Here is an extract from a letter by Wanja Twan (1st May 2009) to the Editor of the National Catholic Reporter:

Wanja Twan wrote:I was one of the 22 Reiki Masters taught by Mrs Takata. I subsequently taught Sister Mariusza Jadwiga Bugaj this pure form of Reiki in 1991 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Sister Mariusza, a Catholic nun, had among her teachers Karol Wojtyla who became Pope John Paul II in 1979. The enclosed three colour photographs were taken by video when I visited Sister Mariusza in October 1994 in Pultusk, Poland.

So it would seem that the Apostolic Blessing was actually granted sometime between 1991 and 1994.
