Catholics/Jakob Lorber

Question
I wonder because the article about this man is apologetic.
It is written by the Lorber's adepts.
Jakob Lorber's doctrin is in fact gnose, millenarism, esoterism, channeling, quite apocalytic, materie is Satan, reincarnation is possible, there are scientifics contradictions (men, animals and water on the Moon and Saturn)and they are involved in holistic or alternativ medecin (krebs aids) . The movement, whitch make publicity on internet for him, is considered as special community or sect/cult.
The books of Lorber ware at index in 1963, I know the Index has been critiezed, but I say that because the Lorberianers try to give everybody the impression that Lorber received a "privat revelation" like there are some in Katolic official church.
Please look what is said by wikipedia under "critik". It is in german but you can use the google translator for this page.

   I am not sure what your question is. The Catholic Church acknowledge there is such thing as Private Revelation. However, it never adds to or conflicts with Public Revelation (Sacred Scripture and Tradition) entrusted to the Church established by Christ.
   Also it should be noted not all Private Revelation is not of God, therefore not all is approved by the Church.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
