I think some bankers in Arkansas bought some cheap land from her...
the CDF has modified the situation regarding TLIG, please before you are so quick to judge, read all of True Life in God first. Otherwise your comments are nothing but rash judgments made because of a newspaper article with no credit whatsoever.
January 2005 go to: http://www.tlig.org/ to read all of the comments and questions and answers that were given to Vassula.
For the past few years an ongoing communication has been taking place between the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) and Vassula. This communication has modified the situation that emerged after the Notification published by the CDF in 1995. The dialogue between Vassula and the CDF was published in the latest editions of TLIG worldwide at the request of the CDFs Prefect, H.E. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. The publication of this dialogue has resulted in a letter dated 10th July 2004 which is signed by Cardinal Ratzinger himself to a number of Presidents of Catholic Episcopal Conferences who had expressed particular concern on Vassula and her writings. His Eminence explained to them in his letter that the position of the CDF has been modified towards Vassula and her writings. The Cardinal wishes that everyone reads the questions put to Vassula and her answers.
When Cardinal Ratzinger was asked, "what will your office reply if anybody asks if the notification is still valid?," his reply was:
"The situation has been modified"
