Bishop Peric has stated: "Therefore I responsibly call upon those who claim themselves to be 'seers', as well as those persons behind the 'messages', to demonstrate ecclesiastical obedience and to cease with these public manifestations and messages in this parish. In this fashion they shall show their necessary adherence to the Church, by neither placing private “apparitions” nor private sayings before the official position of the Church."
It's a simple litmus test in the Church, confirmed by centuries of practical experience: if the apparitions are true, they'll stop now.
