I went to Mediugorje in the late 90’s.
I had my own personal experience - which counts for squat in these matters of course.
I didn’t realize at the time how contentious the debate was - as I wasn’t hooked up to the Internet yet.
I’ve always been amazed at how both sides have dug in.
Whether its a yes or a no - you will see a bunch of people become very angry.
I’m rooting for “truth”
I trust that after all the interviews and looking at all the pros and cons ... Our Church will make a good decision.

I've known people who have had profound experiences of grace at Medjugorie. Of course, people can have profound experiences of grace at home, too: it doesn't prove anything except that God pours out grace on those who sincerely seek Him.

I trust that after all the interviews and looking at all the pros and cons ... Our Church will make a good decision.

I agree.

A close relative of mine got hooked into the phony apparitions at Bayside (Brooklyn, NY). Even though that was a VERY obvious phony, she took the good out of it and is a better person and Catholic this day. God can work good out of evil for those who accept His Grace.

I absolutely DO NOT AGREE, unless it is accidental, as good decisions have been the exception not the rule since the early 60s.
