Rome's representative, Michael Fitzgerald, in October 2003.

That would be this?

But Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, President of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue which has responsibility for such matters, told The Universe that the fears were unfounded and he reassured devotees that Fatima would definitely remain a place of prayer centred on Our Lady.

“There is no question of the Fatima sanctuary becoming an inter-faith pilgrimage centre,” said the English-born archbishop. “This is a place of prayer centred on Our Lady, and everyone is welcome.” (CWNews: "Rome scotches Fatima multifaith rumours")

Like many of his fellow Roman prelates, Fitzgerald is a two-faced liar.

"Archbishop Fitzgerald said further that he agreed with Father Dupuis that "the unity with God is not confined to the people who belong to the Church". The Church, according to this new union, should not proselytize. Nor is the purpose of dialogue to "convert" the "other" to Catholicism. This is pointless, since members of all religions, according to Dupuis, are already part of the "Reign of God". Rather, "the Church" says Fitzgerald, "is there to recognize the holiness that is in other people, the elements of truth, grace and beauty that are in different religions," and "to try to bring about a greater peace and harmony among people of other religions". Perhaps this Congress should have been called, "Fatima Meets the Age of Aquarius"."
