![]() The church has always celebrated Mary's birthday September 9th, but I guess according to the Medjugorie people that Mary told the children in the early 1980's that her real birth was in August. The apparition is to celebrate Mary's birthday. What is EWTN's position on the pre-planned apparition of the supposed Our Lady of Medjugorie in early August 2005 sponsored by the Caritas group? The apparition is to take place in your backyard Birmingham, AL. Donovan, STL Cults - Question from Craig Adkins on : ![]() I might note, there are groups called Caritas other than Caritas of Birmingham, including a Catholic charity, Caritas International, supported by the Church in Italy. If it is mentioned in a book sold at the Shrine it is purely coincidental and most definitely NOT an approval. Despite its proximity, whenever anyone asked Mother Angelica about Caritas she never encouraged anyone to visit it. Successive bishops have forbidden the celebration of the Mass there. Donovan, STL on :Ĭaritas has no ecclesiastical approval, local or Roman. I was just wondering if the Church or the Pope (someone told me he approved it) approved it, and how yall fill about it. But while at the temple or the shrine not sure which one I picked up some pieta books and it has Caritas in the book. When I called the Birmingham Diocese about it they said stay away they did not support it. I was wondering how EWTN and Mother Angelica felt about Caritas. ![]() Donovan, STL Caritas Birmingham Planned Apparition - Question from Mary Sonnier on : With such a negative standing with Church authority in the Diocese of Birmingham, I believe you can reach your own conclusion about the wisdom of pursuing any interest in the organization. Our local bishop has stated in the daily newspaper that it is a "business" and his priests do not have permission to celebrate Mass there. Can you let me know whether I should continue receiving their mailings? Answer by Bill Bilton on :Ĭaritas of Birmingham is a controversial organization. ![]() Some of the commentary seems overly strict and somewhat outlandish. The group claims to have an inside line to the happenings at Medjugorge. The disturbing part is the coomentary by the "Founder", who will not reveal who he or she is. Is Caritas of Birmingham a legitimate place to get Our Lady's messages? This group mails out blue post cards with the monthly message. Caritas of Birmingham - Question from Roberta on :
