Is there a definitive list of approved apparitions incluiding Betania available online?

I have found this but I am unsure if it should be interpretated as correct…

Most Likely to be of Supernatural Origin and Authentic Fatima, Portugal 1917 Sr. Lucia, Bl. Jacinta & Bl. Francisco San Giovanni, Italy 1918 Padre Pio Beauraing, Belgium 1932 5 children Banneux, Belgium 1933 Cracow, Poland 1935 St. Faustina Kowalska Zeitoun, Egypt 1968 tens of thousands Akita, Japan 1973 Sr. Agnes Sasagawa Betania, Venezuela 1976 Maria Biancini Esperanza Cuapa, Nicaragua 1980 Bernardo Martinez Litmanova, Slovakia 1990 Ivetka Korcakova & Katka Ceselkova

Not of Supernatural Origin Cleveland, Ohio 1985 Maureen Sweeney Naju, Korea 1985 Julia Kim Massillou, Ohio 1985 Robert Hartman (sinner/saint) Conyers, Georgia 1987 Nancy Fowler Denver, Colorado 1990 Theresa Lopez & Veronica Garcia Lincoln, Nebraska 1991 Dr. Mary Jane Even Emmitsburg, Maryland 1994 Gianna Talone Sullivan Arlington, Virginia 1994 Joseph B. Reyes

Not of Supernatural Origin & False and Misleading Necedah, Wisconsin 1950’s MaryAnn VanHoof Bayside, New York 1970’s Veronica LeukinThis listing is not meant to be all-inclusive but rather touches upon the more well-known reports of purported apparitions. Medjugorje is not included on this listing although statements by two bishops and a Commission were leaning toward a finding of a non-supernatural origin for the reports there. However, there are a number of supporters of Medjugorje who hold that the two Bishops have been impacted by the ethnic strife that has decimated the Balkans over the past decade and cannot be objective in their assesments.

deekod1967 - I would be skeptical about the list you have posted based on the statement regarding Medjugorje. Firstly, it moves from the objective to the subjective by laying doubt on the two Mostar Bishops which is disrespectful to the Church as they are the representatives of the Church in this matter. This is an opinion of the writer and is not based in fact. Secondly, it makes mention of the Bishop’s Commission which concluded with a ruling of no evidence of the supernatural which is based in fact. The writer of the list if being consistant should state that the 36 Bishops of that commision were also affected by the local ethnic tensions but he/she does not, and nor were they. There is a bias in the author. How does “some belivers” in Medj stack up against two local Bishops and a Bishop’s Commission voting 34 to 1 against with 1 obstaining?

Please refer the current Medj. thread for all the details.

Your second list is far better and this site also has a good page to help people understand why some apparitions are not approved.

Thanks Luke and JK I am a skeptic of Medj also but i recently learned of “approved” apparitions at betania - it would be nice if the CDF could provide a webpage of approved apparitions so there is no doubt!
 
You list Conyers as not of supernatural origin. Conyers was never investigated by the Church. No such statement was made. The bishop at the time only sent out letters telling parish priests not to lead pilgrimages there. Much the same as Medjugorje. No representatives of the diocese ever went to Conyers. There is still a shrine iat the apparition site in Conyers, Roman Catholic Priests give lectures in the retreat center there and hear confessions on special holy days of Our Lady. A Ukranian Catholic Church was built on the site and is still there saying Mass daily.
