Diocese of Mostar-Duvno

So for decades, the Ch- Catholic Church didn't officially endorse Međugorje.

You know, local bishops in the diocese there in Mostar-Duvno were themselves very skeptical, and some were openly critical of the site and disbelieving.

And so the Vatican, who is famously cautious, you know, they took a very deliberate approach.

They studied the phenomenon for years, uh, really decades.
