Your question is the biased one. The silence of the Vatican is not an endorsement. My question would be: Why is it that in 28 years the Vatican has not endorsed Medjugorje despite the "extremely large body of evidence that supports the case for apparitions in Medjugorje"? ^ The article simply reports the case as it stands–meaning that the Vatican has suspended Medjugorje’s priest and the tentative stand of Bosnian bishops.

The truth is that the Vatican has not ruled neither for nor against Medjugorje. Now why would that be after 28 years if the Vatican's position were that Medjugorje was the work of the devil? The extremely large body of evidence that supports the case for apparitions in Medjugorje has been completely ignored. For one who advocates critical thinking, this article is quite biased.
