Medjugorje Vandalism Reveals Conciliar Sect’s Idolatrous Sentimentalism
The Vatican News portal (July 28, 2026) reports on acts of vandalism at the Medjugorje shrine in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where an image of the “Virgin Mary” on Apparition Hill was defaced with black paint and the outdoor altar of St. James Church was set ablaze. The Medjugorje parish office responded with a statement urging the faithful to “prayer, fasting, and forgiveness” and to “pray for the conversion of the hearts of those who committed this act,” explicitly rejecting anger and retaliation. The article notes that the shrine remains open and that regular prayer programs continue. It also recalls the September 2024 nihil obstat issued by the “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith” with the approval of “Pope” Francis, which recognized “positive spiritual fruits” while pointedly refusing to declare on the supernatural character of the alleged apparitions. This conciliar propaganda piece exemplifies the neo-church’s substitution of sentimental humanitarianism for the jus divinum and its legitimization of a Masonic-inspired false apparition site as a center of “peace” devoid of the Kingship of Christ.
