Vatican cracks down on 'supernatural' occurrences in new apparition rules
Rome — May
17, 2024
In a new crackdown aimed to prevent scams, hoaxes and heresies, the Vatican has updated its guidelines for reviewing apparitions, visions and alleged revelations, and reaffirmed that only a pope could formally deem something to be "supernatural."
Lionel: Pope
Francis interprets Vatican Council II and the Nicene, Apostles and Athanasius
Creed with heretical and schismatic Cushingism. There are now two
interpretations of all the Catechisms in the Catholic Church – Feeneyism and
Cushingism.Pope Francis chooses an irrational premise and inference, instead of
a rational one, to produce an artificial break with Tradition. If he chose the
rational premise and inference his conclusion would be traditional. The whole
Church would return to Tradition immediately.So he is unethical when he chooses the fake premise to interpret Vatican Council II and he is to judge if an apparition is supernatural.

The
document, "Norms for Proceeding in the Discernment of
Alleged Supernatural Phenomena," was released by the
Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on May 17. It tasks bishops
with investigating such cases, but mandates that they receive Vatican approval
before ruling on the validity of alleged supernatural events.
Lionel: For over
eight years there was no disapprova l of the apparitions of Our Lady at
Trevignon, Italy. But when Our Lady allegedly told the visionary Cardia that
Covid comes from China, it was manufactured there, there have been prohibitions
placed on the visionary.
The visionary
also says that Jesus is the only Saviour of the world and not one of the
saviours. This has not been the clear
message of the Vatican.
_____________________
The guidelines
outline six potential conclusions that may be reached and that even the highest
level of approval from the Vatican office — Nihil obstat ("nothing
hinders") — does not express certainty about the event itself, but grants
permission for the bishop to promote its pastoral value.
Lionel: In Brazil
at an apparition site, Our Lady told the visionary that outside the Catholic
Church there is no salvation. The apparitions were approved by the bishop. Then a new bishop
was appointed who placed a prohibition on the visionary.
_______________________
The new rules,
which have been in development since 2019, replace the Vatican's 1978 norms,
which were kept secret until 2011. The Vatican has historically exercised great
caution in giving its seal of approval to supposed supernatural occurrences;
the revisions require increased scrutiny and mandate sign-off from Rome before
a bishop can rule on a particular case.
The update comes
at a time when social media has led to an explosion of new claims of supposed
apparitions or visions — including Jesus appearing on food and weeping statues of the Virgin Mary — and
at a moment when even traditional Catholic devotions, such as Our Lady of
Fatima, have become increasingly politicized and the source of
seemingly endless conspiracy theories.
Lionel: At Fatima,
Our Lady spoke about Hell as being one of the secrets of modern time. Pope
Francis does not speak about a Hell which has a lake of fire.

While the document
affirms that there have been historical cases where spiritual phenomena have
led to spiritual flourishing — consider devotions to Our Lady of Guadalupe or
Our Lady of Lourdes, which have received approval from the church — it also
acknowledges that many claims have led to confusion or even harm.
"There are
serious critical issues that are detrimental to the faithful; in these
situations, the Church must respond with utmost pastoral solicitude,"
wrote Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, head of the Vatican's doctrinal office,
in the introduction to the new norms.
Lionel: Cardinal
Victor Fernandes interprets Vatican Council II and the Catechism of the
Catholic Church irrationally and then justifies changes in faith and morals.
Sole pulsare! Mezzo di sole e la striscia

"In
particular, I am thinking of the use of such phenomenon to gain 'profit, power,
fame, social recognition, or other personal interest," he continued,
"even possibly extending to the commission of gravely immoral acts or the
use of these phenomena 'as a means of or pretext for exerting control over
people or carrying out abuses.' "
In assessing the
spiritual authenticity of such claims, the May 17 guidelines — which were
approved last month by Pope Francis and officially take effect on May 19 —
stresses the need to have quick and clear rulings that involve collaboration
between local bishops and the Vatican's doctrinal office in order to avoid
confusion.
