Vatican Conference Promotes Mystical Subjectivism Over Catholic Doctrine
Vatican News portal reports (11 November 2025) on a conference titled “Mysticism, Mystical Phenomena, and Holiness” organized by the “Dicastery for the Causes of Saints” at the Pontifical Urban University. The event featured “Cardinal” Víctor Manuel Fernández and other speakers advocating for the normalization of private revelations while minimizing the Church’s doctrinal authority. The report celebrates “the free action of the Spirit” manifested in “mysticism open to all,” framing these experiences as a “therapeutic path” for modern humanity’s alleged “loss of sensitivity toward God.”
