Yesterday, Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register reported that the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), Cardinal Victor Fernandez, is finalizing a new document that will provide updated guidelines for discerning apparitions and other supernatural phenomena. If true, Pentin says that this forthcoming publication will be the first major Vatican statement dealing with miracles and supernatural events since a 2001 document from the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments entitled, “Directory on popular piety and the liturgy: Principles and guidelines.”
