Dr. Michael Kaszowski r. Kaszowski has taught dogmatic theology at THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND OTHER CHURCHES the Archdiocesan Seminary of Katowice, Poland forF the past 20 years.

In Council, that the Catholic Church might be equated effect, her mission to unify the Church of Christ, torn to the largest library; the Orthodox Church as being by schisms, appears as her principal task, as is most a bit smaller, and the other churches as still smaller clearly delineated in the Messages. libraries. However, a short time ago, Vassula Rydén was Similarly, the churches, as is the case with the libraries, reproached for allegedly proclaiming a false are not equal because they do not always possess all ecumenism that is rejected by the Catholic Church. the means of salvation given by Christ. Nonetheless, For this reason, it is worthwhile to compare her the members of all religions are equal in that they are teachings with those of the Second Vatican Council, all persons created by God. It is somewhat similar because the latter lays out the doctrine on unity which with the libraries: although even in the smallest, one must be accepted by all Catholics. can find precious books, the libraries themselves are not equal by reason of the quantity of volumes I. WHERE IS THE TRUE CHURCH TO that each possesses. Nonetheless, the people who BE FOUND? borrow the books from the libraries are all equal from the standpoint of their human dignity. Thus, the The Second Vatican Council, which sought to Council expresses, on the one hand, its conviction accelerate the process of unifying the Church, had that the Church of Christ subsists in its fullness in to first of all resolve a problem which is at the same the Catholic Church. On the other hand, the Council time important and difficult. That is, how to define perceives and appreciates the numerous elements of the relationship between the One Church founded by sanctification and truth which belong uniquely to the Jesus Christ and the many churches which exist today.

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST AND THE MANY CHURCHES WHAT COMES FROM CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT SANCTIFIES AND savES In order to respond to this difficult situation, the Council avails itself of the notion of the Church of The Council declares that all the elements of Christ which subsists in the Catholic, Orthodox and sanctification and of truth, including those found Protestant Churches. Thus, the Council explains: outside the Catholic Church insofar as they come from Christ and the Holy Spirit, lead to sanctification and "This Church, constituted and organized as a society to salvation. In fact, the decree Unitatis redintegratio, in the present world, subsists in the Catholic Church, 3 explains: "Moreover some, even very many, of the which was governed by the successor of Peter and by most significant elements and endowments which the bishops in communion with him. Nevertheless, together go to build up and give life to the Church many elements of sanctification and of truth are itself, can exist outside the visible boundaries of the found outside its visible confines.

    NOVEMBER 25/DECEMBER 8/12, 2012 Vassula Ryden: Problems with Rome, Bishops worldwide and her own Orthodox Church, but welcome in India Vassula Ryden is a controversial Greek-Orthodox "seer" who claims to receive written messages from God. The intention of this alert is to provide reliable information to the Bishops, heads of retreat centers, lay leaders in ministry, and the Catholic laity at large in the Indian Church about the status of acceptance by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches of the Greek Orthodox "seer" named Vassula Ryden and her "messages". This alert will gradually be developed into a more-detailed report* which can be viewed under the same title at the "REPORTS" section of this ministry’s web site. Interested readers are requested to check our web site periodically for updates and new articles. *This report was updated on December 8, 2012. See pages 27 ff.

More of that later. The writing and publishing of this alert is immediately necessitated by the receipt of information concerning the imminent visit of Vassula Ryden to various Catholic locations in India* on the back of a trip by her to Paris and Strasbourg in France which however has elicited strong warnings from six French bishops**.

  • Dialogue Between Vassula Rydén and the CDF
    Dialogue between Vassula Rydén and the CDF Introduction Between 2001 and 2004, Mrs. Vassula Rydén had an official dialogue with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in the Vatican that was requested by the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI. The purpose of this report is not to provide cheap propaganda for Mrs. Rydén, but rather to offer some balanced and detailed insight into the progression and outcome of this dialogue. It must be understood that the dialogue in itself entails no official "approval" of the messages experienced by Mrs. Rydén entitled True Life in God. The Notification of 1995 with some critical comments on Mrs. Rydén’s experience remains formally in effect. Only the publication of a new Notification could "cancel" the former of 1995, and such publication will most likely not occur during Mrs. Rydén’s lifetime, given the Vatican’s always careful stance on alleged mystics still alive. However, there should be no doubt that the dialogue did take place and that it reached a positive conclusion. The entire dialogue between Mrs. Rydén and the CDF was published in the form of a booklet in 2004 and - at the specific request of Cardinal Ratzinger - in all subsequent versions of Mrs. Rydén’s books. As it will become clear in this report, Cardinal Ratzinger had first declined when asked in 1999 to meet Mrs. Rydén because of "the situation with the Notification", as he put it. However, what he did offer was an official dialogue with the CDF. It was this dialogue and its positive outcome that made it possible for Cardinal Ratzinger to receive Mrs.

God conceived it to ensure peace and hap- piness for the human race for all generations. – What was the name of this Order? He did not have a name yet, but today, for convenience, I call it "pri- mordial Order". I call it this way because it existed in the very begin, that is the beginning of creation (before the Original Sin). – What kind of Order? It gives priority to the Divine Will (which is perfect), not to the hu- man one (which is imperfect). The Original Sin changed everything. The right of precedence of the Divine Will has passed to the human one. Adam and Eve, in fact, have preferred their will to the will of the Creator.

  • By Vassula Ryden and Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi
    1 NEED OF DISCERNMENT OF THE SPIRITS by Vassula Ryden and Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi Scriptures say: “You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people” (Acts 23:5) “Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. (Titus 3: 1-2) Many people unfortunately seem to be deceived following false prophecies and movements. If TLIG does not suffice for them, but are searching to follow other revelations simultaneously, why don’t they follow instead Medjugorje, Garabandal, Valtorta, Don Gobbi, Myrna of Souffanieh, or Julia of Korea instead, at least reliable ones? Unfortunately they do not listen to Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi’s S.Th.D. explanations on discernment of the spirits. Fr. Joseph’s intention in writing his warning is only to help people who do not have the gift of discernment and can be easily misled and fall prey to the devil. I’m also aware of the most slanderous article written in the Church Militant (CM) magazine by Dr. Jules Gomes against the True Life In God’s messages and the activities of our Interfaith Pilgrimages, denigrating them, adding a falsified hand-written draft page of mine about Saint John Paul II. “Slander is a kind of murder,” as rightly Saint Francis de Sales quoted. How can a so-called Christian be so treacherous? Now Dr. Gavin Ashenden is an enthusiast of CM and its movement and he could have easily demanded a retraction of the slanderous article, especially since Dr.
