“How come those Bible people didn’t go to a psychic like most people instead of waiting around for a prophet?”
Fatima Dissension
Posted by william on May 16th, 2009
One of the couples in our Scripture Readings discussion group showed a documentary last night from one of the outfits that allege that ‘the Vatican’ has been less than honest about disclosing the ‘Third Secret’ Mary told the children at Fatima. The inference is that the secret dealt with evils among the hierarchy and that’s why it is not being revealed. Additionally, some issues are raised about the Church having not properly carried out the instructions of Our lady regarding praying for the conversion of Russia. It is implied that such malfeasance by the Church is going to bring down God’s wrath and some kind of cosmic disaster upon the world. The folks at Catholic answers don’t seem to buy this line of thinking, nor does Fr. Ed on the Living Your Life Abundantly program on EWTN. I hope all this gets thrashed out sooner rather than later. Everyone seems to agree that the thing Catholics ought to do is pray the Rosary and honor the First Saturdays devotion, so I hope that at the least this kind of ‘holier than the Pope’ proclamation gets more people doing so.
