SISTER LUCIA (1907-2005), Seer of Fatima new twist on the already handled case Fatima. Benedict XVI, who has traveled to the shrine Portuguese-May 13 will mark ninety-three years of the famous apparitions of the Virgin featuring children Lucia Jacinta and Francisco, said that the Third Secret of Fatima refers to the trials currently underway in the Church because of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests. Any theological interpretation is valid if thereby a matter as serious as pedophilia within the Church discredited followers whose numbers decreased while increasing the number of atheists, is framed in a spiritual dimension and even prophetic This continues to be a clever ruse to make people believe that Via Dolorosa scheduled from heaven (if Jesus Christ suffered its own, the Church would not be left behind). "The Lord has said that the Church will suffer until the end of the world. And today we see this particular way ", Ratzinger said sorry.
Never mind that ten years ago, when he was Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , bring to light an official document to interpret the third part of the Secret of Fatima "declassified June 26, 2000 -, noting that its content refers specifically to the attack against John Paul II on May 13, 1981. Nothing to do with reading now does, of course, as interested and fancy as the previous one. The contradiction is not important in theology. Faith swallows everything you throw. The reason, which is more bloody and does not like that pig in a poke, no. And so I have to return to the issue Fatima although I do not want, as already discussed in this blog exactly a year ago and at length in my book The business of the Virgin (Nowtilus, 2004), plus other articles published in magazines (I recommend to turn the work The secret of Fatima, by Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d'Armada, also published in the same publisher that my book, because it is an excellent X-ray case). Anyway, I will not push more than the subject deserves right now. I will say that it is necessary, not a reinterpretation of the Secret of Fatima in the light of events currently living Church, but rather a comprehensive review of the case from a historical-critical approach, among other key issues studying the strange personality of the main seer Lucia dos Santos - Discalced Carmelite was done, "the possible psychopathological nature of his visions, which lasted almost until his death in 2005 - the influence exerted on it their confessors, the Jesuits José Bernardo Gonçalves da Silva and José Aparicio-(a suspicious influenced by the clergy also observed in other cases Marian where the protagonists are children) and the causes that led to the Church lusa to use an entirely distorted, if not invented, facts that were far from light-years compassionate version decided to propagate. The goal, perfectly planned, was none other than promote popular piety in a socio-political-anticlerical republican government with a presiding Portugal since 1910 and managed to separate church and state, as well as use the message Fatima as conservative anti-gun, putting Russia in the spotlight as the main enemy of the faith (shortly after the events in Fatima, Portugal is implanted in a fascist dictatorship, being at the forefront of the scheme António de Oliveira Salazar ultra-Catholic, which was to prohibit the entry of Russians in their country.) Here already we see the strategy clearly reflected the Church always uses to handle the most gullible, fearful enslaved, and make the most of them proselytizing. Faith turned into political cause. And the miracle of Fatima well that served the Church for their purposes, often so remote from the Gospel . Thus, the Portuguese enclave became one of the main places of pilgrimage in the Catholic world, being dubbed the "Altar of the World." Mission accomplished ... "Without Fatima Salazar would not be possible. He would not have been called on the government and even fewer had remained there ", Cardinal Journet say without hesitation. P recisamente, for it serves the miracle, the greatest illusion, along with the idea of \u200b\u200bhell-that Church built around ignorance and fear. The miracle was the most effective ally for their propaganda campaigns and which has reported more dividends. Without the miracle, which camouflages the guise of religion, superstition, the Church would detached from its purported divine connection, his mission of salvation and especially of his earthly power, while the Vatican coffers suffer a serious deficit. And it is only in donations, the faithful leave seven million euros a year in Fatima, whose "bank branches are among the largest foreign exchange transactions conducted throughout the country" ( Visão Magazine, 5/11/2000 .)
And while the Pope passes these days in trying to purge Fatima prayers to imaginary instances of serious sins, crimes, rather, committed by ministers of the Catholic sect I invite the reader to continue to have faith in miracles to reflect on when he wrote the great atheist philosopher Baron d'Holbach (1723-1789) in his monumental work System of Nature:
"What were marvels, miracles, supernatural effects to our ancestors become to be today, for us, simple and natural effects and mechanism of which we know the causes. The man, investigating nature, has succeeded in discovering the causes of earthquakes, the periodic motion of the seas, underground fires and meteors, that our ancestors were and still are for the ignorant vulgar, indubitable signs of the wrath of Heaven. Our posterity continuing and rectifying the experiences made by our parents, will go even further and discover causes and effects totally hidden from our eyes. The combined efforts of the human race may one day get to enter the sanctuary of nature to discover many mysteries that seem to be denied to all our investigations. "
