06 · EDITION AND WITNESS COMPARISON
How the evidence for Medjugorje’s Ten Secrets changes
The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vatican · 2024 Medjugorje note | 1981 onward | Baseline source | Decades of messages, interviews and investigations exist; the Vatican's 2024 note permitted devotion for spiritual fruits without declaring a supernatural origin. |
| Scholarly or institutional interpretation | Later review | Context layer | Explains language, history and uncertainty without becoming the original text. |
| Viral quotation or modern event match | Recent circulation | Derivative layer | Most vulnerable to translation drift, omitted failures and hindsight; compare with Vatican · 2024 Medjugorje note. |

08 · WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Comparison with events
By 2026 the full secrets and promised disclosure procedure have not been publicly verified, while pilgrimage impact is a separate documented fact.09 · DISPUTES AND COUNTERARGUMENTS
Where interpretation changes
The main dispute concerns the distance between 1981 onward and Initial testimony · recurring messages · local inquiries · 2024 Vatican judgment. Translation, selective quotation, changed definitions and hindsight can make a broad record appear more exact than it was. Competing readings are therefore preserved rather than silently merged.10 · EVIDENCE SCORE & PROVISIONAL CONCLUSION
