A Bishop Judges the Event According to Positive and Negative Criteria

The bishop should judge the event according to positive and negative criteria. There are traditionally three, which are often referred to by latin phrases. The first is constat de supernatural tate, which basically means established as supernatural. This is the judgment given to apparit s that receive final approval as being worthy of belief. Some have argued that the third category, not supernatural was folded into the second category, not established as supernatural - but it can still be used in any case.
