Wow. Them folks take themselves pretty seriously. Interesting to think that these are the same people with no small amount of influence over our nation's laws regarding social issues.

If only the Catholic Church took God as seriously as they take themselves...

I find it intriguing that it excludes the possibility of appearances of the Virgin to Protestants.

Greg, can you tell me why the catholic church teaches that you MUST go through a bishop, cardinal or some other person to get to talk to God? :confused:

Because they believe the Bible. God appointed, apostles, prophets and bishops.

Does this mean they are going to disallow the outline of the Virgin Mary on the floor that seeped out of a used condom??

No *WONDER* they kept it in Latin all these years, till now.
 
People would belaughing like hell, and exclaiming "Jesus H Christ in a Men's Wherehouse Suit !!!!!!! " @ this:

.... last December that was published only recently on the Vatican website.

The norms mandate that the local bishop must conduct a “serious investigation” to ascertain, with “at least great probability,” whether the Marian apparition effectively took place.

The rules also require an evaluation of the “personal qualities” of the alleged seer, including his or her “psychological equilibrium,” “rectitude of moral life” and “docility towards Ecclesiastical Authority.” The contents of the “revelation” must be “immune” from theological error, and the apparition must bear “abundant... spiritual fruit,” such as conversions.

The authenticity of the vision should be rejected if, among other factors, the alleged seer shows “psychological disorder” or “evidence of a search for profit."
