Well since I'm descended from the Merovingians, it might be in one of my cousins' basements. I'll ask around and see if anyone has seen it.

I don't remember her being in Monty Python...

Not sure what to make of it. Makes for a good story. :) How do we know her vision wasn't a metaphor or symbolism, much like Revelation?

I'm not sure. I havent read all of her works.

Metaphors and symbols are figures of speech. The way in which she describes her visions is plain, and straightforward, in sort of a first person narrative style, as if she were present at the events she describes.

It is a private revelation though, so obviously it doesnt hold the weight of dogma or doctrine.

I'm not sure, but I'm hoping you know this. I know that her writings on the Passion were disregarded when her file went forward for sainthood because they were deemed to be anti-Semitic (and therefore would disqualify her for sainthood) but they felt like that was due to her translator and not her. Did they also put aside her holy grail visions, or were they included in her packet? That would certainly make a difference in the weight I would give them.

My understanding is that her works were set aside when considering her beautification since the process is based on who one is and if one has lived virtue heroically and to a high degree, and not on what one writes.

Her works have been personally promoted by Popes and Bishops, if not directly at least indirectly. As far as I know there is no official temporal decision by the Magisterium concerning her works. Therefore people have to decide for themselves.

As far as anti-semitic remarks in the "Dolorous Passion" I personally havent seen any, but I havent read it in its entirety yet.
