Erich von Däniken’s interpretation of Fátima is speculative, but he is careful to present it as a question rather than a certainty. The Vatican’s published version of the Third Secret raises a wider issue: institutions tend to preserve the narratives upon which their authority depends.
A reflection on the Church of England’s quiet transformation — from spiritual authority to institutional survivor — and why Catholicism may endure as faith while Anglicanism persists as structure. Exploring assets, doctrine, conscience, and the possibility of a Church without dogma: shared meals, inward clarity, and compassion without hierarchy.
