Why don't you read the whole article.  The whole thing sounds like political propaganda.

It's just political nonsense

It's amazing how they can make retroactive predictions and be called miraculous. Like two of the children died and afterwards it's all: They predicted their own deaths. Or the woman says that she predicted John Paul II getting shot, conveniently years after it happened. Give me a break. Useless hackery that should fool no modern person.

If the Sun really went zipping around in the sky, there would have been immeasurable gravitational havoc throughout the Solar System. Planets would have been flung in every direction and thrown out of the System altogether.

If it was 'just' the Earth being tossed around to give the illusion of the Sun moving in the sky, same deal as far as this planet is concerned. Earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanic disruption on an apocalyptic scale and worse. Funny how nobody reported any of that.

If, as I have heard desperately shoehorned into the story, "God" was controlling all these factors, then at the barest minimum everyone on the daylight hemisphere, plus everyone living in the concomitant libration zone would have seen and reported the Sun moving around unnaturally. It wouldn't have been localised to one remote village.

Conclusion: whatever else was going on, the Sun wasn't moving around off its axis. But the real stake through the heart of this childish 'miracle' story is that even if it happened exactly as described, or something happened comparable to the description (mass hysteria, etc), there is no way to join the dots between it and "therefore "God" exists".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

-You- stare directly into the sun for an extended period time and see what kind of crazy looking shit pops up, lol. These people were lucky if their eyes weren't damaged.

Old Salazar grasped the concept. Fado, Football and Fatima, was enough to keep the populace under control. Even today people pilgrimate there. The sad part is that in blind faith to keep a promise the news are full of pillgrims hit by car news. I am Portuguese, I know all about it. Its good for turism.
