Medjugorje: Axe Finally About To Fall

For once, let me say this time Francis is evidently acting like a Pope should. I am afraid I won’t say it very often, so take good note.

Francis is quoted by the CNS as follows:

“Curiosity pushes us to want to hear that the Lord is here or over there, or it makes us say, ‘Well, I know a visionary who receives letters from Our Lady, messages from Our Lady,'” the pope said. But Mary is “not a postmaster of the post office sending out messages every day.”

This is, clearly, the end for all the self-deluded souls who have tried to hide for decades behind the absence of a formal papal condemnation for which, in presence of the bishop’s condemnation, there was never any need in the first place. 

I also commend (what a day!) Francis’ choice of anticipating the final decision on Medjugorje with this warning shot that is, in fact, the sentence itself. When the final report comes it will contain extensive, crushing evidence. It is fitting that the poor idiots, being very slow-witted, are given some time to realise that there is no alternative but to shut up and stop waiting for the next bogus fax.

Francis obviously completes here the very slow work initiated – far too late anyway – by Pope Benedict. But he has evidently decided to act, so he is the one who carries the main merit of the decision.

Allow me to say, on this occasion, with great joy: well done, Pope Francis!
