Private revelations are for the person spoken to. They are on a level that edifies the person that they can understand to help them. While private revelations can be shared they are not an obligatory belief for others. They can edify others of course but it’s not something set in stone. With Faustina being a saint now… it sure seems like there is a certain level of approval but not sure how that all works as far as the revelations are concerned. But it is something I’m attracted to personally. Who does not like mercy?!
I’m really enjoying this thread. I’m learning a lot. And realizing how little I know. We didn’t learn much of anything with regards to Catholicism back in grade school.Private revelations are for the person spoken to.

We didn’t have Catachism in school, we had “religion” but I dont really remember what we were taught.Don’t worry Faith. Everything is a constant learning experience and it should be when you think about it.
So many Catholics back in the day say the same. They went through the steps but nothing really stuck. Thankfully, the Church is finally recognizing that there are many Catholics that were not catechized well and they are trying to do better. But on the other hand, those that are interested in their faith need to learn to also feed themselves. Children just going through the motions are going to result in adults going through the motions with little knowledge. Those are the ones evangelized by Protestants to spread a lot of anti-Catholic nonsense never knew their Faith to begin with. I really do hope the Church starts to really invest in the Faith of those they are shepherding.
We did have to buy a small Bible (NT?) in 7th or 8th grade and I remember having to read that for awhile and these “religion” work sheets that fit into a binder but that’s about it.
Well said!Don’t worry Faith. Everything is a constant learning experience and it should be when you think about it.
Oh, that’s ok.
Thanks. Sometimes I think some of my questions are dumb, things I should’ve grown up knowing, but we really weren’t taught much. I once asked a friend who went to the same church and grade school I did, but was three years behind me, if they learned a lot in “religion” class and they didn’t either.Well said!
