What's Up With Faustina's Divine Mercy Devotion (2)? Another Approach For Getting To The Truth + + + Do you care about truth? If so, don't miss this interesting second installment of 'What's Up With Faustina's Divine Mercy Devotion?' This volume is particularly designed for... 1. Sincere, good-hearted devotees of Faustina's 'Divine Mercy' devotion (those genuinely confident the devotion is from God should, in their charity, be willing to provide concrete, factual & sensible answers to questions) 2. Those who already find Faustina's 'Divine Mercy' devotion to be problematic (e.g. to strengthen them and to assist them in discussions with devotees) The publication contains various facts & quotes, plus thousands of questions in more than 100 groupings, including questions regarding issues in Faustina's diary related to... * False prophecies * Contradictions * Uncharacteristic behavior * Questionable events * Etc. For example, this volume contains the following questions... * How can her 'vision' actually be of the Lord Jesus Christ if things the 'vision' said never came true? * And why would Faustina - who tells us frequently how she is favored by God - "constantly" smell like a corpse BEFORE she died? * Why is it that a term which doesn't find its way into Scripture at all, but so clearly fits into Faustina's speech patterns, is allegedly uttered by God in the same manner in which Faustina herself uses it? * Why do the focus and message of Fatima and Faustina's focus & message differ so much even though they were both so close in time? Why would Jesus & Mary not be 'on the same page' in both apparitions? * Which version of Jesus is safer to trust, Jesus as portrayed in Holy Scripture or the depiction of Jesus provided by a nun who - as admitted by her 'biggest champion' - is "frequently" unable to distinguish between her imagination and reality? * And what exactly can be achieved on this annual mercy feast that cannot be achieved on any other day by making a good Confession and gaining a plenary indulgence? * You believe God actually needed significantly more words from Faustina to convince of His mercy than all the Gospel writers combined needed to tell us about the entire life, death & resurrection of Jesus, not to mention informing us about His mission and activities while on earth? * How can a message of mercy supposedly from Jesus fail to emphasize the means of obtaining mercy that He Himself gave us in the Sacrament of Penance? * How can a devotion promoting mercy bring with it the threat of a new & previously unheard of 'mortal sin'? * How can Faustina's writings be relied upon when they contain contradictions, errors, and false prophecies? * How can we be sure the voices or words in Faustina's head are God's, rather than her own? * How is it that Faustina can receive so many extraordinary praises and honors from God and make so few comments in response? * Wouldn't you expect a 'great Catholic mystic' to get their prophecies and doctrine correct? * Couldn't one also make the case that Faustina's writings portray a God who is LESS merciful than the one the Church has always taught us about? Note that the publication contains much content which appeared in the first volume on the same topic (ISBN: 1521701113), although it may be 'geared differently' in the present publication.
