<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This beautiful letter came to us from Miriam, Swamiji&#8217;s nurse&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Blessings,</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><a href="http://healingprayers.wordpress.com/">Mary Kretzmann</a></em></p>
<h3><strong>Dear Ananda family,</strong></h3>
<p>About a month ago, Swamiji decided to go to Medjugorje where apparitions of the blessed Virgin Mary appear to one of six visionaries. She has appeared to them for the past 28 years and gives daily, monthly, and yearly messages to the world through them. He wanted this to be a pilgrimage and decided to take only myself, (his nurse), and Nandini, from Ananda Assisi, as his guide in Medjugorje.</p>
<p>The first few days were strange as Nandini attempted to obtain interviews for Swamiji with any of the three visionaries who are currently here at this time. She has been told so many different things and been promised interviews which never happened, to the point where we could no longer believe anything would happen until it actually did. It seems that almost everyone is related and most particularly everyone is a &#8220;cousin&#8221; to one of the visionaries.</p>
<p>After being here for a day and a half, Nandini asked, &#8220;Do you perceive anything, Swamiji?&#8221; He answered, &#8220;No. But this doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not here. Maybe it&#8217;s only me.&#8221; Later that day, Swamiji said, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad I came, but I&#8217;m not inspired. So far, anyway.&#8221;</p>
<p>After many promises of, &#8220;yes, you have an interview with Mirjana, no, it&#8217;s a public satsang, no, it&#8217;s been canceled due to rain, &#8230;,&#8221; we finally made it to a satsang with Jakov on Tuesday afternoon. (He was 10 when the visions began coming to him and he&#8217;s now 38.) There was a very large group of Italian pilgrims there and he spoke to them fluently in their language. We only heard him speak about 10 minutes or less and then he quickly disappeared. He has a very sweet, angelic face that seemed to always be smiling.</p>
<p>On Wednesday morning we planned to go to the Apparition Hill to The Blue Cross (this was where the visionaries met secretly during the communist regime). The Blessed Virgin appears here on the second of every month to Mirjana. This area is also the site of the first apparitions in 1981.</p>
<p>There have been many storms and a lot of rain in the last days. We prayed that Wednesday morning would be clear or at least not raining, so we could somehow manage to get Swamiji up on this hill. There was also the possibility that Swamiji would have an interview with Vicka sometime after the appearance of apparition.</p>
<p><strong>Wednesday:</strong></p>
<p>By the grace of Divine Mother and Nandini&#8217;s immense tenacity, Swamiji was able to be at the apparition this morning sitting about 1 meter from Mirjana. The meeting was in the house of Mirjana and not on Apparition Hill due to the rain. Only a few select people could be inside with Mirjana and the rest of us were outside surrounding the house. Swamiji couldn&#8217;t hear much nor did he see that he was so near the visionary. However, he said afterward, <strong><em>&#8220;Although I couldn&#8217;t hear, I felt a strong love in my heart. This is what matters.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>In these days, we&#8217;ve felt a certain caution from those who live here. Today Swamiji wore his nayaswami robes and now people approach him with reverence, calling him &#8220;Padre.&#8221; Some have asked us who he is and we try to explain simply.</p>
<p>After the meeting of the apparition, we were taken to the home of Vicka, the oldest and perhaps most dynamic of the visionaries. She sees the Blessed Virgin daily. We had an incredible satsang with Vicka and her husband, Mario. Her husband&#8217;s eyes are so full of light and joy and he spoke some time about his inner relationship with God. Nandini asked some poignant questions of Vicka:</p>
<p><em>1) What does the Madonna say about meditation? </em></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>&#8220;Meditation is very good. First pray. Then read the holy scriptures. After that, be in silence and meditation.&#8221;</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><em>2) What does the Madonna say about other religions? </em></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>&#8220;All religions are the same in the eyes of the Mother. She looks at the heart.&#8221;</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><em>3) What about yoga? </em></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>&#8220;It depends on your heart&#8217;s intention.&#8221;</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><em>4) How can we overcome the ego?</em></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>&#8220;Live Christ in your heart. Speak less and pray more.&#8221;</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><em>5) How can we better serve others? </em></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>&#8220;By example. If you truly love Christ and serve Him through serving others, everyone will be inspired.&#8221;</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>Swamiji was able to have a private meeting with Vicka. Of this meeting, we only know that she told Swamiji, she would always pray for him and asked that he always pray for her.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to express in words what it was like to be in the presence of these two people. We were moved to tears talking with them and even while taking photos together. Swamiji weeps even now when he talks of Vicka and says he feels as though she&#8217;s a dear friend. He would like to see her again if possible before leaving Medjugorje.</p>
<p><strong>Thursday:</strong></p>
<p>We thought our time in Medjugorje had essentially ended last evening after a full day of blessed meetings. However, this morning brought even more adventure and blessings. After three days of rain, wind, and storms, it became clear and sunny. The visionary, Mirjana, who received the message yesterday, gave a public satsang this morning outside in front of her house. Swamiji was allowed to be inside the gate on the driveway right in front of where she was speaking. When she came out she immediately came up to Swamiji and greeted him. She talked for some time about her initial experiences as a child when she began seeing the apparition. She is a dynamic speaker and spoke fluent Italian to the group. Nandini asked a question about the prophecies regarding three days of darkness and Mirjana said that the Madonna has never spoken about this. Swamiji said that he found her very impressive. She spoke with great clarity, truthfulness, and understanding. (I, unfortunately, did not bring the camera so there are no pictures of Mirjana and Swamiji.)</p>
<p>Later this same morning arrangements were made to have Swamiji transported in a chair to the top of Apparition Hill. Six young men from the community of Cenacolo came with a special chair and took Swamiji up the hill. These young men are all recovering drug addicts and live in a community here that was founded by Sister Elvira. Their testimonials are amazing and through living in spiritual community, their lives have been completely transformed. These six young men stopped with Swamiji at each one of the Stations of the Cross, allowing him to pray while they also prayed the Rosary. They would continue to recite the Rosary as they climbed further up the hill. It was one long and beautiful prayer to the top of the hill. They requested that Swamiji bless them and you will see pictures below of him doing this.</p>
<p>This trip has been full of the blessings of Divine Mother and we&#8217;re grateful to all of you who have prayed for Swamiji in these days.</p>
<p>In Master&#8217;s love,</p>
<p>Miriam</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Swami Kriyananda felt inspired to visit <a href="http://www.medjugorje-online.com/" target="_blank">Medjugorje</a> this week. He is still there as I write this.  On his second day there, he decided to wear his blue robe for the newly formed <strong><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Kriyananda#A_new_Swami_order" target="_blank">Nayaswami</a></em></strong> order, and people came up to him and called him &#8220;Padre&#8221; and sought his counsel and blessing.</p>

<p>He had some private talks with the visionaries, and he was present when this vision and message (below) was given. Swamiji says he did not see or hear anything &#8211; but he felt a presence of &#8220;intense divine love&#8221; while the vision took place.</p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>Virgin Mary&#8217;s Message to the world, through Mirjana:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333399;">December 2, 2009<br />
<strong><em>“Dear children! At this time of preparation and joyful expectation I, as a mother, desire to point you to what is the most important, to your soul. Can my Son be born in it? Is it cleansed by love from lies, arrogance, hatred and malice? Above all else does your soul love God as your Father and does it love your fellow brother in Christ? I am pointing you to the way which will raise your soul to a complete union with my Son. I desire for my Son to be born in you. What a joy that would be for me as mother. Thank you.”</em></strong></span></p>

<div>In 1981, the Virgin Mary appeared to six children at the Catholic shrine of Medjugorje, in former Yugoslavia&#8230;She has appeared every day since. And she gives a special message to the world each month through Mirjana. Mary is asking every person to return to God before it’s too late&#8230;before her ten secrets about the world’s future come to pass<strong>*</strong>.</div>

<description><![CDATA[Religion en libertad.- Seis supuestos videntes de la Virgen, miles de mensajes, millones de peregrin]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Religion en libertad.-</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.stoessel.ch/images/europe/medjugorje_church.jpg" alt="" width="273" height="183" />Seis supuestos videntes de la Virgen, miles de mensajes, millones de peregrinos, incontables testimonios de conversión y vocación, un obispo contrario al fenómeno y retirado de su estudio por Roma y una Comisión del Vaticano investigando los hechos. Los que ya han conocido Medjugorje lo tienen claro. Los que no, se siguen preguntando: ¿Qué pasa en Medjugorje?</p>
