On the Standing of Luisa Piccarreta in the Catholic Church

By None

Many American ‘sources’ have once again raised their heads in an attempt to condemn as heretical the writings of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta, whose cause for beatification is underway at the Vatican. To clear up any unwitting or malicious falsehoods about Luisa, here is the official status and timeline with regard to her present standing in the Catholic Church:

  1. The cause of her beatification is proceeding uninterrupted;
  2. The diocesan process was concluded in 2005 and her cause passed to Rome, which opened their investigation in 2006;
  3. Two priest-censors librorum appointed by the Holy See to read Luisa’s writings concluded their examinations in mid-2010 and declared their approval of her writings. They additionally declared that no errors had been found in relation to faith and morals.

For those who wish to learn more about Luisa Piccarreta and the Gift of Living in the Divine Will, please be referred to the over 700-page critical dissertation with the same name written by the Rev. Joseph Iannuzzi, S. T. D. The dissertation was approved and released by the Pontifical Gregorian University (Gregoriana) in Rome, Italy.
