The Three Children Seers of Fatima
[The following writing is taken from my book, The Greatest Conspiracy Ever.]
It was the story of Fatima that inspired me to become a greater and more devoted Catholic. It entails the great miracle of the sun with a completely soaked countryside dried up in 10 minutes witnessed by 70,000 people whose wet and washed out clothing became as they were pressed and dried during the event. [The hundred year anniversary is just 3 days away.] The three children seers endured great penances (some of them self-inflicted) because of their vision of hell and Our Lady’s messages. It has been documented photographically that the youngest seer, Jacinta Marto, had an incorruptible body 30 years after her death. Lastly, there is the mystery of the three secrets especially the Third Secret that has kept us in suspense.
There are several books and movies about Fatima and even whole apostolates founded, dedicated and devoted to the story of Fatima. What else could be said about Fatima and the Third Secret that has not already been said? It would seem the topic has been exhausted. However, there is one more very important point about Fatima and the Third Secret, which, I believe, has been missed by everybody…Our Lady’s hidden message.
To find this hidden message, one must ask several questions which apparently have never been asked before based on the following information:
Sister Maria das Dores (Lucia de Santos), the oldest seer, once told Father Augustin Fuentes on December 26, 1957, “Father, the Blessed Virgin is very sad because no one heeds her message; neither the good nor the bad. The good continue on with their life of virtue and apostolate, but they do not unite their lives to the message of Fatima. Sinners keep following the road of evil because they do not see the terrible chastisement about to befall them. Believe me, Father, God is going to punish the world and very soon. The chastisement of heaven is imminent. In less than two years, 1960 will be here and the chastisement of heaven will come and it will be very great. Tell souls to fear not only the material punishment that will befall us if we do not pray and do penance but most of all the souls who will go to hell.” (1)
She clearly forewarned of a very great chastisement and it would occur within the next two years.
So what was it? What very great chastisement befell the world between the years 1958 and 1960?
Was Sister Lucia a false prophet?
Sister Lucia at approximately 40 years of age
From Our Lady, Lucia clearly prophesied the Spanish Civil War under Pope Pius XI and World War II under Pope Pius XII which the world experience just 13 years earlier.
Are we not to suppose that a greater chastisement will befall the world?
The Third Secret, written down by Sister Lucia in 1939, was given to the popes down through the years and was supposed to be revealed by 1960 or after Sister Lucia’s death, which ever happened first, because the world would better understand its contents in that time period. (2)
We know the Third Secret was not revealed by 1960. I say by 1960 since Sister Lucia was apparently not dead yet, which brings us to ask the questions:
Why did Our Lady say the secret was to be revealed in 1960 or Lucia’s death whichever comes first?
Did Our Lady know that Lucia would die around the year 1960?
If not, why bring up her death at all if 1960 was the time the world would understand the Secret?
All this is very interesting because pictures of the Lucia before 1960 appear to show a different person than the Lucia after that year. Did she die and it was kept hidden from public knowledge as an imposter played her role?
Be that as it may, some other important questions need to be asked:
Since Our Lady foreknew the chastisements of the wars in the 1930’s and 1940’s, how is it she didn’t foresee her Third Secret not being revealed in 1960?
Why did Our Lady say the secret was to be revealed by 1960 if She knew that it wouldn’t happen?
If She did foresee that it wouldn’t be revealed, why did She say that it would be best understood in 1960?
Thus from these questions, we will be able to ascertain a hidden message within Sister Lucia’s prophecy to Fr. Augustin Fuentes and what Our Lady said about the reading of the Third Secret in 1960.
Before we look at what is this hidden message, we need to hear what was said about the Third Secret from a key figure of the Church… Fr. Malachi Martin.
Father Malachi Martin
The late Fr. Malachi Martin, doctor, exorcist, linguist, and advisor to several “popes”, and made secret cardinal and bishop by Pope Pius XII, read the Third Secret in 1960 along with Cardinal Bea and John XXIII.
