One Reading At A Time."

Britain's
Psychic World newspaper in its July edition says there are "Major
changes to Roman Catholic views as The Vatican says it is OK to talk to
the Dead."
Assistance Editor, Michael Colmer says he has discovered the keynote Vatican policy change regarding "Communication with the Dead." It originated with a very senior and authoritative spokesman, the Rev. Gino Concetti, chief theological commentator for the Vatican. He shared his new Catholic thinking in the respected Italian journal. "L'Osservatore Romano". Colmer points out that it is important to note that Fr. Concetti is not a rebel and thus his views carry Vatican endorsement.
Fr. Concetti said: "Communication is possible between those who live on this earth and those who live in a state of eternal repose, in heaven or purgatory. It may even be that God lets our loved ones send us messages to guide us at certain moments in our life." He added that the key to the Church's attitude was the Roman Catholic belief in a "Communion of Saints" which included Christians on earth as well as those in the afterlife. "Where there is communion, there is communication," he said.
Fr. Concetti suggested dead relatives could be responsible for prompting impulses and triggering inspiration - and even for "sensory manifestations", such as appearances in dreams. He further declared that the new Catholic Catechism specifically endorsed the view that the dead could intercede in earth and quotes the dying St. Dominic telling his brothers: "Do not weep, for I shall be more useful to you after my death and I shall help you then more effectively than during my life." Colmer adds: "
This new attitude represents a 180 degree turn in Catholic thinking". Further to Michael Comer's Psychic World story, the Vatican based Zenit News Service reported that the Pope, John Paul II, in a letter on Incarnation and Death to the Master General of the Dominican Order, Father Timoth Radcliffe, used the exact same quotation given by the dying St. Dominic, but refrained from discussing direct Spirit Communication as such. The Pope's letter warns that the modern world's denial of the incarnation of Christ "in turn leads to a greatly diminished sense of human possibility".

Most heartening for the possibility that the church may be maturing to embrace Yeshua's teachings is the fact that this statement by the Pope allows for people maturing into loving, compassionate, spiritual beings even if, during their lives, they weren't able to grow to that spiritual level. People "self-exclude" themselves from God and spirituality, he says. That means they can, then, mature to loving God and humankind at some time later in their eternal lives.
