Events
Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith investigated Fátima Apparitions — The 1930 approval was a diocesan act by the Bishop of Leiria; the Dicastery (then the Holy Office) later commented on the case in its 2000 publication of the Third Secret, and apparitions generally are now discerned under the Dicastery's May 2024 norms rather than the 1930 case's own diocesan process.
