He considered this as confirmation of what he was going to do two days later after receiving only six responses with some concerns, out of a total of 1,181 from around the world, after a consultation that began in a reserved manner in 1946.

The episode was repeated on October 31, on November 1 when he proclaimed the dogma and on November 8, “and then not anymore.”

The Pontiff wrote that he tried on other days, at the same time of the afternoon and in similar atmospheric conditions, “to look at the sun to see if the same phenomenon appeared, but in vain; “I couldn’t look at it for even a moment, the view was immediately dazzled.”
