The Great Marian-Catholic Apostasy

Heresy experiments in distortion; orthodoxy developes in proportion. The false emphasis is not only a wrong in itself but it is used as a means of diverting the eyes of men in the wrong direction. Van Zeller

The Great Marian-Catholic Apostasy

The Great Marian-Catholic Apostasy by David Hughes

'Even in the devotion to, or in the reception of the Eucharist: the faithful are only truly united to Christ and to his Mystical Body, the Church, through the Bishops.

Cut off from the Bishops not even devotion to the Eucharist itself can unite the faithful to the Mystical Body of Christ.' [Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia 2003, Chap 4, part 39]

Today through false apparitions, the devil has succeeded in catastrophically damaging the Church by creating a very real spiritual schism joined by countless numbers of Marian Catholics.

He has effectively blocked the spiritual power of the Church in the world, by destroying the perfect union of the faithful with the Mystical Body of Christ. He has accomplished this by luring Catholics to willfully disregard, and to intentionally disobey to the explicit decrees of the Bishops, the successors of the Apostles.

from same article
Supporters of Medjugorje never tire of saying that they await Rome's final decision - and yet they seem unaware that NEVER in history has the Roman Pontiff infringed on the judgment of the sovereign Bishop concerning the legitimacy of the 'visions" of the millions of schizophrenics - or frauds - who claim to have visions within any local province.

Rome never will either. Rome does not have immediate jurisdiction over such issues. Rather, the Vatican has tirelessly re-issued statements which clearly define that "only the local Bishop of any province has the authority to pass judgment on such matters. "The fact that the Holy Father appointed to Bishop Peric in 1994 (who was a staunch and vocal enemy of the messages) to hold the office of Bishop over the area of Medjugorje, should be enough to quiet any claims of private Papal support.

If the Pope felt that Medjugorje was a miraculous phenomenon - he has visited Croatia three times since the apparitions began - but never once did he set foot in Medjugorje.
