If you take a closer look at the photo. It is not Macy's. It is
Holy Name Cathedral complex in Chicago, Illinois in 1958.

Sorry, I didn't see any sign identifying the building. But I did notice a 1956 Chevy waiting at the intersection, and what appears to be a traffic cop directing traffic. No signal seems to be there. So this must have been a day with unusually heavy traffic - maybe lots of people trying to get to the church?

Okay, so do you have a date, or can you say what the event was they were lining up for?

There's a rain canopy in front of the church for distinguished arrivals - did some high profile visitors show up in limos that day?

And instead, since the Secret has not been released, those would be Mohammedan refugees preparing to occupy the streets for "prayer time".

In Ireland, the queues on Sunday mornings are for SHOPPING CENTRES. I swear to God, we have to leave our house earlier for Mass now due to traffic going to shop in what I call the new Cathedral; Stillorgan Shopping Centre.

You know, cassini, I was going to say that those people crowding the sidewalk in RC53's photo were waiting in line to get into Macy's, but the Mohammedan refugee theme seemed more current.

Our Lady of La Salette warned that working and shopping on Sunday is offensive to God. That's one of the reasons she was crying.

Yes RomanCatholic, I noted the line of people led to the Cathedral's entrance. I lived at a time when Catholics crowded to Mass on Sundays from every corner of the parish and when some had to listen outside because our huge church was full. Today, on Sunday mornings the crowds queue for other things like shops to open or football matches, or heading to the beach. we did all these things too, but not on Sunday mornings. They were reserved for Mass.

I just used the photo as an illustration what your local parish lines
to the confessional would look like if the Third Secret of our Lady
of Fatima was read to the Catholic World by the Pope of 1960.

It is actually the open casket viewing of the very popular and
respected Cardinal Samuel Stritch who died in 1958.

The complex contained the Cathedral, the rectory of the
Cardinal and Bishops, rectory of the teaching Priests., and
a Convent for the teaching Nuns.

The following photo is the inside of the Church during the
viewing.

Sorry, the photography was not so good at that time.

Here is a photo of Cardinal Samuel Stritch praying the Rosary in
public.
Cardinal Francis McIntyre of Los Angeles said the three decades of the
Rosary every May at a filled Los Angeles Coliseum that lasted to the
years of Vatican 2 when it ended.

I find it curious that the secret of Melanie Calvat given by Our Lady at LaSalette, which was revealed publicly in 1879 with the Imprimatur of Bishop Lecce, and which was generally approved of by three Popes, was similarly persecuted (or distorted if you will). Melanie's account was challenged so violently by the freemasons, in the attempt to discredit her and the very serious message of Our Lady, that even today some traditional Catholics who believe in the remainder of LaSalette, won't touch the secret with a 10-foot pole. Their choice.

I believe the apparitions are related, and I had forgotten about the timeliness of Knock to LaSalette. I will continue to study it.
