which the Church herself does so, this book should be a required foundation, a “must-read” for those seeking to make the Church’s balanced approach to private revelation their own. —Edouard Cardinal Gagnon, P.s.s.
