But, if you would have gone to those sites that I gave links to, if you're anything like me, you'd have a sort of "icky" feeling from reading the writings of those nutjobs and how seriously they take this garbage. I know that sometimes I have to have what my DH calls an "atheist revival" just to get over nonsense like that.
Haha, alright. I wasn't sure where you were going with that. Well, my point remains. All of this new Fatima stuff is as made up as the old stuff.

The three "secret prophecies" of the children of Fatima have already been revealed, though the last was delayed.
The Holy See has an article about the history of the prophecies on its Website http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congre...ma_en.html
(Destroyed Vatican tracking and Flash cookies immediately after I went there; don't need the Holy See tracking a Wiccan.)
That article includes photocopies of Lucia's original documents in Portuguese, with translations in many languages available. (You have to wade through about two-thirds of the page of Catholic prayer to get to them but they are there). The Church itself points out, near the bottom of the page, that the third "secret" is somewhat disappointing.
http://paranormal.about.com/od/marianapp...hecies.htm
About.com has an adequate explanation of the history of the appearance of Mary in Fatima, pointing out also that the "revelations" there are not part of Catholic doctrine and the Faithful are under no requirement to believe them.
Of note, the first two prophecies revealed by Lucia were revealed "after the fact," meaning Lucia could have done some prophecy-fulfilling of her own, and the Church acknowledges this.
Lucia maintained there were three prophecies. All three have been revealed, and none of them predicted the "downfall of the Vatican" or other such tommyrot.

Considering the trouble the church has been lately for the cover-up of sexual abuses committed by it's clergy, that prophecy might be fulfilled.

I cant work out if its a religious cult , a conspiracy theory or the next Dan Brown novel.
Probably all three

Well, they didn't tell us yesterday, so I doubt they will today.
