Catholics might lose charitable status for not offering communion to everyone

by Hilary White

LONDON, November 7, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Conservative Party MP has accused the government’s Charity Commission of attempting to suppress Christianity after the group denied charitable status to the Plymouth Brethren, a small denomination of conservative evangelicals. MP Charlie Elphicke has said that the Charity Commission has stepped outside its mandate telling the Brethren that their religion is “not necessarily for the public good”.
In a letter to the community, the Commission wrote of a tribunal decision that found “there is no presumption that religion generally, or at any more specific level, is for the public benefit, even in the case of Christianity or the Church of England”.
The Plymouth Brethren, of which there are about 16,000 adherents in Britain, have said they intend to pursue their dispute to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg if necessary. They have been embroiled in the dispute with the Commission for seven years since the Commission refused charitable status to one of the group’s churches in Devon. The group engages in street preaching, distributing bibles and visits hospital patients. These activities, said Garth Christie, an Elder in the group, more than qualifies them for charitable status under the “advancement of religion” clauses.
The matter became public when the Public Administration Select Committee discovered the letter as part of materials released as part of their investigation into the decision-making processes of the Commission.
The Charity Commission alleges that the group’s rule of only giving Holy Communion to full members means that their services are not open to all, a charge which the Brethren deny. The Brethren say that their public services are offered to everyone regardless of religious affiliation. If it is upheld, the rule could be extended to the Catholic Church which also officially restricts Communion reception to members.
The letter has promoted Elphicke, a member of the Select Committee, to call the Commission’s policies “anti-religion” and said that it is more evidence that it is a waste of public funds. Members of the Plymouth Brethren were giving evidence to the committee and Elphicke asked, if they thought the Commission was “actively trying to suppress religion in the UK, particularly the Christian religion”.
Christie responded, “I think we would share those concerns.” He agreed with Elphicke’s suggestion the Charity Commission’s decision could be seen as the “thin end of the wedge” with concern to other small religious groups.
Elphicke told the Brethren representatives, “I think they [the Commission] are committed to the suppression of religion and you are the little guys being picked on to start off a whole series of other churches who will follow you there.”
Bernard Jenkin, a Conservative MP and Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party said the Commission seems to be using the group as a test case to establish the meaning of the public benefit requirement in charity law.
“Picking a relatively vulnerable organisation and putting you through huge time and expense is a rotten way to decide what charity law means,” Jenkin said.

Whats REALLY going on with the 3rd Secret-pg 3



     Precious insights into God's predilection for the Immaculate Heart of Mary were given to Sister Lucia at Pontevedra, Spain in 1925 and again at Tuy, Spain in 1929.  On 10 December 1925 she was an 18 year old postulant in the convent of the Sisters of Saint Dorothy in Pontevedra.  That evening she had just returned to her cell after supper when she was visited by Our Lady and the Child Jesus.  She writes of herself in the third person:

     On December 10, 1925, the Most Holy Virgin appeared to her, and by Her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was the Child Jesus.  The Most Holy Virgin rested Her hand on her shoulder, and as She did so, She showed her a heart encircled by thorns, which She was holding in Her other hand.  At the same time, the Child said: 'Have compassion on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce It at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.'

     This image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, first shown to Lucia on 10 December 1925 at Pontevedra, is the same as that which Jesus revealed to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque on 16 June 1675 at Paray-Le-Monial in France.  Jesus had explained to Margaret Mary that the flames depicted his burning love for souls and the thorns depicted his pain that his love was neither appreciated nor returned.  Consider the insight of John Paul II that "when Jesus on the Cross said: 'Woman, behold your son (John 19:26), in a new way he opened his Mother's Heart, the Immaculate Heart, and revealed to it the new dimensions and extent of the love to which she was called in the Holy Spirit by the power of the sacrifice of the Cross..."

