I actually thought/hoped that this was going to be an interesting thread, and then it degenerated into the usual fundy Protestant attack on Catholics, with the corresponding Catholic rebuttals. Catholics, please, ignore these guys! If they want to get on a Catholic thread and attack us, fine, but let them rave away while we ignore their foaming at the mouth and go on with our discussion of whatever it was the original thread was all about. (Which, by the 5th or 6th fundamentalist attack/rebuttal exchange, is pretty darn well forgotten.)

I'll try. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church at 67, the role of private revelation is not "to improve or complete Christ's definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history." Therefore it might be helpful to know 'the rest of the story', but it appears it's not necessary.

Amen to your idea livius. What do we profit engaging those who seek to distract us. We are better put to work explaining, and exclaming those things we know. V's wife.
