We are truly sorry that once again we must put the word calumny into the title of an article, hence we apologize to our respected readers. Yet how else can we describe this renewed malicious attack against the Bishops of Mostar, the late Pavao Žanić and the current Ratko Perić? Despite our previous reply, considered not only by us but also by many who have read our answers, to be a reasoned rebuttal of all the lies and calumnies, the defamers and their leaders have not stopped. These past few days (this time without the famous request for $ 4.99 through the social media and some of the local and "national" web sites), the public has been offered another defamatory film that slanders the shepherds of the Church in Mostar. Unlike the first "movie" authored by a certain Drozd and Bezael, which was "supported" by Nazareth production, this latest work has as its only character the same General Maksimov from the film "From Fatima to Medjugorje" and a lady "journalist" without a name. This half-hour conversation repeats all the rubbish that was spread in the previous "movie" without providing even a single piece of evidence or a document. Although there is no signature of the author or the producer, it is clear where the wind is blowing from and what the aim is. In the absence of arguments to contradict the spirit guiding the spiritual shepherds of Mostar defending God's truth, the dignity of the Madonna and the image of the Church, they are resorting to a malicious attack ad hominem – to the man, that has no connection with the truth or human honesty. The latest film of General Maksimov in fact, provides nothing new except that he met six times with bishop Perić in Rome, in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. Later on we will deal with this, yet for a better understanding, we point out to our readers our previous replies: Suradnici Udbe i KGB-a ("Collaborators" of the UDBA and KGB), Calumnies in Film and Sedlar's Calumnies. General Maksimov Everyone who has even superficially followed this media lynching of the Bishops of Mostar and our answers can clearly see that this latest "cinematic" enterprise is a reaction to our replies. However, in the absence of arguments to reject the Truth, lies are repeated. This seems to follow one of Goebbels' sayings: "A lie repeated 100 times becomes true". However, every lie remains a lie, while the truth will always come to light: "The more you try to hide it, from where you never would have thought, exactly there it comes more to light" as Marin Držić (a famous Croatian author) said during his time. General Maksimov wants to present himself as a truthful man, a conscientious task-maker, with no other interests than the protection of order: Our services are not "notorious", for we did not deal with "lies", we were very thorough in our processing of individuals or groups. Of course, we were known to be unpleasant, but this was all in the interest of the defense of communism. According to his own words, he entered the service of the KGB [Soviet secrete service] to defend communism in 1966 on the recommendation of his father who also "spent his entire life in various positions in the KGB". Only three years later, in 1969, after having spent only a year in "Czechoslovakia", he was honored with the rank of colonel. We all know what Czechoslovakia suffered and survived at that time. Would it now be considered improper to pose the question of how not just individuals and minor groups, but also entire national groups of both Czechs and Slovaks were "unpleasantly" treated, that a thirty-year-old, after only three years of service could become a colonel? Related to this topic and a cause for concern to us is: how can the "testimony" and "truth" of those who sent millions of people to death become so unquestionable that - with this irrefutable proof – they use this to attack those who have devoted their entire lives to the Truth and who