Sometimes an announcement in the Catholic press sounds so bland, so routine, that you might think nothing unusual or even interesting was involved. For example, this ZENIT item sounds like a routine bit of bureaucratic functioning: a certain bishop has been appointed to some position as the "pontifical commissioner" to a certain religious community, whatever that means.
This is actually one of the weirdest cases of phony mysticism I've heard of, in an era when false mystics and apparitions are "the scourge of the Church" (in the words of E. Michael Jones). What does the Church do when a visionary attracts followers - and even inspires the founding of new religious communities - but the founder turns out to be a fraud with a heretical message? In this case, the Church suppressed the visionary's lay movement but let the religious community continue, provided that it accept direct supervision by a bishop appointed by Rome.
What did the founder do or say that was so bad? Oh, she's alleged to be the reincarnation of Our Lady, that's all.
The reincarnation of the Blessed Virgin. Riiiiiiiiight.
My web filter blocks http://www.rickross.com/reference/armyofmary/armyofmary3.html under the category of "Occult/New Age." I have to take off my computer's chasity belt just to see it.
This is just nuts!
"Mother Mary is fully enveloped by God," Army of Mary priest Pierre Mastropietro says offhandedly. "She prays every day, but her life is so attached to that of Mary's that she isn't Mary but she is Mary at the same time. If we try to explain it we'll change its meaning."
If the Blessed Mother had need to come back to an Earthly presence, why would she need to take on a new persona? She seems to do pretty well when she drops in for a visit as herself (i.e.-Fatima, Lourdes, etc.).
