Medjugorje: Profile of Cardinal Ruini on Rome Reports

With no official word from the Holy See, other than some private acknowledgements that would seem to indicate strongly that Cardinal Ruini is heading up a commission on Medjugorje, Rome Reports - a private media firm not affiliated with the Holy See, offers this interesting profile on His Eminence. 



Cardinal Ruini has background in philosophy and is a professor of dogmatic theology. I've heard that he is a humble, gentle man, and was close to the late Pope John Paul II and, now Pope Benedict XVI. He does not come across as one who is going to leave any stone unturned or let go of objectivity (and the pursuit of truth itself) for the sake of sentimentalities. 

Te Deum Laudamus! Home

The obedient are not held captive by Holy Mother Church; it is the disobedient who are held captive by the world!