have suffered in their lives due to various “truths” of the UDBA [Yugoslav secret police] and KGB? This question begs for a serious psychological study. However, we do not need any studies to prove the truth on bishops Pavao and Ratko of Mostar. Similarly, as we have said in the previous replies, we are not writing this response in the hope of arguing against the defamers and false witnesses, but to strengthen in the truth and that which is good, those whom this type of cinematic poison can bring discomfort to the heart. Bishop Žanić Regrading bishop Žanić, the general reiterated the same previous slanderous claims, yet for the second time in his media address to the public, he does not provide even a single letter of the "incriminating document" that made the Bishop reject the "gift from heaven", that is, the appearance of the Blessed Virgin in his own diocese! He cannot truly think that his empty words are sufficient and that an objective and reasonable viewer and reader will think that the secret services would only have one copy of the "document" which they surrendered in full trust to the Vatican and remained without any material evidence of their allegations? By reading the available documents from the archives, it is apparent that each document was made in multiple copies and delivered to higher instances at various addresses. They were also kept in the archives of the secret services that was operative, as well as in the file of the examined person. In these documents, at least amongst those that were kindly opened to us upon our request to Sarajevo, there in the brackets beside the name of bishop Žanić, there was never written a "S" for suradnik - collaborator, but exclusively OO for operativno obrađen - "operationally processed" with the note at the end of the document that he is an "enemy activist", often under the ordinal number 1. To have in front of you this kind of documentation and to claim that bishop Žanić was a collaborator of the UDBA since 1981, is nothing but diabolical slander, the fruit of those who have surrendered their minds and hearts, their names and services, to the father of lies. In this "Year of Bishop Žanić", which we commenced on 19 May last, in his native place - Kaštel Novi, in Croatia, and which we will conclude, God willing, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth, on 20 May 2018 in Mostar, we will write extensively about his relationship to state authorities and his behavior both during communism and during the democratic changes of the nineties of the last century. Bishop Perić General Maksimov once again as a nonsensical soldier states: "Yes, I was introduced to Ratko Perić immediately in December 1982. Comrade Kuznjecov brought me to a meeting with him. From then, we met 7 times up until 1989." To the question of the “journalist”: How often did you contact Ratko Perić after 1989? Maksimov replied: "I saw him personally one time in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008." We have already written about the alleged encounters from 1982 to 1989 in the replies entitled “Suradnici” Udbe i KGB-a – “Collaborators” of the UDBA and KGB and "Calumnies in Film", but also in “Sedlar's Calumnies”. Therefore, we do not consider it necessary to discuss this any further, however, since the general expanded the time frame and doubled the number of meetings, we should briefly look at these new shameless calumnies of the general. Even though Maksimov tells the journalist that before filming the interview he had refreshed his memory: "Before I came to this filming, I looked at my personal diary in which I always wrote everything, so that I could do a more faithful report on my service," he does not consider it useful despite all the media hype when it comes to the Bishops of Mostar, to confirm his claims, if not with documents, which obviously do not exist, then at least with his own diary records, in which he “always