Medjugorje Update

A bit of a strange twist to the expected pulling of the rug from under the fraud 'seers' at Medjugorje.

The Archbishop of Sarajevo is lobbying the money-making circus be allowed to continue pick-pocketing naive Catholics.

He's hoping the ancient Roman practice of nonfeasance will allow the heretical circus to continue drawing wallets into the area.

Even Pope Francis can smell the rat, but the Archbishop of Sarajevo is not 'worried' about his attitude or the CDFs attitude.

"The Church does not hurry, but always arrives at a conclusion. I'm not worried about the attitude of the Holy Father or those of the CDF. "

I don't think the inaction has anything at all to do with delays in drawing a conclusions. Even a moron knows that the Blessed Mother is incapable of heresies, lies and contradicting the Magisterium of her Son's Church.

I've spoken about my own curiosity and reasons for my own ultimate conclusion on Medjugorje but they are worth briefly mentioning again.

I initially believed it was real until one of the seers who lived in the North End of Boston booked a parish hall with a parish secretary to receive the messages at 5pm. A few local friends had invited me to check it out with them and we made plans. When the priest got wind of it, he cancelled it because there is a regularly-scheduled Mass going on upstairs at that time and he would not permit any other event to happen during that time.

The priest's decision was sound judgment to me. I assumed everyone would agree and the seer would book it somewhere else. But people were very upset with the priest and for the first time, my BS detector went up as I found this to be inconsistent with the fruit of truth. Attendees received a message from the seer asking people to sit tight because the Blessed Mother had agreed to change to a later time and they were asking the priest for permission to proceed at 7pm.

The Blessed Mother would not have scheduled a competing event downstairs from a Sacred Liturgy to begin with, so the idea that she did not know, would cause angst against one of her priests and then needed a human to fix her blunders was nonsense.

The priest, who had been open to this apparition, backed off. Devotees surrounded this faithful priest's wagons and spewed venom at him and everyone who smelled something stinky.

I know Our Lady quite well. Childless after 8 years, my parents did the Novena to the Immaculate Conception and a year later, I was born on December 8th - the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. She has been present in my life even when I wandered from Christ. This just wasn't consistent with the fruit of her womb.

I observed the phenomenon for a few years following this event. I knew many of the devotees. All of us were no stranger to the buffoonery of luminaries in the Chancery and non-believing bishops. We worked on many projects in the past and knowing the victories of the devil in Boston, I knew we would work on projects in the future--so I kept quiet about my thoughts on Medjugorje (which was not always easy!).

A pattern began to emerge after several years of observation. When a priest would obstruct or sabotage Adoration, Rosary, Church teaching or blatantly teach heresy, everyone productively worked together to hammer away at it. Yet, in spite of many years of faithful teaching, demonstrating our love and practice of the Sacraments and love for the Eucharist, venerating Mary and spreading word about the power of her protection and intervention -- if devotees of Medjugorje got wind that someone was a skeptic, there was a fatwa against that person and their family.

There is a overwhelming inability of devotees to pursue and admit truth.

For instance, I've heard a multitude of stories from devotees about people who hopped on a plane to Bosnia and had a conversion and this then proves the seers are authentic. But when you explain that a person who hops on a plane to go to Bosnia has already been groomed by Our Lady and converted, they are just sealing their relationship with Sacraments and prayer in a retreat, there is an unwillingness to admit to sufficient facts.

It's a third-world, war-torn country, halfway around the world. It costs a lot of money to go there. It is saturated with people who are devoted to Christ's Church and the Ark of the Covenant. The itinerary is filled with Sacraments and prayer.

A person who books a flight to Medjugorje wants to get something different out of their vacation than a person hopping on the plane to Turks and Caicos. A person going to Turks and Caicos plans snorkeling and windsurfing and laying on the beach with a tropical drink.

A person going on a religious pilgrimage is seeking an encounter with Christ and His Mother, the angels and saints - and they are going to get it. They would get it if they planned an hour at the local parish to sit in front of the Blessed Sacrament every day for a month.

Yet, devotees of Medjugorje tell the conversion stories as if they kidnapped and shackled a reprobate and took them to the seer and they were miraculously converted.

When you discuss the defrocked priest who knocked up a nun, the lack of vocations of the seers with the same people who have the vapors when Pope Francis propagates some of the same disturbing heresies, they refuse to admit there is a problem with the seers.

You can't seem to scratch the surface of this deception and I never trust anything that evades truth.

Why would this bishop portray the situation as if the Holy See has signaled this is on course to be found angelic and should therefore not be disturbed?

It is absolutely not the case and everyone knows it.

Another liar that is flocked around this phenomenon.
