  • Medjugorje (Part 5 of 5): Spiritual Guides Disobedient, Excommunicated, Unchaste
    Medjugorje (Part 5 of 5): Spiritual Guides Disobedient, Excommunicated, Unchaste (New Era World News) THE FRANCISCAN SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS of the Medjugorje “Seers” have scored a “trifecta”; all three of them have been laicized, excommunicated, or suspended a divinis. Father Tomislav Vlasic was the third spiritual adviser of the Medjugorje “seers” to be suspended from his ministry (2009). The second was, Father Jozo Zovko, who was suspended by Bishop Peric in 2004. Father Iveca Vego holds the infamous dishonor of being the first; he was suspended on Jan. 29 1982, six months after the apparitions began at Medjugorje. Nonetheless, he continued to exercise his priestly ministry in defiance of the Bishop of Mostar. Vego refused to comply until after the Vatican got involved and the other two were implicated on various charges serious enough to warrant suspension and excommunication before the Curia took up Vego’s case in 2009. l Father Iveca Vego According to Bishop Zanic, Father Ivica Vego, a Franciscan priest among the first confidants and spiritual directors of the "seers", was dispensed from his vows and expelled from the Franciscan Order in January (1982) by his superiors in the Order of Friars Minor (OFM) after which the bishop appealed to the Vatican Congregation for Religious to have him reduced to the lay state. According to Bishop Zanic, eventually Ivica Vego’s behavior, which included persistent and flagrant disobedience and immoral sexual conduct (the seduction and impregnation of a nun named Sister Leopolda) caught up with him. "By an order of the Holy Father the Pope, he was thrown out of his Franciscan religious order OFM by his General, dispensed from his vows, and suspended "a divinis".

  • St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and Dissed?
    St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and dissed? Dorothy Day supposedly uttered that famous phrase, “Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily.” Day, of course, now has her own cause for sainthood. And she was deeply devoted to many saints, and once said that we’re all called to sainthood. But she had a point about saints being dismissed easily. Case in point is the recent brouhaha in New York over a statue to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen to be canonized. You’ve probably heard the story: The city of New York has monuments all over the place, but there’s a woeful gap in the number of women versus men so honored. The first lady of New York, Chirlane McCray, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s spouse, headed up a commission with the intent of narrowing that gap. Called the “She Built NYC” project, the commission decided to ask New Yorkers for their input on which women should be honored with a statue. So far, so good. New Yorkers nominated some 320 women. And the big winner? Mother Cabrini, with 219 votes. Sad to say, however, when the commission picked seven winners to be memorialized around the city with monuments costing taxpayers about $5 million, St. Frances Cabrini didn’t make the cut. Why not? Part of the intent of the project was to raise awareness of women of color, a group often overlooked and undervalued. So, one excellent selection was Shirley Chisholm, America’s first black congresswomen.

  • Medjugorje's Effects: a History of Local, State and Church Response
    MEDJUGORJE'S EFFECT'S: A HISTORY OF LOCAL, STATE AND CHURCH RESPONSE TO THE MEDJUGORJE PHENOMENON Teresa M. Pangle A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2011 Committee: Dr. Beth Greich-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Gary R. Hess ii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Greich-Polelle, Advisor This thesis examines the impacts of the alleged appearances of the Virgin Mary which began in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia in 1981. Through the examination of primary sources such as Catholic Church and the United States Department of State documentation and eye-witness interviews, this study creates a basic history of the events in Medjugorje and clearly defines the Catholic Church’s position on these events. This thesis provides an academic history of the events surrounding Medjugorje and provides historical insight into the motivations behind the response of the local villagers and clergy members, the Yugoslavian state and the Vatican. The events studied include a carefully-documented history of the first two months of the apparitions, an account of the officially-atheistic, Yugoslavian government’s response to the subsequent religious outpouring, and a history of the Catholic Church’s response to the alleged apparitions up to the present day. The dispute of the authenticity of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje - which is currently under investigation by the Catholic Church - is polarizing within Catholic culture. The historiography of these events is divided into two groups of “pro-authenticity” or “anti-authenticity” authors who publish opposing and even contradictory information while using the same sources.

  • St. Katharine Drexel Society
    St. Katharine Drexel Society Members of the St. Katharine Drexel Society provide annual financial support for the ministry of The Catholic Foundation of Central Florida helping us to elevate philanthropy to flourish our Church ensuring its future and the fruits of generosity in Central Florida. St. Katharine Drexel’s legacy of addressing needs through faith-filled Catholic philanthropy is the model for The Catholic Foundation’s mission and vision. As a philanthropic organization, we strive to inspire giving to support the spiritual and corporal needs of our communities throughout the Diocese of Orlando. St. Katharine Drexel Born into a wealthy Philadelphia family, St. Katharine was impacted by the philanthropic legacy set by her parents who lived out their Catholic faith through charity, opening their home to the poor and distributing food and clothing. She gave up her affluent lifestyle to enter religious life and used her inheritance to minister to the poor and oppressed. She founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which provided for the physical and spiritual care for others through hospitals, shelters and educational institutions including over 100 schools that served Native American reservations and Southern African American communities. Saint John Paul II canonized Katharine Drexel in 2000. In his homily during the canonization Mass, he said, “Katharine Drexel is an excellent example of practical charity and generous solidarity with the less fortunate, which has long been the distinguishing mark of American Catholics.” As the Patron Saint of Philanthropy, the love of mankind, St. Katharine’s philanthropy was a sacred call living out her faith in service to others and to the Church.

  • My HEALING from Gambling & Alcohol In
    Reflection Rev. John Woolley “Only a true child of Mine can know the loneliness of following Me. At times, My calling seems to isolate you even from those dearest to you, and who want only your happiness.” “Seeking My will will provoke frequent misunderstandings; there will be painful choices between following My way and another way (harmless on the surface) which is pleasing to those near you.” “Only a true child of Mine can enter into My loneliness when seen upon earth. But that is not all. Loneliness and misunderstanding served only to enhance My consciousness of the Father’s presence. In loneliness, I will be radiating, in your life, the quiet hope, which speaks clearly of My presence with you, I will be glorified in your life, increasingly”.48 It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

  • Bishops in Medjugorje and About Medjugorje in 2001
    Bishops in Medjugorje and About Medjugorje in 2001 MAY 2001 Msgr. José Antúnez de Mayolo, Bishop from the Archdiocese of Ayacucho (Peru) From May 13 to 16, 2001, Msgr. José Antúnez de Mayolo, a Salesian Bishop from the Archdiocese of Ayacucho in Peru, came for a private visit to Medjugorje. “This is a beautiful shrine where I find much faith, where I find faithful who live their faith, faithful who come for confession. I was hearing the confessions of Spanish pilgrims. I participated in Eucharistic celebrations and I liked everything very, very much. It is really very beautiful here. It is right that Medjugorje is called a place of prayer for the whole world and ‘the confessional of the world’. I have been to Lourdes, but it is a very different reality. They cannot be compared. They are two different realities. In Lourdes, the event is closed, but here everything is still developing. Here, faith can be felt in a much stronger way than in Lourdes. Medjugorje is still quite unknown in Peru, but I promise to become an apostle of Medjugorje in my country. The faith is strong and alive here, and this is what attracts so many pilgrims from the whole world. I should like to tell them to have a strong love for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let them love her mightily, because she is our Mother and she is always with us. This is why those who live and work here have to love her, but also priests who come from abroad. Pilgrims who come here have already started their spiritual journey towards the Blessed Virgin Mary, and they already have faith.
