At least 70,000 people at Fatima witnessed the Miracle of the Sun, which lasted far longer and was more terrifying than as depicted in the 1953 film. Everyone within about 30 miles of Fatima witnessed it also. All testified that it appeared that the Sun was about to collide with and consume the Earth.

Our Lady of Fatima did wonderous things to me in 2007.

Watched this guy regularly in the 50s. Always wondered why he never was bumped up to archbishop and Cardinal status. He was definitely both 100% Catholic doctrine and likable by the public....I suppose being likeable was his problem.
As a kid in Catholic School we were told of the miracle of Fatima but the secrets were kept secret. The Dominican Sisters all had their theories, mostly involving the upcoming judgement day.

I don’t know if it was real....or a phenomena of nature and weather and 70000 ignorant Portuguese peasants staring into the sun (not a good practice).

There was a Lourdes shrine somehow transplanted in the NY metro area....we went there when my sister was dying of leukemia in the late 50s. Seems they transplanted some of the Lourdes water from France and folks with ailments went there for the cure. There were racks of crutches and wheel chairs etc, supposedly left by cured people. My sister took the water....my sister died within the year as the doctors couldn’t perform the cure either.

Calling me a skeptic would be an understatement ( skeptical of miracles....and divine intervention....not Gods existence)
