What Padre Pio wrote has nothing to do with our discussion on Fatima.

OK. So we can only use your quotes. Got it.

You call the 1900 years of saints quotes “fatalistic”,

There you go putting words in my mouth again. What I said was I do not subscribe to your fatalistic attitude.

and you quote Padre Pio as if he’s saying “don’t worry be happy”. Worry, in the sense that Padre Pio is saying, is called despair, which is a sin against hope.

There you go speculating again. I quoted Padre Pio in the sense If you remain in a state of grace and have an active prayer life, the troubles of the world wouldn’t worry you so much. As a matter of fact, if everybody took this advice to heart and acted on it, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. That is the difference betweeen my outlook and yours.

However, in the sense that you take it, “the saints were fatalistic” (you said it!),

You need to stop speculating, I did not say that, I said you were.

and for you we have to not let anything disturb our sleep through life (like the 1960’s hippies, “smoke a joint man, and it’’l pass, peace, man”.

Your mind reading skills are terrible

God wants EVERYONE to know that a miracle has occurred. The conversion "happening over a long time line" (1984 to 2010++++) will not convince anyone that it was caused by a "consecration" in 1984.

Is this an infallible pronouncement or just your opinion?

God did not waste the greatest miracle in the history of mankind, Fatima, for no one to notice.

I never said the miracle was wasted nor did I say no one will notice. God works in mysterious ways. You act as if you wrote the script.
