“More than forty priests, theCapitolo[the Ecclesiastical authorities] and the local Clergy, were present; the sisters, who brought her on their shoulders in turns, and an immense crowd of citizens. The streets along which the procession was to pass, were packed – incredibly; even the balconies and the roofs of the houses were crammed with people, and the procession proceeded with great difficulty. The funeral was celebrated in the Matrice Church by the entire Capitolo. All the people of Corato followed the body of Luisa to the cemetery, and everyone tried to bring home a souvneir of the flowers which had accompanied and touched the body. A few years later, the body of Luisa was transferred to her Parish Church of Santa Maria Greca, where she is humbly waiting for her glorification. 3/7 – 1947 – Funeral Liturgy and Burial of Luisa Piccarreta
Servant of God, lived exclusively for 64years on the Blessed Sacrament. This period of time she was confined to her bed, voluntarily she remained there so Our Lord could dictate. Two Popes Leo XIII and St Pius X gave permission for daily Mass in her bedroom. She remained totally absolutely totally obedient to the Church. Go figure.
Father Mawdsley presented a classic subjective hit job on the writings of Servant of God Luisa. Absolutely subjective, and anyone listening wouldn’t know what is in context, what is in mystical conformity with the Church, what is Cabal texts as opposed to Luisa’s writing. A convoluted subjective attack according to Father’s interpretation. These perfidious attacks appeal to itching ears of those …More

@Scapular As I keep saying to you, Luisa's Cause was suspended, the Nihil Obstat not granted, and her writings found to contain "Theological, Christological, and Anthropological Difficulties" by those in the Holy See responsible for the Postulation of her Cause and writings (i.e. the DDF and the DCS).

@Scapular As I keep saying to you, Luisa's Cause was suspended, the Nihil Obstat not granted, and her writings found to contain "Theological, Christological, and Anthropological Difficulties" by those in the Holy See responsible for the Postulation of her Cause and writings (i.e. the DDF and the DCS). Father Mawdsley has no authority in the matter whatsoever, other than his right and duty to speak out as a priest to protect souls from error, and his three videos came out way after the decision from Rome, so could not have influenced that decision in any way.
I find it interesting that there is such a strong pushback to Father Mawdsley and others condemning the Divine Will devotion and L. Piccarreta. Clearly the deep Church has some agenda we may not be fully aware of.
@giveusthisday Whether they realise it or not, the false apparitions/seers/locutions/heavenly messages brigade are the useful idiots of the Deep Church.
@brhenry As I have said ad infinitum on this blog and elsewhere, canonised saints are not given the charism of infallibility when dealing with alleged seers and private revelations.
Here are the words from Holy Father (Pope Benedict XVI) when the statue of Saint Annibale Maria di Francia was erected on St. Peter’s basilica in Rome: “A monument to the apostle of prayer for priestly vocations and apostle of the Kingdom of the Divine Will, has been placed in the center of Catholicism: the Saint Peter Basilica at the Vatican. … The monument is truly a great gift and a tribute of …More
Here are the words from Holy Father (Pope Benedict XVI) when the statue of Saint Annibale Maria di Francia was erected on St. Peter’s basilica in Rome: “A monument to the apostle of prayer for priestly vocations and apostle of the Kingdom of the Divine Will, has been placed in the center of Catholicism: the Saint Peter Basilica at the Vatican. … The monument is truly a great gift and a tribute of the Church to the charismatic figure of Saint Annibale, known throughout the world as a worthy apostle of prayer for vocations as well as great apostle of the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Six years after his canonization, his impressive image is located in the heart of Christianity. Father Annibale has always nurtured and expressed feelings of deep love and obedience to the Vicar of Christ, which he has passed on to his spiritual children as a sign of unconditional loyalty. He constantly pointed at the “Rogate”, as the infallible and vital remedy for the life of the Church. … Let us pray on this special occasion to San Annibale Maria Di Francia that he: Who reviewed and gave Nihil Obstat to the Writings of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, inspires and guides those who now read her writings. Who published and disseminated “The Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ” and all her other writings helps in this sacred task all those whom God inspires the timely publication of them. Who overflowed with the divine light of the doctrine of the Divine Will intercedes for us so that we, by constantly dying to our will, can continually live in the Divine Will. We entrust ourselves to St. Annibale Maria Di Francia to obtain for us the spiritual graces needed to know, understand and fully live in the Kingdom of the Divine Will."
In the Polish section of this forum there are several persons including a priest very actively promoting Piccarreta's writings. Therefore, enumerating theological doubts would be very useful.
@V.R.S. Being as the suspension of Luisa's Cause is very recent, there isn't a lot of written material as yet. The following links date from before, and were kindly given to me by @LiveMike. I have only read some of them, not all of them. See below:- This link is recent, from the Korean Bishops' Conference: Korean Church bans Catholic spirituality group - UCA News archive.org/…306/http:/…More

I hope these are of help to you. Also I will attach the letter of the President of the French Doctrinal Commission (in French, but you can get it translated).
