Catholic News Service reports a commission is to be established to review the "apparitions" at Medjugorje and pastoral provisions for pilgrims. More specifically the commission is to review the 1991 bishop's report which found there are no grounds for the supernatural. The Archbishop of Sarajevo, Cardinal Puljic said the commission will be under the Bosnian bishop's conference but the appointments made by the Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith.

However what makes this event a little suspicious is the Cardinal's declining to answer if the commission was the idea of the bishop or the CDF. The Archbishop of Mostar-Duvno, which includes Medjugorje, in a recent homily said it was the judgment of the bishops that :

1. On the basis of Church investigations of the events of Medjugorje, it cannot be determined that these events involve supernatural apparitions or revelations. This means that till now the Church has not accepted, neither as supernatural nor as Marian, any of the apparitions.
2. Priests who canonically administer this parish of Medjugorje or those who come as visitors, are not authorised to express their private views contrary to the official position of the Church on the so-called “apparitions” and “messages”, during celebrations of the sacraments, neither during other common acts of piety, nor in the Catholic media.
3. The Catholic faithful are not only free from any obligation to believe in the authenticity of the “apparitions” but they must also know that church pilgrimages are not allowed, whether official or private, individual or group, or from other parishes, if they presuppose the authenticity of the “apparitions” or if by undertaking them attempt to certify these "apparitions”.
4. On the basis of the investigations and experience gained thus far, throughout these last 25 years, the Church has not confirmed a single “apparition” as authentically being the Madonna

If the bishops have already made there mind up as to the authenticity of the "apparitions", then why should they need to have another commission? That leaves the CDF but according to the Archbishop, even they "questioned how all these apparitions could be considered authentic for the Catholic faithful. They particularly do not seem to be authentic when it is known beforehand that these so-called apparitions will occur." If this is the case, then who could be asking for a new commission into the "apparitions"? The answer could be those who are behind the "apparitions", which have generated millions in believers and dollars, two things the Church is desperate to hold onto, particularly in Western countries where interest in Medjugorje is strongest.
