A) CRITICAL:
As to their level, these tests remain superficial [....] Despite this, all the sophisticated techniques impress the simple-minded readers.

There is an obvious discrepancy between the meanness (and even the inconsistency) of the data obtained and the claim that they have scientifically proven value.

The Truth About Medjugorje (1990)
The majority of the pious public has naively fallen victim of the great propaganda. These people themselves have become the greatest propaganda for the events. They do not even stop to think that the truth has been hidden by deliberate falsehoods.
Msgr. Pavao Žanić, formerly bishop of Mostar, The Truth About Medjugorje (1990)
The numerous absurd messages, lies, falsehoods and disobedience associated from the beginning with the events and "apparitions" of Medjugorje, all refute every claim of authenticity.
Msgr. Ratko Perić, bishop of Mostar, Crkva na kamenu, No 4, 2006

On that day [30 June 1981], Jakov naively explained how he ascribed to the Virgin the answers he developed himself: "When I'm asked a question, I think to myself that she [the Gospa] is going to tell me this, and she does tell me that."
