Vatican Rejected Medjugorje - Francis "Approved" it Anyway
On 6 August, Italian journalist David Murgia published the results of a confidential 2016 consultation within the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith concerning the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje on IlSegnoDiGiona.com.
Two Thirds of the Congregation said Medjugorje was NOT Supernatural
According to Murgia, 33 participants were asked to provide written opinions, or 'vota', on the Medjugorje phenomenon.
Murgia reports the following results (17 September 2016):
21 participants chose 'constat de non supernaturalitate' (not of supernatural origin).
9 participants chose 'constat de supernaturalitate' (supernatural origin).
3 chose 'non constat de supernaturalitate' (the supernatural character has not been established).
This corresponds to approximately 63.6 per cent for 'not supernatural', while only nine voted in favour.

The only apparition to have a "show on the road" and visionaries thinking the Holy Virgin would "drop baby Jesus", laugh with the apparition about some bishops getting what its coming to them if they don’t approve... There’s a list of things, signs and fruits that tells about how false the apparition is, but people prefer to go there and "see", some with faith some others for their kicks.
Apparitions ARE for the strength of the faith, as one thing all true Apparitions have in common is that it happens when faith is lacking by the laity and the clergy.
@yuca2111 Let me see.... I have seen it first hand on multiple visits over multiple years, I know one of the visionaries personally, hundred of Bishops and tens of thousands of Priests have visited with favorable judgements, Pope John Paul II was favorable, countless pilgrims have come to the faith or returned to the faith, every Mass is standing room only, thousands of confessions are heard each day, Adoration is packed every day... verses the opinion of someone whose only experience is google searches. If this is satanic deception he is doing a great job and maybe he has repented. This subject is very similar to all of the non Catholics that say we worship Mary. They make countless videos with all kinds of "fact" and "proofs" but we who have experienced Catholicism firsthand know that we do not worship Mary. Have you considered that all approved apparitions from the past were met with plenty of opposition from both the clergy and the faithfull before they were approved. How about waiting on the final decision of the Church. I for one will be the first to discard it if the Church condemns it. God Bless
