I went to Medjugorje once in the 90s and love it! What's going on??! Where are all the believers now??! It looks empty! These rumors about Medjugorje being fake has better STOP cause that is a SIN right there judging those who believe what is happening there. You have to go to experience it yourself instead of flapping your beaks over false alligations on these visionaries. They would not make something like this up and still preaching the good word of God for over 30 some years now, c'mon!
pray pray pray and the Holy Spirit will reveal all that is needed. Medjugorje is a place of prayer. Your Medjugorje can be where you are, but it is a place for me to make my soul sing. praise God and bless his holy mother
My brothers and sisters, let us be patient and charitable with each other on this issue.
The apparitions are NOT YET recognized as truthful by the Holy See. The local Franciscans are in quarrels with the bishop of Mostar-Duvno and their own order. Many of the original friars are suspended 'a divinis' and should no longer celebrate Mass.
HOWEVER, many have found conversion in those grounds. Let us hope this matter is clarified. All pray for the Holy Father Benedict XVI, please.
@peddy7444 Jesus said that if you hear that he is in the desert, do not go there! So if you hear that He is in Medjugorje, why do you so eagerly want to go there? Are you looking for a sign? Jesus warned about signs and wonders and said that no sign will be given; only an evil and adulteress generation seeks after a sign. Jesus warns of false prophets that will trick even the elect. What kind of deception is possible of tricking even the elect??
Oh yes they did, the Vatican's number one exorcist claims they are. He speaks for the Vatican. I think he knows more about demonology and unclean spirits then you do. Also the Pope knows this too that's why the "visions" of Medjugorje haven't been recognised by the church. This year no doubt they will...
I love this quote from Saint Faustina Kowalska: "Satan can even clothe himself in a cloak of humility, but he does not know how to wear the cloak of obedience." (Diary, par. 939). Genuine mystics, like Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio), are models of obedience. They never pretend to set up Christ against His Church.
Be obedient like the Blessed Mother is and do what the Bishop tells you...I believe Jesus was obedient unto death....correct?? We ought to do the same.
These apparitions are the devil's work not God's. For one Mary and Jesus would not convince clergymen to go off and Mary and two to spit on the ground or show apparitions of the baby Jesus being dropped. It also goes against the teachings of Fatima. The pope has never approved this and convinced people to stay away. I think many people are naive and should recognize that the Devil is playing them for a fool.
Yes...and where did Peter of Judah establish the church? Where is his body buried? Where did he evangelize? Where was the first place the church was legal? You get the point?
are u guys kidding? seriously even watching holy videos about medjugorje u find ways to analylize it. wow thats sad! Catholic religion is what it is, we beleive in God, Jesus and Mary and all the angels and saints equally. what has this world come to, its really sad. Medjugorje is the place Mary chose to show her self amongst many of the other places. Oprosti im boze neznaju sta cine-"forgive them god for they know not what they are doing".
Hail Mary. I've read Catholic doctrines. You worship Mary, whether you realize it or not. Hail Mary. Rosary beads... Hail Mary... Who do you think of first in times of need? Christ, or Mary?... Hail Mary. You worship Mary, not Christ, and you can't worship BOTH, so choose wisely.
The WAY they taught, not religion itself. He warned against people ONLY going to church to show off and so forth or to worry more about which pew they sat in vs. their relationship with Him. Again Hypocrisy was what he was angry about, not every religion to follow on earth. Or are you against Christianity too?? It is a religion!
Do you think other people haven't read the Bible? The entire Bible is online. I don't see the point of what you are doing. I keep telling you, you have not understood the Catholic faith. Try reading the Catholic catechism instead of spouting all this nonsense about Catholics. Are you Amish? Because every painting is a graven image too.
When you call someone an idolator that is indeed a judgment of their being about as bad as it gets. And it isn't even true, so that is really not right.
You ARE lying about what Catholics do and what they believe and you are doing it repeatedly.
As for the Pharisees their hypocrisy was being condemned and their harsh judgmental treatment of other people. It says nothing about religion in itself being bad.
I know, he called them hypocrites because they went around judging others and the way others worshiped. They even judged Jesus as not worthy of them. Just like you are judging other people as less worth than you because they are Catholic. Look to your own soul.
Excuse me, you ARE lying if you claim that Catholics believe something that we do not believe and that we do something we do not do! There is no other word for it - it is either ignorance or a bold faced lie. PLEASE stop saying these things. I think you get a charge out of upsetting people.
You are being prideful to claim you speak for Jesus himself. If Jesus hated religion why did he call Peter his rock on which his church would be built!? Stop spouting lies about what Catholics believe. Catholics do not pray TO saints and Mary but ask them to pray for us. Same as you would any friend! You speak out of ignorance and hatred, and may God forgive you for that, white washed sepulchre!
This is why I used the word hateful. It is hateful to just take apart somebody else's beliefs for no other reason than to amuse yourself. OR to call someone else's beliefs idolatry when you have not even understood the person's beliefs to begin with. Catholics do not worship idols they worship GOD and Jesus. Read Catholic catechism and you will see.
Umm...how is that so different? ;-) You are splitting hairs here. We know the Bible was not written in English. Also King James is not the only accepted translation, in any case, go in peace, sister (or brother?) in Christ!
Yes, you can do what you want, but that does not make it right! As for your claim here - You know that Jesus found the 12 disciples along his journey. They were NOT his biological brothers! We are all brothers and sisters in Christ, yes even you and me! So this verse just disproves your theory about what's meant by brother or sister referring to Jesus in the Bible. They spoke differently then.
Why are you so argumentative. Why come to a CATHOLIC story and preach against Catholicism, you are just being hateful! I disagree with your interpretation but the important thing is that you are purposely disrupting a page for no reason.
I did not say that, I said part of the Hail Mary prayer is in the Bible. The angel says to her "Hail Mary full of grace. The Lord is with thee". And we repeat that Bible verse. What in the world do you have against that!?
How dare you come here and post anti Catholic hate speech. Catholics DO NOT pray to Mary. Listen to the Hail Mary (which is from the Bible, in part) it says PRAY FOR US. We ask her to pray FOR us, we do not WORSHIP Mary. Get it right!! And Mary did not have more children, she was ever Virgin. Go elsewhere you have your own internet pages already!!
Thousands have accepted Jesus and even people of other faiths reported seeing miracles...you can also add the scientific proof of something supernatural going on there.All the messages of the Gospa are about Jesus,God,peace,prayer,confession,fasting...all Medjugorje has done is bring peace and bring conversions to God.
Yes a horrible place...I experienced an amazing heavenly peace there that convinced me God exists.That is why I go to church now and pray the rosary every day...that is why I'm finally happy now.

He said his opinion , but that is not official
opinion of the catholic church. Most of priests have other opinion , including pope John Paul II , who met the visionaries in Rome.
IF THAT WAS OFFICIAL OPINION OF THE CHURCH THEN MEĐUGORJE WOULD BE FORBIDEN BY CHURCH WITCH IS NOT THE CASE !!!
