Cardinal Puljic Nevertheless , Recognizes ThAt The Phenomenon Has 'Pastoral Significance,' Because 'The Medjugorje Phenomenon Is Not Just Gathering Faithful From Bosnia...
For thirty years, a small group of "visionaries" have said the Sanctified Virgin Mary has appeared twice every month in the town of Medjugorje, on the southwestern edge of Bosnia and Herzegovina.Many of tourists come here hunting for some Medjugorje hotel where they stay infrequently a fortnight. While the purported apparitions have attracted a computed 30 million travellers since they started on June twenty-four, 1981, 2 successive bishops of the diocese of Mostar-Duvno, in which Medjugorje lies, have ruled the phenomenon isn't confirmed to be of mystical origin (non constat de supernaturalitate) and have tried to limit pilgrimages to the site. Their judgment has been supported by the Bishops ' Meeting of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which issued an official statement in April 1991 that Vinko Cardinal Puljic, the archbishop of Sarajevo, recalled in Nov 2009 when he announced that "The doctrinal issue of the Medjugorje phenomenon is resolved."
Cardinal Puljic nonetheless , acknowledges the phenomenon has "pastoral significance," because "The Medjugorje phenomenon is not just gathering faithful from Bosnia, but from all over the world, and in places where folks gather to pray , God gives his blessing." That doesn't imply the claimed apparitions are real but simply that sensible bishops need to deal with the consequences of the purported apparitions in a pastoral manner.
Their efforts to do so nonetheless , have frequently been difficult by forces from outside the area who think the claimed apparitions to be real. His Excellency Ratko Peric, the prevailing bishop of Mostar-Duvno, highlighted one such case on January 2, 2010, when he released a statement regarding a visit by Austrian cardinal Christoph Schnborn to Medjugorje.
And now, another respected voice has weighed in : Fr. Gabriele Amorth, often called "the Vatican's exorcist."
Father Amorth has received much limelight since his publication in 1999 of An Exorcist Tells His Story (compare prices) and its 2002 follow up, An Exorcist : More Stories (compare prices). An exorcist for the diocese of Rome (not technically , "the Vatican's exorcist"), Dad Amorth seems a very holy and brave man. His actions as an exorcist place him on the front lines of the religious battle with the forces of heinousness and that remains true whether or not he has, occasionally, exaggerated the amount of exorcisms he has performed. (Dad Amorth claims to have performed 70,000 exorcisms between 1986 and 2010, or roughly 8 every day, a week per week, 365 days each year.)
What his actions as an exorcist don't do nonetheless , is give him a special understanding of what is or isn't happening at Medjugorje, much less a special expertise to communicate about it, far less the proper authority to make pronouncements on the validity of the apparitions.
That authority lies, as it usually has, with the local bishop, and his judgment remains the canonical statement on the events at Medjugorje, unless and till the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Religion, which convened a special commission in March 2010 to look at the purported apparitions, pronounces otherwise.
Put simply, anything Father Amorth reveals about Medjugorje has as much weight as anything I might say about it. He may accept that the local bishop is wrong in his judgment, but the Church claims that it is the local bishop, and not Dad Amorth or I, who has got the authority to make that judgment.
And the Church does so for excellent reasons : Catholics who start distrusting / mistrusting the Church and trusting instead in the allegations of personal revelation are treading on very dangerous ground. And that ground, alas, is ground that Father Amorth knows all too wellwhich makes his comments more misplaced, and therefore worrying as reported tagza.com.
