What IS the OFFICIAL Magesterium’s take on Fatima, as well as the rest of the Marion Apparitions?

from what I understand there are only 6 “official” apparitions of the church.

Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico

The Apparitions at Rue du Bac, Paris, France (Catherine Labouré and the Miraculous Medal)

La Salette, France
Lourdes, France - Bernadette Soubirous
Knock, Ireland
Fatima, Portugal

Fatima is approved.You have to look up each individually to see if they have approval which means you can choose to believe.

It means that the Church has found merit in the apparition, but ultimately it is up to the ordinary believer to choose to believe or not. The Church in essence says there is merit to it, but one can choose whether or not to believe in it.
