Reasons for Serious Skepticism about the Medjugorje Apparitions

Tradition and Sanity

Last week the Vatican gave a “sort of” approval to Medjugorje by granting a “nihil obstat” to the “phenomena” but without passing judgment on the supernatural origin of the “alleged apparitions.” There is a lot to be said about the problems with these alleged apparitions, regardless of the spiritual fruits that have taken place for some who visit the site. If the Lord can make water flow from a stone for Israel, He can certainly sanctify someone through prayer and sacraments at the site of a false apparition, as long as that person is of good will and not stubbornly attached to the false apparition as such. Today at Tradition & Sanity, a review of the definitive book on Medjugorje. This is a public episode.
