Ref: 2591/K-5/KCBC/OL/DS Your Eminence / Grace / Excellency, Cordial Greetings from the Secretariate of the KCBC! I am writing this letter as directed by the President of the KCBC to request for to give immediate directions to the concerned persons, not to call Vassula Rydn a controversial Christian mystic living in switzerland who claimed to receive messages from Jesus Christ and blessed Virgin Mary. We came to know that some of the Catholic retreat centres in Kerala and some of our parishes had already invited her for preaching. In 1995, the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (CDF) published a notification on the writings of Rydn, saying her communications should not be considered supernatural, and calling all Catholic bishops to prevent Rydns ideas from being spread in their dioceses. In 2007, Cardinal William Laveda, former president of the CDF, confirmed that the 1995 Notification was still in effect; he recommended that Catholics should not join prayer groups organized by Rydn. May I humbly request you to inform our priests and religious regarding the said matter and take necessary and urgent steps prevent her preaching our parishes and retreat centres. Kindly note the notification from the CDF below. Thanking you in anticipation, Fr. Stephen Alathara Deputy Secretary General & Spokesperson, KCBC Director, POC

confusing the specific names and functions of the Divine Persons. These alleged revelations predict an imminent period when the Antichrist will prevail in the Church. In millenarian style, it is prophesied that God is going to make a final glorious intervention which will initiate on earth, even before Christs definitive coming, an era of peace and universal prosperity. Furthermore, the proximate arrival is foretold of a Church which would be a kind of pan-Christian community, contrary to Catholic doctrine. The fact that the aforementioned errors no longer appear in Rydens later writings is a sign that the alleged heavenly messages are merely the result of private meditations. Moreover, by habitually sharing in the sacraments of the Catholic Church even though she is Greek Orthodox, Mrs. Ryden is causing considerable surprise in various circles of the Catholic Church. She appears to be putting herself above all ecclesiastical jurisdiction and every canonical norm, and in effect, is creating an ecumenical disorder that irritates many authorities, ministers and faithful of her own Church, as she puts herself outside the ecclesiastical discipline of the latter. Given the negative effect of Vassula Rydens activities, despite some positive aspects, this Congregation requests the intervention of the Bishops so that their faithful may be suitably informed and that no opportunity may be provided in their Dioceses for the dissemination of her ideas. Lastly, the Congregation invites all the faithful not to regard Mrs. Vassula Rydens writings and speeches as supernatural and to preserve the purity of the faith that the Lord has entrusted to he Church.

NOTIFICATION ON VASSULA RYDEN (6 October 1995)

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Many bishops, priests, religious and lay people have sought an authoritative judgement from this Congregation on the activity of Mrs. Vassula Ryden, a Greek Orthodox residing in Switzerland, who in speech and in writing is spreading in Catholic circles throughout the world messages attributed to alleged heavenly revelations. A calm, attentive examination of the entire question, undertaken by this Congregation in order to test the spirits to see whether they are of God (cf. 1 Jn. 4:1), has brought out-in addition to positive aspects - a number of basic elements that must be considered negative in the light of Catholic doctrine. In addition to pointing out the suspect nature of the ways in which these alleged revelations have occurred, it is necessary to underscore several doctrinal errors they contain. Among other things, ambiguous language is used in speaking of the Persons of the Holy Trinity, to the point of
