What is the Message?

If Joey Lomangino dies without having his eyes restored, where does that leave the Garabandal Prophecy?

Joey must be around 79 years old today. He is supposed to have his eyes restored during the Miracle in the Garabandal prophecy.

1. huh?

2. I believe that people who truly put private revelation into its proper place within the "big picture" of Church teaching and who respect the authority of the magisterium have long ago stopped focusing their lives on these "prophecies", if they ever did. (After all, one local Ordinary after another has declared that nothing supernatural was going on.)

The people who desperately want to believe in the purported apparitions will continue to do so, no matter what happens. They will always find a way to re-interpret the "prophecy" so that it fits the reality.

Like this quote from one site:
"When Conchita found out Padre Pio died in Sept. 1968, she met his close friend, Father Bernardino Cennamo, at Lourdes, and asked him, 'How is it that Our Lady told me Padre Pio would see the Miracle and he has died?' Father Cenammo responded, 'Padre Pio saw the Miracle before he died. He told me himself.' "

If a prophecy that a person "will see the Miracle" can be declared fulfilled by saying "he saw it in heaven", don't you think they'll just declare Joey's blindness cured in heaven, too? I mean, it would hardly be heaven if your were still blind, would it?
