Fr. Kramer: VATICAN FRAUD: PIUS XII NEVER CONDEMNED THE LIPA APPARITIONS

Fr. Kramer: VATICAN FRAUD: PIUS XII NEVER CONDEMNED THE LIPA APPARITIONS

《In its decree, the Sacred Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) of the Holy See argued that Pope Pius XII made a “definitive” confirmation in 1951 against “the supposed apparitions” and declared they “were not of supernatural origin.”》
If Pope Pius XII made a "definitive confirmation" in 1951 of the decree, as the CBCP claims, then that "definitive confirmation" would be noted on the decree itself, as is the case with the July 1961 decree of the Holy Office condemning the "All Nations" apparitions in Amsterdam. apparitions. The significance of such a notation is explained in, Code of Canon Law and Commentary, by James Corriden et al., published by the Canon Law Society of America.

According to Canon Law, if there appears on a decree of the Holy Office such words as, "with the approval of the Supreme Pontiff"; or "after consultation with the Supreme Pontiff", then the decree has the authority of a papal act. If a diocesan decree has such a phrase as "after consultation with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" (as is the case with the Declaration of the Diocese of Brooklyn on the alleged apparitions of Bayside); or "with the approval of the CDF", then the decree has the force of a Roman curial act.

There is no such clause on the April 11, 1951 decree:
《April 11, 1951
We, the undersigned Archbishops and Bishops, constituting for the purpose of a special Commission, have attentively examined and
reviewed the evidence and testimonies in the course of repeated, long, and careful examinations, have reached the unanimous conclusion and hereby officially declare that the abive mentioned evidence and testimonies exclude any supernatural intervention in the reported extraordinary happenings - including the shower of petals at the Carmel of Lipa.

If Pius XII whispered his "definitive confirmation", or wrote it, signed it and put it in a drawer -- but it was not noted on the decree, then the decree has no force beyond its own face value, and the alleged "definitive confirmation" would be utterly bereft of any juridical force whatsoever.
The onus is on the CDF to produce the evidence of the alleged confirmation, otherwise the claim must be dismissed by the CBCP as apocryphal. It is standard procedure to note the approval of a higher authority on the decree itself. Such a notation is nowhere to be found on the decree April 1951; and it is inconceivable that Pius XII issued some other decree confirming the 11/04/1951 decree on Lipa, since such a decree is totally unknown to ever have existed, and unless duly promulgated, it woule remain bereft of all juridical force.
Whoever it was in the CDF who claimed that Pius XII 《made a "definitive confirmation in 1951", and "declared they were not of supernatural origin", must have studied Canon Law at the Alice in Wonderland Institute; or else has perpetrated a deliberate act of fraud in order to deceive the Catholic hierarchy and faithful of the Philippines.

What is the main message of the apparition?

"What I ask here (in Lipa) is the same I asked in Fatima..."
- Our Lady, Mary Mediatrix of All Grace to visionary, Sister Teresita Castillo on November 12, 1948 in Carmel, Lipa City

The 1948 apparitions in Lipa highlighted the Blessed Virgin’s plea for humility, penance, prayers for priests and for the Holy Father. As in Lourdes and Fatima the Blessed Mother insisted on the need to pray the Rosary. Our Lady complained about the people losing faith. Teresita added that there was a secret for herself, another for the Carmelite convent in Lipa City and one for China.
