Three separate church commissions have ruled “Non-Constat Supernaturalitate,” meaning, there is nothing supernatural taking place at Medjugorje.
Bishop Ratko Peric, the Bishop of Mostar, has authority over Medjugorie. The buck stops with him. Period. This is what he has to say on the official website of the Diocese of Mostar-Duvno:

**Note: to navigate this site, click on “Medjugorje” on the left. This will take you to the beginning of Bishop Peric’s 2004 statement. Then click on the word at the bottom of the introductory paragraph “Opširnije…” This will take you to the entire document titled, MEĐUGORJE: SECRETS, MESSAGES, VOCATIONS, PRAYERS, CONFESSIONS, COMMISSIONS by Ratko Perić, bishop of Mostar-Duvno, Feb 17, 2004.

Here is another condemnation by Bishop Zanic, Bishop Peric’s predecessor. This dates 1987:

Read all about what is essentially a strong condemnation, print it, and then give it to your parish priest. He is bound by ecclesiastical obedience to obey it, and so are the faithful EVERYWHERE.
A bishop has direct authority over the geographic region of his diocese by God, and to disobey Bishop Peric in this matter is to essentially disobey the Will of God. You priest is, actually, committing a sin against the Fourth Commandment by promoting Medjugorje, an unapproved apparition, at the pulpit. He should be informed.
The reason people think Medugorie is OK is because the promoters of Medjugorie are slick and are experts at publicity and promotion. They’ve managed to seduce millions of Catholics into believing an apparition that has already been ruled upon as Non-Constat Supernaturalitate; and, hence, have seduced millions into the sin of Ecclesiastic Disobedience, a very, very serious offence in the eyes of the church.
Your priest is probably misinformed. Give him these documents, and it should correct the problem.
God Bless.
