Vatican Greenlights Pilgrimages to Medjugorje

The Vatican has officially granted approval for Catholic pilgrims to continue visiting Medjugorje, a small village in southern Bosnia, where since the 1980s, children have claimed to see visions of the Virgin Mary

In a move that acknowledges the importance of the site for millions of worshippers, the Vatican stopped short of declaring the reported apparitions as supernatural or authentic but allowed devotion to proceed.

Following nearly 15 years of rigorous study, the Vatican’s doctrine office issued a detailed analysis, highlighting that while devotion to the site could continue, there were unresolved concerns. The office pointed out contradictions in some of the “messages” reportedly received by the visionaries over the years, leaving the question of their divine origin open.

Despite this, the decision is seen as a cautious endorsement of Medjugorje as a place of prayer and spiritual reflection, even as debate over the legitimacy of the apparitions continues within the Church.
