VATICAN CITY, JUN 19, 1996 (VIS) – The director of the Holy See Press Office, with regard to news of recent days concerning pilgrimages to Medjugorje, answered journalists’ questions this morning with the following declaration:No new fact has occurred in this regard. As has been stated on previous occasions, it is a duty in such cases to respect the immediate competency of the local episcopacy. In this regard, on April 10, 1991, the bishops of ex-Yugoslavia had declared:
We repeat the absolute need to continue deepening the reflection, as well as prayer, in the face of whatever alleged supernatural phenomenon, until there is a definitive pronouncement. OP/MEDJUGORJE/NAVARRO-VALLS VIS 960619 (220) |
