"Vatican disciplines ex - spiritual director to the Medjugorje visionaries"


At least a potentially lethal blow at certain occult irregularities indulged in by both the ACTS Retreat Movement -- at least at the St. Patrick Cathedral Parish chapter in El Paso, Texas -- and the St. Mary Magdalene's Catholic Parish Charismatics here in Brackettville, Texas, too?

¡Guau!


And Archbishop José Gomez let's his own publication, "Today's Catholic," tell us so!

On September 26, 2008, page 7, no less.

No wonder "somebody" here locally just might have been a tad slow in putting them out last week, when they should have.

"LONDON The Vatican has authorized severe cautionary and disciplinary measure against a priest who served as a spiritual director to the visionaries in Medjugorje, Bosnia - Herzegovina.

"The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has written to Bishop Ratko Peric of Mostar - Duvno, whose diocese covers Medjugorje, to inform him that they are investigating the case of Franciscan Father Tomislav Vlasic.

"The congregation has asked the bishop, to inform the community of the canonical status of the Bosnian priest, whose actions automatically provoked Vatican sanctions.

"In a statement posted on the Web site of the Diocese of Mostar - Duvno, Bishop Peric explained that Father Vlasic has been reported to the congregation for the diffusion of dubious doctrine, manipulation of consciences, suspicious mysticism, disobedience toward legitimately issued orders and charges that he violated the Sixth Commandment.

"The doctrinal congregation said in the letter, also posted on the web site, that the priest had been disciplined after he stubbornly refused to cooperate with the inquiry."
