John Leary, Rochester, New York, U.S.A. 1993 – Present

Status: Established as Not Supernatural (Constat de Non Supernaturalitate)

Episcopal Remarks: “The Commission is convinced that you are sincere in your affirmation that these are supernatural (locutions), that you are psychologically healthy and that you have not perpetrated a fraud on the community…Nevertheless, they are persuaded that you have mistaken the normal workings of the mind in the processes of mental prayer for supernatural locutions." (Bishop Mathew H. Clark, Diocese of Rochester, Regarding The Messages of John Leary, June 25, 2000); “the ‘locutions’ are human in origin, not divine” (ibid); “ A preface must be included in all newly printed or reprinted material, such warning the readers that the material contains a number of doctrinal errors.” (ibid)

Corroboration by Other Seers: Supported by Josyp Terelya; The onset of his revelations were associated with his visit to Medjugorje

Biographical Information: John Leary –a retired Kodak chemist -lives near Rochester, New York. He is a father and grandfather in his 50's. He has both a spiritual director and a pastor who confirm that he is emotionally balanced and a Roman Catholic in good standing. John has attended daily Mass and received Holy Communion every day since he was 17 years old, excepting sickness. He has been receiving messages from Jesus and Mary since his 1993 trip to Medjugorje. Described as a Visionary, prolific author, and popular public speaker, he is noteworthy for introducing Protestant chiliastic and apocalyptic themes into the mainstream of popular Catholic apocalypticism. ¹ Leary has claimed that his locutions warn of the coming of the anti-Christ, a political leader who will forge an alliance with the next pope. According to Leary’s diaries, this pope — whom Leary calls a false pope — will replace Pope John Paul II after the current pontiff is exiled. Leary writes that the false pope will undermine church teachings and support persecution of religious and political opponents of the anti-Christ’s regime. ² Apart from them being detailed in public talks his messages fill 13 volumes on the last count since he started receiving them in 1993. This website hosts 7 of the latest volumes (see below)
