Understanding Fátima

[dove51]

My priest recently spoke briefly to me about “living the message of Fátima.” I’m not terribly familiar with this apparition like I am with Lourdes, and for a long time I did not even believe it was real, but rather a concocted story rooted in the wave of Communist fears of the time. The cloud of what look like conspiracy theories that surround it also make me skeptical. But I really do want to learn and understand more, since someone I very much respect believes it. Please, what is the best traditional, faithful-to-the-Catholic-Church source for me to learn all I need to know about Fátima? Any sort of book or web page you think is good?

Some say the 3rd. part of the “secret has not been revealed, but I believe JP II and B16 & Sr. Lucy are telling the truth!!!
