Following my previous post on Medjugorje, I would add one other question to my list:

Why doesn't the Vatican take a more active interest in reported apparitions, miracles, prophecies and revelations?

If the Church is concerned for the spiritual welfare of the faithful, it should attempt to provide more clearer and binding judgments. Also the Church should endeavour to inform the faithful about the doctrinal errors being propagated by people like Vassula Ryden and Luisa Picaretta. For example, the latter claimed that her human will was in perfect conformity with the divine will, so that everything she said and did was exactly what God wanted, in other words she was sinless. (For to sin is to act contary to the divine will.) Yet for a start who is she to have received a grace which no saint ever received and how can she be certain that her will did conform perfectly to God's. Secondly, such a grace would make her in the sight of God equal to Christ or at least His mother, who by virtue of her Immaculate Conception would have exercised her will perfectly. As a friend jokingly remarked, if what Luisa Picaretta said was true, she would have to be included in the canon of the Mass, right after Our Lady.

As you can see from the case of Luisa Picaretta, there are real dangers to the faith of Catholics if the Church does not make itself heard and encourage bishops to exercise their magisterial office.
