Turmoil now surrounds the alleged visions, apparitions, and locutions of an alleged seer from Itapiranga, Brazil.<\/p>\n

\"ImageIt\u2019s as yet unclear what the final stance of the Church will be. The current bishop hasn\u2019t yet rendered a verdict. His predecessor, Monsignor Carillo Gritti, did, informally approving the supernaturality of the events in the 1990s\u00a0 and consecrating a shrine there though not those occurring since that time (and up to the present). The key visionary, Edson Glauber, still asserts he sees Mary as well as Joseph and Jesus. He has appeared twice in the New York area as well as extensively in Italy and Slovenia.<\/p>\n

But last February \u2014 unbeknownst to the Catholic media \u2014 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome apparently issued an internal letter of warning after receiving a letter concerning the shrine and alleged apparitions. (We are still refining translations of it.)<\/p>\n

In that note, according to rough preliminary interpretation, the Congregation strongly recommended that the local prelate \u201ctake all necessary measures\u201d not to broadcast Glauber\u2019s messages \u201cfrom the prelature of Itacoatiara\u201d (the local diocese). The\u00a0document cited problems with a priest involved at the apparition\u2019s shrine \u2014 which had been consecrated by Bishop Gritti (who is now deceased).<\/p>\n

It also suggested there be \u201cno further mention of worship celebrated in the shrine dedicated to \u2018Our Lady Queen of the Rosary and Peace of Itapiranga.’\u201d<\/p>\n

And it asked Glauber as well as an organization associated with his apparitions to refrain from further dissemination of messages.<\/p>\n

\"ImageIt\u2019s unclear whether the Congregation\u2019s recommendations \u2014 strongly worded, according to that preliminary translation \u2014 pertain to reputed messages received recently or also to those from the 1990s that met with tacit approval (and that were thus the focus of articles on Catholic news websites).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Those messages, as well as some more recent ones, are also the focus of a book by a major Marian theologian, Dr. Mark Miravalle, of Franciscan University, who understood the situation as having met with at least partial approval.<\/p>\n

Thus does confusion reign.<\/p>\n

We attempted more than a month ago to contact the Diocese of\u00a0Itacoatiara but have not yet met with success.\u00a0While deciding, last summer, not to attend his apparitions in the U.S., we as yet withhold judgment. Glauber declined repeated requests for interviews by Spirit Daily<\/em>, citing the delicacy of his situation with his bishop. However, the extent of that situation was not known until now.<\/p>\n

Bishops in Slovenia and Italy have also been made aware of the Congregation\u2019s recommendations.<\/p>\n

\"ImageThat dicastery, under Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig M\u00fcller, was seen as clamping down on apparitions. It likewise halted public messages from a seer, Ivan Dragicevic, from Medjugorje (first reported here) and put a stop to certain public appearances by other visionaries. In July, Cardinal M\u00fcller\u2019s tenure was ended, however, by Pope Francis, who has himself expressed misgivings about daily alleged missives (saying the Virgin was \u201cnot a postmaster\u201d).<\/p>\n

On July 1, 2017,\u00a0Pope Francis\u00a0named\u00a0Luis Ladaria Ferrer\u00a0to succeed M\u00fcller as Prefect of the CDF.<\/p>\n

Those involved with Itapiranga assert that \u201clies\u201d were spread about the association by a priest after the death of Bishop Gritti and that the decree is thus incomplete and \u201cerroneous.\u201d They complain that it fails to mention a second seer, Glauber\u2019s mother, Maria do Carmo, who likewise met with approval by the now-deceased Bishop Gritti. The Congregation\u2019s document was not a formal \u201cNotification\u201d of condemnation. Nothing has been stated as far as books about the situation.<\/p>\n

We will strictly adhere to any final determination by the local bishop and will report any actions or statements he makes.\u00a0 Those around Glauber indicate they are not \u201cobliged\u201d as yet to enter into silence, though the Congregation\u2019s requests are sure to dampen enthusiasm for the alleged circumstances at this remote city along the Amazon.<\/p>\n
