Will Catholic media take the responsibility for misrepresenting the truth of the 'Medjugorje Vandalism' story?

The 2019 fire in the Basilica of Notre Dame in Paris was no accident. I'm sure most of us agree on that. The targeting of Catholic churches worldwide for arson, desecration and vandalism has become a worldwide pandemic. Alarming numbers of Catholic churches have burned in France, Canada and other places and Catholics are being martyred in places like Nigeria. Sadly, even the United States is complicit as President Trump has partnered with Israel's open assault on Christian villages and churches including the 1900-year-old Mausoleum of Saint Peter in Lebanon.

The vandalism which occurred in Medjugorje was something different and needs to be reported as such. Medjugorje is not a legitimate Catholic shrine but a place of deference. The Catholic church cannot approve the demonic events there- and never will. Sadly, though, elements within the church decided they could not stop the millions of people from going there so they gave the place a Nihil Obstat in a long-winded statement that basically made it a spiritual retreat house where people may go, pray, go to Mass and say the Rosary as long as they don't talk to the lying visionairies or put any stock in the banal and heretical messages.

Apparently, Cardinal Fernandez just wanted the Medjugorje problem to go away. Rather than condemn it and risk overturning the whole former Yugoslav economy, it would damn it with faint praise in hopes that it will eventually die on the vine.

However, as adept at the use of propaganda as the communists who founded the Medjugorje movement, the hucksters of Medjugorje will let no opportunity for publicity go to waste. So, when a Polish Catholic convert vandalized the outdoor props, with messages written in English, it was just made-for-tv worthy propaganda for the Medjugorje hucksters.

The headlines such as "Vandal desecrates Catholic shrine", that have peppered our news feeds surely have the six lying fraudsters grinning ear to ear in hopes that the new windfall of generated revenue will mean a new BMW or an additional tennis court on the grounds of their multi-million-dollar mansions.

What seemed to have been lost on Cardinal Fernandez is the real cost, not just financial but spiritual, of this decades-long fraud perpetuated against Catholics and the world.

The vandal, as it happens, is one of those victims. So devoted to hope of Medjugorje was he, that he made the trek- hundreds of miles, on foot from Poland in 2017. He became angry after learning the truth and says he has proof that the ''seers'' are fraudsters.

The communist controlled pro-Medjugorje machine will try to make an example of this man but the truth of what he knows must - and will- get out. The real ''desecration'' that has occurred is the desecration of our Catholic faith, by this aping of legitimate private revelation and the real criminals are the 6 "visionaries" defrauding the public for more than 4 decades.
