Fatima stuff..I'm waiting for a big budget Hollywood movie on this. sooner or later, the fiction produced by these three will find its way to the big screen.
Hey Jim, are you familiar with the 1952 movie "The Miracle of Our Lady at Fatima"? It was a pretty big release back in the day (via Warner Brothers, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracle_of_Our_Lady_of_Fatima). I don't know if the industry will ever attempt a remake, but in this day and age of religiosity, I wouldn't doubt it. Who knows! Maybe they'll attempt a "Left Behind" type of movie about the "secrets" of Fatima with a fictional storyline.
I have always been skeptically about Marian apparitions, but a DVD I was recently sent (which was sent without any knowledge and/or approval on my part) has certainly caused some serious reflection on my part.
The DVD is titled: “Heavens Key To Peace”, and is available at:
www.fatima.org
To make a very long story short, I am not as resolute in my reservations about Fatima I once was.
It was an interesting post, thanks for the link. I do keep up with some of the Fatima stuff- I have a subscription to the Fatima Crusader (The Spring 2007 issue is on my desk as I write).
When I get a chance to work with my template, i will link your blog.

Looking for an Obscure Luther Quote? Chances are if you've wound up on this site, you're looking for information on an obscure quote said to come from Martin Luther or one of the other Protestant Reformers. This blog has been compiling information on obscure Reformation quotes for over a decade. Use the search engines below to look for your particular obscure quote.
“Let nobody suppose that he has tasted the Holy Scriptures sufficiently unless he has ruled over the churches with the prophets for a hundred years. Therefore there is something wonderful, first, about John the Baptist; second, about Christ; third, about the apostles...“We are beggars. That is true.” - Martin Luther
"It is true that the best apologetics can be given only when the system of truth is well known. But it is also true that the system of truth is not well known except it be seen in its opposition to error."- Cornelius Van Til
"But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!"- John Calvin
"The Scriptures obtain full authority among believers only when men regard them as having sprung from heaven, as if there the living words of God were heard."- John Calvin
This is the best book available on Sola Scriptura. For Protestants, it will help you understand and defend sola scriptura. For Catholics, this book will help you understand exactly what Protestants mean by sola scriptura, rather than what you think it means. I highly recommend getting this book, it never leaves my desk, and serves as a valuable reference tool.

Hmm, how'd I miss this post?
Thanks for the link--that's why I've had some more hits this week.
If Mel Gibson reads your blog he may have his next movie. Of course it will be done in early 1900's Portuguese.
Pilgrim-
