Do you know of any issues with “Anne” from Direction for our times”? Some catholic groups I am aware of have backed away from supporting her messages but I do not know why.
All I know is that Sr. Briege McKenna and Fr. Kevin Scallon have withdrawn their support of it. Also, the thing seems to be hugely popular with fans of Medjugorje, which raises red flags with me. But I haven’t followed it. I tend to be allergic to voluble and talkative mystics who claim to be channeling advice from Jesus and our Lady. I know the thing happens sometimes. But extremely popular mystics who are actually the real thing are rare as hen’s teeth. Give me the extremely unpopular mystic. And I don’t like the anonymity thing either. So my advice is, “Keep clear of it.” But that’s just me.
