Media: Final Commission session is now
When the Vatican Commission on Medjugorje
has met on December 14-17 in Rome, its work should
be finished though publication of results may
still take a while, a Croatian newspaper reports.
Cardinal Josip Bozanic of Zagreb – attends the final session of the Vatican Commission on Medjugorje on December 14-17, a Croatian newspaper writes
Though the Vatican Commission on Medjugorje has its final session this weekend in Rome, and could report its findings by the end of 2012, the public is likely to wait another while for its conclusions, the Croatian newspaper Vecernji List is reporting.
The paper establishes as fact that Commission member Cardinal Josip Bozanic of Zagreb is attending a Commission session on December 14-17, and that the work of the Commission should then be completed.
Three fingers, three years? Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi recently denied that the findings of the Commission on Medjugorje were to be published in 2012. With the Commission’s last session taking place these days in Rome, the publication could be next year, three years after the Commission was announced on March 17th 2010
However, as the Commission will present its results to the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) who will in turn hand over the report to Pope Benedict XVI, an announcement of results is not to be expected within the immediate future, Vecernji List reports, mirroring recent statements by Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi.
“Only then should the result of the Commission or the fate of the Medjugorje phenomenon be known. So, even though the Commission’s work should be completed after December 17, its conclusions probably will not be known” writes Vecernji List.

That the Commission’s current session is the last
one mirrors statements
from February by Commission member Cardinal
Vinko Puljic of Sarajevo who said the Commission had
to finish its work in 2012.
