Many people were converted to the Christian Faith because of Fatima.

Maybe.

For someone to attribute Fatima to the work of satan is NO different than the Pharisees attributing Christ;s miracles to the work of satan.

Yes, it is different. There's a world of difference.

Jesus is God Himself, come in the flesh. He made no secret of that. For someone to claim (or accuse) Him of being filled with Satan and doing His works through the demonic power is blasphemy and calling Him a liar.

To question an apparition that is supposedly of Mary, is not the same as saying that Jesus was doing His works by Satan's power. Mary is not God and there's not even any real proof that what people saw WAS her. If Satan can appear as an angel of light to deceive, then it has to be considered that any visions or apparitions are suspect which is a far cry from accusing the living, breathing,Son of God of being demon possessed.

All GOOD things come from Christ! what part of that do you NOT understand?

Satan can counterfeit miracles. What don't you get about that? Matthew 7:21-23 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

EXCELLENT FACTUAL POINTS.

Of course, as we’ve repeatedly seen, some folks are not interested in, nor influenced by facts or truth.

THX THX.

The essential message of fatima is praying and sacrificing for the conversion of people in the world and people to turn away from sin

How is that ANYONE could possibly even try to say this is the work of the devil?Are you going to say the devil wants people to turn away from sin ? Ludicrous!

Denying the goodness of fatima is NO different than what the pharisee's did in calling good evil.

Do you both need to be reminded that ALL GOOD THINGS COME FROM CHRIST!
