    I do not believe any appearances or miracles occurred there. It's a hoax.

    I understand how you feel. Fatima is an optional belief for Catholics. It was called "worthy of belief".

    Well, the Fatima prayer is a good prayer to have.

    Talking of Fatima, what do you think of Lourdes?

    I on the other hand believe that the children truly had a vision, and that the vision came from God. But they interpreted it according to their childish and thoroughly Roman Catholic experience. Thus the children heard the Lady tell them to pray the Rosary, and to pray for peace. A protestant receiving the vision would have been more likely to have a vision of Jesus, and have heard him say things consistent with Protestantism.

    So though I accept the vision of Fatima, I have no interest in devotion to the heart of the Mother of Jesus, or in becoming a Roman Catholic.

    You are mistaken. They are separate things.
