ANSWERS TO BURNING QUESTIONS
"Today too it is necessary ... to warn the People of God against false prophets, against the errors and superficiality of proposals that do not conform to the teaching of the divine Master."
Pope Benedict XVI
I sincerely pray that the information offered here will enlighten all those who have been deceived by the so-called apparitions and messages of Medjugorje. The rampant disobedience to the Bishop(s) of Mostar, especially by religious and clergy, is becoming inexcusable. If a little nobody like myself can research the “facts”, as I have for ten years, then so can men and women religious, as well as the faithful.
Speaking of visions in general, and in particular of the danger of desiring them, St. John of the Cross writes, in "The Ascent of Mount Carmel" (2.11:8 and 12):
.. So it has happened to many incautious and ignorant souls, who rely on these things to such an extent that many of them have found it hard to return to God in purity of faith; and many have been unable to return, so securely has the devil rooted himself in them; for which reason it is well to resist and reject them all. For, by the rejection of evil visions, the errors of the devil are avoided, and by the rejection of good visions no hindrance is offered to faith and the spirit harvests the fruit of them."
Obedience to the Magisterium of Holy Mother Church is the key to Heaven. Please do not reject this “key”, which opens the door to salvation. (DMW)

Private Revelation
By Carey Winters
[Taken from RealCatholicism 5 Volume I]
by Michael Davies
The present bishop, Bishop Ratko Peric, wrote with regard to the fourth edition of the book:
"You write with Catholic conviction and Christian frankness ...it is quite clear that you are driven by a desire for the truth in your investigations into the phenomenon of Medjugorje... Three episcopal commissions as well the entire Bishops' Conference have already been convinced that on the basis of the investigations that have been carried out to date it is impossible to confirm that there have been supernatural manifestations and messages in Medjugorje, but various superstitions are spreading. In your book you base yourself upon the official documents and teaching of the Church. There are far too many inaccurate versions of events spread throughout the world, above all by the efforts and the agency of those in the service of the so-called apparitions at Medjugorje."
Bishop Ratko Peric
