Pope Leo 14th and Cardinal Burke have a tense exchange over alleged new evidence related to the third secret of Fatima, which Burke claims involved undisclosed documents predicting apostasy. Pope Leo disputes the authenticity of these documents, declaring them as forgeries from the 1980s. Leo subsequently orders the release of authentic Fatima archives.
The claims related to Cardinal Burke and the third secret of Fatima revolve around alleged new evidence and disputed documents. Available evidence confirms the third secret was revealed in 2000 and involves future threats to the Church. Conflicting information about new evidence from Cardinal Burke lacks corroboration. Claims about Sister Lucia and forgeries relate to broader debates over document authenticity, but lack specific evidence about recent claims. Overall, no professional fact-check directly addresses new allegations from Burke or specific documents he purportedly discussed.
