Incredibly, the "Gospa" told the seers that most souls go to Purgatory when they die, the next most to hell, then the least to heaven. Which of course contradicts Jesus' own words in the Gospel:

Matthew 7

13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.

14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!

Good point, Rutles4Ever!

Especially when we read what you quoted from Matthew 7. Yet, even priests who write books about Medjugorgie, like one for whom I was a temporary Chaplains' Assistant years ago seem unable to discriminate too well.

I guess what I'm trying to say is sometimes some "seer" at Medjugorgie says something that sounds like it's right out of Alice in Fantasy Land.

In some cases it even sounds like one of those old time Manichaen religions, I think this one was called the "Bogomils," that was in the same geneneral area 700 years (or so) ago.

I remember some Italian guy who wrote books about "Don Camilo," an Italian village priest. When folks asked him years ago, in 1962 or so, why he had stopped writing his books he told them:

"I'm seeing too much mixing of hell and holy water in the Catholic Church here in Italy today, and I want no part of it."

Funny thing, this whole business of Medjugorgie started not too many years later, in nearby Yugoslavia, or so I THINK!

How many visionaries have you read/heard about that have taken up a life of fame and fortune after/during their conversations with Our Lady?

Oh that's right, Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia of Fatima; Bernadette of Lourdes; Catherine Laboure of Paris after listening to Mary about the Miraculous Medal.
