Expert: - 5/9/2008


Question
Hello Sir,

I'm wondering if you can tell me if the bullet that John Paul the Second donated to the Fatima Shrine was the one that struck his body, or the one that hit the vehicle he was in?

Thank you so much,

Darin

Answer
Peace


Dear Darin,

  Sorry for the delay, my computer is down. I am at the public library as I write this. I believe its the one that struck his body.
  Below is a link to the official site of Fatima, where you might find a more definite answer:

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