<div id="Contenido" style="text-align:justify;"><span class="textoarticulo_rel"></p>
<div>Todo comenzó en un contexto muy diferente al actual. Medjugorje, una aldea más de las miles de la Vieja Europa, se encontraba en el corazón de un país musulmán con un gobierno comunista. La población, católica, sobrevivía en un entorno abiertamente hostil desde cinco siglos atrás, en el que los franciscanos sostuvieron la fe escondidos en las familias, ocultando sus hábitos y simulando ser laicos dedicados a tareas del campo o la artesanía. Por las noches, en casas a oscuras, ocultos de sus perseguidores, celebraban los sacramentos, bautizaban, leían la Palabra, casaban y sucedían la tradición cristiana jugándose el cuello. Así durante cuatrocientos años de ocupación otomana. Fueron ellos, los franciscanos, porque el resto del clero, ordinario o religioso, huyó como pudo y a donde pudo ante la llegada del moro. Los únicos que decidieron quedarse en bloque con los fieles católicos fueron los franciscanos.</div>
<div>Una tarde de 1981, a un grupo de chiquillos, niños y adolescentes, no se les ocurrió otra cosa que contar que en la ladera del monte Podbrdo, a un kilómetro de la parroquia franciscana de Medjugorje, vieron a «una mujer de una belleza indescriptible, de unos 18 años, morena, con los ojos azules, las mejillas sonrosadas, que vestía un largo vestido blanco con un velo azul que la cubría la cabeza, los hombros y la espalda hasta los pies». La joven chiquilla «llevaba un bebé en brazos, en el regazo, al que no logramos ver pues estaba envuelto en un manto, pero si apreciamos que se movía». Esa tarde, la del 24 de junio, estos niños que no destacaban por su piedad, presa del pánico ante la mujer que los desconcertó de esa manera, huyeron despavoridos llegando a sus casas descalzos, pálidos y sin aliento, y contando una historia que nadie creía, pues ellos, sin haber hablado con ella, estaban convencidos de que esa muchacha era la Virgen María. Ahí es nada.</div>
<div></div>
<div>La experiencia se repitió el día siguiente con estos muchachos, a saber, de nombre Ivan, Mirjana, Marija, Ivanka, Vicka y el pequeño y vivaracho Jakov, de diez años. Ese día 25 la joven iba sin bebé, pero se presentó a sus videntes como la Bienaventurada Virgen María, y comenzó entonces una serie de visitas diarias que hasta hoy no han cesado para tres de ellos, levantando un revuelo inimaginable, primero, claro, en la comunista Yugoslavia, donde la Virgen María no podía aparecerse ni como figura de belén, y más tarde y según pasan los años, en todo el mundo.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Entre medias, el párroco fue encarcelado y torturado, el obispo del momento, defensor de los muchachos al principio, contrario más tarde, y desde 1993, su sucesor, monseñor Ratko Peric, se ha convertido en su más duro opositor. Sin embargo, en un hecho sin precedentes, el Vaticano le quitó al obispo del lugar su potestad para definirse sobre el evento, considerando su postura tan solo como una «opinión personal», pero nunca como una posición oficial de la Iglesia. Roma sabe bien que tras la Iglesia local de Bosnia y Herzegovina existe un conflicto histórico, el llamado Asunto de Herzegovina, que ha enfrentado durante los últimos cien años a los frailes franciscanos con el clero ordinario, tras su instauración después de la caída del Imperio Otomano. En realidad, dicho conflicto ya no existe, y los doce frailes que atienden la parroquia de Medjugorje firmaron una declaración de obediencia y cooperación con el obispado, poniéndose a las órdenes del obispo en todo. Por eso Roma protege el estudio de Medjugorje desvinculando del mismo a las partes involucradas en la pastoral de la parroquia. Mientras, los testimonios de buenos frutos son apabullantes, desbordan toda capacidad de retención y archivo. Conversiones, vocaciones y curaciones, como si estuviese ocurriendo a la vez Fátima, Lourdes y Guadalupe, son muchas las personas que en Medjugorje cambian de vida dándole un sentido cristiano, entrando en la Iglesia o confirmando fuertemente lo que ya vivían.</div>
<div><!--more--></div>
<div></div>
<div>A día de hoy, en Medjugorje se celebran un mínimo de siete Eucaristías diarias, se reza a diario en la parroquia el Rosario completo, se hace una adoración Eucarística tres días por semana, se reza el Via Crucis los viernes, se confiesa sin parar, los curas visten de curas y las monjas de monjas. Y todo esto sucede en medio de una persecución que no ha dado tregua ni un día tan solo al testimonio de los niños, desde dentro y desde fuera de la Iglesia. Esto hace pensar a los numerosos peregrinos que dicen haber vivido allí una incomparable experiencia de Dios que tal vez su experiencia no sea porque se aparezca la Virgen María, pero también les hace pensar que sí es posible, que sí se aparezca.</div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Roma permite viajar a fieles y sacerdotes</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">La ciencia también le ha intentado meter mano a este lugar en el que se reza sin parar. Ha sido en vano. Las decenas de exámenes médicos y científicos a los que los muchachos han sido sometidos durante estos años, son muy esclarecedores. Sí, estos niños ven y oyen algo en un momento en que parecen ausentarse de la realidad que les rodea, pero sin dejar de estar despiertos y conscientes y sin ningún estimulante externo. Lo que no ha sabido explicar la ciencia es qué ven y qué oyen, eso se lo dejan a la Iglesia, que desde Roma dirige una investigación que llevará tiempo. Mientras, la postura oficial de Roma, refrendada por el cardenal Tarcisio Bertone en varias ocasiones, es que se permite peregrinar allí con toda libertad a todo el que quiera, sacerdotes incluidos, mientras se respete y viva una sana devoción a la Virgen María en el seno de la Iglesia.</div>

Anche oggi sono in mezzo a voi per mostrarvi la strada che vi aiuterà a conoscere l’amore di Dio, l’amore di Dio che ha permesso che Lo chiamiate e lo sentiate Padre. Chiedo a voi di guardare sinceramente nei vostri cuori e vedere quanto voi Lo amate. Lui è l’ultimo ad essere amato? Circondati dai beni, quante volte Lo avete tradito, rinnegato, dimenticato. Figli miei, non ingannatevi con i beni terreni. Pensate all’anima, perché essa è più importante del corpo, purificatela. Invocate il Padre, Lui vi aspetta, tornate a Lui. Io sono con voi perché Lui nella sua grazia mi manda. Vi ringrazio”.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 170px"><img title="Ivan Dragicevic" src="http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/5606/9b39.jpg" alt="Ivan Dragicevic" width="160" height="226" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ivan Dragicevic</p></div>
<p>Non hanno tardato a manifestarsi gli effetti dell&#8217;<a title="INCHIESTA ESCLUSIVA: «Nessuno dei veggenti di Medjugorje si è mai arricchito grazie alle apparizioni.» Ecco le prove del contrario." href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/inchiesta-esclusiva-%C2%ABnessuno-dei-veggenti-di-medjugorje-si-e-mai-arricchito-grazie-alle-apparizioni-%C2%BB-ecco-le-prove-del-contrario/" target="_blank">inchiesta esclusiva sulle fortune di Ivan Dragicevic</a>. A meno di un mese dalla pubblicazione dell&#8217;articolo, <em>Prayer Experience</em> chiude i battenti.</p>
<p>Di proprietà della famiglia Dragicevic, vendeva tramite l&#8217;agenzia di viaggi americana <a title="206 TOURS" href="http://www.pilgrimages.com/" target="_blank"><em>206 Tours</em></a> l&#8217;omonimo pacchetto &#8220;<a title="   Prayer Experience  with Ivan Dragicevic &#38; Family " href="http://www.pilgrimages.com/prayerexperience/" target="_blank"><em> </em></a><em>Prayer Experience with Ivan Dragicevic and Family</em>&#8221; <em><strong>da almeno 15 anni</strong></em>, un pellegrinaggio a Medjugorje con alloggio nella casa di Medjugorje del &#8220;veggente&#8221; Ivan Dragicevic.</p>
<p>La <a title="Prayer Experience Pilgrimage  Medjugorje   With Ivan Dragicevic &#38; Family" href="http://www.pilgrimages.com/prayerexperience/" target="_blank">pagina che ospitava il pacchetto</a> ha lasciato il posto ad un messaggio generico di errore, tuttavia è ancora possibile consultarla tramite l&#8217;<a href="http://abateoimpertinente.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/prayer-experience.pdf" target="_blank">istantanea che abbiamo prudentemente salvato</a>.</p>
<p>Ad oggi, non è stato rilasciato alcun comunicato ufficiale sulla repetina chiusura di <em>Prayer Experience</em>, ma grazie ad un nostro collaboratore siamo riusciti a metterci in contatto con l&#8217;agenzia 206 Tours per avere informazioni in merito.</p>
<p><!--more-->«<em>Il pacchetto <strong>Prayer Experience</strong> è stato rimosso e Laureen non gestisce più le prenotazioni,</em>» la risposta dell&#8217;agenzia di viaggi americana.</p>
<p>Un inaspettato quanto tempestivo congedo quello del &#8220;veggente&#8221; Ivan Dragicevic, che però non abbandona completamente il &#8220;turismo religioso&#8221;. Nella stessa risposta, infatti, l&#8217;agenzia informa che ha preso in gestione le prenotazioni per un nuovo pellegrinaggio a Medjugorje soggiornando alla pensione della famiglia Dravicevic.</p>
<p><em>«Per alloggiare presso la casa di Ivan e Laureen Dragicevic a Medjugorje, è disponibile il nuovo pacchetto alla pagina <span style="font-size:10pt;color:#1f497d;"><a href="http://www.pilgrimages.com/medj" target="_blank">www.pilgrimages.com/medj</a>. </span>Da questo momento, le prenotazioni sono gestite esclusivamente dalla 206 Tours</em>.»</p>
<p>Nonostante il cambio di gestione, i prezzi restano sostanzialmente gli stessi: 2599 dollari più 120-180 dollari per le tasse aeroportuali. Nei periodi che coincidono con quelli del nuovo pacchetto, altri <a title="Medjugorje" href="http://www.pilgrimages.com/tour1/default.html" target="_blank">pellegrinaggi a Medjugorje venduti dalla stessa agenzia</a>, risultano, ancora una volta, più economici.</p>
<p>Nessuna perdita, quindi, per il &#8220;veggente&#8221; che continua, seppur indirettamente, a vendere il suo pacchetto dopo aver chiuso definitivamente <em>Prayer Experience</em>.</p>
