Fátima 1917: What Religion Could Not Admit and Science Could Not Explain

What really happened between May 13 and October 13, 1917 in the Cova da Iria moor in Fatima? Marian apparitions as the Catholic Church maintains? UFO phenomena according to some researchers? Or simply a fraud advocated from both within and without the religious faith?

And not because there are no excellent writers, composers and artists today, but because there is an effort to impose the poisonous, degrading and decadent “creativity” that floods the mass media, the internet and social networks, turning those ones into a kind of freaks and the true freaks into social references. Read More
