It doesn't. The original problem was the combination of the Marian
prediction concerning Russia with the purported presence of "godless
communists" (i.e., the Russian version of communism) at Fatima. It
should be clear by now that these two things are separate and unrelated
and should not be used to circularly reinforce each other.
