As I have already told you, I went to Fátima and witnessed some extraordinary phenomena; what is more, I am inwardly convinced that the supernatural manifested itself there. But until Holy Church, the infallible teacher of truth, does so, I will not come forward to proclaim the reality of the miracle. In this respect my opinion is a purely personal one.

Português (original)

Fui como já lhe disse á Fátima, presenciei alguns phenomenos extraordinarios; mais ainda: estou intimamente convencido de que o sobrenatural ali se manifestou, mas, emquanto a Santa Egreja, mestra infalivel da verdade o não fizer, eu não venho proclamar a realidade do milagre. Sob este ponto de vista a minha opinião é mesmo muito pessoal.
