In accordance with new Vatican norms on alleged supernatural phenomena, an Italian bishop has given his"nihil obstat" acknowledging the pastoral and spiritual value of devotion to Our Lady of the Mystical Rose of Montichiari and allowing for any eventual pilgrimages to related sites in his diocese.By Carol Glatz, Catholic News Service
"The faithful are authorized to give their adhesion in a prudent manner," the bishop wrote in his decree. However, the decree is not a declaration recognizing the supernatural origin or character of the alleged events, and the faithful are not obliged to believe in them, he added. The first was a statement issued on June 27 in which the dicastery verified the judgment of Bishop Marco Salvi of Civita Castellano who declared in March that alleged apparitions in Trevignano Romano, Italy, were not supernatural. The dicastery also confirmed the bishop's prohibition of devotions and pilgrimages in places associated with the alleged events in his diocese.
In the letter to Bishop Tremolada dated July 5, the prefect of the dicastery, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, said the main purpose of the norms was no longer to establish the supernatural character of alleged phenomenon but to come up with a"doctrinal-pastoral evaluation" based on"the fruits" of the devotion.
