If I were you I'd take absolutely no consolation in any of this.
What that website portrays, at best, is an imitation of a hoax.
All it does is get attention to something that needs no attention.
The letter that is imaged there has several problems in it, like
most all of such letters to come from the Nunciature's office.
For example, they misspell Medjugorje three times in the official
letter, not getting it correct even once, and never spelling it the
same twice!
Medjorgurje
Medjogurge
Medjogurje One could go so far as to say this means they are deliberately
NOT referring to Medjugorje, or, that they don't know what they
are referring to at all.
This silly letter might seem to say that the purported visions of
"the former Yugoslavia" are not of anything supernatural, but it
does not say that at all. It says there is an investigation going
on, and that's all it says.
It quotes the "declaration" of the bishops of the former republic
of Yugoslavia in their letter of April 10th, 1991, where it says,
"On the basis of the research that has been done, it is not
possible to state that there were apparitions or supernatural
revelations."
It does not say that the current investigation has produced the
same judgment, it merely says the CDF has affirmed that all
should accept that declaration (letter of 1991), in regards to the
credibility of the "apparitions" in question.
Notice that it says "the credibility of the 'apparitions' in question."
That means, literally, that
the 'apparitions' are credible, to the
extent of the 'declaration' letter, and that letter does not say they
are not credible.
With such continuously ambiguous language, how can they expect
anyone to know what they are saying, if anything?
This Nunciature letter says that Mr. Dragicevic will be receiving
"apparitions" during his scheduled appearances at certain
parishes around the country, and will make presentations
regarding
"the phenomenon of Medjorgurje" (that would seem
to mean
Medjugorje).
Does the Nunciature letter say that the appearances of Mr.
Dragicevic are not to be allowed or condoned? No, it does not.
Does it say that the scheduled presentations are forbidden? No,
it does not.
Does it say that the anticipated "apparitions" that he plans to
receive standing there in front of the quivering masses of eager
viewers showing up for the "show" are not real or authentic
"apparitions"? No, it does not.
So this is all smoke and mirrors.
Perhaps
some scheduled appearances of Mr. Dragicevic
will be canceled, but when the avid eager masses of fanatics
start to raise a ruckus with their local parishes or at the
chancery offices downtown, you can be sure that the scheduled
appearances will go on
as planned. You should see this for what it is, just another publicity ploy,
to raise a rumble of controversy over something that ought to be
entirely forgotten. And the guy whose picture you see above, is
laughing all the way to the bank.