<p>Questo cambio di rotta immediato, dopo tanti anni, è sicuramente significativo: ai lettori, le opportune conclusioni.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 230px"><img title="cardinale Vinko Puljić" src="http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/4696/36b11.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="275" /><p class="wp-caption-text">cardinale Vinko Puljić</p></div>
<p>Lo avevamo anticipato più volte, oggi arriva la conferma: dopo aver scetticamente osservato gli eventi per anni, il Vaticano potrebbe presto emanare per i Cattolici nuove direttive guida più dure sulle affermazioni relative al &#8220;fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221;.</p>
<p>A rivelarlo, è il cardinale Vinko Puljić, presidente della Conferenza Episcopale della Bosnia Erzegovina, in un&#8217;intervista rilasciata all&#8217;agenzia di stampa <a title="Vatican ruling on disputed Medjugorje shrine expected soon" href="http://blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/2009/10/07/vatican-ruling-on-disputed-medjugorje-shrine-expected-soon/" target="_blank">reuters</a>.</p>
<p>Se queste direttive mostrassero chiaramente lo scetticismo che da molto tempo la Chiesa Cattolica ha assunto verso le &#8220;apparizioni&#8221; di Medjugorje, sarebbero un duro colpo al &#8220;fenomeno&#8221; che molti Cattolici vedono come una &#8220;nuova Lourdes&#8221;.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>«Stiamo aspettando nuove direttive su questo problema,» ha detto il cardinale Puljić. «Non penso che dovremo aspettare a lungo, penso entro quest&#8217;anno, ma non è ancora chiaro&#8230; andrò a Roma a Novembre e se ne dovrà discutere.»</p>
<p>Negli scorsi mesi, lo scetticismo della Chiesa è stato manifestato pubblicamente. Il 10 Marzo 2009, Benedetto XVI ha <a title="Medjugorje, Tomislav Vlasic ridotto allo stato laicale" href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/tomislav-vlasic-ridotto-allo-stato-laicale/" target="_blank">ridotto allo stato laicale Tomislav Vlasic</a>, dopo la <a title="ESCLUSIVO: Benedetto XVI finalmente da un giro di vite sul più grande santuario Cattolico illegale del mondo e sospende ‘dubbio’ sacerdote" href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/esclusivo-benedetto-xvi-finalmente-da-un-giro-di-vite-sul-piu-grande-santuario-cattolico-illegale-del-mondo-e-sospende-dubbio-sacerdote/" target="_blank">sua sospensione</a> per essersi rifiutato di collaborare nelle accuse di scandalosa immoralità sessuale ‘aggravata da motivazioni mistiche’. E’ stato anche accusato della “diffusione di dubbie dottrine, manipolazione di coscienze, sospetto misticismo e disobbedienza verso ordini dati legittimamente”.</p>
<p>In entrambi i casi, alcuni media avevano tentato di dissociare Vlasic dal &#8220;fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221;, ma qualche giorno fa è arrivata la <a title="Medjugorje, la curia di Mostar sconfessa padre Livio Fanzaga: Tomislav Vlasic era direttore spirituale dei “veggenti”" href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2009/10/04/medjugorje-la-curia-di-mostar-sconfessa-padre-livio-fanzaga-tomislav-vlasic-era-direttore-spirituale-dei-veggenti/" target="_blank">dura smentita della curia di Mostar </a>che con un lungo comunicato ha fatto chiarezza sul legame tra l&#8217;ex francescano e il &#8220;fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221;.</p>
<p>A Giugno il vescovo di Mostar, Ratko Peric, ha emanato <a title="Il contesto del &#34;fenomeno di Medjugorje&#34;, III." href="http://www.cbismo.com/index.php?mod=vijest&#38;vijest=416" target="_blank">una nuova serie di divieti</a>: nessun sacerdote proveniente dall&#8217;estero potrà più guidare ritiri ed esercizi spirituali o tenere conferenze senza l&#8217;approvazione della curia locale, nessun sacerdote locale o straniero può diffondere &#8220;messaggi&#8221; o &#8220;apparizioni&#8221; non proclamati autentici.</p>
<p>Tutti i sacerdoti dovranno mostrare il loro &#8216;<em>celebret</em>&#8216; (permesso di celebrare, ndr.), pesanti restrizioni per l&#8217;&#8221;Oasi della pace&#8221; e divieto di soggiorno, come associazione religiosa, nel territorio della diocesi.</p>
<p>La chiesa privata di <span style="font-size:10pt;">Bijakovići</span> viene chiusa, nessuna menzione di &#8220;veggenti&#8221;, &#8220;apparizioni&#8221; e &#8220;messaggi&#8221; può essere fatta nel bollettino parrocchiale. Non può essere associata la parola &#8220;santuario&#8221; a Medjugorje, non possono essere menzionati o commentati il &#8220;messaggio&#8221; o &#8220;l&#8217;apparizione&#8221; del 25 del mese di Marija Pavlovic.</p>
<p>La &#8220;veggente&#8221; Mirjana Dragicevic non potrà più avere &#8220;apparizioni&#8221; private alla comunità Cenacolo di suor Elvira, l&#8217;associazione &#8220;<span style="font-size:10pt;">Kraljice mira&#8221; &#8211; fondata da Tomislav Vlasic &#8211; è bandita da tutto il territorio della diocesi.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Nessuno, né i &#8220;veggenti&#8221;, né altri, potrà recitare preghiere ricevute dalle &#8220;apparizioni&#8221; e </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">non è permesso di introdurre durante la preghiera del rosario le intenzioni ricevute in una &#8220;apparizione&#8221; o &#8220;messaggio&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Infine, non è permesso, specialmente in occasione dell&#8217;anniversario delle &#8220;apparizioni&#8221;, che i “veggenti” e le “veggenti” siano invitati e compaiano nella chiesa parrocchiale o in qualsiasi ambiente ecclesiastico per propagare i loro &#8220;messaggi&#8221; e &#8220;apparizioni&#8221; private.</span></p>
<p>Puljić non ha voluto dichiarare la sua posizione sugli eventi di Medjugorje. «Le persone possono pregare ovunque, anche a Medjugorje. Non è peccato pregare, non è peccato ascoltare confessioni, non è peccato dare la penitenza. Ma questi fenomeni, &#8220;apparizioni&#8221; o &#8220;visioni&#8221;, rientrano nella commissione del Vaticano,&#8221; ha affermato il cardinale.</p>
<p>«E&#8217; una questione molto delicata.»</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>When I first became Catholic in 2004, I hung around various Paltalk rooms, and one thing I noticed was that some Catholics seemed to talk more about apparitions than anything else, almost to the point that any outsider would think that our faith was all about apparitions.  One issue that would always come up would be Medjugorje, with many Catholics swearing it was real and swearing how deeply it touched their faith. Generally I have been suspicious of Medjugorje, and two recent blog posts have made me even more suspicious. I suggest you read them, as they both point out that the apparitions at Medjugorje seem to have resulted from a dispute between the local bishop and the Franciscans in the area.</p>
<p><a href="http://the-american-catholic.com/" target="_blank">The American Catholic</a> has a good post called <a href="http://the-american-catholic.com/2009/10/06/medjugorje-hoax-from-the-beginning/" target="_blank">Medjugorje: Hoax from the Beginning</a>, which is worth reading, and provides some insight into some of the suspicious activities surrounding Medjugorje.</p>
<p><a href="http://sergesblog.blogspot.com" target="_blank">A Conservative Blog For Peace</a> also <a href="http://sergesblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-on-medjugorje-scam-bishop-calls.html" target="_blank">has a great post on the issue</a>, which ultimately reminds us that in Catholic ecclesiology the bishop calls the shots.</p>
<p>If you believe Medjuggorje has edified your faith, then I am glad, and I am not trying to take that away from you. However, I think that the way this apparition has unfolded and been handled has been less than Catholic.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The alleged Marian apparitions at Medjugorje have had a sordid history.  Much of it to some extent successfully <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-13246" title="Tomislav Vlasix Marian Hoax Medjugorje" src="http://amcatholic.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/tomislav-vlasix-marian-hoax-medjugorje.jpg?w=179" alt="Tomislav Vlasix Marian Hoax Medjugorje" width="179" height="300" />glossed over or reinterpreted by the Franciscans that run the parish at Medjugorje.  A <a href="http://www.cbismo.com/index.php?mod=vijest&#38;vijest=418">document</a> was put out by Bishop Ratko Peric, the ordinary of the Diocese of Mostar-Duvno that encompasses Medjugorje, which was <a href="http://catholiclight.stblogs.org/archives/2009/10/context-of-the.html">translated</a> by Richard Chonak of the Catholic Light blog, that put to record of what actually occurred in Medjugorje and how the alleged apparitions were fabricated and manipulated by dissident priests such as Tomislav Vlasic and Slavko Barbaric.</p>
<p>I want to briefly summarize some highlights from this translated document first, which then be followed by the translated document in full.</p>
<p>Highlights:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <em>Tomislav Vlasic</em>, in collusion with his superior, undermined the authority of the bishop by relocating himself to Medjugorje without asking permission.  They waited an entire year to do so.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> <em>Tomislav Vlasic</em> and <em>Slavko Barbaric</em>, the spiritual directors of the alleged seers, did not allow the seers to report any alleged messages from the Madonna without coming to them first so they can have their stories straight.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> A grave theological error that the alleged apparition stated that all people in Heaven have their <em>souls</em> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">and</span> their <em>bodies</em> with them.  I guess <em>Tomislav Vlasic</em> never studied the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11049a.htm">Nicene Creed</a>.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> <em>Tomislav Vlasic</em> claimed to have visited the Pope (John Paul II) when he never did.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> The Madonna wanted <em>Slavko Barbaric</em> to replace <em>Tomislav Vlasic</em> as the spiritual director so he could document the entire episode of the visions.  <em>Slavko Barbaric</em> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">passed away</span> in AD 2000, and the alleged apparitions continue to this day&#8230; without Slavko Barbaric.  Another &#8220;vision&#8221; that never came true.</p>
