Our Lady of Kibeho and the Rwandan Genocide - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World

[@maureenbanks3702]

Poor Marie Claire... the "bully" turned holy lost her life in the genocide! She is a martyr in my opinion. Her conversion story is beautiful. Powerful. Thank you for your show. Very interesting.

[@johnlynch-kv8mz]

She was a bully? So was I. She gave me the seven sorrows. I weep for her, usually now in joy, yet also sorrow … for what she went thru. That rosary saved my life. It still does

[@sliglusamelius8578]

Segatsahya also died in the genocide.

[@ericgatera7149]

Thank you Jimmy for this informative video. Allow me to make a nuanced correction though, speaking as a Rwandan. In minutes 16:43, the question was asked, "who was doing the killing?" refering to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, you answered "both side". Actually your answer may lead people to misunderstand what was actually happening. The killing were done (performed) by the 'hutu extremists' (mostly Interahamwe) against 'Tutsi' and 'sympathetic hutu' who were protecting 'Tutsi', hence the name "Genocide against Tutsi" and not the Rwandan genocide (which may lead people to miss the point on who were the targeted victims for extermination, which was 'Tutsi' specifically and not the Rwandans in general). Beside this thorny point, i love your presentation and summary conclusion. Thank you.

[@victory2213]

Good point!

[@MeanBeanComedy]

Thank you. 🙏🏻🙌🏻 We need to always tell the truth and avoid mistakes with issues like this. It's HARD to not hate the Hutu, the more I learn about this. I've befriended a few, and it's helped me mellow out a bit.

[@johnlynch-kv8mz]

Thank you for the distinction. Let peace and reconciliation ( if possible) reign in Rwanda.

[@marijusp]

Hi Jimmy, I suggest you to consider mysterious place from Lithuania - Hill of Crosses. It is quite a remarkable Catholic holy place. There are various legends and tales about this place, including haunting and stories about unexpected deaths of people involved in attempts to destroy this holly place in the times of Soviet occupation.

[@tryingnottobeasmartass757]

(If you read my feedback on the podcast, I suggest referring to me as He Who Must Not Be Named On A Family Podcast) I enjoy listening to Mysterious World every week. The episodes on Marian apparitions are among my favorite. I'm Eastern Orthodox, but currently attend my local Catholic parish because I cannot get to my Orthodox one. Your explanations help me better understand what the Catholic Church believes and doesn't believe about apparitions, and I appreciate then you are frank about the facts, and thus frankly state why an unapproved apparition is unapproved. You handled the Fatima matter well, so that your explanation was not offensive to Eastern Orthodox Christians, many of whom resent the way Catholics generally present Fatima, forgetting that the Eastern Orthodox have been there the whole time and suffered under Russian Communism. Let us pray earnestly for the reunion of our Churches. P.S. We need a complete list of every book Jimmy Akin owns. I need more suggestions for my library, even though I already own slightly over 4,000 physical books plus 7500-ish ebooks and audiobooks (there is some overlap, since I own some titles in two or all of those forms).

This was fascinating to me, I had never studied this Apparition. My children and I pray the rosary together and we've spoken often about different apparitions, which I think help to reinforce our faith and let us know that God binds us together as one united family in the body of Christ. The visions in this one to me were reminiscent of Our Lady of Fatima. Thank you Dom and Jimmy, your continuing efforts are appreciated by us reverts and converts, showing us depths to our faith that are often neglected. Godspeed and God bless 🙏

[@mercyalumnae7090]

Jimmy and Dom-- This was one of your best-ever episodes and definitely my favorite 2nd part. I read "Our Lady of Kibeho" between the two episodes and I can't tell you how important your perspective was in putting the book in context. It's yet another reminder that getting more than one source on important and complex matters is vital! I felt uncomfortable when, while reading the book, the author told her cheating boyfriend that he needed to "apologize to Mary" and then, as an afterthought, "apologize to God," but she never really mentioned Confession. That moment, plus your extremely valuable information about the non-approved seers, reminded me that just because information is coming from an ardent Catholic who means well, it's not exempt from critical thinking. Thanks again!

