THE LADY OF FATIMA- Introduction Some Roman Catholics believe that Mary, the mother of Christ, has actually appeared to people in places like Fatima and Medjugorje. Well, did she?
THE LADY OF FATIMA- Biblical? In evaluating the alleged appearances of Mary, our primary concern would be to determine whether these apparitions are indeed biblical. Interestingly enough, these “Marian apparitions” (as they are commonly referred to) are inextricably woven together with the official Catholic teachings about Mary which, by the way, is known as Mariology. In fact, it would be fair to say that Catholic Mariology is the very foundation of Marian apparitions. It’s been well said that a structure is only as solid as its foundation; and in looking at Marian apparitions, we need to examine the integrity of this whole concept referred to as Catholic Mariology.

I don’t know why you insist on trying to post a viewpoint about a Catholic subject when it seems you could use a little bit more background understanding.

Some people say the Third Secret has not been fully made public due to its content on the end of the world.
Lucia herself is reported to have explicitly stated that the Third Secret contains Apocalyptic content. According to one source, when Lucia was asked about the Third Secret, she said it was “in the Gospel and in the Apocalypse”, and at one point she had even specified Apocalypse chapters 8 to 13, a range that includes Apocalypse 12:4/
I tend to think that too. Part of it, as I understand it, showed a man in white (the Pope) with a lot of dead bodies around him. He was climbing a hill.
Many have said that the picture represented the attempted assasination of Pope John Paul II.
There just seems to be more than we really know right now.
BTW, the message of Fatima to the three children — Pray the Rosary daily for peace. Very simple message.
Why is it that so many people who claim not to believe in the authority of the Catholic Church cling to the writings that were produced by members of the Catholic Church, used in the liturgy of the Catholic Church, collected by the Catholic Church, and defined by the Catholic Church to be inspired and inerrant?
But the last Pope is supposed to be a fraudulent Pope, even anti-Pope.
I have even deeper and much more complicated questions.
Yes. We are still heading to the end times.
