I heard this story many years ago of Hasan Shushud (which Michael Brown is running again on his site) about how in 1980 the Sufi mystic foretold a coming apparation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It would be "different from all previous apparitions", it would last a long time, it would be "decisive", and peace would be the prime focus of Mary's message.
So much of the detail that was in his prediction is eerily on target as it relates to the details of the Medjugorje apparitions, and these points could be discussed endlessly on threads like this.
But there is one element of Shushud's prediction which addresses a topic that has been discussed at length recently on this site. Shushud has made the claim that it is the Catholic Church that has been entrusted with the great responsibility of accepting or rejecting Mary on behalf of all humanity.
"If, however, Rome does not meet Mary with the needed firm, truthful acceptance . . . etc", and Mary suffers rejection from Rome, then all mankind will continue to suffer ever greater tribulations as human society continues its spiral into decay.
The Church (i.e., the Vatican) according to Shushud, will be the entity that will play the decisive role in either saying yes or no to the helping Hand of Peace that God has extended to us at Medjugorje through the Mother of His Son.
If this is so, how then are we to assess our answer to God in light of the current Pontiff's opinions and comments concerning the Medjugorje phenomenon ?
