In a document approved by Pope Leo, the main doctrinal office stated that this "phenomenon of alleged apparitions... should be unequivocally considered as not having a supernatural origin." Thus, the world's 1.4 billion Catholics are urged not to accept the reports from Dozulé as genuine.

The woman who claimed to have seen Jesus stated that he dictated messages to her and ordered a cross over seven meters high to be erected on a hill. The Vatican reminded that such claims are carefully checked to avoid speculation or commercial exploitation of faith.

In addition, the bureau reminded that the alleged prophecy of the "end of the world by 2000" from these apparitions did not come true.
