If the RCC has not refuted these apparitions, and I don't believe they have, they're advocating an acceptance of these as doctrine.

No: silence at best would mean they do not see it as detrimental and warranting censure, or that the magisterium has failed to protect their flock if it is, while at worst silence could infer implicit sanction, but not as doctrine.

Would not silence mean consent to agreement? In effect, consent is allowing doctrine to be formed.

Thank you, daniel1212.

Gosh, it's refreshing to see evidence of careful thinking and fair judgments on disputed questions.
