Archbishop Ruben Hector Di Monte of Argentina gave powerful words of his belief that Medjugorje fell in the line of other major Marian apparitions. However, he stated his belief that Medjugorje was the center of all other apparitions. His attention was drawn to Medjugorje because of major conversions he saw happen in his own family due to Medjugorje. Archbishop Di Monte said:
“In the past century, Our Lady has already begun Her work: Rue du Bac, Lourdes, Fatima, and, in my opinion Medjugorje is the nucleus of Her work. Through this nucleus She is continuing what She began in Rue du Bac…The conversion of my two cousins during their pilgrimage to Medjugorje is what urged me to come to Medjugorje. One of them had been a Communist and the other a Fascist.â€
