MEDJUGORJE: la scienza cosa dice?

Two million pilgrims every year. Six visionaries who have received daily apparitions of the Virgin Mary since 1981—over 23,000 in total. The Vatican gave its approval in 2024. And two bishops who for thirty years have said it is not supernatural. Medjugorje is one of the most discussed and controversial religious phenomena of our time. Does science have anything to say? Do the experiments on visionaries really prove what is claimed? And what is behind the economic conflict of interest that no one wants to name? 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Theme Song 01:25 - Medjugorje: What does science say? 02:26 - It all begins like this 08:33 - Who are the visionaries today 11:11 - The bishop who said "no" 16:54 - Does the Vatican approve? 7:15 PM - Science: Experiments and Limitations 10:47 PM - Why Do They Believe It? 33:07 - Final Greetings 34:24 - Credits READ MY NEW BOOK: "The Mystery of Man's Origins.
