Father Gerald Murray on Medjugorje
It has long been the position of Catholicism.org that Medjugorje is a false apparition and we make no bones about saying it openly: see Medjugorje: Another View, No Problem With Heresy, the Devil Provides Wonders at Medjugorje, Message From Medjugorje: True Believers Must Respect Other Religions.
In fact, we consider it a diabolical alternative to Fatima. Yes, literally. It’s the message.
The recent decree from the DDF — “The Queen of Peace”: Note About the Spiritual Experience Connected with Medjugorje — is an apparent attempt to “split the baby,” Solomon-like, and refrain from pronouncing on the genuineness of the apparitions while praising the alleged good fruits that happen there (for my reply to the “good fruits” argument long presented by Medjugorje devotees, cf.: The ‘Good Fruits’ of Medjugorje).
There were issues deliberately bracketed out of the DDF’s considerations, issues which would have, in my view, merited an unqualified condemnation of the phenomenon.
Father Gerald Murray’s two minutes of Catholic common sense on the matter are spot-on:
Here is the entire video:
For more, you can read this article at Life Site: “The Vatican’s ‘Nihil Obstat’ decision about Medjugorje states ‘the Holy Spirit is acting fruitfully for the good of the faithful,’ but adds this does not mean the ‘alleged messages’ are of supernatural origin or that the events are approved.”
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
