MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on Tuesday warned the faithful against a group called \u201cMaria Divine Mercy\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a letter to the dioceses, CBCP president Archbishop Romulo Valles urged the people to be very cautious with the said organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrusting on the wisdom and pastoral assessment of Bishop Ruperto Santos and the assessment of the Divine Mercy Philippines (DMP)-National Working Committee, we thus heed their warning that we should be very careful of the group Maria Divine Mercy,\u201d the Davao prelate said in a letter dated June 29.<\/p>\n

With this, the CBCP head supports the stand of the Bataan bishop and the DMP that the group brings confusion and causes incorrect teachings to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, I formally endorse the position of Bishop Santos and the Divine Mercy Philippines (DMP)-National Working Committee that considers the Maria Divine Mercy (MDM) in the Philippines as a group whose teachings and activities bring confusion and propagate erroneous, false, and distorted teachings to our Catholic faithful,\u201d Valles said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Santos has presented his position paper on the existence of the said group before the CBCP.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay I inform your good office about the existence of \u201cMaria Divine Mercy\u201d which brings confusion and propagates erroneous, false and distorted teachings. This Catholic Irish woman, Mary Carberry, calls herself \u201cMaria Divine Mercy\u201d claims and spread 650 messages from Jesus Christ and from the Blessed Virgin Mary,\u201d he said in a letter dated March 17.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are submitting our Position Paper on the existence of \u2018Maria Divine Mercy\u2019 and humbly requesting for the issuance of official declaration against the messages of \u2018Maria Divine Mercy\u2019,\u201d Santos added.<\/p>\n

The Bataan bishop said that the messages and activities of the group are being conducted in Cebu, Iloilo, Bukidnon, Zamboanga, and Batangas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is very alarming to our devotees and followers of Divine Mercy Philippines,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Carberry has claimed for years to have received messages from Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n

Among these messages included apocalyptic predictions about Pope Benedict XVI\u2019s resignation and words to the effect that Pope Francis was a false prophet.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