According to Fr. Malachi Malachi, John XXIII did not believe in Fatima and therefore refused to read the Secret because it was not in line with what John XXIII had in mind for the future of the Church. (3) In 1962, at the Second Vatican Council, John XXIII referred to the three seers of Fatima as “Prophets of Doom.”(4) This is interesting since John XXIII called Fatima, “the center of all Christian hopes.”(5) Yet, he refused to read the Third Secret in 1960.
Fr Malachi Martin gave clues to the Third Secret saying the Secret was far worse than even a nuclear war. It would fill confessionals and Churches and it did not involve the chastisements as the earlier wars. (6)
Before Fr. Malachi Martin died, he actually revealed the Third Secret to close friends and began a tell-all book on the New Vatican. With great sadness, he came to hold the sede vacant position after visiting Rome and being told by John Paul II that they did not share the same Faith. (7)
Eleven months after the death of Fr. Malachi Martin, Rome reveals what they say is the contents of the Third Secret, claiming it was about John Paul II and the attempt on his life in 1981. (8)
Since the world was told that it would better understand the meaning of the Third Secret in 1960, we know what Rome revealed in 2000 and their conclusion was a complete fabrication concocted to deflect the real Secret and its meaning.
What modernist Rome revealed was not shocking, would not fill any confessional as it didn’t, nor would there be any reason for John XXIII not to reveal what Rome actually revealed 40 years later, not to mention the fact that it was conveniently revealed after the death of Fr. Malachi Martin, the one man who could have and would have refuted their lie.
With this information, lets again look at the initial questions:
1. Since Our Lady foreknew the chastisements of the wars, how is it she didn’t foresee her Third Secret not being revealed in and by 1960?
Answer: She was fully aware that it would not be revealed and there is no reason to believe She didn’t know.
2. Why did Our Lady say that the secret was to be revealed by 1960 if She knew that it would not be done after saying the secret would be best understood by 1960?
Answer: This is the crux of the issue. Pope Pius XII had already stated that after him would come the deluge. (9) The 1958 conclave elects a documented modernist and Mason.
So Our Lady is pointing to the time. She already said a Great Chastisement would come between the years of 1958 and 1960. Fr. Malachi said it was not about a war as with earlier chastisements but far worse.
What is far worse than a nuclear war? What happened between the years of 1958 to 1960?
I submit the death of Pope Pius XII and the uncanonically elected Roncalli to the papacy was it.
What is the worst thing that could ever happen to the world? Would it not be what sedevancantists hold to be true? That the papacy has been usurped and the true faith was replaced by a counterfeit version, with millions of Catholics being led astray right into hell? Was not hell and saving souls what Fatima was all about?
The Third Secret did not specifically say anything about the conclave or an election of some antipope or Fr Malachi Martin would have become a sedevacantist immediately, but rather it indicated an apostasy from the top and the coming antichrist, which would initiate the Great Apostasy. How far at the top? If the very top (the pope) were actually an apostate, then he would not be a true pope. It is that simple.
Not revealing the Third Secret was in essence revealing it. It is the message but a hidden message, yet everybody seemed to miss that Our Lady would know that the Secret would not be revealed in 1960 saying it would better understood then. She was telling us what it is by not having it revealed.
If you don’t believe in the approved apparition of Fatima with a verifiable miracle witnessed by over 70,000 people, then you would be viewed by the faithful as faithless. Not revealing a Secret by the Blessed Virgin Mary when asked by her to do so, is saying to all the faithful that you simply don’t trust them to believe the Catholic Faith as it has always been preached. A true pope would not try to usurp the authority of Heaven and this is precisely what John XXIII did.
The truly faithful believe in Fatima because they know the miracles that have come from it could not possibly come from hell or else the Catholic Church already defected by approving it. Remember, the Church was fully aware of the contents of the Secret when She approved the apparition.
John XXIII claimed Fatima was the center of all hope and yet refused to reveal the Secret. Why? Was he truly faithless, a wicked man, or both?
