Do you have a reliable source for yur contention about a relaxation of the Vatican's view on Medjugorje and Ryden? I'm pretty skeptical that such is the case, especially with Ryden, whose prblems vis-a-vis Catholic doctrine are pretty self-evident.
I am not a huge devotee of Vassula but I have followed her for a couple of years. I guess her Sept 11 "prediction" got my attention. My mqain interest is the possibilty that this might promote dialouge with the Orthodox. WHo knows? ANyway this info is from her site but has all the correspondence including the letter from Cardinal Ratzinger that "modified" the Vaticans view toward her. http://www.tlig.org/cdf.html As to Medujorie I will look. A fellow freeper told me that the vatican has ordered all pilgrimages to be temp suspended. I know there has always been local opposition from the Bishop there. But I have not heard that pilgrimages had been ordered to be stopped. I try to find out but I think with so many devotees in Louisiana to medujorie I would have heard about that but perhaps I am wrong.
