We only honor the La Salette apparition today thanks to the "rules regarding the discussion of visions being relaxed"... after Vatican II.
So Trads owe something to Vatican II? Whatever we need Vatican II for, can't be any good!
In other words, whenever Vatican II is the answer, it's a really crappy question!

Once again, during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XV, the Church was compelled to address the issue. Benedict XV issued an admonitum or formal papal warning recognizing the many different versions of the secret in all its diverse forms and forbidding the faithful or the clergy to investigate or discuss them without permission from their bishops. The admonitum further affirmed that the Church's prohibition issued under Pope Leo XIII remained binding. A decree in 1923 was prompted by the reprinting of the 1879 edition subsequently altered by an anti-clerical partisan of the secret.
Since the Second Vatican Council, the rules regarding the discussion of visions have been relaxed and the Index abolished. Her book was republished, and discussion once again took place.

You learn something every day! Sometimes it's quite a doozy...

It was placed in the index because of so many different translations, not because it was a false apparition.  Big difference.  

How many popes have failed to consecrate Russia and we're surprised that many popes ignored LaSallete too, by not researching/issuing a true translation?  Not shocking at all.  

I guess the only conclusion is that we should not take anything from this or that La Salette translation and run with it, without some kind of guidance from a Trad bishop.

Because the Church (before V2) was quite cautious about the La Salette prophecy, because of all the babel of confusion of versions and translations.
Catholics should beware, in other words.

Exactly, and looking at the Crisis in the Church resulting from Vatican II and the new order "mass", we can logically conclude that the true version of La Salette is the one containing Our Lady's words, "Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of Antichrist" ... "The Church will be in eclipse" ... "The Antichrist will be born of a Hebrew nun" ... etc.

Knowing the wiles of the Modernists I suspect they 'relaxed discussion' on visions in order to set up  Medjugorje as the apparitions of a now modernist Our Lady. There is no doubt but it is the Devil who runs the daily news from heaven there. Some of the stories, like Our Lady saying the holiest person in that country was a Muslim woman, will give you a taste of what is on offer there from heaven.

Ever since the revelations of La Salette came out about Rome losing the faith and becoming the seat of the antichrist, it is only natural to see there would be resistance to such predictions. But now that it has come true, and Rome doesn't give a damn, 'Catholics' in the world today have moved on to the message of Medjugorje.

La Salette was a genuine apparition. As can know this from a second apparition directly connected to it.

Thirty-three years after the apparition, on 20^th August 1879, a basilica at La Salette was consecrated, and the following day, August 21^st, the cardinal Archbishop of Paris in France (representing the Melchisedech Priesthood and Melchisedech Kingship) performed a canonical coronation of the statue of the Virgin of La Salette according to the prescription of the sacred Congregation of Rites.
On the very same day as this coronation, 21st August 1879, as only heaven can co-ordinate, there occurred an active but silent apparition at Knock, a small town in west Connaught, Ireland, a place ‘ruggedly inhospitable and not conducive for agriculture.’

The apparition of Knock was one of the most unusual in the history of apparitions. While the figures in it were speaking, no one could hear them. There are a few versions by those attempting to understand the message, but there is no doubt it forecast what was to come to the Church in the 20th century, but this one singled out another attack on the traditional Mass, just as Cromwell did in Ireland in the 17th century. As this is exactly what happened after Vatican II, Cromwell's Protestant meal replacing the sacrificial Mass, I go along with this interpretation. No doubt Medjugorje has long given up the Latin Mass, so approval of this place can now go ahead.
