Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Vatican has released new rules for determining whether a supernatural event has occurred. They are based on facts and not contentions of an individual who claims to have experienced an otherworldly happening.  The Vatican has a right to be skeptical.  We are in an age when frivolous claims are made regularly and followers are duped into believing.  There are too many innocents who fall for supernatural claims and are misled.  For the sake of its own authority, the Church has to get it right and that is not easy when dealing with individuals who claim to see things.  It could be a PR disaster if the Church is duped as well.
