Cardinal Ratzinger. The notification is NOT a condemnation
Interview with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger by Niels Christian Hvidt
The Problem of Christian Prophecy, in 30Giorni, No 1 - 1999 Look the entire interview here [...] Niels Christian Hvidt : This last question could be a little embarrassing. It regards a contemporary prophetic figure - the Greek Orthodox Vassula Ryden. She is considered by many faithful, and by many theologians, priests and bishops of the Catholic Church to be a messenger of Christ. Her messages, which have been translated into 34 languages since 1991, are known throughout the world. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has, however, declared negative on the issue. The 1995 Notification on the obscure points as well as the positive aspects of her writings was interpreted by some commentators as a condemnation. Is that the case?
Niels Christian Hvidt : Is the procedure to clarify the question continuing? RATZINGER: Yes, and during the clarification process the faithful must be prudent, maintaining a discerning attitude. There is no doubt that there is an evolution in the writings which does not yet seem to have concluded. We must remember that being able to set oneself up as the word and image of interior contact with God, even in the case of authentic mysticism, always depends on the possibilities of the human soul and its limitations. Unlimited trust should only be placed in the real Word of the Revelation that we encounter in the faith transmitted by the Church. The Problem of Christian Prophecy, in 30Giorni, No 1 - 1999
