Montichiari: Tucho Approves Castrated Version of an Apparition

The Dicastery for Fighting against the Faith has given an allegedly favourable opinion on the devotion to Our Lady of Montichiari in northern Italy. On this subject, Tucho Fernández sent a letter, also signed by Francis, to Monsignor Pierantonio Tremolada, 67, Bishop of Brescia.
VaticanNews.va euphemistically calls the letter a "recognition" (8 July). Montichari is known for alleged Marian apparitions (1947-1976) to Pierina Gilli who claimed that the Virgin Mary appeared to her with three roses, white, red and gold. Gilli designed a statue which became somewhat famous.
In 1950 the local bishop rejected Gilli's claims. Until 1997, the bishops of Brescia repeated that the apparitions weren't credible.
In April 2001, on the tenth anniversary of Gilli's death, Bishop Giulio Sanguineti appointed a priest to oversee the liturgical life of Montichiari. On 17 December 2019, the Marian shrine was declared a "diocesan sanctuary".
In his letter, Tucho Fernández stated that he didn't find any elements …More

"He also praises Gilli's appreciation of the Novus Ordo." Says it all really - about the alleged seer and Tucho.

Either it's genuine and fully approved or not. The faithful can't be expected to nit-pick around alleged apparitions and see what parts can be believed and what can't.

@English Catholic The local bishops, who were closer to the ground when an apparition was alleged to have occurred, have been altogether removed from the equation.

@Liam Ronan Partially, I suspect, because of continually disobedient apparition fanatics, who always said they wouldn't disbelieve in this or that apparition until Rome condemned it, whatever the local Ordinary declared. To them, I would have said 'be careful what you wish for', because they just got what they wished for - although not in the way they expected.

@English Catholic I thought this pronouncement was another one of those uncanny timing coincidences by the Vatican. July 13th is the Feast of Our Lady, Mystical Rose (Rosa Mystica) - Mother of the Church.

"Tucho Fernández stated that he didn't find any elements..."
This is the world upside down!
A heretic, apostate and an antiapostle kissing-mouth-Tucho is a "chief" of CDF!?!
Come on clerus! Wake up!

Come on clerus! Wake up!
The militant sodomites have established their antichurch. They took our buildings and they wear our robes, but they are the wolves in shepherd's clothes. They are the worst enemies of the Church. And certain number of hirelings are working for them long time already.

True shepherds, where you are?!
Hiding behind the wall of the ambigous papers of the V2-freemason-comunist-judeo-protestant revolution?
That's not working. Don't you see?
Don't you understand?
Don't you comprehend?

You must be courageous!
Otherwise...
You are resposnible for the Church!
For countless souls who are at stake.

Be a man! And fight against these bunch of infiltrants, before it is to late, for many of you, and many of us.

Cal an Imperfect Council!
Call it now!

I agree with you; our shepherds need to step up and be men. These men who claim to be our shepherds need to confront the truth, the consequences and to correct the course by steering the ship in the right direction. Instead playing nice while letting the predators pick out their sheep to devour them.

@Liam Ronan As I understand it, the new DDF criteria for apparitions will only apply to those alleged apparitions which have not already received full approval.
Liam Ronan
@English Catholic My suspicion is that they will start with the apparitions which can be bowled over easily and move on. Here's a great post by AKA Catholic.

Just be prepared for any apparition, Akita, Fatima, La Sallette, etc. that suggests the Virgin Mary can hold back or mitigate Diveine Wrath, intercede as Mediatrix of Grace, etc. will be obscured by this Cardinal and the pope he serves.

"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests." Our Lady of Akita October 13, 1973

Tucho? And who is it? Oh, yes, this is that complete heretic and author of obscene literature (which, by the way, could well include everything that he publishes in his Dicastery). Without going into discussion regarding the Rosa Mystica, it may be noted that even in this document Tucho attacks the Blessed Virgin Mary, denying her both titles and ministry.

We all know that the whole world would have been destroyed long ago if the Mother of God had not restrained God’s Wrath with Her prayers. Tucho can keep his apostate thoughts to himself, for they interest no one, but offend Catholic ears.

I would not even stay in the same house with someone who does not confess that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mediatrix of ALL Graces and Co-Redemptrix. And if Tucho, God forbid, came to my city, I would leave it while he was in it.

The Litany of Loreto invokes Mary as 'Mystical Rose' as she has long long been invoked.
The disturbing innuation of the Cardinal's remarks (to my mind) flow from: "He thinks of Gilli’s portrayal of Our Lady as a mediator who restrains divine justice and punishment." That goes right to Fatima and the angel with the flaming sword restrained by Our Lady from striking the earth with Divine Justice, etc.
