Cardinal Vinko Puljic of Sarajevo
Contrary to a previous statement, the Vatican Commission on
Medjugorje will not finish its work this year, but rather in 2013, a
Bosnian news portal quotes an allegedly well-informed source. More
conversations are required. Commission members stayed in Medjugorje last
Spring
Medjugorje will remain under investigation by the Vatican into 2013.
The Commission formed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010 and since then headed
by Cardinal Camillo Ruini will not finish its work this year as
previously stated, the Bosnian news portal Oslobodjenje learns.
“The International Commission for the study of the phenomenon of
Medjugorje will certainly not finish their work this year, claims a
well-informed souce close to the work of the Commission” the online
media reports.

The canceling of expectations that the Vatican Commission should finish before the end of 2012 comes in response to a statement from Cardinal Vinko Puljic
of Sarajevo. On February 14 the Cardinal, a member of the Commission
himself, told a press conference in Rome that the Commission had to
finish this year. However:
“There is still a lot of conversations with people who could
contribute quality contents to the Commission’s work” Oslobodjenje
quotes the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“Based on what has already been learned about the work of the
Commission, our source believes that work could be completed in 2013″
the news portal adds.
All Commission meetings have taken place in Rome
Oslobodjenje further writes that, over the past two years, the Vatican Commission has met “a dozen times, each time in Rome.”
“However, the Commission also works in the field, and therefore some
members of the Commission stayed in Medjugorje last Spring” the Bosnian
news portal learns.
The Commission will submit its work to the Vatican Congregation for
the Doctrine of the Faith. From here, it will be turned over to the Pope
who has the final saying.
