I speak Portuguese. I received an e-mail audio that may have come from this. I cannot verify authenticity only to say it was an older Portuguese woman with an accent from the countryside. The woman speaking was clear that Pope John Paul II's effort did not succeed because of failure on the part of the bishops, not the Pope's failure. Whether or not this is Sr. Lucia (Luzia) is anyone's guess. I am working on finding out more about this video. I have sent e-mails to friends in Siena who may have seen it. I will let you know what I find out from them.

Whatever the clip is, it's gotta be old - Sr. Lucia is pretty old to be standing in a crowd of people - think she's in her 90s? And I thought she was in a cloistered convent?

Breathlessly awaiting whatever you can find out.
