T ra the witness of holiness just approved by Pope Benedict XVI, is a French shepherdess, Benedetta Rencurel, known as the "Seer of Laus." Suffering from the stigmata received in 1673, misunderstood and persecuted in the last years of his life, had resurfaced after the official recognition of the Marian apparitions at Laus, which occurred May 4, 2008. On many others are, and far more recent, the Church has yet to rule. The topic gives me the opportunity to interview Father Angelo Maria Tentori, religious origins of the Servants of Mary of Bergamo and mariologist among the best known for his ability to make available to anyone certain theological themes and dissecting the symbolism connected with supernatural events .
Father in these days there is much talk of the apparitions and highlight those of ideological speculation that the proposed negatively. What do you think?
"Considering the apparitions my main job I say first that they should be interpreted, and to do that you need to know" good "the protagonist in his person and in his mission, and perhaps pay immediately after riavvalorata To be able to grasp all the meanings of apparition cases must be studied for many years and associate them with other different, compare them with each other to grasp both the similarities and both the points where they differ. Indeed, each one with lights and some other aspects which cast shadows and suspects are more outdated, even the attitudes of the Virgin Mary in an apparition that can be a little 'dark are clearer understanding similar to those of another. "
From addresses as the visionaries, we could also see something of his psychology, his pedagogical action?
"In the apparitions, Our Lady comes as the visionaries can treat a woman who is mother. Of course suits their human skills relating to age, their culture and training. Does, however, an effort of faith to live the Christian life, indeed to live openly as will encounter difficulties, while at the same time reassuring them of his assistance, and this because he wants to mature as a person, incidentally this attitude was not dissimilar from the Apostles in Jesus. "
you believe that the apparitions are contextually relevant to the development of the human future?
"Without a doubt. Although the creatures are unsuited to the task to be assigned or even jeopardizing the success calling them asking them to convey the dangers to which the world moves away from God is going to encounter. Through the visionaries God with Mary expresses her maternal presence in the Church and her labor during the time .
affects the kindness with which the Lady talking with the most humble people: for example you give of Bernadette, a marginalized.
"Yes. But even when other appearances in turns with you is always great delicacy. How to Ghiaie Bonate for example, near Bergamo, where in 1944 speaks to the small Adelaide Roncalli in Bergamo. Instead, in La Salette had begun to speak in French, but seeing that Melanie and Maximin did not understand the reference to potatoes that would rot (potato in French is called pomme de terre, but in the Savoyard dialect apple is apple), she started smiling to speak the local dialect ... Note also that when it is also takes into account the physical conditions of the visionaries, especially children. In Lourdes for example, does not appear to Bernadette at a fixed time as happens in other, because the seer, suffering from asthma, often could not sleep at night when he could so recovered.
Some local Ordinaries and adversely heavily involved in some cases to pronounce the word "false" than "non constat de ..".
"There is also the use of these terms revisione.È imperative that a new bishop to intervene if a finding contrary to morality and teaching in the writings of Chiesa.Spesso Where there sentences that these elements may appear poorly written or why not included with superficial answers indurimento.E determine that 'reading is not desirable for extended global context and in content ... ":
Some say it's better than the' excess caution.
"We just care ... but never resulting aftermath of major trauma: what someone has ruined the lives, we think of the families affected by the smear campaigns, and then frankly, even if the CIS were to fail to recognize an apparition, not happen I like anything because people are not required to believe in a private revelation. "
Better know Mary and the more you put in its place?
"At this regard, the Council has clarified the popular Marian devotion by certain aspects sometimes not very orthodox, bringing about a more clearly evangelical, and above all making it more concrete and actual. Already St. Therese of the Child Jesus lamented how, in the preaching of that time and even after, the Madonna was presented mainly in his current life in Paradise, and then reached the beatification, let alone the implications of his life as a woman, wife and mother it had to face difficulties and persecution: these aspects, however, that make you feel closer to the people and are a true role model.
