  • I believe it flows from the fact that the crisis, in the world and in the Church, is as prolonged as it is.  People are simply tired, IMO.

  • Disbelieving the apparitions at Fatima doesn't make you a heretic. Disbelieving any or even all private revelations is a choice that any Catholic is free to make. Why beat the Fatima bush when there are issues of dogma which should come first.

  • Ditto
    There Is No Such Thing As 'Sede Vacantism'...
    nor is there such thing as a 'Feeneyite' or 'Feeneyism'

  • Come on,
    This is the very first I heard anyone calling Fatima a Hoax.
    What did all those people see in the sky that was confirmed
    by the atheist O Secula Newspaper. To many witnesses
    to confirmed the reality of Fatima.

  • Whether or not its a hoax is absolutely irrelevant as far as my salvation is concerned.

    What troubles me far more than the Fatima revisionists is the large number of Catholics who seem to have it drilled into their heads that Fatima is an article of Faith, and feel justified in forcing private revelations on everyone. Private revelations do not bind the conscience.

    have no idea about the rant on angels and the BVM dressing-first I heard of that story.....yes, Portugal is no better, hence the "portugal retaining Dogma of Faith" bit is rather hard to beleieve for me, rest of it, ofcourse I beleive.....as far as pagan statues,etc.....blame that on the NO Church and the rector......if one put said statue on a bible, does that then negate the bible?

  • The idea of a Fatima Hoax is particularly appealing to converts who went directly to sede vacantism.  They lack the history of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the deep devotion.
