When are reports of a weeping statue fake news? How credible is the claim that a holy relic led to a miraculous healing? And how should a divine apparition be confirmed?
These are the themes addressed in the Vatican's new guidelines on supernatural phenomena, which urge the Catholic church to take a more cautious approach.
The document, compiled by the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, lays out stricter rules to assess the truthfulness of such claims.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
The Vatican has tightened rules regarding supernatural phenomena123. According to new norms released by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, neither the local bishop nor the Holy See will declare that these phenomena are of supernatural origin. Instead, they will only authorize and promote devotion and pilgrimages. Only a pope can formally deem something to be "supernatural"...

The church has progressively tightened its view on "miracles" and "apparitions" over many decades, but with modern social media and the accompanying modern hysteria and frequent fakery it appears to have been time for a clear statement.
