Are you sure it's "private revelation"?

I guess we can just wait to see how the One True Church and it’s Most High Leader reacts to Clintons VP choice being OK with tax money going to abortion on demand.

One would expect that members of the One True Church would be outraged and one would expect that Fatima would be sending our messages of condemnation but I’m not holding my breath. And I don’t think ealgeone is either but hopefully I’m wrong.

Yes, Fatima is a "private revelation" --- by definition, All "public revelation" ceased with the death of the last Apostle.

Nothing "new" is revealed in "private revelation" that is necessary for salvation.

Of the thousands of reported Maran visions/messages over the centuries, for instance, only about eleven have received approval from the relevant Vatican offices, and that is simply the outcome of investigation which has, to the best of anybody's ability, ruled out fraud, psychosis, or other natural causes.

Nobody --- not even the personal recipient of a reputed "private revelation" --- is obliged de fide to believe in a private revelation.

And it's considered "private" even if it was seen by 70,000 people, as at the "Miracle of the Sun" at Fatima, Portugal in 1917

You're welcome.
