( 1 ) I don't reject Fatima, I question the secrets of Tuy which are not approved.
In the case of La Salette, we see an example where there is an approved apparition, but where the seer was later considered by the Church itself to have become untrustworthy and whose writings were banned.
To say it couldn't happen to Lucia, especially when there are so many questions about the secrets, and when the Church is was in crisis, is what strikes me as... Sentimental.
I'm not making any claims, I'm not saying the secrets are fake, I'm merely asking pointed questions in the DESIRE to believe in these secrets. But I cannot just force myself to believe, it has to hit me.
I can tell you this, I fear for my soul, like I might be lacking some grace by not believing in these secrets. It doesn't help me when I'm asking questions about things that genuinely trouble me, and instead of answers, I get hysteria.
( 2 ) Very few sedevacantists question ( the secrets of ) Fatima. This is a cheap shot, trying to use my doubts about this against sedes as a whole.
If it is devotion to Fatima that you want, CMRI would be a better option for you than SSPX. Bishop Schuckardt of CMRI was in the Blue Army before founding the CMRI, he founded a group called the Fatima Crusade, and that is presumably why their nuns to this day wear blue habits. They are extremely devoted to Fatima. In my confirmation class, they teach it as if it's an article of the faith. My opinion is no more popular there than it is here, probably less so.
However, that is also where I have noticed a connection between a certain Cold War, pro-American mentality and the "consecration of Russia," which isn't very appealing to me, to say the least ( Fatima seems to be used to blind people about the true nature of America and to paint Russia alone as the evil empire ). However, I can make the distinction now between a possible misapplication of the Fatima secrets and their real content, if there is any.
