10. I've been to Medjugorje too.

My personal feeling is that it's bogus.

My trip had its aspects of being a retreat and parts of it were fun and parts were spiritual, but overall, regarding the alleged apparitions and visionaries--I don't buy it. There was too much disobedience on the part of the local order of priests, some inconsistent messages, and I saw with my own eyes and in my own group a fanaticism and a desire to see "signs and wonders" and to get the "good feelings."

I wish I had instead spent my money on a trip to Rome.
