We must be cautious with alleged private revelations, as many arise and may mislead, even using seemingly good manifestations. True revelations are modest, hidden, and subject to Church discernment. Publicity-seeking visionaries raise doubts. As Scripture advises, test all spirits carefully true prophets don't seek attention or global stages.

Transcript:

Well, I'm cautious because, in general, all these so-called new revelations are coming up like grass. It's an inflation of private revelations, alleged ones, so we should not be very attentive to them, because the evil spirit also uses good things, like a possible supernatural manifestation, to confuse the Church in this way. Our Lord warned us: to be careful, be attentive. Do not believe every spirit, said Our Lord, because many will rise and say, "I am Christ," or "I come from Christ."

So why did Our Lord warn people not to believe so easily in any supernatural manifestation? Because, as St. Paul also says, do not condemn revelation or prophecy, but he added, "prove and test them."

And so, for me, it's already a sign of doubt and caution when such an alleged revelation presents itself to the entire world in such a way. That is already, for me, a sign of donatism because a true revelation would never take such a stage to present itself. So we have to be very cautious.

Also, the stigmatics were always hidden people, and they avoided any publicity. Even the children of Fatima and Bernadette of Lourdes were very modest. They did not want to appear in public; it was always very painful for them to appear before crowds. They did it only when they were asked by the Church authority.

In this case, as you mentioned, it is not the case. Therefore, we have to be very careful and not allow ourselves to be so easily attracted to such, I think, many self-appointed visionaries.
