Beware of Vassula

http://www.victorclaveau.com/htm_html/Heresies%20&%20Falsehoods/beware_of_vassula.htm

By Laurette Elsberry, The Evangelization Station, San Francisco Faith, June 2004

On December 15, 1996, false seer and Jesus impersonator Vassula Ryden made an appearance here in San Francisco. At that time, Archbishop William Levada published in “Sunday to Sunday” the following announcement:

“The Vatican has affirmed last year’s warning to Catholics about information put forth by Vassula Ryden, an Orthodox Christian calling herself a ‘Mystic from Switzerland’.”

In May, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said again:

“Catholics should not consider Ms. Ryden’s messages as divine revelations but as personal meditations. The meditations contain elements that are negative in the light of Church doctrine. The faithful are asked to preserve the purity of faith by not relying on presumed revelations but by following the Word of God and the directives of the Church’s teaching authority.”

“The 1995 statement about Ms. Ryden,” Archbishop Levada continued, “said her writings contained several doctrinal errors including ambiguity and confusion about the Trinity. It also said Ms. Ryden was creating ecumenical confusion by receiving Catholic sacraments against the rules of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.”

Archbishop Levada’s caution is still relevant, since Vassula Ryden appeared again in San Francisco on May 21. Those Catholics curious about Vassula can see for themselves the nature of her bizarre actions and “messages” by visiting her websites at http://www.vassula.org or http://www.tlig.us.

Official Vatican documents and statements by bishops opposed to the Vassula phenomena can be found by searching for “Vassula” on http://www.google.com.

As Cardinal Ratzinger stated, Catholics should be “following the Word of God and the directives of the Church’s teaching authority,” instead of running after and being deceived and fleeced by phony seers.
