"As you can see, “it is supernatural” is now removed; the “best” conclusion is now “nihil obstat;” i.e., nothing obstructs. Here is how the docuмent describes it:[/font][/size][/color]

17. Nihil obstat – Without expressing any certainty about the supernatural authenticity of the phenomenon itself, many signs of the action of the Holy Spirit are acknowledged “in the midst”[18] of a given spiritual experience, and no aspects that are particularly critical or risky have been detected, at least so far.

The remaining five conclusions that a Bishop may come to, regarding an apparition, are each in their own way at least somewhat negative. The sixth option remains the same as the traditional third; “22. Declaratio de non supernaturalitate – In this situation, the Dicastery authorizes the Diocesan Bishop to declare that the phenomenon is found to be not supernatural.”

Although the docuмent of course does not say this bluntly, the take-away nevertheless seems clear enough to me: Bishops are encouraged to move against apparitions as quickly as possible, and they now have five separate ways of doing so; provided in hopes that they will feel comfortable with at least one of them. At the same time, they are reminded that they lack any real authority of their own here; their job is merely to do the grunt work of investigating apparitions, then submit their work to the Vatican, who can then graciously allow them to give some sort of a negative judgment or, at best (and I’m sure this will be exceedingly rare), give a “nihil obstat.”

Many recent messages–that I am quite confident in the authenticity of–have warned that the Devil will soon act, in the Church, against the plans of God. I am not accusing this Vatican docuмent of heresy and I am not saying it is directly opposed to God. But what I am concerned about is that it will be used for precisely this purpose; used for putting an end to all these pesky prophets through whom God calls the Church to holiness and faithfulness, not to worldliness and “synodality.”

Indeed, the men in the Vatican today generally do not want to hear the message of the prophets."

This is yet another directive to be tossed in the bin.  A cursory glance tells you there’s no need of reading it. 

It's always better to know what the enemy of our Faith is up to. They are trying to get rid of Fatima and other approved apparitions which warn us of the great apostasy in the Church.

I don't have time for yet another grifter, without any qualifications to discuss the matters at hand -- and, sorry, but his name sounds too much like Stein for my comfort.
