Protesting the Latest Medjugorje Scandal-PLEASE SIGN Petition to Cardinal Levada

PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK TO SIGN THE PETITION

The Petition

The following extract is from the website Medjugorje Today

“Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic’s apparition on November 17 in the Cathedral of Vienna will be live-streamed. According to Ivan, the Virgin Mary will bless all online viewers who pray along and follow the apparition, as if they had been physically present. Religious items brought next to the computer will also be blessed…The Mass after Ivan’s apparition will be presided over by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn. Last year the Cardinal welcomed the two Medjugorje visionaries…”

Shockingly, despite having apologized to Bishop Ratko Perić for visiting the site in a blaze of publicity at the end of December 2009, Vienna’s Cardinal Christoph Schönborn is once again giving public support to Medjugorje. Please, therefore, canvas the Vatican to act without delay to end the scandal of Cardinal Schönborn’s involvement with this unapproved apparition, in direct opposition to the clear instructions issued by the local bishop...

Please sign by name - not "Anonymous". Thank you.

We aim to gather at least 1,000 signatures, at which time the peition will be forwarded to Cardinal Levada at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Finally, Please note that once you sign the petition you will be taken to a page requesting a donation. This has nothing to do with Catholic Truth - no money comes to us - and it is not mandatory. Your signature will appear whether or not you choose to donate money to the ipetitions website.

We, the undersigned, call on the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to instruct Cardinal Christoph Schönborn to desist from all public support for the unapproved phenomenon of Medjugorje.

I'm sorry, maybe I am dense, but how can any sane person take this stuff seriously? "Religious items brought next to the computer will also be blessed?" Oh, dear God, the loss of the sense of faith is staggering to me sometimes.
