America Needs Fatima? I know all those words, but the phrase doesn't make sense.

America Needs Fatima is a campaign of a Catholic organization called the American TFP (Tradition, Family, Property). Its mission is to spread the message of the apparitions in Fatima in 1917.

Here is an article about the group. The author refers to them as a cult.

From Dictionary.com

Fatima:
Daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. She married Ali, among the first to embrace Islam, and is regarded by Muslims as one of the Four Perfect Women.

Was Fatima one of the daughters he had with the 9-year-old that he married?
