From an interview that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger gave to the Italian Monthly Review,“Gesuâ€, Ratzinger said when questioned about Medjugorje:
“Revelation was completed by Jesus Christ, who is Himself our revelation. Nevertheless we cannot deny that God could speak to our own age, even through humble or simple people and through extraordinary signs, to expose the shortcomings of a culture imbued with rationalism, as is the case with ours.â€
