DID THE MADONNA REALLY APPEAR IN MEDJUGORJE?

Pilgrimages, conversions, prayer and religious devotion can be genuine spiritual experiences without necessarily proving the supernatural

origin of an alleged apparition

Supernatural origin

The Vatican investigation therefore examined different aspects of the phenomenon separately.

A complex assessment

The beginnings, the alleged apparitions, the visionaries and the messages each required a separate evaluation.

The Church intervened

The Final Report provides an extraordinary window into that process of ecclesiastical discernment.

Since June 1981

For decades, Medjugorje has been one of the most debated religious phenomena in the Catholic world.

From all over the world

Millions of pilgrims have traveled to Medjugorje. Countless messages have been attributed to the Virgin.

A rigorous investigation

But what did the Vatican itself discover? For years, its work remained confidential.

THE VATICAN INVESTIGATION

The Commission examined the events that began in Medjugorje in 1981, the alleged visionaries, their testimonies, the messages attributed to the Virgin Mary and the immense religious and pastoral phenomenon that developed around the apparitions.

Among the questions examined were:

  • Are the visionaries credible?
  • What are the ten secrets, and when are they expected to be revealed?
  • What happened during the first apparitions?
