THIS IS A Catholic blog. I am a Catholic journalist and author. If you enjoy this Blog, you'll probably enjoy my books - so contact me (via a Comment to this blog) and ask me about them.
Fatima is "approved", which isn't the same thing as "declared to be supernatural". A Catholic isn't obliged to believe that the messages are genuinely from the Virgin Mary. Since the children have been canonised, we can't reasonably hold that it was a fraud, but those aren't the only two alternatives. However it does seem that the whole thing is genuine. Which as you say is far more exciting than predictions about needing to stock up on tinned food for the coming end times.
