Medjugorje Commission Is Now Official
Vatican
The Vatican has officially confirmed the formation of a commission to investigate the reported Marian apparitions at Medjugorje. The commission will be headed by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the retired vicar of the Rome diocese.

F. John Loughnan I personally believe in Medjugorje but you are correct in saying that we are not required to believe in it by the Church since private revelation is not binding. I am currently working in a facility where author Fr. Richard Beyer is at and he has written a couple books on Medjugorje and another on Marian prayer and in talking to him there is definately no doubt in his mind about the apparitions. There are crazies who go to Medjugorje also (nobody is barred from going) so it really depends on who you speak to and what they have to relate that will give somebody either positive or negative information about the happenings there. Regardless of what anyone says there have been miraculous conversions to the faith that have occurred there-some stories come from people who went there to laugh at all the "fools" who would believe in such things.
