Lipa Apparitions: "Not Supernatural"

In March, Tucho Fernández published a "long-hidden" 1951 Vatican decision declaring that the alleged 1948 apparition of the Virgin Mary in Lipa, Philippines, was "not supernatural".

The phenomenon was called 'Our Lady of the Mediatrix of All Graces' (below). Maria allegedly appeared to a 21-year-old Carmelite postulant named Sister Teresita Castillo (pictured) in Lipa City for 15 days beginning on 12 September 1948.

In a statement accompanying the publication of the decree, Tucho Fernández added that in 1951 the superior of the Lipa convent "confessed to having deceived the faithful about the alleged apparitions" and apologised.

Tucho Fernández issued the decree after an exorcist, Father Winston Cabading OP, was accused before the Philippine judiciary of "hurting religious feelings" after criticising the Lipa apparition. The prosecutor dismissed the case for lack of evidence.

Unrelated to the case, Tucho Fernández told NcRegister.com (23 April) that he is finalising a new document on guidelines for discerning apparitions and other supernatural phenomena.

In a homily at San Sebastian Cathedral, Archbishop Ramon Cabrera Argüelles: "I declare today what I always have at heart: Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace of Lipa is worthy of belief." and here.
Archbishop Ramon Cabrera Argüelles visited San Sebastián de Garabandal, Cantabria, Spain this month on 18-21 April 2024 and was the main celebrant of the Holy Mass twice during his pilgrimage. It is believed that he is the very first Archbishop to visit Garabandal. He is yet another canceled bishop pressured to retire at 72 because of his defense of the Faith.

What I find so interesting is that "authorities" in the Vatican (which is currently under Masonic occupation) also dropped the hammer on another Marian Apparition where Our Lady was identified as “Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocate” - the last and greatest Marian Dogma to be declared. The very point of Mariology that Jorge Bergoglio scoffed at in 2019 Pope calls idea of declaring Mary co-redemptrix ‘foolishness’ and then again in 2021 Once again, Pope Francis says Mary is not the ‘co-redemptrix’ From such a source as this, perhaps the greatest indicator that both Apparitions are worthy of belief.

interesting Mike. I think Fr. Paul Kramer mentioned Lipa a year or two back. Forgot the circumstances but i do remember the name Lipa. If this goes viral within the church it might separate Her even more. Which is not a bad thing if you reason the good from the bad.

@English Catholic Can these men [Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Víctor Manuel Fernández] hold any modicum of credibility over matters of faith, morals and pronouncing judgements on alleged Marian Apparitions?!

April 11, 1951
Although veneration of Our Lady Mediatrix of all Grace was permitted by Bishop Alfredo Verzosa y Florentin, the Philippine church hierarchy declared ruled negatively on the apparition stating that “there was no supernatural intervention in the reported extraordinary happenings including the shower of rose petals in Lipa.” The decision was signed by six bishops: Ganriel M.Reyes, then Archbishop of Manila; Cesar M. Guerrero, Bishop of San Fernando; Mariano Madriaga, Bishop of Lingayen; Juan C. Sison, Auxiliary Bishop of Nueva Segovia; Vicente P. Reyes, Auxiliary Bishop of Manila; and Rufino Santos, Apostolic Administrator of Lipa. The statement also contained the contentious phrase 'until final decision on the matter will come from the Holy See'.

Allegedly several of them confessed before they died that they too had been coerced, signing the negative "findings" only under threat of excommunication. (Source: LIPA June Keithley-Castro 1992) The Miracle Hunter : Marian Apparitions::Lipa
