\"\"By Stephen Ryan Author of best selling novel\u00a0The Madonna Files<\/a><\/p>\n

Are there really any words to describe what Cardinal Schonborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, has \u00a0been doing in Europe over the past few years?<\/p>\n

To fully understand Cardinal Schonborn\u2019s incomparable pursuit regarding his belief in the true presence of the Blessed Mother here on earth, \u00a0it first must be understood that Cardinal Schonborn is a giant figure in the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

He was at the top of the list of contenders to be the next Pope according to most reputable Catholic pundits.<\/a> Cardinal Schonborn is a former student and close friend of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. \u00a0He serves as a member of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.\u00a0 Earlier this year he was appointed as the first member of the newly created Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization. The young Cardinal is also the \u00a0Editorial Director of the Catholic Catechism \u2013 the official rule book of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

Cardinal Schonborn\u2019s gravitas and impeccable catholic credentials speak for themselves, and so within this context, we find it extraordinary that he has been proclaiming, from the rooftops, or more accurately, from inside the great St. Stephen\u2019s Cathedral\u00a0in Vienna, Austria, \u00a0that the Blessed Mother is now appearing on earth in an unprecedented\u00a0fashion to six \u201cVisionaries\u201d and\u00a0he is urging the\u00a0Catholic faithful to pay close attention.<\/p>\n

The Austrian Archbishop,\u00a0by his actions over the past few years, unequivocally\u00a0lends support to\u00a0claims\u00a0that the Blessed Virgin Mary is revealing Herself to the world\u00a0and that\u00a0her presence\u00a0on earth is for the clear purpose\u00a0of demonstrating that God truly exists.\u00a0\u00a0Cardinal Schonborrn\u00a0also\u00a0insists \u00a0that the Blessed Mother\u00a0is bringing important\u00a0messa\"LikeUsOnFacebook_Icon\"ges of peace\u00a0for a world that has little peace. Her messages of peace are accompanied by\u00a0an urgent and incessant plea for\u00a0all of humanity\u00a0to reconcile\u00a0with\u00a0God.<\/p>\n

Last November, in an\u00a0extraordinary event in Vienna, Austria, Cardinal Schonborn celebrated Mass\u00a0with a woman who claims\u00a0to see and speak\u00a0to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her name is\u00a0Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti. Marija\u00a0is one of six visionaries who say they see the Virgin Mary and these six people\u00a0are at that center of a mysterious phenomenon known the world over as \u201cMedjugorje\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Marija was in Austria at the invitation of Cardinal Schonborn not\u00a0only to\u00a0attend Mass, \u00a0but to\u00a0have her \u00a0apparition inside St. Stephen\u2019s Cathedral with the Cardinal there to witness\u00a0the experience\u00a0as well. Marija\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0apparition lasted about eight minutes and afterwords Cardinal Schonborn celebrated Mass mentioning Medjugorje\u00a0in his homily.<\/p>\n

The entire apparition and Mass were shown locally on TV and broadcast throughout the world over the internet.\u00a0To see the Editorial Director of the Catholic Catechism and close friend of the Pope on live\u00a0television sitting patiently and reverentially in the grand setting of St. Stephen\u2019s Cathedral as the visionary falls into ecstasy and visits the Blessed Mother who\u00a0arrives quite literally from the afterlife\u00a0is\u00a0something special to behold.\u00a0Watch it here:<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

But many are asking why would Cardinal Schonborn provide such a high profile platform to a supernatural phenomenon\u00a0when the Catholic Church has yet to give its official approval?\u00a0\u00a0 Why the invitation? After all,\u00a0the Vatican, after years of study is set to determine the authenticity of Medjugorje.<\/p>\n

By his actions, is it possible Cardinal Schonboen is front-running the Vatican Commission on Medjugorje. Does Cardinal Schonborn, a key member of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelisation, sense a special urgency? What are his motivations? Does he sense time is running out? Is it possible he understands the consequences for the world if the messages of the Virgin Mary\u00a0are not heard and are not heeded.<\/p>\n
