Jumping the Hurdles of Fatima

I’ve always been a believer of the Fatima apparitions. However, in the last 20 years or so, I’ve had to look at the events from another point of view to keep from having to abandon it all together. Things just didn’t add up, but that’s because I didn’t have all the facts.   

I found out that it was not Our Lady who said that the 3rd secret was to be read by the pope in 1960. This is huge considering there was no pope in 1960. I know Catholics who’ve abandoned Fatima over this one point. I gave the best answer I could think of in The Hidden Message of Fatima.

When Lucia fell seriously ill in 1943, the Leiria-Fatima bishop commanded her to write down the third part of the secret. Sister Lucia was with the Dorothean Sisters in Tuy, Spain, when all this happened.

There was an agreement with the Bishop of Leiria-Fatima that the document “would not be opened before 1960, or only after Lucia’s death.” Sister Lucia said recently that it was she and not Our Lady who set that date. [1] She probably set the date because she told Fr. Augustin Feuntes in 1957 that Our Lady had told her that the great chastisement will happen by 1960.

The next hurdle was the collegial consecration of Russia and its conversion.

On July 13^th 1917, Our Lady said to the Children, “You see Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them God wishes to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If they do what I will tell you, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace. The war is going to end. But if they do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that is the great sign God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its crimes by means of war, of hunger, and of persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this I come to ask the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart and the Communion of reparation on the first Saturdays. If they listen to my requests, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not she will scatter her errors through the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer [Jacinta later had more visions concerning a future Pope’s suffering], various nations will be annihilated. In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and it will be converted and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be kept.”

Many good Catholics have interpreted “Russia will be converted” to mean it will be converted to Catholicism.

I’ve never held to this interpretation. I believe Our Lady meant that it will be saved from Communism. The key words are “and there will be peace.” It would be naïve to think peace in this context meant total and absolute. There will never be that kind of peace on earth.

The context was about Communism and peace from it. Russia wasn’t Catholic before the Bolshevik Revolution and hadn’t been Catholic for a thousand years. Later apparitions and messages prove my point.

Sister Lucia continued to have visions in 1925 and 1929. It was in Tuy, Spain in 1929 where she received another message about Russia and the collegial consecration.

We must pay close attention to the words used by Our Lord, Our Lady, and Lucia.

The 1929 message: The moment has come for God to ask the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart. He promises to save Russia by this means. There are so many souls that the justice of God condemns for sins committed against me, that I have come to ask for reparation. Sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray.

The words of Our Lady were “save Russia” not “convert Russia.” I believe that Our Lady meant save it from Communism, which was the cause for the persecution of Catholics. Many of them were put in gulags and suffered greatly. Churches were destroyed and Catholicism was outlawed. Nations were annihilated into the Soviet Union, such as Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, and ten other nations. See Our Lady’s Fatima Message and the Consecration of Russia

Lucia wrote in 1929, “Later on , through an intimated communication, Our Lord complained: ‘They have not chosen to heed my request … As the King of France, they will regret it and then will do it, but it will be late. Russia will already have spread her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions against the Church. The Holy Father will have much to suffer.’”

According to Lucia, Our Lord was clearly talking about Russia falling into Communism and spreading it around the world. 

In 1935, Lucia wrote, “Our Lord was very displeased because His request had not been attended to and I made this fact known to the Bishop in a letter. Until now, Our Lord has asked nothing more from me than prayers and sacrifices. From an intimated conversation with Him, it seems that He is ready to show mercy towards Russia as He promised five years ago and which He wishes so much to save.”

Of course, Our Lord desires that Russia become Catholic again, but He desires the whole world to be Catholic. Why not consecrate the whole world and make it all Catholic? Why just Russia? This makes no sense and that’s because the message concerns Communism, which is one of the greatest threats to Catholicism. It was never about converting Russia to Catholicism.

In 1936, it was Lucia who said, “He would not convert Russia without the Holy Father making that consecration.” She wrote that Jesus told her: “Pray much for the Holy Father. He will do it, but it will be late. Nevertheless, the Immaculate Heart of Mary will save Russia. It was has been entrusted to her.” [2]

Jesus twice uses the words “save Russia.” Our Lady used the word “converted” twice in 1917, but used the word “save” in 1929. What was truly meant when Our Lady said, “Russia will be converted?” If it’s the Catholic Faith, then I believe it’s a false apparition. I might be going out on a limb here, but it just ain’t happening. Russia will never be a Catholic nation again.   

In 1952 when Pope Pius XII consecrated Russia without all the bishops, Lucia stated, “I am grieved that it has not 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 end result was that Russia converted out of Communism. The nations that were annihilated into the Soviet Union resumed their sovereignty. A certain period of peace came to those Catholics from their once persecution from the Communists. Russia did spread its errors to China where Catholics are persecuted to this very day.

