He jumped the gun. Until the phenomena is finished this is the best case scenario.
 
I didn’t see any backtracking there. The Archbishop clarified an earlier statement he made that wasn’t untrue, but it may have given the wrong impression to some people.

I agree. I don’t follow any of this Medjugorje stuff but my understanding was they could visit the site but the apparitions (or at least the ongoing ones) are not approved.
 
I heard about this before, and this struck me as an example of someone speaking without thinking first about what to say. It may be that he is the wrong person for his position as such an envoy, if he acted similarly on other occasions.

The official restriction has been, at least since 1991, that ‘private’ pilgrimages were allowed-that is, ones that didn’t state the Church’s approval of the apparitions, which is correct, as the Church has not given its official approval. The only thing that may have changed, was that, before, parishes and diocese were not allowed to sponsor such pilgrimages.

But, keep in mind, the Pope seems only interested in the very early visions…either the first seven to ten days. This means that recent messages have a very unlikely chance of being approved, as does the whole phenomenon on its own.

Keep in mind, many people have a strong desire to have these messages approved-so, when the official decision is made, it will likely not be given by a pro-medj website, blogger, or even a Catholic newspaper. So, look only to the Vatican, ot the CDF for an authoratative answer. I know that many people have had wonderful experiences in Medj, and would love to see it approved in their lifetimes. But please…be cautious, wait and pray that the truth be revealed, and revealed at the right time.
