You missed a few points:
#1. The miracle of the sun, predicted in advance and witnessed by 70,000 people, was the most spectacular prodigy since Pentecost. This really does not need approval by the Church. If devils can work signs like that, I for one, would raise a white flag. Heroic Francesco, who had more common sense than all the Popes since Gregory XVI, and Little Jacinta, who had more sanctity than anybody in the 20th Century with the possible exception of Padre Pio, were canonized by Our Lady in 1917. Glad to see what is left of Holy Mother Church finally got around to acknowledging that fact. We can only hope it is a portent of things to come, but I would sooner expect white wolves to start intoning Gregorian chants than for pope frantic to do anything Catholic, but there are such things as miracles.
#2. Our Lady said that in order to save souls, God requested devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. This was not given to us by the Pope of Catholic Inaction, Pius XI, or the Roosevelt's Pope, Pius XII, or Good Pope John, and, of course, it's all downhill from there. Our Lady is not optional. Our Lady is the Daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son, and the Spouse of The Holy Ghost. Whatever we can imagine God to be, the reality of Our Lady is greater. (I am not saying Our Lady is God, to all you peabrains out there.
.)
#3. Our Lady asked us to make the five first Saturdays in reparation for blasphemy, to offer our daily duties up to God, and above all, to say our Rosary daily.
#4. Our Lady warned that "various nations will be annihilated. Various sounds like more than a few rinky-dink blotches of real estate college students could not find on a map, like Socotra. Various nations probably has the USA, originator of 85% of the world's pornography, at the top of the list.
#5. Jacinta saw "all those roads and fields full of people, crying because they had nothing to eat.." Some say this was the French fleeing Hitler's armies or the Ukraine under Stalin. I think this is a coming attraction for the world, of which Greece, Libya, and Venezuela are sneak previews. World crops are being decimated by "solar radiation management", the oceans are dying, with floods of dead fish washing up on beaches almost daily.
#6. Our Lady said the world would be punished by war, famine, and persecutions of the Holy Father...
The bottom line here is that Fatima is not optional. "
Father, the Blessed Virgin is very sad because no one has paid attention to her Message, neither the good nor the bad. The good, because they continue on the road of goodness, but without paying mind to this Message. The bad, because of their sins, do not see God’s chastisement already falling on them presently; they also continue on their path of badness, ignoring the Message. But, Father, you must believe me that God is going to punish the world and chastise it in a tremendous way. "The above is a quote from Sr Lucia's interview with Fr Augustine Fuentes, before she was murdered in 1958 or '59...The sea is rising inch by inch, rain bombs are becoming more frequent...And don't even get me started on the fact that WW1 was a dog-and-pony show with the only lasting result that the last Catholic monarchy, the Hapsburgs, was destroyed (not that Franz Josef didn't ask for it, but that's a whole 'nother story...).(But some people still really do believe the Zimmerman note was authentic. They really do believe that a nation that could not get its navy toys past the British blockade was going to steam to Mexico in battleships that could not have made it half way across the Atlantic and deliver an army that was going to invade Texas. And of course Zimmerman could not fly directly to Mexico City but had to stop in New York, and of course the papers were written in English even though German's speak German and Mexicans speak Spanish. Of course, 50% of Americans would... no, I'm not going to say it.)Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us, you are our only hope.
