It just keeps getting incredible what the Pope is backing away from. Well, looks like the Pope is retracting more than a few things, now they are backing away from the apparitions that have been claimed of Jesus. Catholics believe that figures such as Jesus and Mary can appear supernaturally, known as apparitions, to share religious messages, inspire devotion, or call for peace. But now the Pope seems to be taking steps in backing away from this long held conviction.

"Jesus may answer prayers but he has not made special appearances in a small town in the north of France, the Vatican said on Wednesday.

In a new instruction approved by Pope Leo, the Vatican's top doctrinal office said stories of appearances by Jesus in the town of Dozule, in Normandy, were not to be considered genuine by the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.

A Catholic mother in the town had reported seeing Jesus 49 times during the 1970s, and said he had dictated a series of messages and told her to build a 7.38-metre (24.21-foot) cross on a hillside in the town.

"The phenomenon of the alleged apparitions ... is to be regarded, definitively, as not supernatural in origin, with all the consequences that flow from this determination," said the text issued by the doctrinal office.

Catholics believe religious figures such as Jesus and Mary can make supernatural appearances, called apparitions, to offer religious messages, create new devotional practices or make general appeals for peace.

The Vatican has a formal evaluation process for assessing claimed appearances, and it warns against use of alleged phenomena for monetary gain.

The Vatican also recently issued a decree clarifying the titles Catholics can use for Mary. That text said Mary cannot be called the "co-redeemer" of the world, since Catholics believe Jesus alone redeemed humanity by his crucifixion and death."

A step in the right direction. A journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step. Said by that well known Catholic, Mao Tse Tung. (J/K) So still a way to go. Mary not so special and apparitions not genuine..... what next!

Y’all need to thank President Trump for getting an American pope in there.
 
Doesn't the Pope have to speak ex cathedra for it to be binding? As I understand it there hasn't been an ex cathedra decree since the 1950s. And isn't the Catechism still the sole authority? The Donald proclaimed the Department of Defense is now the Department of War; but that's only a cosmetic change, it's still officially the DOD. Isn't that pretty much what Prevost is doing?

Well, thats how they get away with pretending they are changing, then say well it was not done speaking ex cathedra...

how do you prove something didn't happen? proving a negative is a logical fallacy.

Joh 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Joh 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

Jesus will not show a visible image of Himself for our salvation is based on faith which is the evidence of things not seen.

And He will not ever appear in the flesh again.

The disciples seen the risen Christ so they did not need faith and it gave them confidence that it it true so they could boldly without doubt proclaim Jesus.

Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Act 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Paul did not need faith for he had evidence which gave him confidence to claim Jesus to the Gentiles as well as Jews.

The Catholics did not see any manifestation of Jesus.

Also the Pope is changing his position on things to please the Protestants.

For he will embrace the new age interpretation of the Bible and religions when the New Age Christ pushes the agenda of the new age.

And the Pope will become head of a unified religious system with all religions interpreted by the new age.

Which will pull in atheists, the religions, many Catholics, and some people who will depart from the faith.

The Pope is hoping to pull in Protestants hoping they will believe the New Age Christ's reality.

So the Pope is saying things to please them.

Also since the Pope will embrace the new age which is a different belief system of the Bible he does not care about Mary and the interpretation of the Bible they have been putting out, and the practices they have done, and the traditions.

So it does not bother the Pope to abandon those things for they are not part of his religious reality beliefs so he does not think he is doing anything wrong in the spiritual sense.

He is waiting for the New Age Christ to put forth the agenda of the new age as reality and then publicly jump on board saying he is correct about the Bible and religions.

And then assist the New Age Christ in his agenda influencing many people.

With Science backing up the New Age Christ from a scientistic viewpoint.

Which you can see some in the Science field are doing that now.

The new age had a hand in the 1960's counter culture movement, feminism, LGBTQ+, and the Woke movement.

They have to knock down the major influences in society to be able to influence society which are white people, men, straight, and Christian, and boost the minor influences.

The Woke movement will accept the new age so they are trying to make it the major influence.

Marilyn Ferguson wrote a book The Aquarian Conspiracy on how to influence society to reflect the new age and she said change children's education which they influence the children so they will be accepting of the Woke movement.

The new age is sneaking in everywhere to change things over to their way of thinking.

Including governments influencing European nations and nations taken over by Europeans.

Like a snake coiling around its victim.

Which the new age is a Caucasian led plan.

Invading the Vatican and the Science community.
