Des communautés religieuses s'installent a Medj sans l'autorisation de l'éveque

Please allow me to make a few observations and put forth some questions regarding these affirmations:

1 – With whom exactly have you made an “agreement” in the “parish” regarding the Blessed Sacrament?
2 – How can you make an “agreement” with the “parish” to begin “adoration of the Eucharist during the day in the chapel” of your community, thereby eluding the norms of the Church which authorize the local Ordinary regarding the custody and exposition of the Eucharist?
3 – What competent ecclesiastic authority has given you permission to reside as a “community” in the parish of Medjugorje in the Diocese of Mostar-Duvno?
4 – Who authorized you to build a chapel and to expose the blessed Sacrament every day, whether the adoration is perpetual or not?
5 – How do you reconcile the fact that you profess a vow of obedience and yet you live in contradiction to this vow by persevering in your disobedience to the local Bishop and continuing your charism of perpetual adoration?

You are well aware that being a community of diocesan right, you have not obtained permission from this Diocesan Chancery to reside nor to work in the territory of the Diocese of Mostar-Duvno. The same holds for adoration in a private chapel.

If you are sincerely “willing to fulfill” what is asked of you, then I wish to communicate the following to you:

- that you are not authorized by this Diocesan Chancery to establish a home nor to work as a community of diocesan right in Medjugorje;
- that you have absolutely no permission to keep the blessed Eucharist in custody or to expose it for purposes of adoration in a private chapel, due to the fact that Eucharist adoration is foreseen and established only in the parish church of St. James in Medjugorje.

I take this opportunity to express my best regards,

Ratko Perić, bishop
