Here is what Catholic teaching says about apparitions. Apparitions if they are approved do not have to be regarded by Catholics Take it or leave it. So Catholics, by catholic teaching, can see what the bishop is saying she said and believe him or not and then believe at Lucia or not and still be in good standing.

From catholic hot dish.com, a citation from the catechism (ccc):
‘All apparitions are considered private revelation because public revelation ended with the Apostles’ deaths (when the New Testament was completed). According to the Catechism, private revelation doesn’t improve or complete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but it helps us live more fully by it in a certain period of history. (CCC 67) The Church will confirm an apparition as worthy of belief as a private revelation but Catholics aren’t required to believe it.’
