For the record, the “modern Church” as verdugo calls it only reaffirmed what Pope Bendedict XIV [Pope from 1740 to 1758] stated as the article from the Catholic Encyclopedia linked from newadvent.org indicates:

“There are two kinds of revelations: (1) universal revelations, which are contained in the Bible or in the depositum of Apostolic tradition transmitted by the Church. These ended with the preaching of the Apostles and must be believed by all; (2) particular or private revelations which are constantly occurring among Christians (see CONTEMPLATION). When the Church approves private revelations, she declares only that there is nothing in them contrary faith or good morals, and that they may be read without danger or even with profit; no obligation is thereby imposed on the faithful to believe them. Speaking of such revelations as (e.g.) those of St. Hildegard (approved in part by Eugenius III), St. Bridget (by Boniface IX), and St. Catherine of Siena (by Gregory XI) Benedict XIV says: “It is not obligatory nor even possible to give them the assent of Catholic faith, but only of human faith, in conformity with the dictates of prudence, which presents them to us as probable and worthy of pius belief)” (De canon., III, liii, xxii, II). “

Here is a link from EWTN which also clearly makes reference to Pope Bendedict XIV’s clear teaching on this question from the 18th century:

In closing, Verdugo is 100% wrong in this post.

Verdugo wrote: The modernist/progressivist controlled “New Church” teaches that Fatima was not important, a private revelation which one can accept or reject. It is the “New Church” that promotes evolution and liberal criticism of scripture.

Verdugo answers: Can't say 100% because what you posted only addressed 1/3 of the subjects that I mentioned. You didn't address at all the promotion of evolution, nor the liberal criticisms of scripture.

Now, concerning the third point, Fatima, it is not just another private revelation, it is substantiated by the greatest forecast of the future(That the Miracle of the Sun would occur at such a date and time), and the greatest Miracle of all time (70,000 people were witnesses. They and the ground were soaking wet one minute, and the next they and the groung were dry, plus the Miracle of the Sun):

Now, EWTN promotes the LIE that Fatima is an event that is past us, that Pope JPII consecrated Russia, and Russia was converted in 1987. EWTN also says the Third Secret was fully revealed. This stance in 100% in accord with the progressivists party line, the party line of the enemies of Fatima.

Where do you stand?
