Medjugorje Shrine Will Be Enlarged

A group of architects are preparing the extension of the shrine of the alleged apparitions in Medjugorje, Bosnia, according to Archbishop Henryk Hoser, the Apostolic Visitator to Medjugorje.

Hoser told SarajevoTimes.com (January 6) that "the plan is to extend the space for liturgical celebrations", as the open square behind the Medjugorje parish church, which until now is used for big liturgies, does not protect the faithful from the weather.

For Hoser, the increasing number of pilgrims in Medjugorje is an important argument in favor of the place.

It is unfair to call it false - no such official qualification for that.
Using 'alleged' is the proper word.
No news editor is entitled to change/amend the words of an archbishop - who never told it is false. Brackets do not even help in this case...
It is not a sin to believe in the apparitions, but it is a sin to misqualify it like here.More

Medjugorje is a money making operation using alleged apparitions of OBL as a marketing strategy.

@alex j, There is not other apparition where the opinion of local bishops (and of the former Yugoslav bishops) were overriden by the Vatican. NO formal validation will probably be made until the apparitions are ongoing.
