In this episode of Fatima Today, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the prophetic insights of Pope John Paul II and Sister Lucia as they relate to our times. Based on John Paul II’s teachings and his consecrations of the world to the Immaculate Heart in 1991 and 2000, they discuss how the Fatima message shaped his view of the modern world’s spiritual struggles. The conversation also looks into Sister Lucia’s warning to Cardinal Carlo Caffarra about the final battle over marriage and family—one that continues to unfold in today’s culture.
