bluntly — I don’t have any opinion on Fatima or Medjugorje. As a Catholic, these are personal revelations — if they are true, good. If they help people find God, good. Beyond that, I’m not interested in them. It’s the same with talking in tongues. It can happen, just like other miracles, but it is additional to my faith and I don’t go seeking them out. If one person wants to believe these above the basic gospel, ok, that’s their choice, I’m not going to be like the OPC and attack you for that.
I'm basically with you there, dear brother in Christ!
And yet I notice that the truth of the matter does not depend on whether we are interested in the "problem" of Fatima and Medjugorje or not. Neither does "opinion" matter, should it diverge from divine Truth....
Fatima and Mudjegorge were (IMHO) totally unique events, definitely not part of the normal or regular pattern of Nature.
But this does not make Fatima and Mudjegorge "fictions." At least, not in my book.
