Thank you all for your insightful observations on the apparitions. You have each well paraphrased what I have felt all along about Medjugorje, Garabandal, Bayside and the other sites. american colleen is absolutely correct when she notes that these followers used Medjugorje as a litmus test to judge others.

As if we didn't have enough to contend with in the church.

A couple years ago I wrote to the diocese of Mostar and they sent me a packet of documents. I put them on the net:

Long reading but thorough.

As if we didn't have enough to contend with in the church. This is what bothers me. The sex scandals deflect from the spiritual scandals. I've been very upset for a long time that the bishops have trampled over the authority of the Bishop of Mostar and permitted the apparition industry to thrive throughout the entire world. They should be guiding us better and be clamping down on those in the flock who disseminate and promote anything that is not approved by the church.

It is the responsibility of the church all the way to the top to correctly discern and warn the faithful. Why should we have to do it?

I'm not trying to plug my website; some freepers know about it; for the sake of those who don't know the whole story about Medjugorje, I repost it occasionally.

Thanks for posting the article btw. It is excellent and long overdue. How many will read and take heed?

I found a place on the net where I can order Bouflet's book, but with shipping and handling it is $37 USD (37,39 Euro). That's pretty steep; I'll have to wait. I'll check out Amazon.

I wish it was available in English.
