	Gospa (1995) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Gospa is a nice little low budget movie which tells the true story of six children seeing visions of the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje (perhaps one of the most controversial miracles) circa 1981.
		Still, millions of Catholics come to the small church by the day to watch the children talk to the Virgin Mary, concerning the government.
		Overall, Gospa is a well-made film, but not for those who expect to see Mary in big white clouds, or the sun falling from the sky or any other kind of miracle in the optical sense, but rather in the sense of human conflict, ending in the protection of the faith.

		Secondly, we have the original Spanish and it is obvious to those who understand the language that there have been serious discrepancies in the translation.
		GOSPA translation: All the bishops of the diocese since l96l through l970 agreed that there was no supernatural validity for the apparitions (last part of the sentence omitted).
		Furthermore, the entire GOSPA translation conveys a harsh tone that is not characteristic of the Spanish original.

		Many of these people claim spiritual and emotional healing due to the "Gospa" or because one of the "seers" prayed over them...many more insist that they owe their renewed Catholic fervor is itself a fruit attributable to the "Gospa" and/ or contact with the seers themselves.
		The fruits that the "Gospa" of Medjugorje has borne to those closest to her have little to do with Christian notions of conversion and penance, and much to do with values so prized by the New Age: self-esteem, self-realization, guiltlessness, the enjoyment of the abundant life.
		On one occasion, the "Gospa" actually complains about "her" messages not being taken seriously enough:I don't wish to force anyone to do that which he neither feels nor desires, even though I had special messages for the parish by which I wanted to awaken the faith of every unbeliever.

	The Visionaries of Medjugorje
		The Blessed Mother has chosen each of them, not because they were more prayerful or pious than any other, but because she wished them to relay her messages to the world.
		Please note that the visionaries are not the stories of Medjugorje but rather the chosen messengers who relay the messages of the Gospa to the world.
		They are prayerful, unique individuals trying to live their lives under the watchful eye of the world as privately and devoutly as possible.

	The Ghosts of Surmanci: Queen of Peace, Ethnic Cleansing, Ruined Lives
		Somewhere between the hypothesis that Medjugorje was a joke that got out of hand and the theory that the kids are talking to demons, I begin to descry a third possibility, based on its geographical and historical context and their relationship to the massacres at Surmanci just on the other side of apparition hill.
		Tito died in 1980; all of Eastern Europe was in turmoil caused by picture of Solidarity workers kneeling in front of the Gdansk shipyard praying the Rosary to the Black Madonna.
		.I then asked the Gospa what that meant, and she replied that they are in Purgatory and are in need of a little hope to get them into Heaven: they begged their mother to pray for them while they prayed for themselves.

		In a way, the bulk of the messages of the "Gospa" can be likened to the story of the little boy who was sent to Sunday School by his mother; but instead of going to the church, the boy went fishing at a nearby creek.
		One wonders if the "Gospa" has ever read this inspired passage by St. Peter addressed to the (worldwide) Catholic Church:But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his admirable light.
		In this statement, the "Gospa" first reduces religious truth to a moral code, saying that the only difference among religions on earth is the fact that the adherents of some are more faithful to the commandments than others.

		Here is an idea from a French mother: “Last year I used the calendar my daughter had received from her uncle for Advent where she could find a chocolate present for each day.
		If the Gospa was so sad the other day, if she confided to Mirjana words that Mirjana is not allowed to repeat, we cannot afford not to take very seriously her appeals and put them into practice!

		During this period, the Gospa appeared where the seers (who were being tracked down), discreetly awaited her, away from the patrols of the police.
		The seers believe the apparitions had ended, but the Gospa appeared to each one of them separately, where he or she was.
		For some, the Gospa said that they would be cured only if their faith was strong; and for others, no. Then she prepared to depart.

		Gospa is less an example of artful filmmaking than rousing sermonizing.
		The movie's story is based on actual events that occurred in Bosnia in 1981 when a group of six children in the village of Medjugorje claimed to see visions of the Virgin.
		Gospa's narrative aims are not the discovery of the story's inherent drama and conflict but, rather, the inspiration of the faithful to continue fighting the good fight.

		Komadina: At present, allegedly, the Gospa is appearing every 25th of the month, and is giving the usual messages for fasting and penance.

	Falsehoods on Film
		From the religious title of the film "Gospa", a believer would expect a lot more religious content in the film: Marian and Mariological studies, or messages of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ.
		Yet in the film, despite its title "Gospa", there is little said on Mary, the Mother of God.
		A film which abuses the name of our Lady, which does not shy away from an incorrect and insulting presentation of the local Bishop, under a holy title, yet lacking religious culture, awakens in believers disappointment and does not merit the attention of the faithful!
