This is what I don't understand. The idea of these kids doing this for fame or something just strikes me as simplistic and silly. The idea that it's something demonic also doesn't make sense -- why would Satan encourage people to pray to Jesus? The whole thing is very confusing to me. To simply say, "it's a scam or a hoax" without answering all these questions just doesn't cut it for me.
Yes, to me as well. But the nature of heresy is to mix truth with falsehood, and we are told that the devil may appear as an angel of light. So it's wise to be cautious about such things. Who knows what direction these continuing apparitions will take in the future?
I think Rabbi Gamelial's advice is sound: if it's of God, it will endure. Give it a century or two and see what comes of it. In the meantime, there are so many other time-tested ways to deepen our spiritual life, about which there are no doubts. They're not so exciting as an apparition, but steadily applied are much more likely to bear lasting fruit.
When people flock to Medjugore WHO are they seeking? It is not Christ . People do not talk about Christ when they talk about Mediugora they talk about Mary , they pray to Mary they wear Mary medals. THAT is why Satan would set something like this up.That is why it would be demonic
Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life NO ONE comes to the Father BUT BY ME".
So an apparition that says all religions are fine is a lie from the pit of hell.
