Local Bishop confirms Medjugorje is a hoax 'This really is not Our Lady from the Gospel'
The bishop of Mostar-Duvno, His Excellency Ratko Peric, has once again strongly stated the obvious -- the apparitions of Medjugorje are a hoax. In fact, he goes even further, saying they were a form of manipulation from the fake visionaries and priests who benefit from the duped throngs of Catholics who visit the site. His predecessaor, His Excellency Pavao Žanic, also condemned the financial boondoggle of Medjugorje as false.

Did she text this message, or just use regular email? Maybe it was a mistranslation. Either way, it seems odd that this Mary is claiming "ownership" of the believers, since we all know that Jesus said very clearly that accepting him as savior was the only way to get to Heaven.

They will deny it all day long, but Jesus did not hold his mother in as high regard as Roman Catholics do.
Honestly, I was shocked myself to learn recently that some Roman Catholics actually consider Mary as either being the Holy Spirit or part of the Holy Spirit. Total blaspheme of the Holy Spirit.

They will deny it all day long, but Jesus did not hold his mother in as high regard as Roman Catholics do. Pope John Paul II even had the initial "M" incorporated into his coat of arms and engraved on his casket.
Here's what Jesus had to say about his mother at the time of her death...
Mary was given no "Holy" title that the Catholics have given her.
Matthew 12:46-50
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
That is not Catholic doctrine.
You either misunderstood them or they are clueless on their own religion.
Mary is prayed "with" as an intercessor, not prayed to as part of the Holy Spirit.
Little children, witness with the Rosary in hand that you are mine and decide for holiness.
Pope St. John Paul II was well known for having a deep and abiding love for the Blessed Virgin Mary. His devotion to her was evident in all that he did: his teaching, his prayer life, even his papal motto and coat of arms were dedicated to the Blessed Mother.
When he was nearly fatally shot during his papacy he credited the intercession of the Virgin Mary, specifically Our Lady of Fatima, with the miraculous save of his life.
I would most certainly cast your mind back to the Crucifixion and would point out that she was sent herself through a miracle birth as both her father and mother - upright people that they were - were far too old and yet she was sent.
Very rare message of Our Lady in Medjugorje
Please stop dividing the body of Christ against itself.
