Indeed. If one's source cannot give a reliable account of the witnesses, what else are we to find reliable about its account?

In consequence of her experiences at Fatima, Lúcia Santos consecrated her life to the service of Jesus Christ as a Discalced Carmelite nun. She lived a very long time, IIRC.

Also IIRC, either one or both of her cousins — Jacinta and Francisco Marto — died before attaining adulthood.

Whatever. The three witnesses were not three sisters.

The research was great.

I don’t carry a lot of details around in my head that some part of me considers petty.

It appears that I frequently carry far more details around in my head than a lot of folks hereon seem to . . . however, that’s far from everything on a given topic.
