"We Adriano Bernareggi, Prelate Domestic of His Holiness, Attendant to the Papal throne and Earl, by the grace of God and of the Holy Apostolic See, Bishop of Bergamo - having carefully considered the conscientious and well-pondered studies carried out by the Theological Committee appointed with Episcopal Decree dated 28th October 1944 for the examination of the apparitions and revelations of Our Lady to the young girl Adelaide Roncalli at Ghiaie di Bonate, in May 1944; and bearing in mind the conclusions which the same Committee has come to after submitting the events and the various circumstances, attaining the claimed apparitions and revelations, to scrutiny
by these, we presently declare:
1) We do not acknowledge the reality of the apparitions and revelations of the Blessed Virgin to Adelaide Roncalli at Ghiaie di Bonate in May 1944.
2) We hereby declare that it is not in our mind to exclude that Our Lady, faithfully invoked by those who in good faith believed She really appeared at Ghiaie, may have granted special and non customary recoveries, thereby rewarding their devoutness.
3) Therefore every form of devotion for Our Lady, worshipped as appeared at Ghiaie di Bonate, in compliance with the canonical laws, remains hereunder forbidden.
Bergamo, April 30th, 1948
Adriano Bernareggi Bishop of Bergamo".
