As for Medjugorje, my mother in law has been there. She even brought me a rosary and a medal that she purchased at the site and had them blessed by one of the priests. I told her I thought this was a false apparition because of the disobedience of their Franciscan priests. The priest who organized the visit arranged for Jakov, the youngest of the seers, to speak at her Parish about 4 years ago. We went to hear him and the place was packed. He seemed sincere however, something didn’t feel right. I think it was the fact he wasn’t making good eye contact with the congregation .
After reading this, I am seriously considering “retiring” my Medjugorje rosary and using another one. Thanks for the great post!
