\"Medjugorje<\/a>The Catholic faithful ought to avoid all connections with the alleged visionaries connected with\u00a0Medjugorje. This is the current judgement of the Church due to a lack of final judgement of experts for the good of the faithful.<\/p>\n

In March 2010, Pope Benedict XVI formed a commission to investigate the veracity of Our Lady\u2019s apparitions in Medjugorje. The Holy See said, \u201cAn international investigative commission on Medjugorje has been constituted, under the presidency of Cardinal Camillo Ruini and dependent upon the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Said commission – made up of cardinals, bishops, specialists and experts – will work privately, submitting the results of its work to the authority of the dicastery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardinal Ruini\u2019s report to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith will be studied and the findings given to the Pope. You\u2019ll recall that Ruini is the former vicar of Rome\u2019s diocese.<\/p>\n

Millions of pilgrims have visited this shrine every year and claim to have received many graces of conversion.<\/p>\n

In question the truthfulness of the six people have witnessed the Virgins apparitions since 1981.Controversy has circled the alleged Marian apparitions in Medjugorje with local bishops, the Franciscans and the various visionaries who have greatly profited from the fame.<\/p>\n

The legitimate investigation of the Holy See continues as you can see from this letter of October 21, 2013 of the US Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigan\u00f2 to the General Secretary of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Monsignor Ronny Jenkins. Archbishop Vigan\u00f2 writes on behalf of Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig M\u00fcller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The letter reiterates an April 10, 1991, directive not to adhere to unverified proposals.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is clear:\u00a0\u201cclerics and the faithful are not permitted to participate in meetings, conferences or public celebrations during which the credibility of such \u2018apparitions\u2019 would be taken for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matters like these required a well researched assessment of what\u2019s claimed for the good of all the faithful. Hence, the final judgement of the Holy Father is sought and we ought to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
