As usual, Archbishop Sheen displays a keen insight that few of his contemporaries could match. Prophetic.

Excellent piece.

America sorely needs a prelate of his spirituality and stature today.

For those who want to donate money in response to 9/11 and the ongoing threat to our civilization by mohammedism, supporting Christian missionaries is an excellent idea.

"........ the daughter of Mohammed himself.

But after the death of Fatima, Mohammed wrote: Thou shalt be the most blessed of all the women in Paradise, after Mary.

In a variant of the text, Fatima is made to say, I surpass all the women, except Mary."

And what would Mohammed have to say about the treatment of his daughter in the current scheme of things in the Moslem world....

[lodwick]

Great post, thank you!

[Aquinasfan]

Fatima happens to be my favorite Marian apparition. But I had no idea that Fatima was Mohammed's daughter's name. Wow.

Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world power.

Archbishop Sheen was a very wise man.

[Marysecretary]

Such insight. But Mary won't have anything to do with it, IMHO. The Holy Spirit will be coming through and it will be Christ they see, not Mary. Praise God.

[annalex]

Wow.

Thank you for posting this, and for the bump. I didn't know about the Muslim significance of Fatima.

As long as a heresy allows the heretic to better contemplate God from his unique vantage point, the heresy will persist. We do notice conversion of Muslims, not to Christianity, but to secularism. This secularization is seen, not incorrectly, by some Muslim thinkers as westernization, and we have this war on the Western civilization as a result. Why secularism brings a Muslim closer to God? Because it reminds him of the loving and forgiving nature of God, that smiles at our petty philistinism. This aspect of God is nearly completely hidden from view in Islam.

"May Saint John Baptist protect Islam and all the people of Jordan" - John Paul II

"Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has taken public exception to a statement by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who caused an uproar in Italy by saying that Western culture is superior to Islam. 'One cannot speak of the superiority of one culture over another, because history has shown that a society can change from one age to another,' the cardinal remarked, speaking to the Italian daily La Repubblica.

Powerful P E A C E! We have much to look forward to.

In the sense that she will not accept any devotion for herself, but will always bring anyone who is devoted to her, to her divine Son.

Our Lady of Fatima Bump!!

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Great article! I had never made the Fatima connection between Our Lady and Islam.

At the present time, the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming a hatred against Christianity itself.

Hmmmm...fifty years later and we still have not realized the peril.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I had the pleasure of seeing Fr. Corapi last year. He was talking about Our Lady and her victories. He said (reverently of course) "your momma wears combat boots."

[Kermit the Frog Does theWatusi]

Interesting. Has anyone pinned down or verified the latest story about Sr. Lucia? Is is true that she has commented on the current terrorism, relating it to the prophetic message?

[Dumb_Ox]

If I remember my history, Fatima, Portugal is named for a muslim princess who converted to Christianity and married a local nobleman. Upon her death, her husband endowed the lands with her name.

[mostlyundecided]

Excellent, I am passing it on to my friends...this is an interesting part of the Fatima story I have never heard...

[BADROTOFINGER]

Bump for later...JFK
