POPULAR DEVOTIONAL PRACTICES
The following is excerpted from the article, “Popular Devotional Practices: Basic Questions and Answers,” published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, (03 Copyright © by United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) and a continuation from last week. The full text can be found at
www.usccb.org/bishops/devprac.htm
10. By what standard does the Church judge the genuineness of private revelations?
Private revelations are always to be judged by their conformity to public Revelation, particularly to the Sacred Scriptures, and not the other way around. As public Revelation is centered on Christ, any genuine private revelation will make Christ known and will help bring people to Christ.
The criterion for the truth and value of a private revelation is therefore its orientation to Christ himself. When it leads us away from him, when it becomes independent of him or even presents itself as another and better plan of salvation, more important than the Gospel, then it certainly does not come from the Holy Spirit, who guides us more deeply into the Gospel and not away from it.49
Similarly, although not every popular devotion has its origin in a private revelation, every popular devotion must likewise be in conformity with the faith of the Church based on public Revelation and must ultimately be centered on Christ.
