Holyrope ... In the world today, the Vatican has more to be concerned with than Our Lady's actual birthdate or the date it is celebrated. Compared to the large number of souls that have been converted and vocations called through Medjugorje, your point is a non-issue.

The statement made by Vicka that Our Lady supposedly had told her that her (Our Lady's) birthdate is August 5th...is something of great concern that the Vatican should have to consider, if they even Know that this was said! Hopefully they do!

Yes, I'm aware that part of the coverage is dubious. This is expected from secular media. In mitigation Beyond Belief is known for its cheesy supernatural quality and leaves things specifically ambiguous and contradictory.

Beware : 05: ... Paula Friedriksen,author " From Jesus to Christ" : " Jesus could have been her 5 th or 6 th child...there is no evidence of Virgin Birth... as a matter of fact in Koran there is more about Mary than in the bible " ,then on to next expert: a Jewish woman presenting Mary just as a Jewish girl" Having experienced overshadowing by the Holy Spirit myself with my grandaughter Monika Marie on May 3,1998, experienced rapture- the living waters flowing out of my belly - flight of my soul is there any doubt the Holy Spirit of God overshadowed the pure girl destined to bear the Living Word of The Living God,Our Lord Jesus Christ? Christians beware - we know what we believe in . Lucifer was the first one to assume himself equal to God,feeling himself so sophisticated ,all knowing - very much like the sophisticated man of this century who thinks he can explain away the idea of the One True God,thus sealing his own downfall!
