New Vatican Document , Urges Caution Over , Supernatural Events.
Reuters reports that the Vatican has issued new
guidelines regarding supernatural events, including
weeping Madonnas and crucifixes dripping blood.
.
The new guidelines replace rules
first put in place back in 1978.
.
According to the Vatican's doctrinal office (DFF),
supernatural incidents should be assessed cautiously,
as they could be fraudulent or exploited for financial gain.
According to the Vatican's doctrinal office (DFF),
supernatural incidents should be assessed cautiously,
as they could be fraudulent or exploited for financial gain.
The discernment may also deal
with problems, such as delicts
(wrongdoing), manipulation,
damage to the unity of the Church,
undue financial gain, and serious
doctrinal errors that could cause
scandals and undermine
the credibility of the Church, Vatican DDF document, via Reuters.
Supernatural incidents have often
become the basis for Catholic
shrines and pilgrimages.
.
These incidents include "stigmata," which are crucifixion wounds appearing on the hands and feet of Jesus appearing on saintly people or statues.
Reuters reports that the DDF document
suggests that in such cases bishops
should issue a "nihil obstat.".
Nihil obstat essentially allows for worship,
while leaving the issue open for the Vatican
to determine if it is "supernatural" in nature.
.
The document stresses that the purported supernatural
events at the heart of many places of pilgrimage
have not been authenticated by the Vatican.
An example of this would be the Bosnian shrine
of Medjugorje, where multiple apparitions of
the Virgin Mary have been reported since 1981.

Pope Francis Accused of , Repeating Homophobic Slur.
Last month, Pope Francis used an offensive word
to describe gay men while in a closed-door
meeting with bishops, NBC News reports.
After the news got out, the Vatican issued
an apology "to those who were offended.".
As he has had the opportunity to state
on several occasions, 'In the Church
there is room for everyone, for
everyone! No one is useless, no one
is superfluous, there is room for
everyone. Just as we are, everyone.', Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, via statement.
The pope never intended to
offend or express himself in
homophobic terms, and he
extends his apologies to those
who were offended by the use
of a term, reported by others, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, via statement.
According to Italian news agency ANSA,
the pope used the homophobic slur again in
another meeting with Roman priests on June 11. .
He allegedly used the word while suggesting that gay men should not be allowed in seminaries but should be welcome in the Catholic Church.
When asked to comment, the
Vatican referred to a previous statement
it made regarding the latest meeting.
The statement highlighted the pope's desire to welcome "people with homosexual tendencies,".
while exercising caution
"regarding their entry into the seminary.".

Pope Francis Uses Offensive Slur , for Gay Men.
Last week, the pope used a derogatory term to refer to gay men in a closed-door meeting with bishops, two sources tell NBC News.
They were reportedly
debating the issue of allowing gay men
to train in seminaries to become priests.
That's when Francis used the offensive Italian term to express his opposition to the idea.
His comments left many shocked, considering his previous statements depicting a more welcoming nature toward the LGBTQ+ community. .
On May 28, the Vatican
apologized "to those who were offended.".
The church said Francis was "aware of articles that recently came out about a conversation, behind closed doors, with the bishops.".
As he has had the opportunity to state on
several occasions, 'In the Church there is room
for everyone, for everyone! No one is useless,
no one is superfluous, there is room for
everyone. Just as we are, everyone.', Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, via statement.
The pope never intended to offend or
express himself in homophobic terms,
and he extends his apologies to those
who were offended by the use of
a term, reported by others, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, via statement.
'Corriere della Sera,' an Italian newspaper, quoted several sources who suggest that the pope may not have understood just how offensive the term is.
Since he's a nonnative Italian speaker, the comment was likely "a gaffe on the part of the pope, rather than a slur," according to reporter Gerry O'Connell
