Weekly edition in English of L'Osservatore Romano
No 32/33 - 12/19 August 1998
to mark the 200th anniversary of the apparitions
of the Blessed Virgin in La Vang
The related lower-left corner of the page is enlarged
so that you can read the relevant paragraph
stating the Vatican's conclusion of this question
Unfortunately, there is no written documentation of
these apparitions: such documents were perhaps
kept in the Hué church archives, which were
destroyed during two local wars:
in 1833, under King Minh Mang,
and in 1861 in the reign of King Tuduc.
(You are referred back to Chapter V)