wrote everything”. But he obviously is a "craftsman" who knows that specific dates, times and places of encounter, when fictitious - and in this case they are - can easily be challenged. Because he himself knows that "the very intelligent and highly educated man", as Maksimov describes bishop Ratko, keeps his own diary as well as the institution he serves. Starting from the assumption that Catholic Bishops often travel to Rome - specifically to the Vatican, especially the bishop of Mostar, he mentions off the top of his head, a list of years of meetings in Rome from 2000 to 2008. For the time being, let's just say this: regarding the years listed, bishop Ratko did not even go to Rome for two of these years! This was because the "Herzegovinian case" was resolved in principle already in the year 2000! Which precise years Msgr. Perić was not in Rome we will keep to ourselves, until Maksimov stirs up as much military courage as he has of defamatory boldness, and instead of facing the camera without documents, he stands in front of the Bishop with the papers, which the Bishop publicly invited him to do in the reply "Calumnies in Film". With a refreshed memory in the new film, the general recalls the names, dates, places and topics during the meetings with the representatives of the Vatican, as well as the “comrades” from the Yugoslav secret services. Yet the identity of the “common friend” who was the contact person all along - the mediator and organizer of the meeting with the rector and bishop Ratko, is not mentioned at all. We believe that to those who desire to come to the truth it remains unclear why the general is hiding the dates, documents and identity of the key person. With his own words he has sown a great amount of evil. From a man who claims his service and of course he himself of not being "infamous" and "never lying", after our description that all his words are nothing but blasphemous calumny, the least one would expect would be for him to bring to the light of day the documentation on the basis of which he makes his claims and to invite witnesses. In answering the journalist’s question whether he possibly blackmailed or forced the Bishop to collaborate with him, the general replied: “We did not blackmail him with anything. He came to us to do the ‘business’ that no one else could do. He had been convinced into this by the priest in Rome who connected us. No blackmail, just pure business.” And that “pure business”, as we had already written earlier, according to the general’s claims consisted of: You destroy the Franciscans in Herzegovina, and I will destroy Medjugorje. We have previously responded on how the “business” ran up until 1989. But what is interesting is the fact that from the last meeting in 1989 until 2000, there is no contact between the two. Everyone, even someone who is only somewhat familiar with the circumstances in Herzegovina knows that many things happened exactly during that time and that, if there was any “collaboration”, it would have only intensified. After the democratic changes, a war broke out in this region which in its worst forms did not spare Herzegovina. It was a war which was supported by the secret services, even the one that general Maksimov was a part of. How is it that the powerful general did not intervene, if he could not protect all of Herzegovina from war, at least to save the Chancery and the Cathedral, into which the long anticipated “business partner” was meant to move into, be consecrated and, empowered by episcopal ordination, and put into practice the “deal”? How is it that he did not “protect” him from a violent removal from his own apartment and long-hour shameless detention in captivity in the neighbourhood of Cim in Mostar in 1995? These would be reasonable arguments for rational minds, but Maksimov with his calumnies has parted with rationality! The reality however, is completely different. Even before he was