The Holy See is going to make an official announcement in the near future regarding the Medjugorje phenomena, according to Cardinal Vinko Puljic, head of the bishops’ conference in Bosnia.
As I have pointed out over the last few days the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is hardly likely to be positive. I understand one of the reasons why the Holy See is being compelled to act rather than following its strategy of merely referring enquirers to the statements made by the Bishop of Mostar is to prevent acts like the September 15th event in St Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna, were Cardinal Schönborn welcomed the "visionary", Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti. The Cardinal, incidentally, seems to be seen increasingly as a loose canon.
