I don't know anything about him either. However on the web site hosting his sub page it appears he and the site are associated with Medjugorje. This "apparition" is a hot potatoe issue with which I don't like to engage. Without judging the relative merits of the claim for supernatural phenomena, suffice it to say that not all peripheral ministries that have spun off from this "apparition" site are credible or orthodox.

The priest may be rock solid and thoroughly trustworthy, but I have no way to know for sure either way.

Good answer.

It's up to bishops to police apparition groups claiming to have special messages or prophecies. Legitimate supernatural events are sometimes obscured by other kooky or demonic distractions which surround authentic spiritual phenomena. No way to tell for sure just based on accounts in newspapers and magazines. It's unfortunate, of course, if anyone gets lured into something false. Just bashing the victims, as some religious vigilantes do, usually only spreads more discord and confusion.