ordained a Bishop in 1992, Monsignor Perić, like everyone else, could read the April 1991 Zadar declaration that denied the supernatural nature of the events of Medjugorje. We repeat once again: There is no document or public statement of Rector Perić in which his viewpoint of the Medjugorje phenomenon can be seen. And regarding the Herzegovinian case, this developed as follows: Just after taking over the administration of the dioceses of Herzegovina in 1993, bishop Perić, exclusively and according to the Church plan, in accordance with Canon law and the directives of the Holy See, initiated talks on the implementation of the 1975 decree entitled Romanis Pontificibus. Nothing more and nothing less than what was decided by the Decree. The talks were held without the mediation of anyone outside the Church, involving only those persons and institutions that were responsible for the matter. These meetings were held in Herzegovina and in the Vatican up until 2000. Therefore, all this during the time frame when there was no contact between the Bishop and the general. We therefore rightly ask: does general Maksimov wish to suggest that he influenced some other parties in the Church conversations: from the Franciscan Provincial administration in Herzegovina or the Franciscan General Curia in Rome or the Congregations of the Holy See or even the members of the Franciscans’ General Chapter held in Assisi of 1997 where it was decided that the Romanis Pontificibus decree should be implemented instantly and in full, after which, through the mediation of the General Curia and the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, the concrete implementation of the Decree with all the decisions of the Curia and the Holy See was agreed? Even if for an instant we were to believe in the authenticity of Maksimov’s claims, how could one not ask: if bishop Ratko was not blackmailed by anything and it was all just a job to be done on the basis of “you give me – I give you”, what could then make all the other interested parties under pressure from the KGB and UDBA, succumb under the “unreasonable hatred of bishop Ratko towards the Franciscans”? This is a dangerous and poisonous theory that is the foundation of the film and the interview and which we consider that even the masterminds behind the defamatory film “From Fatima to Medjugorje” did not count on. Therefore, we consider this attack on the Bishops of Mostar not just an attack on them personally but on the Church as well; not just in Herzegovina but the universal Church, no matter how often some insist on saying that “two Bishops are not the entire Church”. Conclusion Our Lord Jesus was diabolically slandered by the Pharisees that he exorcized demons out of people with the satanic power of Beelzebub (Mt 12:25-29). Jesus very simply did, however with divine strength, exorcize the possessed people he met or those that were brought to him. He only could not exorcize the Pharisees who intentionally sinned against the Holy Spirit with their diabolical slander. It is not entirely clear why general Maksimov joined in the action of offering his “help” to tear down a Province of around two hundred Herzegovinian Franciscans instead of jealously guarding his Soviet imperialistic system. And yet it collapsed like a house of cards in 1989-1990! Possibly due to Pope Saint John Paul II and the Holy See, with whose clerics general Maksimov, as he brags, maintained contacts up until his almighty SSSR helplessly and irretrievably disintegrated! During the opening address at the seventieth regular meeting of the Bishops’ Conference of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Banja Luka on 13 July this year, the President of the Conference, Cardinal Vinko Puljić, among other things, said: “We know all too well the old UDBA method of creating division and distrust among people. To succeed in this, they accuse an individual Bishop as a collaborator of