`FATIMA-GATE': A VATICAN WHITEWASH OVER FATIMA SECRET?

FORT ERIE, Ontario (Wireless Flash) -- Is the Vatican involved in a religious coverup over the so-called third secret of Fatima? On Monday, the Vatican released a statement that the third secret was merely a prediction of Pope John Paul II's 1981 assassination attempt -- but one Catholic organization thinks the Vatican isn't telling all it knows. Father Paul Kramer of the Fatima Center in Fort Erie, Ontario, claims Sister Lucia -- one of three Portuguese children who supposedly saw the Virgin Mary in 1917 -- personally told the Pope one year after the assassination attempt that the third secret had yet to come true. Father Kramer claims the third secret of Fatima really describes a future scene in which the Pope and many bishops, priests and nuns will be brutally killed by soldiers.