<p>There are <a href="http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=4170">many</a> <a href="http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=3618">more</a>, but I just highlighted the big ones that I thought were prescient.  The following is the completed translation of <em>Bishop Ratko Peric&#8217;s</em> documentation of the many errors of the apparitions in Medjugorje:</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><strong>Vlasic&#8217;s involvement in the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221;</strong></div>
<p>Just as last year, when the Holy See sanctioned the Rev. Vlasic with interdict, warning him of more severe penalties if he would not obey, once again numerous comments have appeared in the mass media to proclaim the non-connection between the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221; and the &#8220;Vlasic case&#8221;. If in both the letter and in reference to the two more serious penalties there is an explicit reminder of the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221;,[1] in which Tomislav Vlasic in involved, why is there never any connection between the one and the other? We would like to recall just that undeniable connection, from the beginning.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Tomislav Vlasic, born at Socivi, 16 January 1942, was ordained a priest as a member of the Herzegovinian Franciscan province, 16 July 1969, at Frohleiten, Austria.[2] After ordination he worked for some time as a spiritual assistant at Humac[3] and starting in 1973 as superior of the residence at the Franciscan house in Jablanovac, Zagabria.[4] At the proposal of the provincial superiors, he was canonically named spiritual assistant in the parish of Capljina in 1977,[5] where he remained in service until 17 August 1981, when he moved to Medjugorje, on his own initiative, without any necessary warning and without the approval of the bishop.[6]</p>
<p>But, according to the Reverend R. Laurentin, the quasi-official historiographer of the &#8220;Medjugorje apparitions&#8221;, the Provincialate gave Fr. Vlasic permission to reside at Medjugorje, all without the knowledge of the Bishop. Fr. Laurentin writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Coming to know of the arrest <em>[of the parish priest --RC]</em> that same day, August 17, Tomislav Vlasic, parish priest from Capljina, went to Medjugorje in order to inform himself and take account of the situation. From there he went immediately to the provincialate, at Mostar, to inform them of the serious situation and the danger that weighed on the parish left without anyone to guide them. The provincial found his observations sensible and his visit providential. He immediately named him to replace the imprisoned parish priest. &#8211; Therefore, at the end of the next day, friar Tomislav settled into the presbytery of Medjugorje. For the second time, he contacted the seers, whom he had rapidly questioned on June 29. He became their &#8217;spiritual director&#8217; and this would be the title he kept later in the parish&#8230;.&#8217;[7]</p></blockquote>
<p>Therefore, by the sixth day after the &#8220;apparitions&#8221; happened at Medjugorje, and after the arrest of friar Jozo Zovko, 17 August, transferred to the parish of Medjugorje, where the Provincialate &#8220;appointed&#8221; him parochial vicar. Obviously, the Provincialate cannot appoint him as a parochial vicar, but can only propose him, because it is the Bishop who canonically appoints a parish priest or a chaplain, but again such &#8220;appointments&#8221; are part of the tragic &#8220;Herzegovina case&#8221; and the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Provincialate did propose Fr. Vlasic as &#8220;spiritual assistant at Medjugorje&#8221;, only a year later, 19 July 1982, although it could and must have known about the sad &#8220;Zagabria case&#8221;, which had to be resolved in another way. Bishop Zanic, not knowing about Vlasic&#8217;s moral life and the implications of the &#8220;Zagabria affair&#8221;, sent the decree on 27 July of that year for his transfer and carrying out his activity at Medjugorje.[8]</p>
<p>Since the year 1981, Fr. Vlasic has been implicated in the events of Medjugorje, accompanying the &#8220;seers&#8221; and inseparably connected to the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221;, from its beginnings and also in what followed. Or rather, the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221; was created in a sense , even before its beginning. Already in May 1981, over a month before the beginning of the &#8220;apparitions&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Fr. Vlasic went to Rome for an international congress of leaders of the Charismatic Movement. During the congress he had asked some of those present to pray with him for the healing of the Church in Yugoslavia. A religious, Sister Briege McKenna, who was united with those in prayer, had a vision: she saw Fr. Vlasic seated and surrounded by a great crowd of people facing him, and from the place where he was seated, there flowed rivers of water. Another religious there, Fr. Emile Tardiff, OP, said in prophecy, &#8220;Do not be afraid, I will send you my Mother.&#8221; After a couple of weeks, the Madonna began to appear in Medjugorje.&#8221; [9]</p></blockquote>
<p>And above all he has been involved in the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221; after having been proposed by his Superiors in July 1982 and having been approved and appointed by the Bishop as chaplain of Medjugorje. Here are written proofs.</p>
<p><strong>Friar Tomislav Vlasic and Friar Slavko Barbaric tell the seers what they are to say to the people.</strong> In the <em>Chronicle of the apparitions</em>, prepared then by friar Tomislav Vlasic, we read:</p>
<blockquote><p>21. VIII. 1982. (Saturday). In the morning friar Tomislav and friar Slavko spoke with the seers. The conversation turned toward the direction of the edification of themselves as persons, and toward indicating their role in the context of these events, especially in regard to their authority, which they must not put at risk in responding to all the questions, but direct the people to the way of conversion and waiting for the promises of God.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><em>&#8211;Two Franciscans want to indicate the role of the &#8220;seers&#8221;, that they must not put their own authority at risk in responding to all the questions, but speak of &#8220;conversion&#8221; and &#8220;waiting for the promises of God&#8221;, because they won&#8217;t make any mistakes that way; at least that is compatible with the real Madonna!</em></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The seers must not make statements without informing us.&#8221; </strong> In the Chronicle of 12 April 1984.  Vlasic wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Today I spoke with all the seers. I brought to their attention again the necessity of not releasing statements to anyone without informing us.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><em>&#8211; This means that he is to control, verify, approve, and announce what is true and what is false in the &#8220;messages of the Gospa&#8221;. The censor of the &#8220;messages of the Gospa&#8221;! What an interference in the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221;!</em></p>
<p><strong>A grave theological error. </strong> In spite of Vlasic, who was illicitly at Medjugorje, a notorious theological heresy showed up, which he had already written down in the <em>Chronicle</em>, 6 May 1982, getting it sincerely from the &#8220;seers&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This evening the young people posed a theological question and received the answer.   <em>Are people in heaven present with their souls, or with the soul and the body?</em> &#8211; they asked.  <em>They are present with the soul and with the body</em> &#8211; that was their answer.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><em>&#8211; All of us profess the Catholic faith that the resurrection of the body (resurrectio mortuorum) will be at the Last Judgment, and Fr. Vlasic takes down the fable of the &#8220;seers&#8221; of Medjugorje: not only Jesus and the Madonna, as we believe in the Catholic Church, but also all the other saved persons in heaven &#8220;with the soul and the <strong>body</strong>&#8220;! And he leaves that in the official Chronicle, with no other observation! This means that even he is not clear about this Catholic dogma, and that after 13 years of preaching on the Nicene Creed at Humac, Jablanovac, Capljina, and Medjugorje. No wonder that last year the Congregation indicated he should take the elementary course on theology and pronounce the profession of faith, on the approval of the Holy See!</em></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The apparition&#8221; of Medjugorje praises the work of Vlasic. </strong> In Vicka&#8217;s diary manuscript of 28 February 1982, the alleged apparition greatly praised the work of Vlasic as a guide to the &#8220;seers&#8221;. Vicka&#8217;s literal text:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I and Jacov were there. The Gospa came at 6, 3 minutes, she looked kindly at us. Then the Gospa spoke about Tomislav, first she looked at him, and then said: &#8220;you can thank Tomislav very much because he is guiding you so well.&#8221;[10]</p></blockquote>
<p><em>&#8211; The one who is illicitly at Medjugorje, and is directing everything so well, and &#8212; directing everyone to follow him. And the &#8220;Gospa of Medjugorje&#8221; praises and approves it all!</em></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The apparition&#8221; recommends Vlasic as a spiritual teacher.</strong> He himself writes in the <em>Chronicle of the apparitions</em>, 5 March 1984, speaking of Ivan Dragicevic:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Gospa expressed the desire and recommended, after his request for advice, to finish his upper levels and after that she would show him what to do. She also told him to entrust himself to friar Tomislav Vlasic to guide him spiritually.&#8221;[11]</p></blockquote>