the UDBA as they did with the late bishop Pavao Žanić and the current bishop Ratko Perić in Mostar. Likewise, some authorities want to ‘silence’ bishop Franjo (Komarica of Banja Luka) to not to point out the injustices and therefore they find it easier to accuse him. The tactics of old UDBA cronies has always been the same: a good offence is the best defence”. But the best defence is the Truth that the Mostar Bishops have always been preaching, fighting for and ready to make a greater sacrifice for than the vicious attacks of the authors of defamatory film scenarios, the masterminds behind it all and the protagonists themselves. Our intention with this statement is to refute these lies with the truth. We repeat once again: We are not so naïve to believe that with this reply we will bring the unscrupulous liars to the Truth. Our wish has always been and remains, to faithfully encourage our respected readers who are disturbed by this type of blasphemous calumny and invite them to always stand by the Truth that will set us all free.

Istinski nam je žao što još jednom u naslov pisanja moramo staviti riječ kleveta pa se stoga i poštovanim čitateljima ispričavamo. A kako drugačije okarakterizirati ovaj ponovni bezočni napad na mostarske biskupe, pokojnoga Pavla Žanića i aktualnoga Ratka Perića? Ali, i nakon našega - ne samo po nama nego i po mnogima koji su čitali naše odgovore - argumentirana odbacivanja svih laži - kleveta, akteri i njihovi nalogodavci ne sustaju. Naime ovih dana, bez famoznih 4,99 USD, posredstvom društvenih mreža i nekih lokalnih i „nacionalnih“ portala javnosti je ponuđen još jedan filmski difamatorski podmetak koji kleveće mostarske crkvene pastire. Za razliku od prvoga „filma“ koji su auktorski potpisali izvjesni Drozd i Bezael, a iza svega „stala“ produkcijska kuća Nazareth production, u ovom najnovijem nastupa samo glavni lik iz filma „Od Fatime do Međugorja“ general Maksimov i bezimena „novinarka“. Bez i jednoga dokaza - dokumenta, u polsatnu razgovoru ponavlja se sav onaj kukolj koji je u prethodnu „filmu“ posijan. I bez potpisa, kako auktora tako i naručitelja, jasno je odakle vjetar puše i koji mu je cilj: U nedostatku argumenata da se ospori duh kojim se vode mostarski duhovni pastiri u obrani Božje istine, Gospina dostojanstva i obraza Crkve, pribjegava se zlobnu udarcu ad hominem koji nema nikakva doticaja s istinom i ljudskim poštenjem. Jer najnovije filmsko obraćanje generala Maksimova ne donosi ništa nova, osim da se s biskupom Perićem u Rimu susreo šest puta: 2000., 2001., 2002., 2004., 2006. i 2008. godine - o čemu ćemo koju riječ poslije - čitatelja, radi boljega razumijevanja, upućujemo na naše prethodne osvrte: „Suradnici“ Udbe i KGB-a, Filmske klevete i Sedlarove klevete. General Maksimov Svakomu tko je, pa i površno, pratio ovaj medijski linč na mostarske biskupe i naše odgovore jasno je da je ova najnovija „filmska“ zadaća odgovor na naše osvrte. No, u nedostatku argumenata da se pobije Istina, ponavlja se laž. Valjda po onoj Goebbelsovoj: „100 puta ponovljena laž postaje istina“. Međutim svaka laž na laži ostaje, a istina će uvijek isplivati na vidjelo: „što ju već sakrivaš, / odkud ne mniš, otud kaže se većma dvaš“, kako to svojevremeno reče Marin Držić. General Maksimov želi se pokazati čovjekom istine, savjesnim izvršiteljem zadanih dužnosti, bez ikakva interesa osim interesa zaštite poretka: Naše službe nisu „zloglasne“, mi se nismo bavili „lažima“, mi smo bili vrlo temeljiti u svim našim obradama pojedinaca ili grupa. Naravno da smo znali biti i neugodni, ali sve je to bilo u interesu obrane komunizma. U službu obrane komunizma - KGB, prema vlastitim riječima, ušao je 1966. godine na preporuku svoga oca koji je također „cijeli svoj radni vijek proveo na različitim pozicijama u KGB-u“. Samo tri godine poslije, 1969., a nakon što je u „Čehoslovačkoj proveo godinu dana“ zavrijedio je čin pukovnika. Svima nam je poznato što je u to