My favorite is when Mary supposedly appeared to some kids and told them three secrets, then instructed them to reveal two of them. The Vatican then forced one of the girls to reveal the third secret after she refused to, saying Mary said it wasn’t ready.
Very serious institution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Secrets_of_F%C3%A1tima
Fatima is the direct reason church now don't belive any visions and want to curbstomp the visionaries because it can spiral out of their control and create nasty theological and more importantly political problems. While in medieval times people like bishop Thietmar had roughly 3 miraculous visions per year in his dreams and nobody batted an eye.
