John Vennari was perhaps the most brilliant man I've ever known. His knowledge of the faith and his ability to share that knowledge in such a way that everyone could understand is sorely missed. I say that to say this, Marianna may not always be right about everything she speaks about, but I do remember how incredibly impressed John was concerning her keen eye and keen wisdom and understanding of the Star of Esther on Our Lady of Fatima's dress. He was so taken with the fact that it was right there hidden in plain sight until Marianna brought it to the attention of everyone. Much respect for this woman.