vrijeme Čehoslovačka proživjela i pretrpjela. Je li neumjesno pitanje koliko se i kako se „neugodno“ postupalo, ne samo prema pojedincima i manjim skupinama, nego i prema cijelom narodu, i češkom i slovačkom, da bi se jedan tridesetogodišnjak, nakon samo 3 godine službe, domogao čina pukovnika? Ono što nas – vezano i uz temu – ne malo zabrinjava: Kako to da „svjedočanstvo“ i „istina“ onih koji su na milijune ljudi poslali u smrt postane toliko neupitnom da se njome - tim neoborivim dokazom - napadne one koji su cijeli život posvetili Istini i zbog raznih udbaških i kagebe-ovskih „istina“ ne malo u životu pretrpjeli? Ovo pitanje traži ozbiljnu psihološku studiju. Nama nije potrebna nikakva studija da dokažemo istinu o mostarskim biskupima, Pavlu i Ratku. Isto tako, kako smo i u prethodnim obraćanjima rekli, ni ovaj osvrt ne pišemo u nadi da ćemo argumentima pobiti klevetničke nalogodavce i lažne svjedoke, nego iz razloga da ohrabrimo u istini i dobru sve one kojima ovakvi filmski otrovi mogu unijeti nemir u srce. Biskup Žanić O biskupu Žaniću general opet istim klevetničkim tvrdnjama a da ni u drugom medijskom obraćanju javnosti pokaže i jedno slovo toga „inkriminirajućega dokumenta“ kojim je natjeran da odbije „dar neba“ - pojavak Blažene Gospe u vlastitoj biskupiji! Ne misli, valjda, da je dovoljna njegova isprazna riječ i da će objektivan i razuman gledatelj i čitatelj pomisliti da tako ustrojene tajne službe imaju samo jednu kopiju „dokumenta“ koju su eto, u punoj vjeri, predale Vatikanu i ostale bez materijalnoga dokaza svojih tvrdnji? Čitajući dostupne dokumente iz arhiva vidljivo je da je svaki dokument rađen u više primjeraka i dostavljan višim instancijama na raznim adresama, čuvan u arhivu službe, koja je operativnu zadaću provodila, i u samom fasciklu obrađivane osobe. U takvim dokumentima, barem onima koji su nama na molbu iz Sarajeva uljudno ustupljeni, uvijek kod imena biskupa Žanića u zagradi stoji - nikada „s“ suradnik, nego isključivo „oo“- „operativno obrađivan“ s naznakom u završetku dokumenta da je „nositelj neprijateljske djelatnosti“, i to nerijetko pod rednim brojem 1. Imati pred sobom ovakvu dokumentaciju i tvrditi da je blagopokojni biskup Žanić bio suradnikom Udbe sve vrijeme od 1981. godine, nije ništa drugo nego dijabolična kleveta, plod onih koji su svoj um i srce, ime i službu, ustupili ocu laži. U ovoj „Godini biskupa Žanića“, koju smo započeli 19. svibnja prošloga u njegovu rodnom mjestu – Kaštel Novom i koju ćemo, Božjom voljom, završiti o Stotoj godišnjici njegova rođenja, 20. svibnja 2018. godine u Mostaru, opširno ćemo pisati i o njegovu odnosu prema državnoj vlasti i ponašanju kako za vrijeme komunizma tako i u demokratskim promjenama Devedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća. Biskup Perić General Maksimov ponovo kao Maksim po diviziji: „Da, ja sam se odmah u prosincu 1982. godine upoznao s Ratkom Perićem. Na sastanak s njim doveo me drug Kuznjecov. Od tada do 1989., našli smo se 7 puta.“ A na pitanje „novinarke“: Koliko često ste kontaktirali Ratka Perića nakon 1989.?, Maksimov odgovara: „Ja sam ga osobno vidio po jedan put 2000., 2001., 2002., 2004., 2006. i 2008. godine.“ O navodnim susretima od 1982. do 1989. pisali smo u osvrtima „'Suradnici' Udbe i KGB-a“ i „Filmske klevete“, ali i u „Sedlarovim klevetama“. Stoga i ne smatramo potrebnim na tomu se više zadržavati. No, kako je general proširio vrijeme i udvostručio broj susreta, valja nam se kratko osvrnuti i na ove nove generalove besramne klevete. Iako će sam Maksimov novinarki izjaviti da je prije snimanja intervjua osvježio memoriju: „Prije nego sam došao na ovo snimanje, pogledao sam svoj osobni dnevnik u koji sam uvijek sve zapisivao, kako bih mogao napraviti što vjerniji izvještaj svojoj službi“, on ne smatra korisnim da svoju tvrdnju, ako već ne dokumentima kojih uz svu medijsku najavu kada se radi o mostarskim biskupima, očito, nema, potvrdi barem zabilješkama