If you see "PENGUINHUMOR," that's me. But it's not really applicable here.
I do have to agree with those who've pointed out that the article has been "overtaken by events," as they say in journalism.
Dear Tax-chick,
I have read your latest comment. However, this article simply asks the question whether 2004 will see an era of peace as predicted by Our Lady.
As, far as I can understand it does not say with total certainty that there will be peace.
I would also like to state for the record that "Man" is ultimately in charge of his destiny even Father Altier would not have any dispute with that.
For Eg- The War in Iraq, The Destruction caused by Katrina, etc.
All we can do is pray specially with Divine Mercy Sunday coming up in a few weeks.
I guess you are a Catholic.
