Thirteen of fifteen members of the Vatican commission chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini to investigate the apparitions in Medjugorje believe in a supernatural nature of the first seven alleged apparitions, writes Vaticaninsider.
In 1981 six local children claimed to have seen Our Lady in Medjugorje, Bosnia. Three of them still allege to have apparitions.
The commission distinguishes between the beginning of the phenomenon (June 24 to July 3, 1981) and the following 50.000 apparitions that allegedly have occurred since. One reason: In the beginning the children stated that the apparitions would end.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith has expressed doubts about the the commission’s report.

@Peter Joshua Aceves I think it is needed. Without that we cannot properly and objectively judge this phenomena. Thanks for udnerstanding, I do not want to write more about this.

We need a final report on the evidence we already have?
Fr. Tomislav Vlasic admitted he's been involved in New Age since 2002 — back when he was still spiritual advisor to the Medjugorje seers.
The Virgin (Medjugorje) also reportedly said, 'All religions are equal before God' — espousing the heresy of indifferentism. www.churchmilitant.com/…/official-medjug…

@Peter Joshua Aceves , these are articles written by journalists. Even the first one includes this sentence: "The Vatican has not yet made the report public". I do not argue whether these bits of information are from the unpublished report, but am quite concerned about the intentions these websites serve to prove their "authenticity" and insider information sources.

@Peter Joshua Aceves , how come that you regard ChurchMilitant as official publisher of the report? I think ChruchMilitant published something that is not true: "The final tally on authenticity of apparitions from 1982 onwards resulted in zero votes in favor, two votes against, and 12 votes claiming no opinion could be given."
So final vote: 0-2-12.
What makes this so negative? Why is "NO OPINION …More

Church leaders (ie. Vatican commission members) are wise enough not to discern an ongoing apparition - this has never happened before in the history of the Church.

Bergoglio: Surrounding the alleged actual apparitions, the report has it doubts. I personally am more negative: I prefer the Virgin Mary as a mother, our mother, not as head of a post office that sends a message every day at a specific time, THIS IS NOT THE MOTHER OF JESUS... www.youtube.com/watch If this is not the mother of Jesus then is a demon or product of a crazy minds.

How do you understand this mockery of the Vatican/ Bergoglio? , where the initial apparitions of Medjugorje contradict the new "fake" apparitions that Bergoglio doubts. After the first apparitions the seers became CRAZY or possessed and continued to deceive and cheat people with false apparitions and false Marian messages. 
The pope -as usual, on the airplane, to journalists- tells his private opinion about questions raised by journalist. I do not think this is the proper way to formulate and communicate a papal opinion. What he says is definitely meaningful, but journalist's publications are not obligatory to follow.
