The Challenge of Fatima

If there were any doubts about the enduring power of Fatima, Pope Francis has put them to bed. Appearing before half a million people on the hundredth anniversary of Mary's apparitions, Francis canonized two of the young seers who saw her, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, and he spoke movingly of the third—their cousin, Lucia dos Santos, who became a Carmelite nun and may be canonized herself.
