Jesus did not appear on hill in France, Vatican says

The Vatican said Jesus could answer prayers but did not make special appearances in a small town in northern France.

Stories about Jesus’ appearance in the Normandy town of Dozule should not be accepted as fact by the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics, the Vatican’s top doctrinal office said in a new order approved by Pope Leo.

A Catholic mother in the town said she saw Jesus 49 times in the 1970s, when he dictated a series of messages and told her to build a 25-foot cross on a hillside in the town.

“The alleged ghost phenomenon, with all the consequences that flow from this detection, has absolutely no supernatural origin,” the text published by the doctrinal office reads. It was said.

Catholics believe that religious figures such as Jesus and Mary can create supernatural appearances, called apparitions, to deliver religious messages, create new worship practices, or make public appeals for peace.

The Vatican has a formal evaluation process to evaluate the alleged images and warns against using the alleged incidents for monetary gain.

The Vatican also recently issued a decree clarifying the titles Catholics can use for Mary.

This text said that Mary could not be called the “joint savior” of the world because Catholics believed that Jesus alone saved humanity through his crucifixion and death.

Notable apparitions approved by the Vatican include the appearance of Mary in Mexico as Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531 and the appearance of Jesus to his Polish sister Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s.

“The Cross does not need 738 meters of steel or concrete to be recognized: when a heart moved by grace opens itself to forgiveness, the cross rises,” the Vatican said Wednesday of the alleged sighting in Dozule. he said.

The instruction also reportedly said that the appearance of Jesus would bring about the end of the world before the year 2000.

“Obviously, this alleged prophecy did not come true,” he said.
