Sister Lucy hasn't spoken publicly since 1985. THAT is a FACT.

And she is Portuguese, not Spanish. I don't know why you think her N.O. funeral would be in Spanish.

I find it most interesting that certain persons here have studiously avoided the other threads on the passing of Sr. Lucia - while posting elswhere on FR. These persons did not even have the Christian charity to post their sorrow at her passing - or say that they would pray for her, as is the duty of a good Catholic.

Yet, now they have surfaced, seemingly to ridicule yourself, and any other poster who a) is a traditionalist, and/or b) holds an opinion about the messages of Fatima which is contrary to the "company line".

Funny - these very same persons will repeatedly maintain that the messages of Fatima (or any apparitions) are not part of revelation, nor the Deposit of Faith. They will also state that the contents of those apparitions which are approved as being "worthy of belief", are not binding upon the faithful.

I have never known of a Marian apparition whose message and purpose became a virtual "policy statement" from the Vatican. According to our previously absent posters, such interpretations were to be considered "private musings".

Now it would seem that if you dare to muse, you must do it in the approved manner, and always reach the same, approved PC conclusion.

But, I will state my own "musing": the messages of Fatima (and specifically the Third Secret)are one and the same with the messages of Akita. On this we have the word of the Blessed Virgin herself..........as well as teh head of the CDF, Cardinal Ratzinger. That is a big clue.
