I think Fr. Ivo and others would do well to heed the following excerpts from
the authoritative 1998 decree of the concerned Archbishop regarding the
fraudulent miracles of this mystic called Julia Kim:
EXCERPTS FROM ARCHBISHOP'S SOLEMN DECREE AGAINST JULIA KIM'S "MIRACLES"
"1.2. The phenomenon alleged as a miracle of the Eucharist fallen from heaven
is contradictory to the doctrine of the Catholic Church that only through the
priest's consecration does the sacrament of the Eucharist begin to exist (cf.
Catechism de l'Eglise Catholique 1411: DS. 902) even though the priest is in
grave sin, because when all the sacraments are justly celebrated in accordance
with the intention of the Church(ex opere operato), Christ and His holy Spirit
operate in them (cf. Catechism de l'Eglise Catholique 1128: DS. 793-794).
Furthermore, the alleged phenomenon that as soon as Mrs. Julia Youn received
the Eucharist, it was changed into a lump of bloody flesh in her mouth is also
contrary to the doctrine of the Catholic Church that even after the bread and
wine are transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ with the formula
of priests' consecration, the species of bread and wine remain (cf. Pope Paul
Ⅵ's mysterium Fidei: DS. 782,
802, 1321, 1640-1642, 1652). Such phenomena do not function as signs enhancing
the faithful's belief in the Eucharist existing under the species of bread and
wine. On the contrary, they seem to act as an element which, causes a great
confusion, and embarrasses the believers faith in the Eucharist."
"2. I, the Archbishop of Kwangju Archdiocese, as an authentic teacher of the
faith and the legitimate shepherd sincerely ask all the priests, the religious
and the faithful in the diocese and those who are involved in "the events
arising in Naju" to receive these pastoral instructions in the spirit of
obedience to the authentic teaching authority.
2.1. For the sake of one's personal interest in the alleged disturbing
phenomena like "the events arising in Naju" to consider and insist on them as
supernatural is regarded as an act breaking the unity of the Church's faith. So
publication or dissemination of all materials for propaganda relating to "the
events arising in Naju" (like printed or published literature, audio/video
tapes, photos, etc.) is officially forbidden (cf. Canon Law 823, 1), and it is
also my request to refrain from reading and seeing the relevant documentation."
"on the 1th January 1998,
Solemnity of Mary the holy Mother of God
Signed
Archbishop of Kwangju Victorinus K. Youn"
