@andrew24157 So now your argument has shifted from, "Hey, this SOUNDS bad so lets all assume the worst", to "Hey, this artwork is good, but if you try to imagine artwork depicting this other thing it would be bad and full of carnal sensuality".
Are you for real? Are you really basing your argument on what you think a depiction of a certain subject in art
might look like?
I don't even know what you're talking about in respect to the ages of Our Lord in the paintings. What does that have to do with anything? What do the paintings themselves have to do with anything? What do the paintings matter in a discussion on the morality or theology of an alleged apparition?
"Piccarreta and Faustina do not measure up to those saints with their carnal desires full of sensuality (the beginning of all sins according to God the Eternal Father)" - rather, it is you who is projecting carnal sensuality where it does not belong. Get your head out of the gutter. There are numerous metaphors of nursing from breasts throughout the Bible, and not just babies.
Different saints, especially women, were known to have a wide array of relationships with Our Lord. Some saints, such as those in the paintings you've displayed, had a relationship akin to something like marriage. Other saints, such as Therese of Liseux, had a relationship that she described as being more a toy for the Child Jesus to play with. Other female saints notably took more of a role of mother for Him, and if Luisa Piccarreta is in Heaven, she would be among these (based strictly on this one line). Other female saints (and male saints) had more of a role of consoler. Different saints were called to different relationships with Him. And that's a good thing. That does not mean that any single one of them are as high in Heaven as is the Blessed Virgin Mary. All it means is that He wants something different from each of us, and that's a teaching that has been around since the Old Testament, and continued through the last 2000 years.
"Piccarreta wanted to be so close to her "Jesus" that she wanted to be touched by him in a very improper way" - Actually, in the example with Catherine of Siena, though she may have been inspired by Our Lord toward this thought, in her writing it came from her. The attitude was something along the lines of "What a wonderful ring that would have made!" On the contrary, the line in the writings of Piccarreta regarding Our Lord feeding from her breasts did not come from her (allegedly), but from Our Lord - it was His words and not hers - at least that's the context of what was said.
"He considers this a sin, an original sin" - That's not how the dogma of Original Sin works.
"Yes, I understand if one is swayed by demonic apparitions, etc., do you think is not a sin? I do. It is a mortal sin, I believe, that's why there are so many "apparitions."" - So, I take it that English is not your first language. Unfortunately I think we're losing a lot in this discussion because you're not understanding what I'm saying, and with lines like this I'm really not sure what you mean. Is it a mortal sin to be swayed by demonic apparitions? No, surely not, unless you know it's a demonic apparition and let yourself be swayed. You might then say that you're trying to inform people so they are NOT swayed by demonic apparitions, but you are guilty of rash judgement. It is not up to you to determine if this is demonic or not. In fact, in Christian charity, you have a duty to assume that the breastfeeding line is NOT meant in an erotic way. Yet you assume the opposite. You assume the worst not just of any action of Luisa Piccarreta, but of her intentions and of the state of her soul. Christians cannot judge in that way. She did not live through the modernism that we have today, and that all of us suffer from.
"I will not put my eternal life in jeopardy by believing in something very suspicious." - I honestly don't know what you think is so suspicious. You have posted one or two lines that you have big issues with because you read them in the worst possible way.
I will not put my eternal life in jeopardy by means of rash judgement and general accusations over a matter that I really don't know enough about. I will, however, defend others against irrational and rash accusations. If you have something legitimate to accuse her of, then bring it forth, but don't rely on arguments like, "here guys, this sounds really bad, doesn't it?".
