Quote:
Medjugorje which is strongly supported by the Franciscans is not without its critics in and outside the church.
Unity Publishing a Roman Catholic website is scathing in its censure claiming that the whole thing is a money making scam that was originally set up to help finance the purchase of arms for the Croatian war of independence and that millions of dollars collected in the name of Medjugorje have just disappeared into thin air.
It also censors the so called visionaries themselves for the opulent lifestyles they lead, the beautiful mansions they own, mostly overseas, and the luxury cars they drive, all courtesy of the donations they personally receive and the huge engagement fees they demand for appearances.
On top of that Unity also takes the Franciscan order to task for claimed illicit sexual activity with pilgrims including the now familiar paedophile problems regularly being exposed. It all sounds a bit fishy doesnt it? Even Rome is showing concern over the petty politics, money grabbing and sexual licence going on.
