A Response to Arthur Policarpio's Response to Dr. Mark Miravalle

By David Moorcroft 

Mr. Arthur Policarpio graduated from Catholic University 
De La Salle,  and holds a degree of Bachelor of Science in 
Business Management. He heads the local Mobext mobile 
marketing company. He promotes Maria Divine Mercy 
on his website Totus Tuus, Maria
The theologian Dr Mark Miravalle has published an article condemning the alleged prophetic messages to an anonymous ‘seer’ who calls herself ‘Maria Divine Mercy’ (MDM). The article has provoked a response from Mr Arthur Policarpio on his website ‘Totus Tuus, Maria’. 

Mr Policarpio claims to be a ‘Catholic writer’. There are many like him, taking up space on the Internet and representing every strain of ‘Catholic’ thought abroad in the world. If we were Anglicans, we could call ‘Catholic writers’ a Broad Church. So where in this Latitudinarian profession do we place Mr Policarpio? 

At the beginning of his ‘Response’, he accepts without question ‘the prophecies and messages given by Our Lord to the Irish seer “Maria Divine Mercy”.’ It is as well to get this clear: no time-wasting chit-chat about being objective. He says:

Reply to Dr. Kelly Bowring

This is Tee Brown's reply to Dr. Kelly Bowring's comments on Great Battle Has Begun blog post Tee, for some reasons - technical or otherwise, was not able to comment under the article.

Dr. Bowring is wrong on a number of points. 

His reliance on a supposed quote of Pope Urban VIII (It is better to believe than not to believe. 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.) is laughable as no one has ever found an actual source of this quote though it is often cited by those trying to spread bogus private revelations. And in any case, it does not matter as we are now under the 1983 Code of Canon Law which requires prior censorship as Cardinal Ratzinger made clear long ago:
"A reminder, therefore, that for the diffusion of texts of presumed private revelations, the norm of the Code in force, Canon 823, para 1, which gives

The Great Warning and its Hilarious Imitation by MDM

Between 1961 and 1965, the Virgin Mary appeared
to four simple rural girls in the town of San Sebastian
de Garabandal of the Diocese of Santander in Portugal.
Aged between 11 and 12, they were Conchita Gonzalez,
Mari Loli Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez and Mari Cruz Gonzalez.
 While three of them shared the same surnames,
they were not blood-related.
People have known about the prophecy on the Great Warning for decades now.   It all started with the messages given by the Virgin Mary who appeared to four school children in the rural town of Sebastian de Garabandal, Spain between 1961 and 1965.

THE “MARIA DIVINE MERCY” MESSAGES -- BEWARE!


Fr. Carlos Martins
(His message was lifted from the Mother of God forum dealing with MDM dated 29 April 2013))

There is an abundance of people spreading these messages on the internet. More and more people are sending me emails containing them and asking me to promote, “Maria Divine Mercy”.

Stay away from this absurd and false prophet. “Maria Divine Mercy” is not receiving authentic messages. Many ignorant and gullible people are jumping on her bandwagon, or at least entertaining her absurd messages, to their own harm.
Fr. Carlos Martins is among the Catholic priests
and other defenders of the True Church
who have been maliciously slandered and
maligned by MDMers.  None of them
can defend the indefensible heresies of their cult leader
who knows this and have conveniently instructed
 its followers not to defend them, to make
them look meek, humble and persecuted.
But ofcourse, as sly as the devil, its followers
are discreditng the people trying to correct
and restore them to the right path.

It is clear that the nature of her messages are to place a wedge between the faithful and the Church, specifically between the faithful and the Holy Father, Pope Francis. One of the “revelations” received by this very misguided person is that Pope Benedict will be the last Pope on earth, that he will be ousted from office, and that Pope Francis is a false pope. All three claims are false and individuals who believe them show they do not believe Our Lord's words in Matthew 16:18-19. In questioning Pope Francis, the Vicar of Christ on earth, they are questioning Jesus Christ himself. It is for such people that Hebrews 13:9 was written: "Do not be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings." Furthermore, name for me ONE Saint in the Church's long history that placed a private vision or revelation above the word of the Pope and of the Church? You won’t find any.

“Maria Divine Mercy” states that she has received messages from “the Holy Trinity as well as by the Virgin Mary.” Name for me ONE visionary from the Church's list of approved apparitions that described himself/herself as a "visionary", "prophet", or "seer"? None exist. The seers at Fatima, St. Bernadette, St. Catherine Laboure, etc., all submitted their visions, received messages, and interpretations of both, to the Church. This is not only a recipe for spiritual health, it is also the mark of holiness. “Maria Divine Mercy” lacks both.

The hooded cloak called anonymity protects scam artist and frauds
from the  probing eyes of authorities on their nefarious and/or
fiduciary agenda.  This is the hallmark of the devil who mush hide
from the light the better to ensnare unwary victims.  This anonymity
 is in and of itself enough to betray the deception behind the 
MDM messages. It's very convenient for her to have her 
fake Christ say that his seer must be anonymous to preserve 
her protection for his evil purposes. Only from the devil.  
There are no prophets from God who is anonymous.  
Finally, “Maria Divine Mercy” writes anonymously. No one knows who she is. This, in fact, should be the first thing to set off alarm bells. Name for me ONE prophet that hid himself/herself in secret while slinging out "revelations" without accountability and without subjecting himself/herself to the authority of the Church? There are none.

In giving credence to “Maria Divine Mercy”, devotees are disobeying the laws of the Church, are promoting an evil which is sowing discord among the faithful, and are leading people away from the Church, the same Church for which Christ shed his blood.

Those who subscribe to or spread these messages need to repent, for one day they will come under the judgment of God for doing so.
