Bosnia - Herzegovina: "Renegade Franciscan suspended"


"Early involvement with Medjugorje seers"


Adapted from this source: "The Catholic World Report," November 2008.

"Father Tomislav Vlasic, a Franciscan priest who was prominent in the first efforts to publicize the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje, has been placed under interdict by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith because of his flagrant disregard for ecclesiastical discipline [Wow! Maybe here in Brackettville, too, someday? :) ].

"Father Vlasic -- who eventually broke with the Medjugorje seers and founded his own quasi - religious community, was cited for suspicion of heresy and schism, as well as scandalous acts contra sextum, aggravated by mystical motivations."
