DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR

”Without you [the seers] God cannot bring to reality that which He desires."
God has given a free will to everyone, and it’s in your control.”(Gospa in Jan. 30, 1986)
WHOA!
"Ivan Dragicevic stared intently at the statue of the Virgin Mary as thousands of people stared intently at him. They filled one side of the Loos Athletic Field House in Addison. All sat in rapt silence with the exception of a few outbursts by children too young to catch the solemn atmosphere. For Mr. Dragicevic, and for those who watched him Wednesday evening, these were minutes spent with the Mother of God. The young man is one of six world-famous Medjugorje visionaries who, their followers believe, were first visited by the mother of Jesus in 1981, outside their village in what once was Yugoslavia." From an article by Hector Avalos titled Mary at Medjugorje: A Critical Inquiry (Dallas Morning News, 1994)
Ivan decides during his Prayer Experience Pilgrimages the prayers or scripture readings and the intentions for the day. What puts Ivan above the Catholic Church? Why can’t he follow the Liturgical Calendar, or the Liturgy of the Hours? Why is Ivan deciding the prayers? The answer is because he can. Between speaking engagements Ivan sells Prayer Experience Packages at $2,999.00 per head to stay at his house in Medjugorje. Ivan can do that, because he is member of an exclusive club; the wealthy, upwardly mobile, globe trotting, BMW driving society of visionaries.