Because the consecration was late and not done correctly, the full effect of peace from Communism was not realized.

To believe in Fatima, it seems this is the only logical interpretation. Nothing else works unless you don’t believe we’re in the great apostasy and Catholicism will resume some of its glory in the future. The problem is the time period. It’s been over a hundred years and it’s getting worse, not better. Belief that Russia will be converted to the Catholic faith is futile.

Our Lady said Russia will convert, but there is no true pope to make the consecration correctly and we’re in the great apostasy. It would be extremely odd that a whole nation would convert to Catholicism while no other Catholic nation exists and when the Church itself goes through its great dark night of betrayal from its own. Not to mention, Russia is staunchly “Russian Orthodox.”

The last hurdle is “In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be kept.” I don’t know what dogma that Our Lady is referring to. It would seem that she was referring to the whole Catholic Faith. Perhaps, “always be kept” simply means always kept from the Masonic government (which took over in 1910) trying to wipe it out completely and/or kept free from being outlawed as Communism did to it in Russia.

It would seem the fake Lucia made the claim but there’s no verifiable evidence that Our Lady ever said the “pope of 1960” was to read the secret.

Dr. Chojnowski’s Sister Lucy Truth Website

In November of 2017, Dr. Peter Chojnowski established Sister Lucy Truth incorporated in order to investigate the life and identity of Sister Lucia dos Santos of Fatima.

With the use of the most sophisticated facial recognition programs available, along with the accumulated testimony of plastic surgeons, orthodontists, forensic artists, private investigators, handwriting analysts, and facial recognition experts, the website presents the evidence that the woman portrayed to the world as “Sister Lucy,” from her first public appearance on May 13, 1967 to her death on February 13, 2005, was not the same person as Sister Lucy, Seer of Fatima and Visionary who predicted the Miracle of the Sun on October 13, 1917.

CONFIRMED: Novus Ordo’s “Sister Lucy of Fatima” was an Impostor

I was given the news a few hours ago. Novus Ordo Watch has the story here.

Although many of us already believed this Lucia was an imposter by the pictures, I found it most curious that Our Lady asked that the 3rd Secret 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. [1]

This seems to imply that Our Lady knew that Lucia would die around 1960 but the world wouldn’t know, which is why Our Lady gives a year. Why bring up her death at all if 1960 was the time the world would understand the Secret?

Now we know that an imposter most certainly played the role as the pictures post-1960 indicate.

Why the need for an imposter? To keep the 3rd Secret of an apostasy of Rome a secret as the imposter would confirm and help validate the Vatican 2 popes and the counterfeit religion of Rome.

Our Lady’s Fatima Message and the Consecration of Russia

According to Lucia, the message of Our Lady:

“When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that it is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its crimes by means of war, of hunger, and of persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father.

“To prevent this I come to ask the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of reparation on the first Saturdays. If they listen to my requests, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not she will scatter her errors through the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyrized, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. 6 [Footnote from Walsh’s book states: Explaining this to me in July, 1946, Sister Maria das Dores (Lucia) made the prophecy even more specific, saying that Our Lady desired that Russia (not “the world” as in many inaccurate accounts) be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart by the Pope and all the bishops in the world on one special day. If not, every country in the world without exception will be chastised “by the errors of Russia.”]

“In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.

“In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be kept.” [Our Lady of Fatima, MacMillion, First Edition 1947, p. 83, by William Thomas Walsh.]

William Thomas Walsh continued on p. 226 with a conversation with Lucia:

Sister Lucia stated, “What Our Lady wants is that the Pope and all the bishops in the world shall consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart on one special day. If this is done, she will convert Russia and there will peace. If it is not done, the errors of Russia will spread through every country in the world.”

“Does this mean, in your opinion, that every country, without exception, will be overcome by Communism?”

“Yes.”

A Summary of Facts:

1. The errors of Russia Our Lady was referring to was Communism.

2. The Church did suffer from wars and persecutions from Communism.

3. The good were martyred in Russia.

4. Pope Pius XII most certainly suffered.

5. Communism did spread to several countries, but not throughout the whole world.

6. Some countries were annihilated by Communism such as Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, and ten other nations.

7. Our Lady said the Holy Father WILL consecrate Russia but didn’t say that he would do it with all the Bishops on one special day as She wished.

8. Pope Pius XII specifically consecrates Russia to the Immaculate Heart on July 7, 1952. http://www.1260.org/Mary/Vatican/Vatican_Pius_XII_Consecration_1952-07-07_en.htm

9. Absolute peace was never promised but a certain period of peace was granted when the dozen or so nations regained their sovereignty.

10. The Immaculate Heart of Mary always triumphs!

The Hidden Message of Fatima

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)