Given that insight, does this vision of the Immaculate Heart of Mary not reveal that the hearts of Jesus and Mary beat as one in the predilection of the Father? Thus, while the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary certainly includes the assertion in the Vatican’s  The Message of Fatima that “The Heart open to God, purified by contemplation of God, is stronger than guns and weapons of every kind, “and that  “thanks to her Yes, God could become man in our world and remains so for all time.”  Its significance within the whole cloth of the first and second parts of the Secret of Fatima and the subsequent visions and messages given to Sister Lucia at Pontevedra and Tuy comprehends much more.

Mary told the seers at Fatima that God …punish [es] the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father…To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays…In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.  The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.

Given God’s predilection for her Immaculate Heart, one can conclude that the conversion of Russia will occur by the power of the Holy Spirit given to Russians in response to the requested consecration of Russia and the First Saturday devotions, both to her Immaculate Heart.  From such triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary a period of peace will be granted to the world.

     Our Lord, himself, explained this to Lucia as she stated in a hand-written letter to Father Goncalves on 18 May 1936.  As Adolph Hitler was then preparing Germany for an aggressive war and Joseph Stalin was fomenting civil war in Spain, Fr. Goncalves had written asking Lucia concerning the consecration of Russia.  She replied:
 Intimately I have spoken to Our Lord about the subject, and not too long ago I asked Him why He would not convert Russia without the Holy Father making that consecration?
[Jesus replies.]’Because I want My whole Church to acknowledge that consecration as a triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that it may extend its cult later on, and put the devotion to This Immaculate Heart beside the devotion to My Sacred Heart.’
 [Lucia then pleads with Jesus.] By my God, the Holy Father probably won’t believe me, unless You, Yourself move him with a special inspiration.
[Jesus.] ‘The Holy Father. Pray very much for the Holy Father.  He will do it, but it will be late.  Nevertheless the Immaculate Heart of Mary will save Russia.  It has been entrusted to Her.’ [Emphasis added]
     On 13 June 1929 both Jesus and Mary appeared to Lucia in the convent chapel at Tuy and told her that the time had come for her to communicate Heaven’s plan for peace revealed at Fatima to the Holy Father.  She did in at least two letters to Pope Pius XI through her spiritual director and through her bishop, but received no response.  Jesus, himself, confirmed both his vicar’s receipt of this plan for peace from Lucia, and His Holiness’ failure to comply, in an apparition to Lucia at the little seaside chapel in Rianjo where she was recuperation from a lingering illness in August 1931.  Lucia explains this in a letter to her Bishop written 29 August 1931:
     My confessor orders me to inform Your Excellency of what took place a little while ago between the Good Lord and myself:  as I was asking God for the conversion of Russia, Spain and Portugal, it seemed to me that His Divine Majesty said to me: ‘You console Me a great deal by asking Me for the conversion of those poor nations.  Ask it also of My Mother frequently, saying: Sweet Heart of Mary, be the salvation of Russia, Spain, Portugal Europe and the whole world.  At other times say: By your pure and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, obtain for me the conversion of Russia, Spain, Portugal, Europe and the entire world.
Make it known to my ministers that given they follow the example of the King of France in the delaying the execution of My request, that they will follow him into misfortune.  It will never be too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary.[Emphasis added.]

      Lucia reiterated the consequences of His Holiness’ inaction in a letter to Fr. Goncalves written on 21 January 1935: “Regarding the matter of Russia, I think that it would please Our Lord very much if you worked to make the Holy Father comply with His wishes.  About three years ago 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.”  A year later, as part of the letter to Fr. Goncalves detailing the apparition at Tuy, Lucia repeats Jesus severe warning of August 1931:  “Later on, by means of an interior communication, Our Lord complainingly said to me: ‘They did not want to heed My request.  Like the King of France they will repent and do so, but it will be late.  Russia will already have spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church.  The Holy Father will have much to suffer!”

