Description

“Occasionally phenomena occur that seem to exceed the bounds of ordinary experiences and present themselves as having a supernatural origin (such as alleged apparitions, visions, interior or exterior locutions, writings or messages, phenomena related to religious images, and psychophysical phenomena).… Since news of these events can spread very quickly, the pastors of the Church are responsible for handling these phenomena with care by recognising their fruits, purifying them of negative elements, or warning the faithful about potential dangers arising from them (cf. 1 Jn 4:1).” (6)
