bluntly — I don’t have any opinion on Fatima or Medjugorje. As a Catholic, these are personal revelations — if they are true, good. If they help people find God, good. Beyond that, I’m not interested in them.

I'm basically with you there, dear brother in Christ!

And yet I notice that the truth of the matter does not depend on whether we are interested in the "problem" of Fatima and Medjugorje or not. Neither does "opinion" matter, should it diverge from divine Truth....

Fatima and Mudjegorge were (IMHO) totally unique events, definitely not part of the normal or regular pattern of Nature.

But this does not make Fatima and Mudjegorge "fictions." At least, not in my book.

ok. For me, it's filed in the "I'm not interested" category. If someone wants to believe this or someone wants to practise talking in tongues -- as long as its from God, don't expect me to criticize it, I'm not Calvinist to do so.

I recognize that God works miracles, God talks to us in the Word, in signs (such as talking in tongues, miracles), in the silence, in the reverence during Holy Liturgy etc. -- all are worship of our Christian God.