One more thing as a little side note…Pope Pius XII consecrated specifically Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on July 7, 1952, fulfilling Our Lady’s promise. She never promised he would do it with all the bishops but that he would do it none-the-less. (10)
Consequently, Russia converted out of its Communist ways ending the persecution on her Christians and there was a certain period of peace. The nations that were annihilated into the Soviet Union have regained their sovereignty. (11)

- Fatima, The Great Sign, Tan, p. 89, by Francis Johnston, states that Lucia wrote after the 1952 Consecration of Russia, “I am grieved that it has not yet been carried out as Our Lady had asked. Patience! … Let us hope that Our Lady, as a good Mother, will be pleased to accept it.” The initial quote in 1917 stated by Our Lady, “In the end, …The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted.”
- Our Lady of Fatima, MacMillion, First Edition 1947, p. 226, by William Thomas Walsh, indicates the conversion of Russia referred by Our Lady was conversion out of Communism since this is the error that needed to be corrected by the papal consecration before it spreads to every nation.
Steve, I have a question concerning your position on the consecration of Russia. Why would Sister Lucia claim the attempts by JPII were not accepted if she already knew the consecration by Pius XII was accepted earlier? I am just trying to understand things better.
God bless.
Going back to the part about Lucia’s death, the picture of Lucia before and after 1960 clearly show different Lucia’s. See http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/g12htArt2_TwoSisterLucys.htm
Again, why would Our Lady say the secret was to be revealed by 1960 or Lucia’s death whichever comes first IF Lucia was going to live until 2005? That doesn’t make sense. Therefore, I have no reason to believe that the Lucia in JP2’s day was the real Lucia. I think the real Lucia died back around 1960. There’s no reason to believe that Rome isn’t evil enough to cover it up since they are evil enough to destroy the entire religion in Rome and lead literally billions to hell. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rome had Lucia murdered.
Ok. I understand that and have no problem with your thinking. Does that leave us to believe that the imposter Lucia first said JPII’s consecrations were not accepted and then later said they were? Or are the testimonies of the imposter Lucia totally made up?
To be quite honest, I don’t know for sure. I don’t trust anything that comes from the Novus Ordo much like the mainstream media. They present to us with what they want us to see and believe.
Also, is the conversion of Russia simply from Communism and not also to the Catholic faith?
According to William Thomas Walsh, the conversion of Russia referred by Our Lady was conversion out of Communism since this is the error that needed to be corrected by the papal consecration before it spreads to every nation.
I like the thought of, “Not revealing the Third Secret was in essence revealing it.” That is an interesting perspective.
I have been doing a lot of study lately on Robert Sungenis’ work on Geocentrism. His work has been seminal in changing my entire perspective on the cosmos, our place in the universe and even to help us understand Fatima. I found something very interesting listening to an interview with Sungenis that he noted that Benedict XVI had said. I was not sure if you were aware of it. However, he quoted Benedict as saying the following:
“And we knew that the relationship between the Church and the modern period was a bit in conflict, beginning with the error of the Church in the case of Galileo Galilei; we thought we could correct this wrong beginning and find the union between the Church and the best forces in the world in order to open up the future of humanity, to open true progress. So we were full of hope, of enthusiasm, and of the will to do our part for this thing.”
Sungenis’ point is that the church had come to a “we were wrong” mentality, which was ultimately behind what Vatican II was about. The “we were wrong” mentality on science opened the door to so many other, “what else are we wrong about?” questions. The Galileo effect thus opened the door to this modernist idea of not only modernizing the church in the areas of science but in the all areas.
However, at the end of his article, he makes this statement:
“But now we know that true science, not the popular science of Carl Sagan and Albert Einstein, supports the Church and her decision against Galileo. Lo and behold, we now find out that it was Vatican II’s “Galileo-incited” mentality that was wrong and the Church of 1616 that was right. We now need Vatican III to
clean up the mess that was caused by the faithless clerics that operated in the aftermath of Vatican II. Perhaps our new pope, whoever he will be, is the one to do that fine work, perhaps after he consecrates Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary – something which all the 20th century “Galileo-influenced” popes of the 20th century failed to do.”
I always heard the consecration was not done, so I will research your link that it was done. Here is the article I was referencing if you’re interested. Do you have any thoughts on Geocentrism?
I love the work Sungenis has done concerning geocentrism. I’ve emailed him several times over the subject and even sedevacantism. He’s always been a gentleman towards me even though we totally disagree on sedevacantism.
