The period of the 1974 revolution in Fátima “is a time that has yet to be studied and that continues to cause concern,” said the director of the Department of Sanctuary Research, Marco Daniel, adding that “looking back, we understand that it is a calm that is not without concern “
On the day of the Carnation Revolution, the Portuguese Episcopal Conference met in Fátima, but it is unknown “what exactly happened at the meeting, these archives need to be studied in this sense,” explained Marco Daniel Luse, adding that the May pilgrimage was presided over by the Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal António Ribeiro, who in his sermon he “used such expressions as freedom, conscience, restoration and responsibility.”
“Fátima is not subject to the Estado Novo,” and the “maximum proof of this” is that “its development is linked to the religious politics of the modern world, especially since the time of Pius XII. This is a religious problem on a universal scale,” he says.
