The Real Meaning Behind POPE PAUL'S PILGRIMAGE TO PORTUGAL - Raymond F McNair - June 1967

Raymond F McNair

Why did Pope Paul make his recent trip to Fatima? What did he accomplish? Why has he since spoken out, demanding Jerusalem be made an international city? "The Pope's pilgrimage to Portugal is the biggest event ever to occur in this country!" an elated Portuguese exclaimed to me. This momentous occasion is the 50th anniversary of the first Fatima vision. It was on May 13, 1917 that three poor, uneducated Portuguese peasant children believed the Virgin Mary appeared to them. It is also the 25th anniversary of Pope Pius XII's consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
