From Aleteia:
The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith — the “guardian of dogma” in the Catholic Church — will soon publish a document on “various Marian themes.” The dicastery’s prefect, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, made the announcement to journalists on July 3, 2025. This text will clarify the new norms for studying supernatural phenomena in the Catholic Church, promulgated in May 2024.
For over a year, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) has been evaluating numerous cases of mystical phenomena — apparitions, revelations, etc. — in light of a new, stricter method of investigation. At the end of the investigation, the Holy See may declare that a fact is not supernatural — but never the opposite — or grant it a nihil obstat (“nothing stands in the way”) after finding that the fact bears good fruit and does not involve any negative aspects.
