However, some posthumous investigations in 1923 and 1928 made it uncertain how much of the books he attributed to Emmerich were actually his own creation and the works were discarded for her beatification process.

Recall that he was a poet and a novelist, so some embellishment is highly likely.

How unfortunate. The visions are so detailed and full of information, if it was 100% reliable it would be a treasure.

Ven. Maria de Agreda's Mystical City of God is more reliable, albeit still private revelation, I would go with her account over Emmerich. Although I still like Emmerich's books.

The saints who recount the life of Christ, or of Mary, do not attempt to teach the intricacies of doctrine, but to assist meditation and appreciation for Our Lord's Passion.   Any scandal taken is contrived, and the purpose of that saint's writings is lost on people who miss the point.

The Mystical City of God by Ven. Mary of Agreda is definitely trustworthy and has been approved by numerous Popes, saints and highly esteemed theologians for hundreds of years.  (My old copy has about 15 pages quoting a the numerous approbations over the years.)

The same can not be necessarily be said of the revelations of Anne Catherine Emmerich.  I person believe that she was a good and holy person.  The problem is the man who wrote and published her revelations was a protestant and surely embellished and changed things.  So, we don't have trustworthy writings for her.
