"In the formal Decree of 1930 drawn up by the Ecclesiastical Commission, the Bishop of Leiria wrote these words among others: 

'This phenomenon [the Miracle of the Sun], which was not registered in any astronomical observatory — a fact  which shows that it was not natural — was seen by persons of every class and grade of society, by believers and incredulous, by journalists representing the principal Portuguese newspapers, and even by persons miles away. This destroys any explanation based on collective illusion.'" ("Fatima and the Rosary: A Brief History of the Wonders of Fatima, Portugal", By Fr. Cacella, pp. 4-5, 1947 A.D.)
