Great article - questionable referrals - dogmatic theologian Manfred Hauke

Jesus , Mary and Joseph !-  my friend says, while I can only repaet a famous 
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world"
 and 

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former"
 - Albert Einstein



The flowing is a part of an very interesting interview circulating internet. However the referral used are very questionable


Medjugorje is often cited as an "oasis of peace" during the civil war at the beginning of the '90s. Yet there are also uncomfortable facts that disturb the harmonious view. When revenue from the pilgrimage industry went down in 1992, there were press reports in the wake of a violent conflict among three family clans that served pilgrimage businesses. In a "cleansing action" about 140 inhabitants of Medjugorje were killed, while 600 others had to flee. "This was all kept secret  from the the outside world, since it naturally could not be brought into accord with belief in the Queen of Peace" (R. Franken, "A Journey to Medjugorje", 2000, p, 45). Thus there are not only good fruits to the Medjugorje phenomenon.


Yes , All kept secret while  Embassys and International organisation were having their heaquarters in Medjugorje , as it was considered the safest place in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
So I guess it was an international conspiracy :-)


There is more, but I just have more pressing things in life to do . 
God bless you all
