!?
Christina Gallagher, Achill Ireland (1988 – to present day )
NOT
APPROVED – DECLARED 'NOT SUPERNATURAL'
From 'Aparition Site Reviews' - “1996
Michael Neary, Archbishop of Tuam, established a commission to
investigate the House of Prayer. A year later, he issued a statement
saying, "I find
myself obliged to state that no evidence has been presented which
might prove beyond reasonable doubt the occurrence of supernatural
phenomena of whatever kind in this situation." Although
he found no evidence of the supernatural, Archbishop Neary allowed
the House of Prayer to remain open, asking that a private association
be established to deal with the disposition of funds.
In response to the
Archbishop's request, Christina issued a statement to the press
stating that she had been 'harshly treated' by the Archdiocese and
planned to close the House of Prayer. In order to clarify this issue,
Archbishop Neary issued another statement stating that he wanted to
"gradually integrate the work of the House of Prayer into the
life of Achill Parish and the Archdiocese," but because he had
become "increasingly perturbed by an apparent absence of
enthusiasm" concerning Christian's willingness to cooperate, he
concluded his statement by saying, "The House of Prayer has no
Church approval and the work does not
enjoy the confidence of the diocesan authorities."
Shortly after
Christina announced the closure, the House of Prayer reopened and has
expanded its operations to several other locations in the United
States. Upon receiving this news, the Bishop for the Diocese of
Austin, Gregory Aymond, issued the following warning: "Our Lady
Queen of Peace House of Prayer, scheduled to open on June 23, 2006 in
Leander, is doing so
without approval.
It should not
be considered as sanctioned by the Catholic Church.
The house of prayer is associated with Mrs. Christian Gallagher of
the Tuam Archdiocese in Ireland. The Tuam Archdiocese does not
recommend her or the House of Prayer as credible."

NOTE: according to the Council of Chalcedon (451 AD) - "Religious
and laity who run monasteries, martyrs' shrines or almshouses who do
not obey the local bishop's authority." are commiting an offence that is
EXCOMMUNICABLE. (Subject to Excommunication.)
This is why submitting to the local bishop's authority is one of the key points the Church examines in determining when a visionary is real or not.
So,
Christina Gallagher was resisting the instructions of her local
Archbishop that were based on Canon law on how the House of Prayer should be operated: "The model of existence and operation which I had hoped Mrs. Gallagher
would adopt for her work was that of the Private Association of the
Christian Faithful, the most basic and flexible model of association
presently available in Canon Law." (Archbishop of Tuam, source, EWTN.com)
Not only was the House of Prayer in Achill then running without official permission, she began opening
houses of prayer elsewhere without formal approval from the Church,
which means disobedience, not a good sign in a mystic, and, there is
no formal Church acknowledgement of anything supernatural – meaning,
an unfavourable decision so far, and as far as I am aware, this
declaration still has not been reversed. The clergy are duty-bound
under obedience to not promote a seer under these circumstances.
Any priest who does is being disobedient.
In addition to these declarations, personally, the one thing that tells me something is 'off' about Christina
Gallagher's message is that her visions promote a specific 'seal' or
prayer of protection for the chastisements – and that unless you
are sealed by her house of prayer seal etc, by a certain date, you
won't be protected. Also, that her Houses of Prayer are the ONLY placces you can get it?
She later claimed that the time to receive the Seal would
end in July of 2001: Quote: “ 'That message made it very clear that the time of
the Seal will be over next July (July 16th, 2001), and Our Lady has
asked that many people come to the House with open hearts, and bring
many others there also, to receive the gift of the Seal of the Living
God,' Christina said.”
If there is a seal meant to be given out, the Book of the Apocalypse describes the Seal as being given out by the Angels of God throughout the world. Her claim that one had to go to her House of Prayer to receive the Seal is contradicted by the Bible.

Not only that, this means her vision
was the only one that offered 'THE' means protect yourself
from the coming chastisements, and for a limited time only!? What about the important list of warning signs,
the blessed beeswax candles and sacramentals of protection the other approved
mystics have mentioned? What about all the people who might have
just heard her message in later years after the specific time when we were
all supposed to receive the seal?
We've all just missed the deadline then,
that would cause despair and could prevent people from preparing
properly. Of, if they believe in the unapproved visions of Achill, to their
detriment they may be falsely led into thinking they don't need to
follow the advice of the other approved mystics if they got this 'seal' in time. This exclusivity to
Achill House of Prayer 'Seal' of protection is very suspicious. When you have a
'visionary' telling you that they are the only one that can offer
protection and we're all doomed if we don't get it, despite what all the other approved messages say, etc,
then something is very wrong.
Also, her messages are theologically incorrect in places, and, she claims ´The' Antichrist is already born here on earth since 1995, ´not a precursor, when according to approved mystics and saints, we know the Antichrist won't be born on earth until about the time the Great Monarch appears and brings the 25-30 year reign of peace, the Antichrist comes to rule after the Age of Peace, and we haven't even seen the Great Monarch arrive with his armies yet to restore France.
Therefore
her visions are not in the Timeline.