<p><em>The one who, furthermore &#8212; either one of them &#8212; have acted without regard to the &#8220;message&#8221; of the &#8220;apparition&#8221; of Medjugorje! Friar Tomislav talks to the &#8220;seer&#8221; Ivan, Ivan talks to friar Tomislav, and then the whole thing is attributed to the Blessed Virgin.</em></p>
<p><strong>Vlasic accompanies the seers according to &#8220;divine providence&#8221;.</strong> In the letter of 13.IV.1984, he presents himself to the Pope as the one who &#8220;through Divine Providence guides the seers of Medjugorje&#8221;. He reports that &#8220;the Madonna continues to recount her life to the seers&#8221; and informs the Pope:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I will be in Rome from 19 April to 10 May for an international meeting. I know that you are very busy, but if you can receive me for a few minutes, I will be able to tell you about the main points of the apparitions.&#8221;[12]</p></blockquote>
<p><em>&#8211;The Pope did not receive him.</em></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><strong>Barbaric on Vlasic</strong></div>
<p>On the role and the connection of Vlasic with the &#8220;Medjugorje phenomenon&#8221; even from the beginnings, how he &#8220;channeled&#8221; the apparitions and events, another disobedient person of Medjugorje has testified, in a better way, writing chronologically: the propagandist of the &#8220;apparitions&#8221; and myth-maker of the events, friar Slavko Barbaric.</p>
<p><strong>Appointment by the bishop and then the request that friar Slavko leave Medjugorje. </strong>The Provincialate proposed Rev. Barbaric as parochial vicar of Medjugorje in the letter of 16 August 1984. Bishop Zanic approved the Tabula the same day and the transfer of Barbaric.[13] But the bishop, on 3 January 1985, writes to the Provincialate, &#8220;I ask you to transfer friar Slavko Barbaric from Medjugorje to another position. He at Medjugorje, on the very important questions regarding the alleged &#8220;apparitions&#8221; of the Madonna is making propaganda in a way completely opposed to the directions I have given many times orally and in writing.&#8221;[14]</p>
<p><strong>The desire of the &#8220;Gospa&#8221; for friar Slavko to remain at Medjugorje.</strong> The apparitional &#8220;phenomenon&#8221;, however, intervenes, expresses the &#8220;desire&#8221; that friar Slavko stay at Medjugorje to guide things and collect the information so that after the visit of her &#8220;apparitions&#8221; a synoptic image may remain of what has happened. In the Chronicle of the apparitions friar Slavko personally wrote this &#8220;message&#8221; sent to himself:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;3 February 1985. (Sunday) The vision came suddenly. Shorter this evening than in some days, just 2 minutes. Marija, Ivan, and Jakov were present. The message was for friar Slavko, as promised in the vision yesterday. It was given by Ivan. It went as follows: &#8220;I would like that Slavko remain here, and attend to all the details and the notes so that at the end of my visit we will have a synoptic image of everything. I am praying especially for Slavko at this time and for all those who work in the parish.&#8221; [15]</p></blockquote>
<p><em>&#8211; It is well known that such a &#8220;synoptic image&#8221; was a typical Medjugorean daydream of friar Slavko, because he died on 25 November 2000, while the apparition has not ceased to multiply, even nine years now after his death, and as things stand, the apparitions of Medjugorje will have no end! An image truly a-synoptic [a-sinottica], not synoptic.</em></p>
<p><strong>Vlasic &#8220;channels&#8221; the &#8220;apparitions&#8221;.</strong> Here is what Barbaric wrote in the Chronicle of the apparitions of 1984,[16], which needs to be read in the light of what the Holy See decided in regard to Vlasic during 2008-2009. After the departure of Vlasic from Medugorje, friar Slavko Barbaric wrote that he remained in Medjugorje in the hope that he too would be &#8220;chosen according to divine providence&#8221; to continue to guide what had become a &#8220;tradition&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;2.IV.1984 (Sunday) I cannot fail to mention what happened today. Friar Tomislav Vlasic has been transferred. He said his goodbyes during the high Mass. The whole church was moved to tears, and with reason. Tomislav remains a luminous figure in the history of these apparitions. He was truly prophetic and courageous to come after the imprisonment of friar Jozo Zovko and carry on his work. How much work and fatigue he invested, how much pastoral prudence and prayer, no one could count it all. The grace of God chose him and sent him. He responded and worked. With his pastoral and spiritual experience he channeled this great fountain which welled up on the day of the apparitions. Also wise, full of the Spirit of God he has guided the seers, the parish, and the pilgrims. Despite all the positive activity every day he had to combat the attacks and dangers ready to destroy what was happening at Medjugorje. He knew prophetically to foresee events, read the situation, and move ahead. I am a witness like no one else, because I was here 13 months with him together in this place. In his case, we speak of wisdom and dedication. And in the most difficult moments he remained calm.And at the more serious attacks, coming from inside and outside, he responded with dignity. He was always ready to support more difficult sacrifices, so that the things of God could advance. Just when I recall all the attacks on the part of the Curia, I have sufficient reason to say: the deportment of Tomislav, the answers and the behavior in the face of the bishop, the prayers and fasting despite denigrations, are one of the proofs that she is &#8211; the Queen of peace.</p>
<p>He often repeated. if anyone is disturbed, I&#8217;ll be ready to get out of the way, because that&#8217;s for the glory of God. When he knew about the transfer he reacted with calm: I am ready, in humility, to accept every decision and every decree. All of us in the house reacted with emotion. And Tomislav knew, as we all knew, that our Superiors were moving him at the request of the Bishop. It is difficult to say how unjust this request is: one thing is certain &#8211; the intention is to punish Tomislav and shut down everything that happened here.</p>
<p>He is already at Vitina. We hope he will be able to come and continue to work in the extraordinary plan of God and collaborate with our Gospa, who is slowly but surely revealing her plan.</p>
<p>I am profoundly convinced, and this is also my prayer: that the Gospa, who in so many messages has made people know to count on her, will impart the grace of love and more profound peace!</p>
<p>With reason Fr. Laurentin said: friar Tomislav, the diligent gardener has cultivated and guided the new people of God.</p>
<p>I remain here, I hope to be chosen in the providence of God to continue what has become a tradition. If I am not sure that God is guiding these events, this evening I will be without fear and trepidation before the great responsibility. I will continue to labor with the groups of pilgrims and with individuals to inform them about the message and development of the events here at Medjugorje. I know that was much more secure while Tomislav was here continually. But may God&#8217;s will be done. That&#8217;s how the Gospa&#8217;s plan will be fulfilled. That the thing will not happen without our sacrifice, prayer, and fasting, that is clear above all. I learned from my dear brother Tomislav and experienced concretely what it means to let yourself be guided and be ready to work as long as God wants. And as well, I know the other friars are ready as are the sisters.</p>
<p>Today friar Petar Ljubicic arrived.  He loves Medjugorje, loves the Gospa, and that&#8217;s enough.</p>
<p>Amen.  So be it!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><em>&#8211; From this statement and from the subsequent events some clear facts follow, in plain terms:</em></p>
<p>First, <em>friar Tomislav Vlasic does not remain &#8220;a luminous figure in the history of these apparitions&#8221;, but a shadowy figure, &#8220;a myth-maker [mistificatore] and charismatic magus&#8221; as Bishop Zanic called him.[17] and finally the Holy See dismissed him from religious life and reduced him to the lay state warning him of excommunication if he does not obey the precepts issued up to now. The gravest sanction for a priest. </em></p>
<p>Second,<em> he spiritually and pastorally &#8220;channeled&#8221; all these &#8220;apparitions&#8221;, as his colleague friar Slavko put it in his inspired and accurate way; he controlled it, he created myths. created fantasies, always glorified himself, and even perjured himself before the Bishop.</em></p>
<p>Third, <em>the &#8220;attacks&#8221; of the Bishop are founded on facts and canonically justified. And the &#8220;denigrations&#8221; of which friar Slavko writes are the sad facts, easily demonstrable about T. Vlasic because of his double life.[18] All these sad truths were known also to the Superiors and to the same friar Slavko Barbaric, and yet he speaks of denigrations!</em></p>
<p>Fourth,<em> the thought of R. Laurentin, quasi-official historian of the &#8220;phenomena&#8221; of Medjugorje from 1983 to 1997, according to whom Vlasic was a &#8220;gardener who cultivated and guided the new people of God&#8221;, is shown to be completely out of place in the light of the statement of Holy See on Vlasic, accused of &#8220;spreading dubious doctrines, manipulating consciences, suspect mysticism, disobedience to legitimate orders, and violations against the sixth commandment.&#8221; If you understand that this does not only refer to his time in Italy, since he regularly and systematically came to Medjugorje, to his big house whose construction the Franciscan fathers, through the parish priest of Medjugorje, approved in 1994, and where he directed retreats in which he not only &#8220;manipulated consciences&#8221;, but also called upon spirits! The Curia of his community have received proof.[19]</em></p>
<p><em> Fifth, friar Slavko wants to continue the work of friar Tomislav, to &#8220;channel&#8221; things according to his own intentions. He too, like Vlasic, will be praised by the &#8220;apparitions of Medjugorje&#8221;. He too is convinced of being chosen by the providence of God. And now: how can you prove to such fanatics that they are &#8220;false prophets&#8221;!<br />

