MARK MALLET BLOG: EXCELLENT REVIEW- MEDJUGORJE… WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW

VATICAN INSIDER (translated): Medjugorje, Parolin: "The Holy See wants to regulate the phenomenon"

On the question of Medjugorje, "it is the will of the Holy See to help regulate the phenomenon so that the faithful who come here can listen to the Word of God, celebrate the sacraments, and experience an authentic experience of faith." It is the Vatican Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin, to intervene on the delicate affaire for years in the center of studies and investigations by the Vatican.

Visiting these days in Croatia Cardinal answers questions of journalists to whom - reports on Sir - recalls that the Commission led results by Cardinal Camillo Ruini and mandated to shed light on the "phenomenon" of the Marian apparitions, which began in 1981 and not still interrupted, in the village of Herzegovina that every year attracts hundreds of thousands of faithful and pilgrims are all "in the hands of the Holy Father."

 


There is not only the "supernatural" dimension of the events to be analyzed, it has also highlighted the cardinal, it is equally important the question of the "pastoral care" of pilgrims. This is why the Pope appointed the Polish Archbishop Henryk Hoser as his "special envoy" on February 11 , not for a supplement of inquiry, but as a Vatican press, in order to "acquire more in-depth knowledge of the pastoral situation of that reality and above all the needs of the faithful who come to pilgrimage. "

Along with the Croatian press, Parolin has come to the merits of another equally thorny issue, which has remained unanswered so far: the canonization of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac. The Archbishop of Zagreb is a figure that, after decades, creates a profound division of Catholic Catholics who acclaim him as a holy pastor and Orthodox Serbs accusing him of being a collaborator of the Nazi-fascist regime during the Second World War.

Regard to the work of Stepinac during those dramatic years was established a year ago a joint commission between the Croatian Bishops' Conference and the Serbian Orthodox Church, which has completed its work, in the Casa Santa Marta, the past 12 to 13 July, under the leadership of President of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, Father Bernard Ardura , who, however, failed to achieve "a unambiguous interpretation".

However, Parolin says: "I believe that the work of the Commission has been helpful and that this process has helped to promote dialogue and understanding." "Wounds that leave historical facts can not be overcome from today to tomorrow," he added. It is important to keep the direction to go and work for communion and peace. Interreligious and ecumenical dialogue is a fundamental tool to achieve this goal. "

The documents produced by the Commission for the "common re-reading" of Archbishop Stepinac's life and work are, like those of Medjugorje, "in the hands" of the Pontiff, explained the Secretary of State. And he reiterated that Papa Bergoglio's "desire" is that this issue does not create tensions between the two peoples but help the common path. " In any case, "the question is internal to the Catholic Church and it seems important to emphasize it."

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 18- "On insensibility"

4. I have seen many people hear about death and the terrible judgment and shed tears, and with the tears still in their eyes they eagerly go to a meal. And I was amazed how this tyrant, this stinkpot of gluttony, by complete insensibility, can grow so strong as to turn the tables even on mourning.