iz vlastita dnevnika u koji je „uvijek sve zapisivao“. No, očito je „čovjek od zanata“ koji zna da bi se konkretni datumi, vrijeme i mjesto susreta, kada su izmišljeni – a u ovom slučaju jesu – vrlo lako mogu opovrgnuti. Jer i sam zna da „vrlo inteligentan i vrlo obrazovan čovjek“, kako biskupa Ratka opisuje Maksimov, vodi vlastiti dnevnik ali i institucija u kojoj služi. Polazeći od pretpostavke da katolički biskup često putuje u Rim – konkretno u Vatikan, a pogotovo mostarski biskup, on napamet nabraja godine susreta u Rimu od 2000. do 2008. godine. Za ovaj put recimo samo ovo: Od nabrojenih godina, biskup Ratko, u dvije godine nije uopće išao u Rim! Pa i zato što je „hercegovački slučaj“ bio načelno riješen već 2000. godine! A u kojim to godinama msgr. Perić nije bio u Rimu, ostavit ćemo za sebe sve do trenutka kada Maksimov smogne generalske hrabrosti, kao što ima difamatorske smionosti, te umjesto pred kamere bez dokumenata, stane pred biskupa s dokumentima, a na što ga je biskup javno pozvao u osvrtu „Filmske klevete“. General se, osvježene memorije, u najnovijem filmskom poslu vrlo dobro sjeća imena, datuma, mjesta i tema susreta s predstavnicima Vatikana, ali i „drugovima“ iz jugoslavenske službe. No identitet „zajedničkoga prijatelja“ koji je kroz cijelo vrijeme bio kontakt osoba – posrednik i ugovaratelj susreta s rektorom i biskupom Ratkom, ne otkriva. Vjerujemo da nikomu tko u ovom svemu želi doći do istine nije jasno zašto general skriva datume, dokumente i identitet ključne osobe. Svojom riječju posijao je nemalo zlo. Od čovjeka koji za svoju službu, a onda dakako i za sebe, tvrdi da nije „zloglasna“ i da „nikada ne laže“, nakon naše kvalifikacije da je sav njegov govor Bogu mrska kleveta, najmanje što bi se očekivalo jest to da na svjetlo dana iznese dokumentaciju na osnovi koje govori i da pozove svjedoke. Na pitanje novinarke: Jeste li ga možda nečim ucijenili ili prisilili da s Vama surađuje?, General odgovara: „Mi ga nismo ničim ucijenili, on je s nama ušao u 'posao' koji mu nitko drugi ne bi mogao obaviti. U to ga je uvjerio svećenik iz Rima koji nas je s njim spojio. Nikakva ucjena, samo čisti posao.“ A taj „čisti posao“, kako smo već ranije pisali, prema generalovim tvrdnjama, sastojao se u tomu: Vi uništite fratre u Hercegovini, a ja ću Međugorje. Kako se „posao“ obavljao do 1989. već smo odgovorili u prethodnom osvrtu. No, ono što upada u oči, jest činjenica da od posljednjega „susreta“ 1989. do 2000. godine nema nikakva kontakta. A svakom, pa i površnom, poznavatelju prilika u Hercegovini znano je da se upravo u tom vremenu puno toga događalo i što bi se, ako je bilo „suradnje“, još više intenzivirala. Nakon demokratskih promjena, na ovim je prostorima započeo rat koji u najgorem obliku nije mimoišao ni Hercegovinu, a kojemu su svakako kumovale tajne službe, pa i ona u kojoj je visoku dužnost obnašao general Maksimov. Kako to da se moćni general nije zauzeo, ako već nije od rata zaštitio cijelu Hercegovinu, barem spasio biskupski dvor i katedralu, u koju se dugo iščekivani „poslovni partner“ trebao useliti, zarediti i osnažen biskupskim redom „dogovoreno“ provoditi. Kako ga nije „zaštitio“ od nasilna odvođenja iz vlastita stana i sramotna višesatna zadržavanja u svojevrsnu zatočeništvu u mostarskom Cimu 1995. godine?! To bi trebala biti argumentacija za zdravu glavu. Ali se Maksimov ovakvim svojim klevetanjem pozdravio sa zdravom glavom! Stvarnost je naime sasvim drukčija. I prije nego što je posvećen za biskupa (1992.), msgr. Perić, kao i svi drugi, mogao je pročitati „Zadarsku izjavu“ iz travnja 1991. kojom je odbačena nadnaravnost međugorskih događanja. Spomenimo još jednom: Nema ni jednoga dokumenta niti javnoga istupa rektora Perića u kojem bi se moglo razabrati njegovo stajalište o međugorskom fenomenu. A kada se radi o hercegovačkom slučaju, onda se stvar razvijala ovako. Nedugo nakon preuzimanja uprave hercegovačkih biskupija (1993.) biskup