<description><![CDATA[padre Livio Fanzaga Dopo la larga diffusione sui media mondiali della riduzione allo stato laicale d]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 155px"><img title="padre Livio Fanzaga" src="http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8092/0a52.jpg" alt="padre Livio Fanzaga" width="145" height="181" /><p class="wp-caption-text">padre Livio Fanzaga</p></div>
<p>Dopo la larga diffusione sui media mondiali della riduzione allo stato laicale dell&#8217;ormai ex francescano Tomislav Vlasic, il noto padre Livio Fanzaga aveva cercato (nuovamente, <em>ndr.</em>) di smentire, attraverso un comunicato, il diretto coinvolgimento del &#8220;sacerdote ribelle&#8221; nel &#8220;fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221;.</p>
<p>Secondo il direttore di Radio Maria, «<em>ciò che la S. Sede contesta all&#8217;ex francescano non sono le sue attività pastorali a Medjugorje, dove ha svolto, con altri frati, l&#8217;ufficio di <strong>coadiutore parrocchiale </strong>(non quindi di parroco) <strong>dall&#8217;autunno 1981 al settembre 1985</strong>, ma le sue attività in Italia, dal 1988 al 2008, quando lui ha dato vita a una sua personale comunità religiosa.</em>»</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>«<em>Nei tre anni e mezzo che è stato a Medjugorje l&#8217;ex frate ha svolto un&#8217;attività parrocchiale centrata soprattutto su un gruppo di preghiera giovanile, al quale però <strong>non hanno mai partecipato i sei veggenti</strong>, eccezione fatta per Marija, che partecipava sia al gruppo parrocchiale sia a quello guidato direttamente dalla Madonna mediante il veggente Ivan.</em>»</p>
<p>«<em>E&#8217; quindi un&#8217;affermazione che non corrisponde alla verità sostenere che l&#8217;ex frate sia stato la guida o l&#8217;assistente spirituale dei veggenti. Non è corretto neppure metterlo in rapporto col &#8220;fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221; dal momento<strong> che vi manca da 23 anni</strong>.  <strong>Egli non ha mai ricoperto l&#8217;ufficio nè di guida spirituale, nè di assistente spirituale, nè di confessore dei sei veggenti.</strong> Più tardi la sola Marija P. si è scelta un direttore spirituale nella persona di Fra Slavko</em>,» conclude padre Livio.</p>
<p>In un <a title="[ESCLUSIVO] Le cronache di Vlasic: il direttore spirituale, la suora e la scomunica" href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/esclusivo-le-cronache-di-vlasic-il-direttore-spirituale-la-suora-e-la-scomunica/#1" target="_blank">nostro articolo del 30 Luglio 2009</a>, avevamo già ricostruito la cronistoria del rapporto tra il &#8220;francescano ribelle&#8221; e il &#8220;fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221; ed un attento lettore avrebbe già potuto constatare le inesattezze nelle affermazioni del direttore di Radio Maria, prima fra tutte il periodo nel quale Vlasic ha sostituito padre Jozo Zovko e il suo ruolo a Medjugorje.</p>
<p>Nonostante questo, sono arrivate alla nostra redazione numerose e-mail nelle quali, citando il comunicato di padre Livio, è stata insistentemente richiesta, il più delle volte con volgarità e anatemi, la &#8220;correzione&#8221; del nostro articolo in quanto &#8220;fuorviante&#8221;.</p>
<p>In una di queste viene sostenuto che padre René Laurentin, primo promotore del &#8220;fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221; e frequentatore dal 1983, è «male informato» e l&#8217;unico vero testimone è padre Livio, «poichè dall&#8217;85 che và e viene da lì ed è forse l&#8217;unico testimone BEN informato  al 100%.»</p>
<p>Oggi, finalmente, quanto abbiamo scritto nel citato articolo viene corroborato dall&#8217;intervento della curia di Mostar, che con un lungo comunicato fa chiarezza sulle implicazioni di Tomislav Vlasic nel &#8220;contesto del fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221;. E senza guanto di velluto.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">«<em>Come l&#8217;anno scorso, quando la Santa Sede ha sanzionato il rev. Vlašić con l&#8217;interdetto minacciandolo di pene ancor più severe se non avesse obbedito, così anche quest&#8217;anno sono apparsi <strong>numerosi commenti nei  mass media per proclamare la non connessione tra il „fenomeno di Medjugorje“ e il „caso di Vlašić“</strong></em>,» si legge nella <a title="Il contesto del &#34;fenomeno di Medjugorje&#34;, I." href="http://www.cbismo.com/index.php?mod=vijest&#38;vijest=418" target="_blank">prima parte del comunicato</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">«</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>Se in ambo le lettere</em></span><span style="font-size:10pt;">,»</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em> </em>prosegue<em>, </em></span><span style="font-size:10pt;">«</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>e in riferimento alle due pene più gravi <strong>si rammenta esplicitamente il „fenomeno di Medjugorje“</strong>, nel quale è coinvolto Tomislav Vlašić, come mai non c&#8217;è connessione tra l&#8217;uno e l&#8217;altro?</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Viene subito confermato che Vlasic ha dimorato almeno fino al 1977 in una comunità religiosa a Zagabria, anno in cui «<em>f</em></span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>u nominato canonicamente assistente spirituale nella parrocchia di Čapljina</em>» in cui è rimasto «<em>fino </em></span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>al <strong>17 agosto 1981</strong>, quando è passato a Medjugorje, <em>proprio marte (di sua volontà, ndr.)</em>, senza un necessario avviso e senza approvazione del vescovo.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Segue la citazione dal libro </span><em>Racconto e messaggio delle apparizioni di Medjugorje</em> di René Laurentin, di cui avevamo già parlato nel <a title="[ESCLUSIVO] Le cronache di Vlasic: il direttore spirituale, la suora e la scomunica" href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/esclusivo-le-cronache-di-vlasic-il-direttore-spirituale-la-suora-e-la-scomunica/#2" target="_blank">nostro articolo</a>. Del suo ruolo a Medjugorje, il comunicato attesta che «<span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>Tomislav quindi già il sesto giorno dopo le „apparizioni“ è a Međugorje, e dopo l&#8217;arresto di fra Jozo Zovko, il 17 agosto, passa del tutto nella parrocchia di Medjugorje, dove il Provincialato lo „nomina“ <strong>vicario parrocchiale</strong>.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">E&#8217; quindi falso quanto sostenuto da padre Livio: Vlasic era già <strong>vicario parrocchiale</strong> nell&#8217;<strong>Agosto del 1981.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Trova conferma anche la relazione tra l&#8217;ex francescano e Suor Rufina, di cui abbiamo <a title="[ESCLUSIVO] Le cronache di Vlasic: il direttore spirituale, la suora e la scomunica" href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/esclusivo-le-cronache-di-vlasic-il-direttore-spirituale-la-suora-e-la-scomunica/#0" target="_blank">ampiamente parlato</a>: «i</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>l vescovo Žanić, non conoscendo <strong>la vita morale di Vlašić e la sua implicazione nell&#8217;“affare di Zagabria“</strong>, ha emanato, il 27 luglio dello stesso anno, il decreto per il suo trasferimento e svolgimento della sua attività a Međugorje.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">E&#8217; chiaro che l&#8217;&#8221;<em>affare di Zagabria</em>&#8220;, a cui viene accostata <strong>la vita morale di Vlasic</strong>, è un palese riferimento ai trascorsi fra Vlasic e Manda Kozul, fatti risalenti al 1976, durante la loro permanenza nella comunità &#8220;mista&#8221; di Zagabria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Della sua influenza sui &#8220;veggenti&#8221; ed il suo rapporto con loro, invece, viene presentata una innumerevole serie di prove difficilmente contestabili. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">«</span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;">Nella <strong><em>Cronaca delle apparizioni</em></strong>, condotta allora da fra Tomislav Vlašić, leggiamo:„</span><span style="font-size:10pt;">21. VIII. 1982</span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>. (Sabato). <span style="color:#ff0000;">In mattinata fra Tomislav e fra Slavko hanno parlato con i veggenti. La conversazione è andata nel senso dell’edificazione delle loro personalità e dell’indicazione del loro ruolo nel contesto di questi eventi, specialmente riguardo alla loro autorevolezza, che non devono mettere in gioco dando le risposte a tutte le domande, ma indirizzino la gente sulla via della conversione e dell’attesa delle promesse di Dio.</span>”</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">«<em>Nella <em><strong>Cronaca</strong> </em>del 12 aprile 1984. Vlašić ha scritto: „</em></span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Oggi ho parlato con tutti i veggenti. Ho richiamato la loro attenzione sulla necessità di non rilasciare dichiarazioni a nessuno senza che noi ne siamo informati</span>.”</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Prosegue citando l&#8217;ormai famosa pagina del diario di Vicka in cui «</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>la presunta apparizione lodava molto l&#8217;opera di Vlašić nella guida dei „veggenti“.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">«</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>Il testo letterale di Vicka: „<span style="color:#ff0000;">Eravamo io e Jakiša la Gospa è venuta alle 6,3 minuti ci ha guardati bene. Poi la Gospa ha detto di Tomislav, prima l&#8217;ha guardato e poi ha detto: potete ringraziare molto Tomislav perché vi guida così bene.</span>“</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">La stessa &#8220;apparizione&#8221; avrebbe raccomandato a uno dei &#8220;veggenti&#8221;, trattasi del controverso <a title="INCHIESTA ESCLUSIVA: «Nessuno dei veggenti di Medjugorje si è mai arricchito grazie alle apparizioni.» Ecco le prove del contrario." href="http://abateoimpertinente.