The Glorious Homeboy Era of demonic Marian Apparitions!

"Is there indeed provable linkage between Scene One, below, from March 1995, and Scene Two, Father Fabian Marquez's spectacular psychotic episode of Monday, July 10, 2006?"

Scene One, fragment from this same source:

Prologue -- Assault on a Bishop

"An angry mob breaks into a bishop's official residence. They search for him, going from room to room until they find him. They drag him outside and pressure him to agree to their demands.

"He refuses and says if necessary he will suffer just as Christ had to suffer. This type of language only makes them more infuriated, and some of them press forward, tearing off his pectoral cross, ripping his cape, and then assaulting him.

"He tells them that automatic excommunication is the penalty for attacking a bishop, but they pay no heed, dragging him off and impriosoning him. They hold him until late at night, their mood growing uglier with every moment, his life in imminent danger.

"The mob thinks he has insulted some of their deceased relatives; they shout that they have plenty of weapons.

"Finally a local leader manages to persuade the crowd to disperse, and the Bishop narrowly escapes their clutches.

"This didn't happen during the Middle Ages, or more recently, under a totalitarian regime. This incident happened in March 1995, in an at least nominally Catholic European area.

"The Bishop in question was Bishop Ratko Peric, the Ordinary of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a region which was shrouded in obscurity until the 1980's, when the events at a small village called Medjugorje started to become famous in the Catholic Church and beyond.

"Bishop Peric's crime was that as part of the restructuring of his diocese, he had asked the local Franciscan friars to stop using the church hall which had functioned as their parochial centre, and to take up new appointlments.

"They refused, and along with a large group of parishioners decided to take their protests directly to the Bishop.

"The result was the incident outlined above, in which the Franciscans in question chose not to interfere because they have been involved in a lengthy dispute wih the local bishops, a tragic disagreement with deep historical roots, one which has seriously affected the Catholic Church in the region, and which has become linked with the visions at Medjugorje."

SCENE TWO, involving yet another suspected Medjugorje quack: Father Fabian Marquez's very own little creative exercise in mob-inciting as-a-psychotic episode.

This fragment is taken from this blog for that same night, Monday, July 10, 2006. My eye-witness point of view was from the inside area close to the outside door located toward the front of the Cathedral, leading into the open area between St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Elementary School.

Yet Another Medjugorje-inspired Mass-Psychotic Incident, yet another exercise in brainless clergy-incited mob violence?

Right here at St. Patrick's Cathedral, El Paso, Texas?

Incident:

"Emotional, noisy, screaming exchange beween one Father Fabian Marquez & Unknowns, leading to loud emotional babble by dozens of equally unhinged reinforcements for the Holy Spirit -- or so one might suppose -- from the parishioners prsent as they rushed into the fray, waving their arms on cue and babbling a mile a minute.

"Even the Teens ACTS Retreat Team Members in the choir loft came down on a run [in response to a signal from Fr. Marquez, as he turned slightly sidewise, to their adult female mentor, a signal which I plainly saw!] and all breathless and excited, as they, too, flapped their arms and babbled encouragement to all and sundry.
