This is my favorite part, though:
"No indication" that it is a hoax...determined *without* launching an investigation. I wish the Diocese had somebody in charge of proofreading their quotes, who could say "uh...does that really make sense?"

I think the sentence in question makes perfectly good sense. "No obvious signs" might have been a better phrase, but that's what they meant by "no indication."
Some story or another like this crops up every couple of months. In most of them the Church usually issues a neutral (if not outright skeptical) statement. It's the media who spread the stories and the laymen who argue for their authenticity.
If anyone happens to have a list of email addresses for people prone to believing in this sort of phenomena, I would like to borrow it - merely for investigation and dialouge purposes, of course.