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/inchiesta-esclusiva-%c2%abnessuno-dei-veggenti-di-medjugorje-si-e-mai-arricchito-grazie-alle-apparizioni-%c2%bb-ecco-le-prove-del-contrario/" target="_blank">milionario Ivan Dragicevic</a>, «</span><span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">d</span></span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">opo la sua domanda di un consiglio, di finire le medie superiori e che poi gli avrebbe mostrato cosa fare. Gli ha detto anche di affidarsi a fra Tomislav Vlašić affinché lo guidi spiritualmente</span></em>.» (</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>Cronaca delle apparizioni,</em> 5 marzo 1984)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Dopo il trasferimento di Vlasic a Vitina, prende il posto </span><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt;font-size:10pt;">di &#8220;direttore spirituale dei veggenti&#8221; Slavko Barbarić, anche lui </span><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt;font-size:10pt;">in seguito </span><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt;font-size:10pt;">sospeso a divinis per la sua disobbedienza. Il giorno stesso, </span><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt;font-size:10pt;">Barbarić </span><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt;font-size:10pt;">scrive nella </span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>Cronaca delle apparizioni</em>: «</span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;">Non posso non riferirmi a quel che è successo oggi. Fra Tomislav Vlašić è stato trasferito. Si è congedato oggi nella messa alta. Tutta la chiesa era commossa e in lacrime. E a ragione. Tomislav rimane nella storia di queste apparizioni una figura luminosa. </span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>Davvero era profetico e coraggioso venire dopo il carcere di fra Jozo Zovko e proseguire il lavoro.</em> </span><em><span style="font-size:10pt;">[...] </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">Con la sua esperienza pastorale e spirituale ha canalizzato quella grande fonte che è scaturita il giorno delle apparizioni. <span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Parimenti saggio, pieno di Spirito di Dio</span></span><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"> ha guidato i veggenti, la parrocchia e i pellegrini</span></strong>. [...] </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">Sono profondamente convinto, e questa è anche la mia preghiera: <strong>che la Gospa, <span style="color:#ff0000;">che in tanti messaggi gli faceva sapere di contare su di lui</span>, gli impetrerà la grazia dell&#8217;amore e della pace più profonda</strong>!»</span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p>Nella <a title="Il contesto del &#34;fenomeno di Medjugorje&#34;, II." href="http://www.cbismo.com/index.php?mod=vijest&#38;vijest=417" target="_blank">seconda parte del comunicato</a> viene dato ampio spazio all&#8217;argomento &#8220;compleanno della Madonna&#8221;, nel quale non entramo nel merito se non per evidenziare il coinvolgimento diretto di Tomislav Vlasic nel &#8220;contesto del fenomeno Medjugorje&#8221;.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Secondo la <em>Cronaca delle apparizioni</em>, infatti, nelle &#8220;visioni&#8221; la presunta apparizione dice che il 2000<sup>o</sup> &#8220;compleanno della Madonna&#8221; era il 5 agosto 1984. «</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>Il cappellano</em> (vice-parroco, <em>ndr.</em>) <em>d&#8217;allora, fra Tomislav Vlašić, ha trasmesso tale invenzione anche al Papa a Roma e al vescovo Žanić a Mostar. Ecco che cosa leggiamo nella <strong><em>Cronaca</em></strong>, condotta dallo stesso Vlašić. [...] </em></span>„<em>Visioni &#8211; I veggenti hanno avuto l&#8217;incontro con la Gospa. Il piccolo Jakov le ha fatto gli auguri di compleanno. Lei era tutta esultante dicendo che questo è uno dei suoi giorni più felici. Ha esortato i veggenti alla perseveranza nella fede e nella preghiera</em>“.»</p>
<p>Diversamente, viene fatto notare che René Laurentin scrive nel suo libro, <em>Racconto e messaggio delle apparizioni di Medjugorje</em>, che «<span style="font-size:10pt;">„<em> </em></span><em>l&#8217;8 settembre, nella festa della Natività, la Vergine appare con il bambino Gesù. È proprio in casa di Jakov. C&#8217;è anche Vicka: &#8211; Cara Gospa, ti auguro buon compleanno &#8211; le dice familiarmente tendendole la mano. La Madonna prende la sua mano tesa, ma Vicka non osa fare altrettanto, e Jakov confuso per la sua audacia le chiede di non parlarne.“</em>»</p>
<p>Il 28 Maggio del 1984, sarà proprio Vlasic ad annunciare il nuovo &#8220;compleanno della Madonna&#8221; . Scriveva il francescano: «<em>Oggi ho visitato il p. vescovo Pavao Žanić. Gli ho portato l’ultima parte del <em>Diario d</em>i Jelena e di Marjana Vasilj. Gli ho portato anche il messaggio della Gospa dato a Jelena per lui, per il S. Padre e per il pubblico cristiano che il 2000<sup>o </sup>genetliaco della Gospa è il 5.08.1984.</em>»</p>
<p>Dopo un avvio in sordina dei festeggiamenti di questo nuovo compleanno e il trasferimento di Vlasic a Vitina, è <span style="font-size:10pt;">Slavko Barbarić a prendere le redini dell&#8217;&#8221;avvenimento&#8221;.</span></p>
<p>Nel 1985 iniziano ad arrivare pellegrini a centinaia e già dal 1987 la presenza degli italiani era notevole. Nel Settembre del 1988, però, anche <span style="font-size:10pt;">Slavko Barbarić viene</span> trasferito.</p>
<p>Nonostante questo, il 5 Agosto 1989 viene organizzato il primo raduno dei giovani. Secondo quanto scritto da <span style="font-size:10pt;">Barbarić, consisteva essenzialmente </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">«<em>nell&#8217;adorazione perpetua organizzata dai giovani.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Il primo festival dei giovani, vero e proprio, verrà organizzato nel 1990. Nel comunicato dell curia di Mostar viene portato alla luce un interessante aspetto di questo raduno: la guida sarà proprio Tomislav Vlasic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">«</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>„Fra Tomislav Vlašić <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>guida tutta la settimana</strong></span>“, leggiamo sotto la data del 30 luglio 1990. Alla fine del „festival“ sotto la data del 6 agosto è scritto: „Alle 14,00 <strong>si sono riuniti gli organizzatori con <span style="color:#ff0000;">fra Tomislav Vlašić e Slavko</span></strong>. Abbiamo deciso di prendere la stessa settimana (<em>l&#8217;anno prossimo</em>).</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Anche nell&#8217;anno successivo l&#8217;ex francescano sarà presente. Scriveva </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">Barbarić: «</span><span style="font-size:10pt;">„<em>Molti giovani sono rimasti tutta la notte attendendo la s. messa. Alle 5,15 abbiamo cominciato a cantare le litanie, e „Siamo venuti da te, o Madre cara“. <strong>La s. messa presieduta da <span style="color:#ff0000;">fra Tomislav Vlašić</span></strong>. Ha parlato esortativamente della croce, pace e trasfigurazione.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">E&#8217; chiaramente falso, quindi, quanto affermato da padre Livio. Ed è altrettanto strano che</span> un &#8220;testimone illustre&#8221; come lui, che appunto frequenta Medjugorje dal 1985, sia all&#8217;oscuro di questi fatti.</p>
<p>Come può affermare che Vlasic non abbia più messo piede a Medjugorje da 23 anni se nel 1990 era guida del festival dei giovani e nel 1991 era ancora allo stesso festival?</p>
<p>La curia di Mostar conclude il comunicato tornando sul caso Vlasic emerso nel 2008 e conclusosi con la sua riduzione allo stato laicale nel 2009, rammentando che <span style="font-size:10pt;">«<em>in tutti e due i casi, l&#8217;anno scorso e quest&#8217;anno, è stato chiaramente detto, <em>primo,</em> <strong>che il suo caso è stato studiato „nel contesto del fenomeno di Medjugorje“, </strong>e, <em>secondo,</em></em> <em>che gli è assolutamente vietato fare dichiarazioni specialmente in rapporto al „fenomeno di Medjugorje“,</em>» ed esorta i lettori prudenti a trarre le conclusioni «<em>i</em></span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>n base a tutto quanto esposto, sul suo legame diretto, sul suo coinvolgimento ed influsso nel „fenomeno di Medjugorje“</em>.»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Infine viene nuovamente ricordato, citando il libro del cardinale </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">Tarcisio Bertone</span><span style="font-size:10pt;"> &#8211; </span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>L&#8217;ultima veggente di Fatima</em> -, che «<em>i</em></span><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em> pellegrinaggi a Medjugorje che si svolgono in maniera privata, questa Congregazione ritiene che sono permessi a condizione che non siano considerati come un’autenticazione degli avvenimenti in corso e che richiedono ancora un esame da parte della Chiesa.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">«<em>Detto diversamente: <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>i pellegrinaggi a Medjugorje non sono permessi se suppongono e auteticano e ritengono autentici gli „avvenimenti in corso“</strong></span>.</em>»</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">E finora né il vescovo locale, né le Conferenze Episcopali, né la Santa Sede hanno riconosciuto né proclamato nulla di autentico nel „fenomeno di Medjugorje“.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">NA GÓRZE OBJAWIEŃ </span><span style="color:#808080;"><span style="color:#333333;">-</span> <span style="color:#808000;">Medjugorje, Bośnia i Hercegowina</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span style="color:#808000;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-220" title="medj1" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj1.jpg" alt="medj1" width="600" height="449" /></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Górą Objawień zwykle nazywamy miejsce pierwszych objawień Matki Bożej na wzgórzu Crnica, kilkaset metrów od przysiółka Bijakovići, zwanego Podbrdo (dosł. pod wzgórzem). Od zabudowań do miejsca objawień prowadzi stroma ścieżka, którą poszerzyły i wytarły miliony pielgrzymów przychodzących na to miejsce, tak że teraz jest widoczna nawet z daleka.