Spirit Daily reports favorably on the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje all of the time. I usually ignore the stories but occasionally I'll skim through to see if there is anything new. The site actually promotes the apparitions, although the authors usually claim to simply report on developments there.

I remember a conversation several years ago with a young woman who was convinced the apparitions were authentic. She was praising the faith of the pilgrims who continued to journey to Medjugorje despite the war at the time. I asked how she could believe Our Lady was there, telling secrets, while so many people were being killed. I reasoned, "Certainly the secrets would have something to do with all the horror taking place in that region!" As typical of Medjugorje devotees, the young woman became very defensive and suggested I was being blasphemous.

Yet today the apparitions are said to continue, and supposedly not all of the secrets have been told to 3 of the seers. Daily the world grows more uneasy, global unrest increases, we've lived through the very worst crises in the history of the Church, post-Vatican II reforms, including the ongoing drama of clerical abuse and corruption... And yet the apparition hasn't finished revealing the secrets to all of the seers, and nothing is ever said in the ongoing messages regarding what has been happening in the Church and the world. Advocates or promoters of the Medjugorje tourism and lecture industry insist one has to go there to actually "get it". Get what?

As far as all of the secrets having been revealed to half of the seers, one of them claims to have each secret written down - but they are invisible for now. "Seer Mirjana Dragićević Soldo (says) that her secrets are written on a mysterious piece of parchment that is only visible, right now, to her. That was allegedly given to Mirjana after her last daily apparition in 1982. States her spiritual director, Father Petar Ljubičić, "When the time comes, the contents of the first secret will become visible to me on the parchment and after seven days everyone else will be able to read it because it will cease to be a secret. This will happen until all ten secrets have been revealed and their consequence." - Spirit Daily

Even Michael Brown thinks that is weird.
