Jim Condit Jr. discusses the many temporal and
spiritual dangers we face in the modern world, noting that until Our Lady

Gerry Matatics |

Gerry Matatics discusses the error of naturalism,
so pervasive today, whereby the world seeks natural solutions to cure its
problems, which are supernatural in origin. This error is one factor preventing
the fulfillment of the Fatima requests. Mr. Matatics also presents a Biblical
paradigm, in which he traces the parallels between the prophet Elias and Our
Lady of Fatima. |

The terrible sacrilegious Hindu desecration that
took place in Fatima on May 5, 2004 should serve to alert us all to the
apostasy that is growing around us. This brief article explains why it is so
important to publicize the occurrence of this event. |
| Thousands of Catholics Raise
Their Voices in Protest Against Hindu Rituals at Fatima Shrine |
|
Catholics by the thousands are up in arms against
the sacrilegious event that occurred on May 5, 2004 at Portugal's Fatima
Shrine, when a Hindu prayer ritual was conducted at the altar in the Little
Chapel of the Apparitions, the chapel built over the spot where the Blessed
Virgin Mary appeared to three children at Fatima in 1917. SIC television, a
national station in Portugal, broadcast the event the same day it took place.
The Fatima Center has obtained a copy of the broadcast, and is now circulating
photographs of the event. |

FLASH! |
| Vatican Calls for
Resignation of Fatima Bishop and Shrine Rector |
|
Correio da manha, the leading daily
newspaper in Portugal, caused an uproar in the Catholic world when it reported
in a front page article in its September 29 issue that "Rome is shocked with
Fatima," concerning the Hindu ritual that desecrated the Fatima Shrine on May
5, 2004. According to the newspaper, the Vatican "is critical of the prayers
offered by the Dalai Lama and those of a Hindu priest in the Shrine" and has
announced to the Portuguese Episcopal Conference (PEC) that they must replace
the Bishop of Fatima and the Shrine Rector. If not, the paper reported, the
Vatican will assume direct control of the Fatima shrine. This press release
illustrates the fact that our actions do make a
difference. |
