text: What are you struggling with?  60-70,000 witnesses. Reported world wide in the secular press of the day.  Two popes, at least, have tried to make the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart as Mary requested.  The Church has seen the prophecies of a "greater war" and the annihilation of nations and the Holy Father having much to suffer.  JPII had the bullet he was shot with put into the crown of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima at Portugal where he went to thank her for sparing his life or interceding on his behalf so that his life was spared.  The Church has declared the apparitions worthy of belief.  Mary has asked us to make 5 First Saturdays of reparation for sins against her Immaculate Heart by going to Mass and confession and saying five decades of the rosary and to make sacrifices and pray for those who are in sin so that they can be saved.  Where is your problem with any of this?  What is the life of a Christian about to you?
