I am not very well informed on private revelations (except for perhaps Fatima), so wanted to ask this question regarding Msgr. Williamson's acceptance of Garabandal:
I have read here about the very strange behaviour of the seers, walking like crabs and spiders, or backwards, etc, and that people say this seems to be more inspired by the devil than heaven.
But just to play devil's advocate, was not S. Bernadette also accused of bizarre behaviour at Lourdes (bathing in mud, eating weeds and grass, etc.) as a test of her humility?
Is it possible that the seers at Garabandal also were put to a similar test of humility and obedience, knowing their begahviour would be taken by others to the discredit of the apparitions/revelations?
I'm just asking the question, not stating a belief.
After seeing the second interview of Bp Williamson today where he states he still believes in garabandal I am starting to think that belief in (false) private revelations has some relation with the denial of Church dogma (eg. EENS).
