"Fatima" was the appearance of Mary. It wasn't her first or second appearance.
Did you ever hear of the Miracle of Guadalupe in Mexico? The bishop who heard of the miracle told the peasant to get "proof" from Mary. The peasant produced the "proof" and thus the miracle was accepted. It happened in 1531, NOT so very long ago.
Demonic apparitions aren't "nice" visits. Those visits from Mary are.
I like how Mormons are easily seem as nutty for thinking Jesus spent time in America with the Indians. Yet, without batting an eye, I’m supposed to believe that Mary popped in to check out the Indians down in Mexico?
Same exact scam, same exact reason.
What was the "proof" ?
