Rome, May 19, 2024 – In a landmark development, the Vatican has unveiled updated norms for evaluating alleged supernatural phenomena, including apparitions, visions, and other miraculous events. These revised guidelines, set to take effect today on the Solemnity of Pentecost, aim to streamline the discernment process while safeguarding the spiritual well-being of the faithful.

Listening to the Spirit

The new norms emphasize the divine freedom of the Holy Spirit in guiding the Church. They acknowledge that while God’s actions often transcend human understanding, it is crucial to discern the authenticity of such events with both rigor and openness.

Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, presented the norms, stating, “God is always present in human history and never stops bestowing his gifts of grace upon us through the workings of the Holy Spirit. These new norms are a way to ensure that the Church remains attentive to this loving presence while protecting the faithful from deception.”

A Rigorous Yet Open Process

The updated guidelines replace the 1978 norms, which were deemed inadequate due to lengthy delays in decision-making. The new procedures involve a comprehensive approach, with input from theologians, canonists, and scientific experts to thoroughly evaluate supernatural claims.

Key Highlights of the New Norms:

• Six Prudential Conclusions: The discernment process can result in various conclusions, ranging from “Nihil Obstat” (no obstacles) to “Declaratio de non supernaturalitate” (declaration of non-supernatural origin).
• Detailed Procedures: The norms outline a step-by-step process for investigating alleged supernatural events, ensuring thorough and balanced evaluations.
• Pastoral Approach: Bishops are encouraged to appreciate and promote genuine spiritual phenomena while addressing any potential risks associated with them.

Historical Context and Modern Challenges

The need for revised norms became evident as the 1978 guidelines often resulted in delays spanning several decades. The revised norms aim to prevent such protracted discernments by providing a clearer, quicker path to understanding the authenticity of supernatural claims.

The norms also address modern challenges, including the rapid spread of information through digital media and the increasing global nature of these phenomena. They stress the importance of collaboration between diocesan bishops and the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith to ensure consistent and timely evaluations.

“In our modern world, phenomena rarely remain within the boundaries of one city or Diocese,” noted Cardinal Fernández. “These norms ensure that the Church can respond promptly and effectively, maintaining clarity and unity among the faithful.”

Protecting the Faithful

The updated norms are designed to protect the faithful from potential doctrinal errors, exploitation, and manipulation. They provide a structured framework for bishops to discern and address alleged supernatural events, ensuring that any approved devotion aligns with the teachings of the Church.

Moving Forward

As the new norms take effect, they mark a significant step forward in the Church’s approach to supernatural phenomena. They promise a more transparent and efficient discernment process, balancing openness to divine action with a commitment to doctrinal integrity and the spiritual welfare of the faithful.
