Rome, Italy - According to the Italian website Petrus (papanews.it), the six visionaries of Medjugorje will be asked to reveal the ten secrets to Pope Benedict XVI.

Petrus claims that the visionaries - Ivan, Marija, Jakov, Mirjana, Ivanka and Vicka - will be asked to answer questions put forth by the committee that was formed to investigate the Marian apparitions in Medjugorje. This is supposedly most likely going to take place in the fall. During this time, according to the report, they will be asked to divulge the ten secrets that were entrusted to them by the Blessed Mother.

It must be noted, however, that the website Petrus has published other questionable reports about Medjugorje in the past, some of which have proved to be erroneous and outright vindictive. Petrus is very open about their anti-Medjugorje stance, referring to the six seers as "pseudo-visionaries" in their articles. Much of their reporting on the apparitions is clearly intended to malign the phenomenon, even before the Church has made a decision.

American news outlets, such as CatholicCulture.org, are already picking up the story, but it must be stressed that it is most likely just another attack by the anti-Medjugorje website Petrus and should not be treated as fact.
