Mass hypnotism of the fools.

perhaps.
but at least that caused less damage than the billions wasted over the man-made global warming hysteria...
or many other things that millions believe, in contradiction of actual facts.

...and I will keep my harmless faith. because sometimes, in a cruel and uncertain world, it is nice to believe in a loving God, who occasionally reminds us, He is still there.

Mass hypnotism of the fools.

For one who bandies about the word 'fool' so easily, you would expect a bit more research...

If you would be so kind as to actually read the facts surrounding the event you might realize that many of the records that day were taken by journalists who worked for quite liberal anticlerical news papers. Hardly susceptible to 'hypnosis' by religious types now are they?

Paraphrasing one of those journalists he said he could only report what he saw, but its interpretation he left to science or church. So something certainly did happen, but what it means is left to you, even the Church follows this principle, you are not required to accept Fatima as a miracle, but may do so if you believe so.

So to try and explain it through mass hypnosis.. is well.. quite foolish...
