Did the True Secret of Fatima Die with Sister Lucy?
Fatima Center Asks Fort Erie: February 14, 2005 While the Fatima Center mourns the death of Sister Lucy, the lone surviving seer of Fatima, it also asks if the true Secret of Fatima has died with her. For 45 years, she had been forbidden by the Vatican to speak of the mysterious Secret, and died under this imposition of silence. The Secret was supposed to be released in 1960, but Pope John XXIII decided to keep it hidden. On June 26, 2000, the Vatican s Cardinal Ratzinger released a part of the Third Secret containing the vision of a “bishop clothed in white” who is killed by gunfire from a group of soldiers. In the same vision, many bishops, priests and lay people are also killed by these soldiers. According to the Vatican interpretation, the Third Secret is nothing more than a prediction of the May 13, 1981 assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II by the lone gunman, Mehmet Ali Agca. Both Catholic and non-Catholic sources questioned the authenticity of this interpretation. Eve
