Well, the official Catholic Church is not an organization to take a big risk. It has never ruled on the validity of the miracle said to have occurred in Medugorje.
A “Welcome to Medjugorje” pamphlet quotes what is presumably the strongest official support for the place available – from a 1993 statement by the Archbishop of Zagreb Cardinal Dr. Franjo Kuharic:
“We bishops, after a three-year-long commission study accept Medjugorje as a holy place, as a shrine. This means that we have nothing against it if someone venerates the Mother of God in a manner and in agreement with the teaching and belief of the Church. Therefore, we are leaving that to further study. The Church does not hurry.”
Not a ringing endorsement. It seems he might have said the same thing about saying Hail Marys in a public restroom.