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-221" title="medj2" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj2.jpg" alt="medj2" width="353" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Samo miejsce objawień to wielkie kamienisko o długości ponad stu metrów, wydeptane przez nogi pielgrzymów, bez jednego źdźbła trawy pomiędzy głazami, pozbawione grudek ziemi, a nawet kamyczków. W połowie drogi stoi wielki drewniany krzyż – bez Ukrzyżowanego Jezusa. Tam w trzecim dniu objawień 26 czerwca 1981 r. Matka Boża objawiła się wizjonerce Mariji Pavlović. Tamtego wieczoru Marija po wspólnym objawieniu wraz z Vicką, Ivanką, Mirjaną, Jakovem i Ivanem na chwilę przed pozostałymi zbiegła w dół. Tu Marija ponownie zobaczyła smutne oblicze Matki Bożej, a w tle wielki Krzyż, poruszając rękoma mówiła: „POKÓJ, POKÓJ, POKÓJ i tylko pokój! Pokój musi zapanować pomiędzy Bogiem i człowiekiem, ale i pomiędzy ludźmi.”</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#808080;"><span style="color:#333333;"><span style="color:#333333;">GOSPA – KRÓLOWA POKOJU –</span> <span style="color:#808000;">Medjugorje, Bośnia i Hercegowina</span></span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#808080;"><span style="color:#333333;"><span style="color:#808000;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-222" title="medj5" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj5.jpg" alt="medj5" width="600" height="449" /></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Maryja, nazywana przez Chorwatów “GOSPA”, ukazała się szóstce dzieci (a właściwie już młodzieży w wieku 10-17 lat) 25 sierpnia 1981 r. na górze zwanej PODBRDO. To wydarzenie miało na zawsze zmienić historię wioski, a może nawet świata. Od tego bowiem dnia Maryja ukazywała się dzieciom co dzień – początkowo na tej górze, później w różnych miejscach – po prostu tam, gdzie znajdowały się dzieci.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-223" title="medj9" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj9.jpg" alt="medj9" width="353" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">W punkcie, który wizjonerzy określili jako miejsce objawień Matki Bożej postawiono figurkę Królowej Pokoju, która została poświęcona 8 września 2001 roku. Figurka jest identyczna jak ta, która znajduje się przed kościołem parafialnym. Jest to dar od pielgrzymów z Korei. Tak ogromne rzesze ludzi może przyciągać do tego miejsca tylko coś naprawdę wyjątkowego. Bez względu na porę dnia i nocy zawsze obecni są tu pielgrzymi lub grupy modlitewne zatopione w modlitwie, śpiewające i trwające w ciszy.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">OBJAWIENIA MATKI BOŻEJ</span> <span style="color:#333333;">- <span style="color:#808000;">Medjugorje, Bośnia i Hercegowina</span></span></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;"><span style="color:#808000;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-224" title="medj6" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj6.jpg" alt="medj6" width="353" height="470" /><!--more--></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Choć nie od razu dano wiarę temu, co mówią wizjonerzy, to jednak już wkrótce objawienia odbywały się w obecności tłumów ludzi zjeżdżających ze wszystkich stron. Często te wydarzenia poprzedzone były różnymi znakami widzianymi również przez innych ludzi, takimi jak migające światła czy wirujące słońce. Komuniści różnymi sposobami walczyli z tym niepokojącym dla nich zjawiskiem. Przesłuchiwano dzieci, specjalne komisje badały ich zdrowie psychiczne, więziono też jednego z księży – ojca Joso Sowkę.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-225" title="medj11" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj11.jpg" alt="medj11" width="353" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Według jednolitego świadectwa wizjonerów Matka Boża w czasie objawień dawała im konkretne przesłania, aby je przekazywali ludziom. Chociaż było ich więcej, można je jednak sprowadzić do pięciu podstawowych: orędzia pokoju, wiary, nawrócenia, modlitwy i postu.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-226" title="medj8" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj8.jpg" alt="medj8" width="353" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Od czasu pierwszych objawień Medjugorie stało się miejscem szczególnych łask. Dokonało się tu mnóstwo uzdrowień ciała. Ale najważniejsze jest to co dzieje się w konfesjonałach – uzdrowienie dusz. O tym wiedzą najlepiej ci, którzy słuchają tam spowiedzi. Często ten konfesjonał – nawrócenie ludzi, ich radość i szczęście pomaga kapłanom pogłębić ich własna wiarę.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333333;">PIELGRZYMI W MEDJUGORJE</span> <span style="color:#333333;">- <span style="color:#808000;">Medjugorje, Bośnia i Hercegowina</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#333333;"><span style="color:#808000;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-227" title="medj10" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj10.jpg" alt="medj10" width="600" height="387" /></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Do Medjugorie przyjeżdżają pielgrzymki z całego świata. W wieczornym nabożeństwie, które trwa kilka godzin (trzy części różańca, msza św., różaniec pokoju, modlitwa o uzdrowienie ciała i duszy, czuwania), kościół św. Jakuba, prowadzony przez ojców franciszkanów, nie mieści wszystkich pielgrzymów (latem nabożeństwa odbywają się na zewnątrz).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228" title="medj7" src="http://swiatmoimioczami.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medj7.jpg" alt="medj7" width="353" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Każdy z pielgrzymów inaczej przeżywa spotkanie z Matką Bożą. Jedni śpiewają, inni wznoszą ręce, modlą się, a jeszcze inni płaczą lub też stoją w ciszy i skupieniu wpatrując się w oblicze Matki Bożej. Na pewno każdy z pielgrzymów wraca do domu z radością, że można było doświadczyć tak ciekawego spotkania.. spotkania, które jednocześnie jest swego rodzaju tajemnicą serca.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Medjugorie oznacza po chorwacku miejscowość między górami, czyli Międzygórze. Znajduje się również pomiędzy dwoma regionami klimatycznymi: na północy górski, na południu nadmorski. Łańcuch górski o wysokości 2000 m.n.p.m. Zatrzymuje wpływ śródziemnomorskich mas powietrza i umożliwia sprzyjające warunki klimatyczne na rozwój roślin na obszarze Hercegowiny.</p>

Dove andate figli miei? Siete così tanto immersi nel peccato che non sapete fermarvi? Vi giustificate con il peccato vivendo in esso. Inginocchiatevi davanti alla croce e guardate mio Figlio. Lui ha sconfitto il peccato ed è morto, affinché voi, figli miei, possiate vivere. Permetetemi di aiutarvi, affinché non moriate, ma viviate con il mio Figlio per sempre. Grazie.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5170" style="border:0 none;margin:3px 7px;" title="medjugorje1" src="http://fratresinunum.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/medjugorje1.jpg?w=300" alt="medjugorje1" width="300" height="225" />30/09/09</strong> (<a href="http://www.sectorcatolico.com/2009/09/medjugorje-vuelve-al-ojo-del-huracan-el.html" target="_blank">Sector Catolico</a>) Segundo publica hoje InfoCatólica, o bispo de Mostar-Duvno, monsenhor Ratko Peric, voltou a proibir a propaganda e difusão das mensagens das supostas aparições de Medjugorge (Bósnia Herzegovina). Para tal, enviou recentemente uma série de cartas ao pároco e ao vigário paroquial do mal chamado “Santuário” com diretrizes específicas, a fim de evitar o aumento da confusão entre os fiéis que reina neste lugar desde 1981, quando começaram a se produzir estes fenômenos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Entre as indicações dadas por monsenhor Peric, destaca-se a proibição de que sejam publicadas as supostas mensagens e os comentários às mesmas, assim como o uso público de orações propostas pelas “aparições”. Igualmente nega que se possa chamar “Santuário” o lugar das mesmas, nem sequer privadamente, pois se trata apenas de uma igreja paroquial. O bispo ordena que os sacerdotes estrangeiros não dêem conferências nem retiros sem uma permissão expressa e ademais lhes exige um<em> celebret </em>de suas respectivas dioceses ou ordens religiosas para poder celebrar a Santa Missa no local.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas a coisa não pára por aí; o bispo tampouco quer que outras ordens religiosas, com exceção dos Franciscanos, decidam fixar ali sua residência. Monsenhor Ratko Peric anuncia igualmente o fechamento de uma igreja que havia sido construída com financiamento de particulares. Recorda também a proibição ao “Oásis de paz”, desde dezembro do ano passado, de manter uma custódia com o Santíssimo Sacramento em sua capela privada e de dirigir uma adoração eucarística, advertindo de que tal associação religiosa não pode residir no território de sua diocese. Por último, a máxima autoridade da Igreja no local ordenou a retirada da frase “Medjugorge, um lugar de oração e reconciliação”, da página oficial da web.</p>

<p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:20px;text-align:justify;margin:1em 0 0;padding:0;">(<strong>InfoCatólica</strong>) Entre las disposiciones ordenadas por el obispo de Mostar-Duvno para Medjugorge, aparece también la prohibición de que otras órdenes religiosas, aparte de los franciscanos, decidan fijar allí su residencia sin su permiso. Monseñor Ratko Peric anuncia igualmente la clausura de una iglesia que había sido construida con financiación de particulares. Recuerda además la prohibición a &#8220;Oasis de paz&#8221;, desde diciembre del año pasado, de mantener una Custodia con el Sagrado Sacramento en su capilla privada y de dirigir una adoración ecuarística, advirtiendo de que tal asociación religiosa no puede residir en el territorio de su diócesis.</p>
<p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:20px;text-align:justify;margin:1em 0 0;padding:0;"><strong>Cambios en la web de las apariciones de Medjugorge</strong></p>
<p style="background-color:#ffffff;line-height:20px;text-align:justify;margin:1em 0 0;padding:0;">Tras prohibir que la parroquia de Medjugorge pueda recibir la conderación de santuario tanto sea de forma pública, privada, con publicidad o de manera no oficial, el obispo croata pide que se retire de la web de Medjugorje las palabras &#8220;Medjugorge- un lugar de oración y reconciliación&#8221;.</p>
