I have no opinion one way or the other on Medjugorje. You may be in the position of everything looking like a nail because you're holding a hammer.

My default in this (or any other situation) is to presume that the Holy Father has done what needs to be done. I might have hammered the Cardinal a little harder (he is a sad case) but that's not my decision. Sure it was speculation on my part that he hadn't released the serious hammering, and I was wrong . . . but it was a reasonable speculation until we had more facts, and erring on the side of BXVI doing the right thing.

I am hesitant to criticize a man who is a brilliant thinker, an obviously orthodox Catholic, and working hard to restore continuity with Catholic tradition. All this second guessing, after awhile, borders on disobedience, and there's enough of that going around already (lots of it from people like the Cardinal).

You are correct AmericanMother. And put me down for the “anti-Medjugorje brigade”. I don’t believe that it is authentic. JMHO.
