The children, the visions, Lucy Dos Santos, the Miracle of the Sun, the fall of Communism, the Pope, the secrets - what's your take?

2. Fatima's Third Secret was revealed more than a decade ago

And no, it wasn't what people think.
The Blessed Mother gave Lucia the Third Secret which actually predicted the assassination attempt of the Holy Father, who just so happened to be Pope John Paul II.

5. That's what I thought I remembered. Of course,

the vision recounted in the third secret isn't exactly the same in the details as the attack on Il Papa, but scary enough.

In 1985, my husband was in Rome and went to a general audience where the pope rode along in his Jeep (I think it was a Jeep back then), touching some of the hands held out to him. Mr. DemBones snapped a photo of John Paul II about two seconds before JP touched his hand! It's a great photo. I need to scan it one of these days.
Mr. DB also photographed JFK a day or two before he was killed, during his visit to Tampa.
