Site Review for
Marian Times
http://www.marian-times.com/

RATINGS
Fidelity: DANGER! || Resources: Fair || Useability: Normal
First Evaluated: 01/17/07

DESCRIPTION
This site exists to promote the unapproved apparitions at Medjugorje. These apparitions have been disapproved by two successive bishops who are the competent authority. Unless and until an official statement is made in favor of the supernatural origin of the apparitions it is best to concentrate on apparitions which have been approved, such as Fatima.

On the official website of the Bishop of Mostar, under Medjugorje, Bishop Peric says,

"So many invalid sacraments, so much disobedience, violence, sacrilege, disorder, irregularities, and not a single "message" from tens of thousands of "apparitions" has been directed towards eliminating these scandals. A very strange thing indeed!

The Church, from the local to supreme level, from the beginning to this very day, has clearly and constantly repeated: Non constat de supernaturalitate! No to pilgrimages that would ascribe a supernatural nature to the apparitions, no shrine of the Madonna, no authentic messages nor revelations, no true visions!"

You've also been trashed on Marian Times, Denise:

Being trashed? You must be doing something right...

I won't respond in any fashion and all I will say is I have been trashed with the best of the "obedient" ones.

PS..... no one was banned and no transcript had to be "saved". Anyone is free to come and read but not anyone is free to post. Also, there is a warning to those who want to come here and argue the matter against the Bishop of Mostar.

Well semperficatholic.com is appearing to make headway. You know you are succeeding when the "other" team takes notice. And who exactly are the two teams? I believe we could called them:

Obedient VS. DISOBEDIENT!

Wow, what a great day for Semperficatholic! I am so excited.

I've thought of writing a response, but I really don't think it would happen quick. This Baylis guy needs some help.

Kevin, just leave it alone. Fr.O'Brien told me to ignore this kind of thing and to do as Jesus did; speak the truth and don't allow the reactions and emotions of others to ruin my day...Jesus didn't let it ruin His and just went on about His Father's work.

Concerning Medjugorje,Fr. O'Brien said not to talk to walls and that unless someone allows grace to come in, there is no convincing them otherwise. We can't change the way people think we can only put the information out there and they can accept it or reject it.

Blessings
Denise