[@brookekennel2636]

Excellent pair of episodes! I've been curious about Our Lady of Kibeho for some time but haven't gotten around to reading Immaculee Ilibagiza's book. It's a really fascinating story. I especially found it touching that Marie Claire, who died in the genocide, had her life completely transformed by her encounter with Our Lady. Also, since today's episode is about a Marian apparition...Happy Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes! I'm curious how many other appearances you plan on covering in future episodes. My favorite is Our Lady of Guadalupe and I would love to hear Jimmy's take on the tilma. I sympathize deeply with Ian regarding his struggles with Genesis. That was me for so many years. I have a lot more peace about it now, but I think that if I had not become Catholic, I could easily have become disillusioned with my faith because of those questions.

[@matthewwhittaker478]

[@Wildwest89]

I am also former PCA now Catholic, and I came from a young earth only background. I was afraid it undermined the rest of the Bible if you started interpreting portions of Genesis as not being literal facts. That problem goes away when you have a magisterium guided by the Holy Spirit interpreting the meaning of the Sacred Scriptures instead of it being up to the individual.

[@brookekennel2636]

I had a similar experience. I was taught young earth creationism in my super conservative Baptist middle school, and it was heavily implied to me that Christianity stood or fell on the issue. I was afraid that I would end up jettisoning the bulk of the Bible if I "compromised" on Genesis. It was not until I became Catholic and had the guardrails of the magisterium that I felt safe enough to reevaluate what I had been taught in the light of reason.

[@SteveC-Aus]

Excellent episode Jimmy, God bless you and peace be with you!

[@fishman6660]

I love love loved the comparison to parables when Jesus and the authors of the New Testament are speaking about it, especially, the first 11 chapters of Genesis. Puts things, once again, in better perspective. I'm becoming more and more convinced that Jimmy is a time lord. Just to have the time to research all of these topics is amazing! Jimmy and Dom, keep up the excellent work, and G-D bless!

I do wonder about most visionaries being women (at Lourdes, Fatima, Kibeho, etc. etc.). Maybe you can discuss this sometime.

[@brookekennel2636]

I think there have historically been quite a few men as well. In Scripture, both St. Paul and St. John had visions. St. Augustine and his mother shared a vision at Ostia. I'm pretty sure some of the male mystics of the Middle Ages such as St. Bernard of Clairvaux also had visions.

Is there a parallel or correlation between the apparitions of medjugorje yugoslavia and that of Kibeho? Yougoslavia fell into chaos after the death of dictator Tito. The six children who had a vision of the Virgin Mary were also told of the upcoming war. Like the visionaries of Kibeho, these apparitions began in the 1980s. Do you see any similarities? Just curious! Thanks for your informative posting. Much appreciated!

"the goal of a demon is to pull people away from God" like towards Mary rather than Jesus himself? While I appreciate the refocus on Jesus around the 51 minute mark, It seems even the need for the correction in the first place seems to agree that there is a danger in over elevating Mary due to these visions.

[@CedanyTheAlaskan]

There is a risk that Christians can end of worshipping Mary. That is a legitimate concern, however I don't think these apparitions and devotions do this. They are here to give us another tool in our tool box if you'd like. A way to come closer to Christ, by knowing the one who gave birth to Him, His mother.

[@ghugha9610]

Great documentary. But please do not omit important facts. Ethnic tensions were not baseless. During colonial rule, both Germans and Belgians brought in racial theories and classified the Tutsis as being genetically superior to the Hutus. Before then Hutus and Tutsis had been coexisting without any genocide. The system brought in by the colonial authorities created a strong discriminatory system in favour of Tutsis against Hutus and helped fuel the ethnic tensions. After independence, as the Hutu majority took power, they saw it as an opportunity for revenge and Tutsis started being targeted even at that time but on a low scale. Sadly it culminated in a genocide in 1994. The US could have played a role in stopping the genocide by jamming the antennas of Radio Mille Collines which propagated the genocide agenda, by flying a jet over it. It would have costed 8000 USD per flight hour and that was too expensive for America to save 1000000 lives. The Church in America did nothing even though being aware of these.
