Church Militant, Michael Voris Publishing More Fake News on Medjugorje – Rejects Vatican Commission’s Finding of Authenticity of Early Events

Church Militant, Michael Voris Publishing More Fake News on Medjugorje – Rejects Vatican Commission’s Finding of Authenticity of Early Events May 17, 2017

Today I reached out to Christine Niles, Executive Producer, News for  ChurchMilitant.com asking her if Church Militant  would comment on news reports that the Vatican commission to investigate Medjugorje voted overwhelmingly to designate the first seven apparitions at Medjugorje as “supernatural” in nature. Major Catholic Media have been actively reporting the startling findings of the Ruini commission.

I reached out to Church Militant because they are an influential voice for many  Catholics and they have also been one of the most vocal critics of Medjugorje particularly here in America.

Church Militant eagerly reported Pope Francis’s negative comments the Holy See  made on his plane returning from Fatima. On the plane Pope Francis expressed his doubts about the apparitions making references that the Virgin Mary does not run a “Post Office” who sends messages when and wherever she  pleases.

But after confronting Ms Niles  about the positive comments made by the special Vatican commission, she said she rejected the report’s positive findings and did not much care what the Vatican had to say because Medjugorje was false.  Keep in mind Ms. Niles is the “News Director” for Church Militant.   She offered her personal views on the matter saying:

There are too many doctrinal, spiritual and moral problems with Medjugorje for me ever to accept that it’s Our Lady. All the Franciscans who served as spiritual advisors have been expelled from the diocese for disobedience. One of them who served as spiritual director was defrocked for sexual misconduct, and now runs a New Age center — which he admitted he’d been a part of since 2002, when he was still spiritual director to the seers.The disobedience, the sexual misconduct, the lives of the seers, the banality and doctrinal problems with the messages, the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of so-called messages — none of this rings true at all to common sense.

I tried to stress to Ms. Niles that all these matters were taken into account by the Ruini Commission yet they concluded that the early apparitions were “authentic” and indeed supernatural in nature. I also pointed out that the commission did not rule that  ongoing “apparitions” were not supernatural. They just expressed doubts.  Nothing negative has been said of the Visionaries. In fact they have been recognized by the commission as people of normal and good character.

Ms. Niles’ views towards the visionaries are in direct conflict with the Medjugorje commission’s own findings. The commission members interviewed the visionaries and spent five years investigating everything, yet Ms. Niles dismisses the report and clings to her own views, bias views which seem to have been simply constructed from old cliches that have circulated around the internet for years.

I requested that Mystic Post and Church Militant talk about Medjugorje  in dept because it is an important subject for millions of people around the world.

Ms. Niles’ response: “We’re not (Church Militant) interested in continuing any discussion on Medjugorje.”

Church Militant may not want to discuss Medjugorje but clearly they are happy to share their negative views on the matter.

Mr. Voris, if you would like to have a serious discussion about Medjugorje please contact Mystic Post.