je Perić počeo isključivo na crkvenom planu, sukladno Zakoniku i odredbama Svete Stolice, razgovore o provedbi dekreta Romanis Pontificibus iz 1975. I ništa više ni manje od onoga što je Dekretom odlučeno. Razgovori su vođeni bez posredovanja bilo koga izvana; samo osobe i institucije u Crkvi koje su za taj predmet zadužene. I razgovori su se odvijali u Hercegovini i u Vatikanu sve do 2000. godine. Dakle, sve u vremenu kada nema nikakva kontakta između biskupa i generala. Stoga se opravdano pitamo: Ne želi li ovim general Maksimov sugerirati da je izvršio utjecaj na druge strane u crkvenom razgovoru od provincijalne Uprave u Hercegovini preko generalne u Rimu pa sve do Kongregacija Svete Stolice ili, pak, na članove Kapitula Franjevačkoga reda održana 1997. u Asizu gdje je odlučeno da se dekret Romanis Pontificibus mora provesti odmah i u cijelosti, nakon čega se, uz posredovanje generalne Uprave i Kongregacije za evangelizaciju naroda pristupilo konkretnoj provedbi Dekreta, zaključaka i odluka Generalne uprave i Svete Stolice? Kada bismo i na trenutak prihvatili vjerodostojnost Maksimovih tvrdnji, kako onda ne postaviti i pitanje: Ako već biskup Ratko nije ničim ucijenjen nego se radilo samo o „poslu“ na principu „ti meni-ja tebi“, što bi to moglo navesti sve druge zainteresirane da pod pritiskom KGB-a i Udbe popuste pred „nerazumnom mržnjom biskupa Ratka prema franjevcima“? Opasna i otrovna teza koja se i kroz film i intervju provlači, a za koju smatramo da ni sami naručitelji difamatorskoga filmskoga uratka „Od Fatime do Međugorja“ nisu računali. Stoga i smatramo da ovaj napad na mostarske biskupe nije samo napad na njih osobno nego i na Crkvu, ne samo u Hercegovini nego i Opću pa koliko god netko uporno govorio da „dvojica biskupa nisu cijela Crkva“. Zaključak Gospodina su Isusa farizeji dijabolično klevetali da s pomoću sotonske Beelzebulove moći izgoni đavle iz ljudi (Mt 12,25-29). Isus je doista vrlo jednostavno - ali božanskom snagom - izgonio đavle iz ljudi koje bi susretao ili mu ih drugi donosili ili dovodili. Samo nije mogao istjerati đavle iz farizeja koji su sotonskim klevetama bili namjerno opsjednuti griješeći protiv Duha Svetoga. Nije uopće jasno zašto se general Maksimov upustio u akciju nudeći svoju „pomoć“ u rušenju Provincije od dvjestotinjak hercegovačkih fratara umjesto da ljubomorno čuva svoj sovjetski imperijalistički sustav. A on mu se 1989./1990. srušio kao kula od karata! I to možda ponajviše zaslugom pape svetoga Ivana Pavla II. i njegove Svete Stolice, s čijim je službenicima Maksimov - kako se tašto hvali - podržavao veze, eto, dok mu se svemoćni SSSR nije bespomoćno i nepovrativo raspao! U pozdravnom govoru na početku 70.-tog redovitoga zasjedanja Biskupske konferencije BiH, u Banjoj Luci, 13. srpnja ove godine, predsjednik Konferencije, kardinal Puljić, među ostalima je rekao: „Dobro je poznat stari udbaški stil da se unese međusobna podjela i nepovjerenje. Da bi se u tome uspjelo, onda optuže pojedinog biskupa kao suradnika Udbe kao što su to filmom zlobno uradili s pokojnim biskupom mons. Pavlom Žanićem i sadašnjim biskupom u Mostaru mons. Ratkom Perićem. Također pojedini moćnici žele 'ušutkati' i biskupa Franju da ne ukazuje na nepravde pa je u takvom slučaju najlakše optužiti ga. Taktika je starih udbaša prema onoj narodnoj: napad je najbolja obrana.“ No najbolja je obrana istina koju mostarski biskupi uvijek propovijedaju, za nju se bore i za nju su spremni podnijeti i veću žrtvu od zlobnih napada auktora difamatorskih filmskih scenarija, njihovih nalogodavaca i samih aktera. I ovim osvrtom nastojali smo istinom pobiti laži. Ponavljamo još jednom: Nismo toliko naivni da vjerujemo kako ćemo ovakvim pisanjem privesti k Istini beskrupulozne lašce. Želja nam je bila i ostala da poštovane čitatelje, kojih je svijest ovakvom besramnom klevetom uznemirena, vjernički ohrabrimo i pozovemo da uvijek budu uz Istinu koja će nas sve osloboditi.
