I think you have a point. I do not know what is claimed that Jesus said at Fatima. Indeed, it is news to me that He appeared and spoke. However, I do know the Jesus spoke clearly in Holy Scripture that** all** sin may be forgiven save** one**. This blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is defined in the catechism (CCC #1864).
“Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.” There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss.
Note that Mary is not mentioned.
Yes, thats what Hesychios and I referred to above.
I believe the point brought up by the Seer at Fatima is that the Miracles at Fatima including the appearences of the Blessed Mother “are through the will of the Holy Spirit”. Christ appeared there several times and apparently this is all He spoke on and confirmed this also. If indeed this is true “which I personally believe it is” then its the word of God, and there wouldn’t be anything heretical about it, matter of fact it would be correctly aligned with the Bible by the way its explained by the Seer and written at Fatima. And you take this to the bank, if there is anything heretical preached by Fatima, the CC would be right on top of it. And wouldn’t on the contrary be doing public Homilys at Fatima to confirm its reality.
And Fatima? There is so much information and so many appearences which occured over a half a century it becomes in depth research. Then to read what everyone directly involved wrote? That becomes another process. There were Three appearences from Christ “which I am aware of”. There may have even been more which I’m not aware of. I have read all the info on “these three” simply do to facination. Initially I wasn’t aware Christ had appeared either. The letters written by the Seer’s Mother Superior are in themself facinating.
Anyway as I mention, what will become of it? I have not the slightest idea. Also its worth noting that upon confrontation the Seer also worked from memory on much of what was told to her. While in her later years she specifically wrote everything down she was told, initially she didn’t do this. So, when we speak from memory? I’m not sure also how much becomes an interpretation of what was said? I would imagine it wouldn’t be far off, yet still it wouldn’t be 100% accurate either. Which ironically “if I remember correctly” the Seer also mentions this herself.
Yet still its obvious from this last page of posting that critism is added with zero understanding of actually what happened? Its sort of like talking about a Book you haven’t Read.
If in fact you don’t believe in Divine Intervention? And thats the premise your working on? Then really thats what you should state, why beat around the bush? If I didn’t believe it, I would be right up front and let you know. There is no question about what I am saying about Fatima since all above are direct quotes from Fatima. So it really comes down to your own belief. So when you state heretical? You would be saying you belief Fatima is heretical and what apparently God said. I’m just the messenger here. There is no inaccuracy with anything I quoted on Fatima. Your welcome to research this. So in other words your commenting on a topic you know very little about. Easy now, don’t get upset, I"m just saying. Wouldn’t I be right on this point?
One fact you can be certain of, and this why we follow the Church. They researched this inside out and didn’t miss anything. Then Pope Benedict XVI did a public Two-Page Homily on this on May 13th 2010. Which also can be googled and read in its complete context.
Now when we have the Catholic Church investigate and then deem Fatima “Worthy of Belief” the reason why this is done has to be clearly understood also. Not the fact that it was done. Which relates directly back to the OP.
God Bless, GT
