Because it happened doesn't mean it is the Truth. The message of the apparition must be measured against the Word. When done so it is found to be a false message.

Part of the Fatima message:

"The second reason is because She said to my cousins as well as to myself, that God is giving two last remedies to the world. They are the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are the last two remedies which signify that there will be no others.

"The third reason is because in the plans of Divine Providence, God always, before He is about to chastise the world, exhausts all other remedies. Now, when He sees that the world pays no attention whatsoever then, as we say in our imperfect manner of speaking, He offers us with a certain trepidation the last means of salvation, His Most Holy Mother.

The Bible makes it clear that our salvation is only through Christ.

There is no other way to Heaven.

6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6 NASB

The Greek behind this tells us Jesus is making an emphatic statement that it is only through Him that one gains the Father. There are no exceptions to this. God does not contradict Himself.

May God Bless you ealgeone.

Let me know if or when your Heart, Mind, and Soul Change. Until then I can do nothing for you.

I will continue to pray for your Soul.

Ealgeone, you set this up as if Mary is a rival or alternative to Christ. This is not the case. Mary brings people to Christ. She bears Christ to them, because she is the Mother of the Incarnation. She manifests Him to them as the did to the shepherds and kings. She urges people, "Do whatever He tells you." She bears witness to her Son at the foot of the Cross. ---- in other words, she is an evangelizer.

The Rosary, for example, is a series of meditations on the Life of Christ.

Once you realize this, the whole bogus thesis which pits Mary against Christ, collapses.
