The undeniable miracle at Fatima

[pabsta]

I've had discussions here before about the miracle of the sun. I find it very convincing and impossible to explain away as something other than a supernatural phenomenon. Someone here even said it was a conspiracy by the government (who was somehow able to predict that the sun would do weird things on that day at that time, months ahead of time) and they had the kids involved.

Before this thread I had heard the phrase miracle at Fatima but besides that I knew nothing about what was claimed to have happened.  In reading this thread and learning about it for the first time I find it to be such a low bar for even the word interesting, let alone miracle.  It left no lasting impact, everything returns to normal(as if nothing happened) and nothing changes, that is the definition of ordinary.     

It's shocking to me that adults can think this has some kind of meaningful impact in the world.

It's not only the miracle of the sun that has left a "meaningful impact" on the world, it is the messages the 3 children relayed as coming from this lady over a 6 month period that I've had the most impact. We have not talked about the messages in this thread so far. The 3 children stated that they saw this lady monthly for 6 months leading up to the miracle. After each meeting the children relayed her message to their parents and the locals in Fatima. Each time the messages were entirely Catholic, and contained predictions of things to come in the Catholic Church. The messages were beyond what the children could've known, and all the events later happened. One of the primary messages was that people should pray the Rosary, for example. So these events had the most impact on people who were already Catholic. The miracle of the sun itself was primarily for non-Catholics, but it just confirmed things all the more for those already Catholic.
