Matthew-
I'm about as connected as anyone else in the Resistance, and I recall being surprised to read on Cathinfo about some Resistance pilgrimage to Fatima, which I didn't know about until after it was over.
...It makes no difference that I personally would not have been able to go.
I say it makes all the difference in the world. You don't hang around Trads who do lots of traveling. You don't frequent Catholic travel blogs or talk on online forums about travel. You failed to seek out information about upcoming pilgrimages because frankly you aren't interested. It's no accident that this event passed you by without notice. The hard facts are:
you are not interested in attending such events. See? No harm, no foul.
You are not a casualty; you said yourself you wouldn't have been able to attend. Sounds like everything is working as designed to me!
As for the hypothetical Portuguese businessman, etc., I repeat what I said above: they simply don't exist. I have no evidence that they exist. You have put forward no such evidence. Normally believing in things unseen requires faith. But in this case, Faith tells me that they probably don't exist, since God provides :)
