Fatima: State Deeply Embarrasses Church

It's “a possibility” to celebrate the May 13 anniversary of the Marian apparitions in Fatima, the Portuguese Minister of Health, Marta Temido, said on May 2, "as long as this is an option for the organisers and the health rules are complied with.”

However, Father Carlos Cabecinhas, the rector of the shrine, had already cancelled all celebrations on April 6 because of the coronavirus. Fatima Cardinal Marto presented this as “deep act of Faith” - although it was the contrary.

Cabecinhas admitted that he was taken "by surprise" by the minister's proposal and promised an answer.

It came on May 4. Cabecinhas stated that he will not allow any pilgrimages and that the shrine will be “completely locked” on May 12/13 (video below).

This is the first time in history that Fatima will be without pilgrims on these days.

I understand by those who have gone that there is much "Modernist" architecture there which is extremely ugly -- which is of course why the Communists/Masons behind it do it....

It is not surprising that he is in no hurry to re-…More

Thank God! Our Lady of Fatima pray for us! The children of Fatima were shown a vision of hell, people were tumbling into it like snowflakes. They were so traumatized they spent the rest of their lives making enormous sacrifices, to save souls. We need to pray, pray the rosary, lead good lives, and offer reparation to God for the sins committed against Him and against the Blessed Virgin.

I agree 100% with the emotion, but Our Lady would be better served by an intelligent expression. Remember, even "Thou fool" gets you a hot punishment.

No one embarrasses the Church of Christ, this priest embarrasses himself, and that's for being unfaithful

Well stated brother, our true Church is great. Bergoglio, Cupich, Marx, Tobin,these imposters in Portugal... do not belong, they are liars and thiefs-leeches.
