On the occasion of the recent commemoration, in Mostar, of Mgr Pavao Zanic's death, his successor, Bishop Ratko Peric, spoke to the faithful "on the heroic stance of Mgr Zanic towards communist ideology, thereby disproving the recent attacks against his noble Episcopal character".
Mgr Peric revealed that he had access, last November 2011, to the secret police reports in connection with Mgr Zanic and Medjugorje.
Instead of being a "collaborator" of the communist regime, Mgr Zanic may have been rather considered as a potential "saboteur" of the government's new lucrative activities, in an ailing Yugoslav economy, particularly because of his 1984 firm Posizione expressed in the present video clip.
We know, however, that Mgr Zanic had a positive but careful attitude, in 1981. He didn't hesitate to defend the visionaries and the Franciscans against the calumnies disseminated by communist journalists and political authorities.
Finally, part of the "second" truth that "shall set us free" is to acknowledge the real concern of the courageous Pastor that Mgr Zanic was. As evidence, his words captured by the same film crew, in September 1986, and reproduced in the present video clip.
Anyone who did not believe in the place (Medjugorje) was "dismissed as an atheist", or --- as we have seen recently --- a "collaborator" of the atheists/communists according to irresponsible "Christian" Medjugorje propagandists who dared tarnish Mgr Zanic's memory.
