Claimed apparitions and miracles at Holy Love Ministries in Elyria, Ohio were denounced by local Bishop Richard Lennon as “not supernatural in origin” and “forbid members of the clergy of any ecclesiastical jurisdiction” to celebrate the Sacraments on the site.[98] He also declared “that the Confraternity of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary is not an approved association of the Christian faithful in the Diocese of Cleveland and may not legitimately use the name ‘Catholic’ or represent itself as a Catholic group.”.
