DECLARATIONS

Decree

The decree of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, A.A.S.58, 1186 (approved by Pope Paul VI on October 14, 1966) states that the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur are no longer required on publications that deal with private revelations, provided that they contain nothing contrary to faith and morals.

Pope Urban VIII

In cases which concern private revelations, it is better to believe than not to believe, for if you believe and it is proven true, you will be happy that you have believed because our Holy Mother asked it. If you believe and it should be proven false, you will receive all blessings as if it had been true, because you believed it to be true (Pope Urban VIII, 1623-44).

Sacred Scripture

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything, retain what is good (1 Thes. 5:19).
