Head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis appears in the archive as the final authority behind Vatican rulings on Marian apparitions. August 2024. The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, with his approval, granted a nihil obstat to the devotion at Pellevoisin. That same month a letter he approved did the same for Chandavila, noting signs of the Holy Spirit while expressing no certainty about supernatural authenticity. On Medjugorje he was more guarded. In 2017 he said he was more suspicious of the later apparitions.
