Lets discuss the NORMS FOR PROCEEDING IN THE DISCERNMENT
OF ALLEGED SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENA conference.
Link: Norms for proceeding in the Discernment of alleged Supernatural Phenomena (17 May 2024) (vatican.va)
Below are some passages from the document:
§ 4 – When the alleged phenomenon involves various types of objects, the Diocesan Bishop, personally or through a Delegate, may order that those objects be stored in a safe and secure place, pending clarification of the case. When it involves an alleged Eucharistic miracle, the consecrated species must be kept in a confidential place and in an appropriate manner.
Art. 11 § 1 – If the extraordinary events referred to in Art. 7 § 1 involve different types of objects (cf. Art. 3 § 3), the Commission shall undertake a thorough investigation of those objects using the experts on the Commission or other experts identified for the case. The aim of this investigation is to reach a scientific, doctrinal, and canonical assessment of the objects to aid in the subsequent evaluation.
§ 2 – If the extraordinary event involves any findings of an organic nature that require special laboratory and, in any case, technical-scientific investigations, the Commission will entrust the study of those elements to genuine experts in the relevant area of investigation.
While there is no direct mention of UAP.
I found these to be the most interesting, especially the “findings of an organic nature that require special laboratory” what could that possibly mean ?
“Storing objects” does this in anyway relate to the magenta Italy case from the early 1930s ?
This document/conference seems to be a catch all for all paranormal, supernatural events so the church has a good base to approach them.
They want to impose that all things are taken into consideration of the catholic faith and fit that world view and narrative.
Thoughts ?
