From the first
instances the spirit of MEDJUGORJE has not reconciled itself with the traditions, customs and Holy ordinances of Holy Mother Church..MEDJUGORJE is emotionally decadent
and spiritually depraved....the movement
arose from the charismatic notion of touching and laying on of hands which traditionally
is a charism reserved for the apostles themselves and so many proponents feel
the need to attach an inordinate amount of emotionality to their spirituality...hence the apparaent need to associate religious experience with interior consolation...as a result of the
inordinate zeal , inordinate self -love and vaulting pride this has led to a usurping of the apostolic
authority in that place ....the
abandonment of proper authority has divorced these souls from the reason
equation ... faith and reason=salvation...faith without reason =slave-ation or
depravation of truth which has as one of its effects freedom from oppression ....it is blind worship
religion is subverted and digresses to the point of superstition..where people
lust for signs and wonders...this lust for bodily comfort cancels out the
mortifications one receives through fasting which is supposedly one of the
calls to action by the apparent apparition..we also see depravation of the reason through sensory
illusion..people searching for signs in the sun ...the hostility seen against
the ordinary of that place is the result of envy and stems from a lack of
charity since many adherents feel jilted by that ordinary since their good
feelings which can be symbolically seen as their personal offering to God or approval of his presence in a supernatural character ... and so the local ordinary of MEDJUGORJE as a co adjutor for God has not accepted their offerings or emotional feeling about this place..and so like cain who had not felt he received his just due in regards
his offering to God ...many adherents have sought to murder the good character
of this bishop through calumny and detractions of character...since the devil
is a spiritual being ie. he has no lower appetites he can only commit sins associated with the intellect
namely envy and pride..we see these two sins abundantly in the aspect of the
dispositions of many of the adherents of medjugorje....we can also see that
since the church has made no official approval it is spiritually prideful to
claim mary is appearing at this place..to say one is sure when the church
itself is not is an act of pride and this judging harms unity in the church
since it makes one an authority where none can be claimed and so is a sin
against charity and justice since according to our respective vocations in the
mystical body of Christ we each have our own authority respective of our
station ...to go outside our authority is a sin of spiritual gluttony...also it
is a sin against charity since one is attempting to steal the rightful
authority from the ones whom Jesus has appointed in the first place to protect
the flock...it is a sin against justice since by God’s justice we are supposed
to protect our brothers from error but by making judgements outside our
authority we are prone to making error and so this is unjust for we are not
practicing humility by acknowledging our proper station in life....to judge
apparitions with the intention of protecting the flock from harm is a charism
set aside for successors to the apostles and not for lay –people....
all good that stems from MEDJUGORJE can be ascribed to the direct actions of grace through the sacraments and sacramentals used at this place ..with no certitude can one say that mary is appearing here...to say that we must wait and see for the results of a new comission we are contradicting Jesus in the gospel when he says he is the good shepherd and he will watch over the fold to protect it from the wolf of doubt..if we are to wait and see this means we walk in doubt based on our own frail perceptions which are fallible ...indeed without any certitude from the church we are acting on our own presumption..indeed the church has said it is not sure and so the safe road is one of caution...too much fire of zeal can and will indeed burn down the edifices of the church (the traditions) that have protected it for so long...http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/holy_see_confirms_formation_of_medjugorje_commission/
