Medjugorje Apparitions will be Approved after Visionaries have died

The apparitions in Medjugorje will be approved by The Catholic Church, three of the visionaries say. Ivan believes the medical-scientific tests of the seers “will greatly influence the rulings and decisions of the Church”. Mirjana, too, links approval to proof.

The Catholic Church will be able to prove the Virgin Mary’s apparitions in Medjugorje. The scientific tests will greatly influence the Church’s ruling on the matter. But official recognition will come only when the visionaries no longer live.

According to Medjugorje visionaries Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo, Ivan Dragicevic and Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti these are some of the future perspectives for Medjugorje, since March 2010 under study by a Vatican Commission headed by Cardinal Camillo Ruini.

Ivan believes the results of the medical-scientific tests conducted on the visionaries throughout the years and now in the custody of the Vatican Commission “will greatly influence the rulings and decisions of the Church”. At first reluctant towards the tests proposed to him, in Medjugorje author Kresimir Sego’s new book “A Conversation with the Visionaries” Ivan explains how consultations with the Virgin Mary during apparitions made him go through with the tests:

Ivan Dragicevic: "All these results are carefully looked after and have been forwarded to the International Commitee founded by the Vatican. I believe they will greatly influence the rulings and decisions of the Church"

“Yes, we have talked about this. I asked her whether or not I should go through with them. We agreed that I should because this was what the Church wanted. All these results are carefully looked after and have been forwarded to the International Commitee founded by the Vatican. I believe they will greatly influence the rulings and decisions of the Church. Our Lady told us to accept these examinations and that we shall understand later why they were important”, Ivan tells Kresimir Sego.

“I went through all this even though I found it difficult particularly because some of these tests were repeated up to four times. Nevertheless, we agreed to do them because Our Lady advised us so”, Ivan adds.

The Church will recognize Medjugorje but only when the visionaries no longer live, visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti said to the Croatian newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija on July 21st 2010:

“The act of forming the Commission was a positive act. The Church is often not interested in the sensations. It has its own position and is not in a hurry. It took decades until the official recognition of the shrine in Lourdes or Fatima. So it is with Medjugorje. I am convinced that the Vatican recognizes the authenticity of the apparitions, but only when they stop and when we visionaries have died”, Marija told Slobodna Dalmacija.

Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti: "I am convinced that the Vatican recognizes the authenticity of the apparitions, but only when they stop and when we visionaries have died"

Visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo is confident, too, about the final ruling of the Church. Interviewed in 2007, three years before the Vatican Commission was formed, in Kresimir Sego’s new book Mirjana says that the Church will come to “prove” what she sees:

“I like the fact that our Church is cautious because there are many apparitions reported in the world and, in the end, it turns out that they are not authentic. I was never worried about the fact that the Church is waiting and examining the events because I know what I see. When my Church proves what I see, then the Church will approve what I see”, Mirjana tells Kresimir Sego.

In June this year Ivanka Ivankovic-Elez became the first Medjugorje visionary to testify before the Vatican Commission. Both Vicka Ivankovic-Mijatovic and Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo have been reported next in line to be summoned by the Commission.
