Mystic Angelik delivers Virgin Mary’s message to vote against divorce

Self-styled mystic Angelik Caruana – whose alleged weeping Madonna statue was found to contain human blood and olive oil as revealed in an internal Curia document – today delivered the 332nd message from the Virgin Mary calling on voters to say no to divorce.

Caruana claims to deliver messages from the Holy Virgin in what have been uninterrupted visitations since 2006, when he claimed a statue of the Virgin in his house was weeping tears of blood. Sister newspaper Illum later revealed the blood found on the statue of the Holy Virgin had in fact been human blood, allegedly belonging to Angelik Caruana.

In the new message, the Virgin Mary says in so many word: “My children, join up together within one cry: ‘No!  No to divorce!  No to divorce!’.”

Caruana’s message from the Virgin Mary is passed on to Franciscan priest Hayden Williams, who is Caruana’s spiritual guide, to broadcast to the public.

Perhaps too similar to the claims by finance minister Tonio Fenech that the ‘Madonna is weeping for the Maltese’, the alleged message says: “indeed, my heart is aching. The heart of my Son Jesus aches as well. At times I also weep because of you, my children. Yes indeed, my children, I say it again: my heart aches!”

“Yes, my children, this is the reason for my weeping. This is the reason for my coming to you: because you are attempting to break up the unity of the family. Why this pro-divorce propaganda? Is it that you have become very smart? Or is it that you are now grown up and have greater know-how than before?”

Earlier this year, Caruana was involved in a security breach at the Vatican, when he attempted to climb over a security barrier at the Paul XI hall. Pope Benedict XVI was hosting a general audience at the time, when Caruana started shouting out loud to attract attention so that he delivers a letter to Ratzinger.

According to Vatican press chief Fr Ciro Benedettini, the letter was taken by the Vatican gendarmerie, containing "devotional messages". Caruana was then escorted to the exit. No aggression was reported but security guards appeared tense, according to La Repubblica.
