And this summer, at the end of July 2009, Benedict acted on his doubts. He has removed from the clergy one of two local priests most active in supporting the visions, Tomislav Vlašic, and threatened him with excommunication. (The suspension of the other, Jozo Zovko, from pastoral duties was confirmed in 2004.) Vlašic is also prohibited from residing in Franciscan facilities. The story has received little coverage in the United States, but has excited widespread comment in Ireland, from where millions of people had gone to Medjugorje, and Britain, which also contributed a significant contingent.

Pocas tohto leta, koncom jula r.2009 papez Benedikt XVI. urobil svoje rozhodnutie zalozene na svojich pochybnostiach.

Jednemu z dvoch miestnych medjugorskych knazov, ktory bol velmi aktivny v podpore medjugorskych zjaveni, odobral statut knazstva . Pater TOMISLAV VLASIC bol exkomunikovany. 

V r.2004 bol p.Jozo ZOVKO suspendovany z pastoracie.

Simon Caldwell of the Catholic News Service recently wrote that Vlašic was moved last year to a Franciscan monastery in the Italian city of L’Aquila, “after he refused to cooperate in a Vatican investigation of his activities for suspected heresy and schism. He also was being investigated for ‘the diffusion of dubious doctrine, manipulation of consciences, suspected mysticism, disobedience towards legitimately issued orders and charges contra sextum (against the Sixth Commandment not to commit adultery).”
