In regards to Our Lady of America and the recent Vacitan Document on approving apparitions I would appreciate your thoughts on this question.
Could the action of Archbishop Leibold and Archbishop Piliarzic of Cincinnati back in 1963 granting the Imprimatur and Nihil obstat to The Prayer to Our Lady of America as directed by Our Lady and the medal (requested by Our Lady), and image of Our Lady as she appeared in 1956 as well as the booklet on the messages that were approved by Archbishop Leibold be considered approval if applied to recent directions from Vatican?
17. Nihil obstat – Without expressing any certainty about the supernatural authenticity of the phenomenon itself, many signs of the action of the Holy Spirit are acknowledged “in the midst”[18] of a given spiritual experience, and no aspects that are particularly critical or risky have been detected, at least so far. For this reason, the Diocesan Bishop is encouraged to appreciate the pastoral value of this spiritual proposal, and even to promote its spread, including possibly through pilgrimages to a sacred site.