On the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, 17 June, and again on 28 August, 1689, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque wrote to Mother de Saumaise, her prioress at the Visitation Monestery of Paray-le-Monial, to have a message the saint had received from Jesus requesting that the King consecrate France to His most Sacred Heart, delivered to him.

  Margaret Mary expressed Heaven’s wish that Jesus’ Sacred Heart receive “the consecration and homage of the king and the entire court.  Moreover, this divine Heart wishes to become the protector and defender of his sacred person against all his enemies visible and invisible, to defend him against them, and assure his salvation by this means.” 

The saint added that Jesus had chosen that the Jesuits deliver this message to Louis XIV and spread this devotion to His Sacred Heart, specifically mentioning a Father de la Chaise because of his influence over Louis’ heart.  Historians surmise that Fr. De le Chaise either refused to deliver the message to Louis, or was not willing to advocate that the king comply, or that Louis XIV soul was not sufficiently humble to comprehend the greatness being offered.  It is certain that this initiative of Jesus’ Sacred Heart was not understood and Margaret Mary’s admonitions were of no avail.  There can be no doubt of the consequences of the refusal of kings Louis XIV through XVI to comply with Heaven’s will regarding the consecration of France and devotion to Jesus’ Sacred Heart.  One hundred years tot eh day after Margaret Mary penned her first letter to her prioress, the French peasants, led by atheist philosophers and Masonic anti-Church propagandists, overthrew the Catholic monarchy and proclaimed their new National Assembly to be the legitimate government of France.  The subsequent terror included the suppression and fanatical persecution of the Catholic Church, the French nobility and the execution of King Louis XVI on 21 January 1793.
While the French revolution could not have happened without the well-known injustices callously inflicted on those outside the privileged and elitist classes within the nobility and even within the church during the eighteenth century, one must consider how Catholic France fell to such moral, spiritual, material and social misery.  Although that question is beyond the scope of this talk, the texts of Heaven’s messages to both Saint Margaret Mary and to the seers of Fatima strongly suggest that in the century following the death of Louis XIV in 1701 France was “deprived of the increase of extraordinary graces and miraculous help of the Sacred Heart” and was unable to cope with the internal “frivolousness, deadly errors, cowardice and betrayals which soon brought about its ruin.”  The theological heresies, the Masonic Counter-Church and a “satanic hatred against God, against Christ and against His Church” were thus able to exploit the wide-spread misery to prepare the revolution.

     By a parity of reasoning the same inferences can be made regarding the disastrous consequences for the world and for the Church of the failure of the succession of Roman pontiffs from Pius XI to John Paul II to comply with Heaven’s request, although there are good reason to conclude that John Paul I would have complied, but for his sudden, tragic and mysterious death.  Albino Cardianl Luciani of Venice had visited Sister Lucia in Coimbra privately for several hours in 1977 just months before he became Pope John Paul I.  Lucia requested the private visit after Luciani had celebrated mass for the cloistered Carmelites, Cardinals having access to the seer without Vatican permission.  We don’t know if or how much of the third part of the Secret of Fatima Lucia revealed to the Cardinal, but in early 1978 the usually jovial prelate explained his apparent pensiveness and absorption to his brother and sister-in-law, Edoardo and Antonietta Luciani, by saying that “I was just thinking of what Sister Lucia told me at Coimbra…The Secret, it’s terrible.”  Luciani held Lucia in high esteem and it is probable that he would have acted on Heaven’s Plan for Peace, had he lived.

     Given that Jesus’ “ministers” have failed to “heed My request” proposed at Fatima in 1917 and made at Tuy in 1929, one could conclude that they also have been “deprived of the increase of extraordinary graces and miraculous help” from Heaven to prevent the “satanic hatred agains God, against Christ and against His Church” of its enemies, visible and invisible, within and without the Church , from influencing pivotal decisions and initiatives that have yielded tragic consequences for the Church and the world.

