RFC: Restore Material on OLM
Should the following paragraphs be restored to the section on Our Lady of Medjugorje? They were removed because an editor said he objected to the sources used.

In 1988, the pope, John Paul II, received a group of Croatian Catholics in his private chapel. Instantly he recognized two members of the group from photographs he had seen and approached them, observing, 'Ah yes, Jelena and Marijana, (seers of Our Lady of Medjugorje) who have the interior locutions.'" He greeted every person in the group and then returned his focus on the two girls, staring into their eyes for some time. Two years later in 1990 John Paul II dispatched his confidante, Bishop Hnilica, to accompany Marija, another seer of Our Lady of Medjugorje, on a visit to Russia; 'the bishop told her repeatedly how much the pope wished he could visit Medjugorje..."

Franic wrote a letter to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI, on February 18, 1985, about his concerns regarding Bishop Pavao Žanić, who oversaw Medjugorje, and his approach to the situation in Medjugorje. He requested that the Holy See take over the investigation of the apparitions and appoint an international commission.

In April 1986 Zanic went to Rome to submit his negative report of the apparitions to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was at the time Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. “Ratzinger summoned him to a personal meeting and reportedly chastised the bishop, telling him that he disapproved of his methods of investigation. Furthermore, the Prefect of the CDF ordered Žanić to suspend his negative judgment, dissolve his commission, and place the entire matter of the investigation into the hands of the Holy See.” Zanic and his commission were released from any further investigations into Medjugorje. Zanic was also instructed to maintain silence about Medjugorje. The Yugoslav Bishops’ Conference was ordered to appoint a new commission under its direction.

RFC: Remove Kutlesa Allegation
Should the sentences below be removed? The source was prepared by Kutlesa for Bishop Peric who was the bishop overseeing Medjugorje. The source was published by the Episcopal Ordinariate Mostar which Bishop Perics also oversaw. Peric had a negative bias towards Our Lady of Medjugorje apparitions and was directly involved.

Dražen Kutleša writing about the matter for Bishop Peric who took over from Bishop Zanic, reported that in March 1994, while in Mostar, Hnilica falsely presented himself as the Pope's personal delegate and attributed statements to Pope John Paul II supportive of Medjugorje, which were dismissed as false by the Vatican.
