Decree Regarding “Our Lady of the Tear of Joy” Last week, Archbishop Schnurr issued a Decree In Nomine Domini regarding an alleged apparition and messages from the Blessed Mother under the title of “Our Lady of the Tear of Joy.” You can read more about this matter in the decree itself and on the website promoting the presumed apparition. The decree concludes, “It is not permitted to have any public or private manifestation of cult or of devotion to Our Lady under the title of ‘Our Lady of the Tear of Joy,’ unless an examination of the presumed apparition results in a favorable conclusion.” I share this for your information only, so that you are informed in the event that you are asked about it, not for proactive publicizing in any way.
