The same Catholic Church that discerned that Fatima was worthy of belief also discerned what to include in Sacred Scripture.
Now you have nailed your colours to the flag pole. You do not believe in the Authority of the Seat of Peter, The Holy See, the Church founded by Christ Jesus.Is this the same Papal authority that ran the Inquisition and put Galileo in prison?
Oh. Check.Let me explain it again. Just because someone claimed that God is telling them to relay a message, doesn’t mean they are. Even the Bible warn of people who claim to speak for God whereas God told them no such things.
With “Galileo” in the same sentence, even.Funnily enough, the way this thread was going I** was** expecting the Spanish Inquisition. . .
And there it is, right on schedule, right after the ‘scripture alone’ . . .
Again I’ll ask in the hope of an answer, do you believe in any of the proclaimed apparitions, and if you do how did you come to that conclusion ?Is this the same Papal authority that ran the Inquisition and put Galileo in prison?
You’re not obliged to accept Fatima - just allow those who DO belive in it the freedom that the Church has allowed them to do so.I’m starting to have my doubts on my previous belief that Fatima was a false vision. I don’t want to commit the unpardonable sin of contributing a work of God to evil, then again, I don’t want to accept Fatima yet. So, I’ll pray about it.
I’m not sure – I’ll have to do some research on that one.Sort of a side question.
Were there any people at Fatima during the Dancing of the Sun who either did not see anything, or attributed it to something totally natural and coincidental (timing)?
Thanks.I’m not sure – I’ll have to do some research on that one.
that’s a good point. here’s something I found that says none of the witnesses are known to have denied the miracle:Thanks.
I find that using arguments such as “many witnessed (insert event here)” to be one of those arguments people use in thier favor but find reasons to deny same argument if it doesn’t suit thier point.
I’ll give an example. Hank Hanegraaff of Bible Answer Man fame often uses the “fact” that Jesus was seen by as many as 500 people in a single sighting following the Resurrection as an important item of evidence of the death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet Hanegraaff attributes the 70,000 who witnessed the dancing of the sun to some sort of mistake.
I’d be interested to know just how many of the 70,000 either suggest it didn’t happen or was something natural or a lie. I have not been able to find any data on this.
