Igualmente niega que se pueda llamar santuario, ni siquiera privadamente, a la iglesia parroquial. El obispo ordena que los sacerdotes extranjeros no den conferencias ni retiros sin un permiso expreso y además les exige un «celebret» de sus respectivas diócesis u órdenes religiosas para poder celebrar misa en Medjugorge
• prohibición de que otras órdenes religiosas, aparte de los franciscanos, decidan fijar allí su residencia sin su permiso
• pide que se retire de la web de Medjugorje las palabras "Medjugorge- un lugar de oración y reconciliación".
