| | Marian apparitions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Not all claims of visitations are dealt with favourably by the Catholic Church. | | | At most the Church will declare an apparition as worthy of belief, but belief is never required. | | | The behavior of the women who claimed these heavenly favors was deemed not to compare favorably with the "quiet pragmatism" of Bernadette Soubirous—Church authorities are said to use Bernadette as a model by which to judge all who purport to have visitations. |

| | Marian Apparitions |
| | Marian apparitions are not accepted as articles of faith, and only those deemed by the church to be authentic are celebrated. | | | The apparitions tend to be apocalyptic in nature with Mary exhorting people to prayer and righteous living and in the building of churches in her honor. | | | Corporeal and incorporeal apparitions are mentioned in both the old and new testament of the bible. |

| | Marian Apparitions of the 20th Century |
| | In general, studied apparitions are classed as "not worthy of belief", "not contrary to the Faith", or "worthy of belief". | | | The approval of an apparition's supernatural character means that the case cannot be explained away due to an impediment in the visionary, nor as fraud, nor as a natural phenomenon, nor of demonic origin. | | | Besides the 8 approved apparitions, there have been 11 (out of the 386 apparitions) which have not been approved with a "supernatural character", but which have received a "yes" to indicate the local bishop's "approval of faith expression (prayer and devotion) at the site". |

| | The Marian Apparitions: Divine Intervention or Delusion? |
| | Marian ecumenists believe that the Virgin is bringing an ecumenical message at Zeitoun and Medjugorje and that as mother of the entire human family she has a special role to play as a centre of unity and reconciler of quarrelsome children, so to speak. | | | The Coptic Church recognized the apparitions as true appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as did the Coptic Catholic Church, the Greek Catholic Church, and the then Head of the Evangelical Church and Speaker on behalf of all the Protestant Churches of Egypt. | | | The parish priest declared the Lady to be the Blessed Virgin; the apparitions were later approved by the Bishop of Grenoble, and pilgrimages began. |

| | Thus we have eight major modern apparitions of Mary, which have been recognised by the Church and are generally acknowledged to be the most important and trustworthy Marian apparitions. | | | Archbishop Bertone, the Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, reiterated the 1991 report of the Yugoslav bishops, although he acknowledged that provision had to be made for those who came as private pilgrims. | | | If after ten years of alleged apparitions there was no evidence for the supernatural, then it is safe to say that we must be dealing with phenomena, which are not of the same kind as those, which occurred at Lourdes or Fatima. |

| | Mary's apparitions can be a means of the Church to confirm in the faith, to assure of her presence and maternal protection, particularly at certain times of history in which there is need to reinforce faith and hope. | | | In this interview with ZENIT, Discalced Carmelite Father Jesús Castellano Cervera, a consultor for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and professor at the Pontifical Theological Faculty Teresianum, reflects on the reasons for Marian apparitions and the mechanisms of the Church to confirm their veracity. | | | Father Castellano Cervera: On one hand, authentic apparitions have as their theological significance the living presence of Christ in the Church. |

| | Other reported Marian apparitions have received a degree of Church approval that goes beyond the usual negative approval, i.e., that it is not contrary to faith and morals. | | | Although the general faithful are called to give only an assent of human faith, it is also theologically held that the visionary and any others intimately connected with the revelation may and should accept the revelation with the assent of divine faith. | | | The general criteria used by the Church in evaluating a reported Marian apparition can be divided into these three categories: 1) the revealed message content; 2) the nature of ecstasy and other concurring phenomena; and 3) the spiritual fruits. |

| | Marian apparitions are proliferating throughout the world and, even in the Muslim nations, Mary is now considered "a messenger from God." Some Evangelical leaders, such as Pat Robertson and Francis Frangipane, have referred to the Marian apparitions as "manifestations from God," leading their followers to put faith in these signs and lying wonders. | | | After the apparition, the visionaries mentioned that the Holy Virgin planned to speak to them in the evening on MT Krizevac. | | | Part II of the Marian visions says that Rome will be destroyed; Rev. 18 also states that Mystery Babylon will be destroyed in one day when the Beast turns against the Harlot Church. |

There are only a few apparitions of Mary that have been given this status. | | | During the last apparition common to all the children, crowds gathered; around 70,000 people sloshed through the mud caused by the heavy rains that had fallen all night to see the promise fulfilled. |
