........more to the point. Why did the Catholic Church keep the third secret of Fatima locked away for so many years when the "Lady", the Mother of Jesus specifically gave a time and date when this secret was to be revealed to the world? In the 1960's? Did they feel that their judgments were more important than the Lady they worship? Did they feel that they knew better and the lady had her timing wrong? Did they not fear retribution from the Lady for not revealing the secret when they were told to do so? What provoked them to finally reveal the secret over 40 years after they were instructed to do so? What effect could this great delay have had on the world and continue to have on the world? Why do they not allow Sister Lucia (the remaining survivor of the three fatima children) to reveal the secret to the world in her own words? This I feel would be more credible, more accurate an account than the one we have been given. How do we know for certain that the 3rd secret finally revealed by the Catholic Church is true, authentic and accurate with nothing omitted, admitted or censored?