As for the consecration of Russia, Pope Pius XII most certainly did it in 1952.
Dear Steve,
Your article is fascinating. I wonder if the nature of the miracle itself is part of the secret. I mean, why a miracle involving abnormal movements of the sun? Indeed a terrifying, apocalyptic vision of the sun? Why not something more religious such as a vision of our Lady or Lord? Any thoughts? Thanks and God bless.
Thank you, Teresa!
Based on everything I’ve read and heard, the secret involves apostasy, a withdraw of grace from the world, and the antichrist. It’s bad! So bad, that John XXIII didn’t want to reveal it because it didn’t fit his vision of the Church. Also, he suspected the secret involved him as part of the evil. Malachi Martin asked to be laicized during Vatican 2, refused to do the new mass, and he spent the rest of his life revealing the evils of the Vatican including Vatican 2 which he repeatedly called heretical. He sincerely believed the Vatican was possessed by the devil by 1963. Keep in mind, he read the secret and this is how he spent the rest of his life. I’m aware of the negative stories about him, but regardless, I’m convinced that he was revealing what the secret was in his public writings and talks without actually saying so outright.
Thank you for your reply. Is there a particular Malachi Martin book you would recommend?
I have all of them, but have not read them all. He’s got a lot facts in his book Windswept House including the enthronement of satan in the Vatican which he claims is true. He calls his book “faction” because it’s a fictional book with 90% of actual events (facts).
His non-fiction book, Hostage to the Devil is pretty good but it’s R rated. He doesn’t pull any punches nor does he leave out any grotesque, blasphemous, and just disgusting things you’ll find with demonic possession.
Thank you.
I forgot to mention “The Jesuits” which tells you everything you’ll ever need to know about them.
Dear Steve,
Your article is very interesting and brings out several points not considered before.
Do you think it is possible that we will never have another Pope? I say this because of the difficulty humanly speaking of a valid Pope ever again being elected.
I think it’s possible but not probable. I think we are at the end.
If the Vatican II sect did give a false message to the world and the women who was portrayed as the good Sister was not Lucia wouldn’t Heaven give a sign to the faithful that would confirm this deception.?
Why would God do so if He already permitted it in the first place? Remember what St. Paul wrote in II Thess. “And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe a lie. That all may be judged, who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.”

Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe a lie. That all may be judged, who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.”
In order to have a valid Pope sit on Peter’s chair, Heaven would have to intervene. It has been close to sixty years since the Church has been eclipsed and Rome had lost the faith. Millions have perished since then, can they all be in hell because of false teachers or are they in Purgatory? I believe that “Invincible ignorance’ would come into play here. In St. Matthew Chapter 5 verse 20 ” For I tell you unless your justice abounds more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” I think God’s mercy is connected to his justice. If it weren’t the case I doubt that any Catholic could hold to the hope of Heaven. Many none Catholics attack the church I am not speaking of them, I am speaking of those who show no malice to Christ’s bride but have fallen into false teachings the Vatican II sect and segments of the deformers come to mind.
I don’t know where they are at. Keep in mind what the Bible, popes, and saints say about the Fewness of the Saved. Many of them were talking about Catholics only. Most true Catholics (at least in appearance) go to hell. Non-Catholics are presumed damned although we understand that God can save whomever and however He wants.
I personally don’t think another pope will ever exist because the Bible is pretty clear that when the Great apostasy occurs with antichrist reigning, it is then that the world is destroyed and Christ comes again. I think we are in the great apostasy and it’s all about to come to an end. Just my opinion.
The Material part of the Chastisement was that the confiscation of Church property by the Vat. II sect.?
I’m sure that’s part of it.
From what I can gather from Fr. Martin the removal of sanctifying grace happened as a result of the Church not complying with Heaven. This may be part of the “third secret”. Your book TKttA answers many questions. So I won’t go into it. Everyone on this site should purchase the book ( ” the workman is worthy of his meat” it gives a unique look at the where we are today.
Wow, thank you for the compliment, Jay! I really appreciate that!
