		However, in the Blue Army's Spanish magazine, Sol de Fatima, in the September 1985 issue, Sister Lúcia said that the ceremony did not fulfill the Virgin Mary's request, as there was no specific mention of Russia, and "many bishops attached no importance to it".
		As with other modern miracles, Catholics are not required to believe in a miraculous origin for the events at Fatima, however the events at Fatima were officially declared "worthy of belief" by the Catholic Church on 13 October 1930.
		Legend says that the name of the city derives from a Moorish princess from Alcácer do Sal named Fatima who, following her capture by Christian forces during the Moorish occupation of Portugal, was betrothed to the leader of those forces, Gonçalo Hermigues, converted to Catholicism, and was baptised before her marriage in 1158.

Stay tuned for the "practical conclusions." They must think we are very gullible indeed.
		The naming of the village of Fatima is thus a testament, not to "inter-religious dialogue," but to the triumph of Christendom over the Muslim occupiers of Portugal (a process that required another century to complete).
		Where Fatima is concerned, Guerra and the Cardinal provide apt examples of the Party Line, according to which the Message of Fatima’s timeless Catholic verities are replaced with the empty slogans of the post-conciliar revolution.

	The Message of Fatima
		This too is the message of Fatima which, with its urgent call to conversion and penance, draws us to the heart of the Gospel.
		It is clear that in the visions of Lourdes, Fatima and other places it is not a question of normal exterior perception of the senses: the images and forms which are seen are not located spatially, as is the case for example with a tree or a house.
		This is perfectly obvious, for instance, as regards the vision of hell (described in the first part of the Fatima “secret”) or even the vision described in the third part of the “secret”.
