In an effort to try stop the proliferation of false visions or apparitions of Mother Mary, the Catholic Church has revised its rules for certifying them. Previously, bishops could recognize them as official. That’s no longer the case. The World’s Carolyn Beeler talks with Loup Besmond de Senneville, a reporter for La Croix, the leading Catholic news outlet in France, about the new rules handed down today.
