Rome communicates the composition of the Commission of inquiry on Medjugorje. According to Zenit, April 13, the list of the members on this Commission, presided by Cardinal Ruini, is composed of cardinals, bishops and experts that include:

Mgr Tony Anatrella (France); P. Achim Schütz; Mgr Krzysztof Nykiel; Sister Veronica Nela Gašpar (Croatia); Cardinal Jozef Tomko (Slovakia); Cardinal Vinko Puljić (Bosnia); Cardinal Josip Bozanić (Zagreb); and Cardinal Julián Herranz. They are accompanied by theologians: Mgr Angelo Amato; Mgr Pierangelo Sequeri; A. Maria David Jaeger, OFM; Zdzisław Józef Kijas, OFM; and Salvatore M. Perrella, OSM. Other experts who will collaborate on the work of the Commission include: P. Franjo Topić, S.G. (Sarajevo); P. Mijo Nikić, S.G. (Zagreb); and P. Mihály Szentmártoni, S.G.

This commission will work “behind closed doors”, and its conclusions will be submitted to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. From now on, the case of Medjugorje is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Mostar, Mgr Ratko Peric, but under the Roman Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
