Fatima.


From Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald re Fatima

Thank you for your letter of 6 August and for the enclosed copy of Catholic Insight. I read with interest your article on the controversy in Fatima and found it very fair.

I would, in principle, be willing to write a short piece giving the point of view of this Pontifical Council Pontifical Council may refer to:
  • Pontifical Council Cor Unum, a part of the Curia of the Roman Catholic Church
  • Pontifical Council for Culture, a part of the Roman Curia
  • Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, a dicastery of the Catholic Roman Curia
, but I am afraid this could not be done immediately.

Vatican City Vatican City (văt`ĭkən), independent state (2005 est. pop. 900), 108.7 acres (44 hectares), within the city of Rome, Italy, and the residence of the pope, who is its absolute ruler.  

From Ben Rompre

The article [Controversy in Fatima over inter-religious dialogue, CI, Sept. 2004] has Monsignor Luciano Guerra quoted as saying "The future of Fatima, or the adoration adoration,
n a prayer of worship and praise.
 of God and his mother.... " Since when have Catholics started adoring a·dore  
v. a·dored, a·dor·ing, a·dores

v.tr.
1. To worship as God or a god.

2. To regard with deep, often rapturous love. See Synonyms at revere1.

3.
 the Mother of God?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the idea that Catholics adore a·dore  
v. a·dored, a·dor·ing, a·dores

v.tr.
1. To worship as God or a god.

2. To regard with deep, often rapturous love. See Synonyms at revere1.

3.
 the Mother of God is a falsehood, very often promoted by detractors of the Catholic faith.

Is it possible that the article in question suffered in translation, or are we being faced with a new theology?
