FATIMA

We need to infiltrate—redefine— and destroy .. the Catholic Church

The Miracle of the Sun (Portuguese: O milagre do sol), also known as the Miracle of Fátima, refers to an event that allegedly occurred on 13 October 1917 above a large crowd who had gathered near Fátima, Portugal, in response to a prophecy made by three shepherd children. The prophecy was that the Virgin Mary (referred to as Our Lady of Fatima), would appear and perform miracles on that date. Newspapers published testimony from reporters and other people who claimed to have witnessed extraordinary solar activity, such as the sun appearing to "dance" or zig-zag in the sky, careen towards the earth, or emit multicolored light and radiant colors. According to these reports, the event lasted approximately ten minutes. [Wikipedia] Front Page News: The Miracle of the Sun | Anti-Clerical Press newspaper reported Last week marked the 100th anniversary of the Fatima "Miracle of the Sun." This is all I'll say about it. !n 1917 Portugal was governed by an overtly secular government that had clamped down on religion.  Specifically, the Catholic Church.  Here's what's important about it.  When the Blessed Mother first appeared before the three children, in the small town of Fatima (a place that was still steadfastly Catholic), it created quite a stir.  The government reacted by threatening the children with being thrown into a vat of boiling oil if they didn't recant.  They refused, and their notoriety only grew.   That said, the fulmination of Mary's appearances before the kids was when she told them she would appear before any who cared, on a date and time certain.  The event drew thousand of believers—and skeptics.  They gathered during the night,  enduring a cold pouring rain.  The secular press was well represented; their aim: to finally debunk this talk of "miracles."  The rest is history.  Not only did Mary appear, she announced she would make the sun dance.  And it did. The rain soaked ground, and  wet clothing were dried. Newspaper reports, by a decidedly leftist press, grudgingly reported the miracle factually. It happened. It was well documented.  It as real.  For what it's worth.
