Hi @Alex A I urge you not to rush into making hasty conclusions. The truth is, that the events as foretold are unique amongst Marian Apparitions by proving their own authenticity through the fulfillment of the major prophecies; yet to unfold.
It also safeguards Garabandal from false declarations by the Vatican until such time as the valid election of a successor to Benedict XV1 is held.
While we wait; there is no rational reason for anyone to draw presumptive conclusions based upon speculative comments by others.

@English Catholic Apology accepted.

My post was intended as a primary source of information for those seeking to delve deeper into the Garabandal phenomena and NOT as a forum for those intending to 'LETS BUY AN ARGUMENT.
Moving on:
The only reason for concern would be if the Great Miracle didn't happen, however we have assurances from Conchita that the Miracle will indeed occur based upon the fact that everything told her by the Mother of God had come true. Source: BBC 'After the Visions' when the seer was interviewed at length by BBC journalist Bill Nicholson.

Since The Holy Virgin has promised that among those present in Garabandal for the Miracle "all the sick will be cured" and given the supernatural character of the event, it makes logical sense that Joey's injury would be included. How this may happen is explored in an Op-Ed piece I wrote a couple of years ago and included in this reply for your interest and that of other visitors. GARABANDAL and JOSEPH LOMANGINO’S NEW EYES – an opinion.

With respect to Fr Andre's remains I expect them to be found incorrupt as on the day he died. No surprises there either -- as many of our beloved saints bear witness

@English Catholic I had no input to the magazine nor its publication - your inference is therefore incorrect. Concerning Joey's new eyes, this event is to occur at the time of the Miracle and not before as many falsely proclaim. Unusual; that your so called 'comprehensive knowledge' failed to pickup the error. As we await the Miracle prior assumptions amount to nothing more than speculation.The same applies to your conclusion concerning Fr Luis Andreu's incorrupt body.

@Live Mike Thank you for your kind reply and now further comment by me:

The enormity of Garabandal is yet to be fully realized and is embedded in the Holy Virgins Important Messages for the World. Those Messages were given full ecclesiastical approval by Bishop Aldazabal of Santander (Spain) who, in a nota dated July 8, 1965, had to admit:

"We would like to say, however, that we have found no grounds for an ecclesiastical condemnation, either in the doctrine or in the spiritual recommendations that have been divulged in the events and addressed to the Christian faithful; furthermore, these recommendations contain exhortations to prayer, sacrifice, devotion to the Holy Eucharist, and devotion to the Blessed Virgin under traditional praiseworthy forms; these are also exhortations to a holy fear of the Lord, offended by our sins...".

Fr Malachi Martin responds further in his 1998 interview by talk show host Art Bell.

“And...in 1961 there was a second appearance, this time in Spain, in Garabandal. And the opening words indeed of that revelation were: 'Because my sons have not listened to my orders, my mandate, here is what is going to happen...' and the message was very dire, a repetition of the Third Secret in brief form.

The Holy Virgins Messages for the World:

October18, 1961: We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives, If we do not, a chastisement will befall us. The cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us.
June 18, 1965: As my message of October 18 has not been complied with and has not been made known to the world, I am advising you that this is the last one. Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over. Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them. Less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist. You should turn the wrath of God away from yourselves by your efforts. If you ask His forgiveness with sincere hearts, He will pardon you. I, your mother, through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel, ask you to amend your lives.
You are now receiving the last warnings. I love you very much and do not want your condemnation. Pray to us with sincerity and we will grant your requests. You should make more sacrifices. Think about the passion of Jesus."

Hypothesis.

We know for certain that Paul VI and John Paul II were made aware of Garabandal, and in all probability informed of the year -- if not the actual date, of the Miracle. Paul VI to Conchita: "Conchita, I bless you and the whole world blesses you". John Paul II to Albrecht Weber, [Author,'Garabandal Der Zeigefinger Gottes'] " May God reward you for everything. Especially for the deep love with which you are making the events connected with Garabandal more widely known. May the Message of the Mother of God find an entrance into hearts before it is too late..." We also know for certain that both Popes had read the Third Secret of Fatima. Accepting that the Garabandal Messages also reveal the undisclosed contents of the same secret, [Malachi Martin again]. It logically follows that; any inclination by Popes Paul VI or John Paul II, to hurriedly proceed with the consecration of Russia was suddenly and unexpectedly removed. The reason is that the conversion of Russia is now set to occur as a consequence of the Great Miracle at Garabandal, [1963 locution to Conchita]. Besides explaining the reluctance on the part of the Popes [including Benedict XVI] to proceed with the consecration of Russia specifically, it also explains why the emphasis on their part had been more toward a global consecration or none at all. Any lingering doubt in their minds about the credibility of Fatima Visionary; Sr Lucy's testimony, is also addressed by heavens new mandate to the Garabandal Visionaries who, at least initially, were to assume responsibility for making the Holy Virgins Messages known. The Holy Virgin and Heavens deadline for the release of the Fatima Third Secret expired in 1960 because of the failure by John XXIII to heed the request from the Queen of Prophets. The Apparitions of Garabandal began to unfold on June 18 of the following year - no mere accident in the opinion of this writer.
Although initially, the Bishops of Santander did all they could to discredit the visionaries and as one commentator put it: "Wipe Garabandal off the map" they all failed to do so. Surprisingly, the head of the first investigative Commission, which brought down a negative judgment on the apparitions; Eminent Psychiatrist Dr Louis Morales has since publicly reversed his earlier decision. He and another priest member of that Commission, -- later to become Bishop of Santander, were to devote their retirement years promoting the apparitions!

In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
