[B]esides attracting Christian pilgrims, the shrine at Fátima, Portugal, has also attracted Muslims in great numbers.

I'm sorry to hear that.

that they, who show her so much respect, will one day accept her Divine Son, too.”...

As Catholics we pray for this too, however feasible or infeasible it seems.

God doesn’t know infeasible and all things are possible through him.

That does not mean we should not defend ourselves against the current trajectory islam is on.

But as is often the case, I suspect this thread will be used to insult either the blessed Mother, the Priest in the article or the Holy Roman Church.

That is ok. What is important is that we Catholics remain strong in our faith and forgive our enemy, even as we protect ourselves and our loved ones.

Our Lady of Guadalupe also has a connection with muslims. She is standing on a crescent moon. There is also something with the name and a river.

God has a plan and Mary is part of it.

I am not waiting for the chastisement. I believe we are living it now.

I believe this year will unleash a spiritual revival of some kind. Just keep praying and watch God blow our minds. It’s exciting!

All we can do is trust God and pray!

“the Catholic Church recognizes that Muslims honor the Virgin mother of Jesus, Mary, and invoke her with piety”

This is a lie, a theology and religious practice lie.

The Koran and Islam pay lip service to Joseph, Mary and Yeshua, not respect at all for who they are. By not expecting Yeshua as the Christ, they do not respect or revere Mary as “the mother of G-d”.

I believe Muslim’s go to Fatima NOT because they revere Mary the mother of Yeshua/Christ/G-d because they believe “the lady of Fatima” was a heavenly Islamic offering from G-d.

Christians attempting to write their own “ecumenical” meaning into “our Lady of Fatima” as speaking in a Christian way to Muslims are doing just that - making up their own “ecumenical” interpretation.
