I hope he shaped up later in life, though the Wikipedia article I mentioned -- and particularly his inability to distinguish between "fame" and "infamy" -- doesn't seem to bear that out. I suppose he earned the obscurity into which he has now fallenAnita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-62838449878031302472010-08-15T23:33:49.400-06:002010-08-15T23:33:49.400-06:00That was fast.

You, perhaps, recall me asking whatever became of that former professor of yours.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-25338236121378829932010-08-15T23:03:52.348-06:002010-08-15T23:03:52.348-06:00There is a comment in De Marchi's book (which ...There is a comment in De Marchi's book (which is <a href="http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/tsfatima.htm" rel="nofollow">available in its entirety online</a>, by the way) to the effect that at the time the book was written (1952), Santos was still living. In fact, here it is:<br /><br /><i>He [Ti Marto] would just talk of the children he had fathered and loved, and in a very practical, non-sentimental way, of other characters who populate this book, of the parish priest "... his reverence, who didn't believe and didn't want the rest of us to believe"; of the mayor-administrator, a valid villain in those distant days, still living, and perhaps improving, but toward whom Ti Marto in his charity holds no bitterness.</i><br /><br />That's the only thing I've seen so far in books I've read about Fatima (and I haven't read nearly all of them, though I have read a number of them). Arturo Santos actually has a Wikipedia entry that says he later professed to become a Christian, though he did not go to Mass or confession; that he was stripped of his office in his later years; and that he was proud of being known all over the world. This article doesn't give his date of death.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-109951486280887902010-08-15T22:37:25.116-06:002010-08-15T22:37:25.116-06:00Have you come across anything (in books, other inf...Have you come across anything (in books, other information) on what became of Santos after, say, October 13?TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.com
