Thanks for the information. The article says that Fr. Vlasic was the 'spiritual father of the six children' in 1981, but I do not view him that way. Care needs to be taken when reading his quotes from the older books published about Medjugorje.
Here is a portion of the translated article:
In Ghedi, in the province of Brescia, he founded the Fortezza dell'Immacolata sanctuary house, linked to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Universe, which between visions of UFOs and the conviction of the presence of life in other planets, had already ended up in the crosshairs of the Bishop of Brescia Pierantonio Tremolada who had started the procedure of excommunication completed today.
"In recent years, in the Diocese of Brescia and in other places, he has continued to carry out apostolic activities towards individuals and groups, both through conferences and through information technology" underlines a note from the Curia. According to the Diocese, the former Franciscan "continued to declare himself a religious and priest of the Catholic Church, simulating the celebration of invalid sacraments; he continued to cause serious scandal among the faithful, carrying out acts seriously damaging to ecclesial communion and obedience to 'Ecclesiastical authority ".
With the excommunication Tomislav Vlasic cannot take part in any way as a minister in the celebration of the Eucharist or any other ceremony of public worship, celebrate sacraments or sacraments and receive the sacraments, exercise functions in offices or ministries or any ecclesiastical assignments, or to place acts of government. "In the event that he intends to take part in the celebration of the Eucharist or any act of public worship - underlines the Brescia Curia -, he must be dismissed or the liturgical action must be interrupted, unless a serious cause is opposed".
