Medjugorge condemns itself by what is stated in the messages. Never mind mixing truth with error, that is sure sign right there that it is FAKE. One of the messages states that This Lady says, "All Religions are dear to me and my son". Now as Catholics we all know that only the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church is Dear to Our Blessed Mother and Her Son as it is the one that He gave His life for. What garbage in these messages and how ignorant and lacking in knowledge of the truth the faithful are who believe in this trash. It is TRASH and needs to be burnt in fire as it is against the Good God!

Anyone giving his/her opinion on Medjugorje should do so only after going there and pray to God to show the truth in his/her heart. This is for everyone, catholics or non catholics, the leaders of churches and us poor sinners. Who are we to judge? Faith, Hope and Love are from God and only Him. God bless you all.

As a retired law enforcement officer with 30 years of sifting thru lies, fraud and scams, I have watched the events in Medjugorje unfold since the mid 1980's. I have read everything that I have come across both in favor and opposed. I have visited Medjugorge twice and spoken with one of the visionaries (Ivan) here in Florida. I have never witnessed anything contrary to the faith. I not aware of the visionaries ever being disobedient to their bishops ( who have not been favorable to the situation) . I see thousands of people stand in line for hours to confess their sins, many who have been away from the faith for decades. I see people who have never spent more than 5 minutes in prayer in their lives, spend an hour on their knees in front of the host in adoration. I see more new vocations among the young than any other single source in the world. As Jesus says "can satan be divided against himself?" Some say it cannot be authentic because our lady would not appear so many times. Of course at Fatima many said our Lady would not appear at a garbage dump or ask the visionary to dig in the mud with her hands and eat the wild plants that she dug up. Because Our Lord or Our Lady does not act in the manner that WE think they should act does not make it false or true. Show me proof of formal heresey or show me pilgrims leaving the faith and we can debate the merits. When I see the spiritual carnage in our local parishes, universities and seminaries I am confused at those that condemn something that they only have third hand knowledge of. Our history is full people that labeled as frauds by the multitudes because they did not fit the image of who we expect God to appear to. St Paul, St Joan of Arc and St Padre Pio come to mind. Can a bad tree bear good fruit? Now all that being said, I will be the first to abandon Medjugorje if the church condemns it.

Now I really don’t believe in medjigorje
 
Medjugorje is not a fake in the sense that nothing is happening; it is a real demonic apparition. Compare the sadness and urgency of Mary at Fatima and see how much worse the world and Catholics
are now than in 1917 and you will see that the apparition says nothing much about the reality of moral evils and lack of Faith in the constant teachings of the Catholic Church. Cures are possible by demonic power. Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict xvi) declared the apparitions to contain "nothing Supernatural" ( that is , from God) in the 1990's when he was head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith during the pontificate of Pope Saint John Paul II (d. 2005) who never overturned Cardinal Ratzingers findings, even though they met weekly . As Pope, Benedict never reversed his findings .

 

Megaforgerie and Francis both agents of Satan

One of the few times Francis actual was right, was when said"Our Lady speaks to much at Medjugorje"! Common sense alone would immediately raise a "red flag" as to the veracity of claims of messages from OBL, on a daily basis and over a period of thirty eight years. Three Bishops have ruled against supernatural events. Countless claims of miraculous physical and spiritual healings have little if any creedence and can be legitimately attributed to psychological influences of religious fervour.

Medjugorie is fake.

 

Own comment: 

My opinion on Medjugorje lies somewhere in between that of mattsixteen24 and Mrs. Maureen Avila and is perhaps best summed up by mattsixteen24 alex j.

It is obviously not of supernatural origin, notwithstanding however many people line up to go to confession having been informed that all religions are dear to God.

At best it is entirely fake, and at worst it is of demonic origin. There is no other way to conclude based on the many falsehoods that have been alledgedly uttered.

That Bergoglio is in favour of it does not speak well of it anymore either. One may have made a case for it when Bergoglio was against it. However, not that he has turned to be seemingly in favour of it, in some odd fashion, we can pretty much conclude that it is as I have stated above, and that its message drives people away from the Faith rather than driving people towards it.
