They are a ultra-traditionalist Catholic organization, that is viciously anti-Semitic, into Holocaust denial, and very anti-science, dismissing astronomy, (they claim Galileo was wrong, the Earth is at the center of the universe,) climate science, evolution, and so on.
They hit the "big time" when they got Ron Paul to give a keynote speech at their meeting this year.

So why bring this up now?
Well, all any of us can do is look at the methods the Fatima Center uses to "confirm" their beliefs.
Their interpretation of a book.
Ridiculing and attempting to censor dissent.
Contrary views are from "brainwashed/evil" sources.
Any evidence showing them to be dead wrong is "fake/planted."
Does any of this sound familiar?
It sure does to me.
Just look at the methods the JFK assassination CT'ers use.

So far her prophecy track record is 100% accurate. Amazing.
