The Cathetic Dimension of the Apparitions of Fatima
Marian Zając
Abstract
The Marian apparitions initiated in 1917 in Fatima, quickly gained worldwide publicity due to their content and form. Because they began in the tragic period for the history of humanity, entangled in armed conflicts and atheistic ideologies, their message of hope increased interest in all spheres of social life. The appeal for conversion and return to the Gospel principles in individual and social life was declared to the world through children who confirmed the phenomenon of Fatima apparitions by their mortified life. The spiritual content of the message has become an important element in the catechetical ministry of raising children, youth and adults. Although what happened at Fatima does not belong to the category of a scientific discourse based solely on empirical methods, it must be reminded in the education of the young generation and recalled in discussions about the future of man and the world.
