I love the Tridentine Mass but that doesn't stop me loving Pope Francis
In a post for The Catholic Herald, I argue that it's possible to go to the Tridentine Mass regularly, and be a supporter of Pope Francis.
Our Lady of Siluva

I do not believe The Third Secret of Fatima came to pass with the attempted assassination of John Paul II in 1981
I may sound alarmist but heart and soul I believe the Third Secret of
Fatima has not yet fully come to pass: that the bloodbath foretold by
Our Lady when she appeared to Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco has not
reached its bitter conclusion which will be marked by a massacre of the
Holy Father, bishops, men and women religious and lay faithful. Indeed, I
believe that this rude shock is ahead of us, not behind us.
A full 100 years ago this year Our Lady cautioned that if humankind did not turn from sin, repent and offer prayers and penance in reparation all the while honouring her specific requests then the contents of the Third Secret would be our fate.
That faithful day on the hillside Our Lady revealed a vision to the 3 children which was later relayed (fully or edited; many of us are not quite sure) by the last surviving seer, Sr Lucia. Relying on Lucia's words, our mental cinema can create a surreal sequence of events where the Holy Father in a trembling and down-trod…

Our Lady appeared on the 13th of the month at Fatima so we may avoid the fate of Judas
100 years ago today Our Lady appeared at Fatima and gave the world a sign so as that we may believe. What came to be known as "the miracle of the sun" occurred when the sun burst from behind a curtain of dark clouds, the sun shook and shivered, then became a spinning circle of silver. To quote an eye-witness, the father of Jacinta and Francisco, "then at a certain moment, the sun appeared to stop spinning. It then
began to move and to dance in the sky until it seemed to detach itself
from its place and fall upon us. It was a terrible moment."
How amazing to think this was happening on this very day - October 13th - 100 years ago. The date begs the question, why the 13th? The number 13 is so closely associated with Our Lady and yet us Catholics are silent when asked as to its significance. We are confused, too, because the number 13 is roundly regarded as "unlucky". There were 13 people present at The Last Supper including Judas who had already agreed to…