     Had Pius XI or Pius XII obeyed Heaven’s request for the consecration and First Saturday reparatory devotions communicated through Sister Lucia in 1929, the Queen of Heaven would have been graced to convert Russia and lead that nation to convert the world to Christ.  World War II would have been avoided and the world would have been blessed with a period of peace.  Instead Russia still spreads her errors throughout the world, souls are lost to occultism, atheism and sin of all kinds, and we live in a state of continuous war.  Further, a sad a disappointed Jesus had warned Lucia in 1931 that if his “ministers” were late in performing the consecration and leading the Church in the First Saturday reparatory devotions, they would suffer the same fate as the Kings of France.  It appears to many, including myself, that Jesus’ warning has been and will continue to be fulfilled in the persons of our pontiffs.  Had they obeyed would not God have blessed their sowing with super-abundant fruit and opposed the contrary efforts of all their enemies, visible and invisible, within and without the Church?
     In making Peter and his successors his vicars on earth Christ has irrevocably delegated to them his authority over all people, including those in schism or accepting heretical and even atheistic and pagan beliefs.  As Leo XIII explained in his encyclical of 25 May 1899, Annum Sacrum, the whole can be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus: “Indeed the empire of Jesus Christ does not extend to Catholic nations only…But the power of Christ extends also over all those who live outside the Christian faith; it is thus an unquestionable truth that the whole human race is under the power of Jesus Christ.”  With faith in Jesus our pontiffs could follow Peter and in obedience to Heaven’s request, pay out their nets for a catch.  As Peter’s nets were filled with fish then, today many souls would be saved, Russia would be converted and the world would be blessed with a period of peace.  But Satan’s hand is clearly revealed working against compliance through the complexities, betrayals and intrigues that have confronted our pontiffs through the last century and into the present.

     Pope Pius XI began his reign on 6 February 1922 by following the Ostpolitik begun by Benedict XV understandably seeking to cooperate with the Soviet Government to mitigate the Russian misery following the Great War and the Bolshevik revolution and to secure the safety of both Orthodox believers and the Roman Catholic Church in Russia.  In early 1930 the pontiff received but remained incredulous to Sister Lucia’s communications of Heaven’s request for the consecration and First Saturday devotions.  He believed that such a serious request, if from Heaven, would have been communicated directly to him.  Moreover, what was suggested “seemed to him contrary to his designs.  The direction of the Church was his business – he knew, better than anybody else, the road to follow!  But after 15 years of vainly trusting in Vatican diplomacy to accomplish these ends amid the communist terror, genocide, persecution of the Church and the torture and murder of thousands of priests and bishops, and imprisonment or death of millions of the faithful, his holiness published on 19 March 1937 an incisive encyclical against communism, Divini Redemptoris.  After detailing the methodical persecutions in Russia, Mexico and Spain as barbarous, intrinsically perverse and diabolical, the pontiff repeated several times that “communism directed by Moscow” accomplished these atrocities which “are the natural fruits of a system which is lacking all interior restraints.”  He concluded with an unambiguous order to the Church:  “Communism is intrinsically perverse, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever.”  The pontiff urged his Bishops that, following the teaching of Christ to his apostles, they must lead the fight against demonic Communism by fostering and intensifying “the spirit of prayer joined with Christian penance.” 

     But Satan works his mystery of iniquity against Jesus’ Church beyond organized communism.  His holiness had finally come to see the demonic behind other enemies of the Church in the systematic attempt to drive God from the hearts and minds of the Mexican people in the 1920’s.  In 1926 the Freemason Plutarco Calles became president.  He was fanatically anti-Catholic and determined to exterminate Catholicism by legislating and strictly enforcing the anti-Catholic provisions of the new Constitution of 1917, and adding others of his own.  In 1926, Calles regime launched a new offensive to bury the Church.  He wrote: Now there must be a psychological revolution.  We must penetrate and take hold of the minds of the children and the youth because they must belong to the revolution.  The Catholic schools were shut down, the congregations expelled, Christian trade unions forbidden numerous churches confiscated and profaned or destroyed.  Public school attendance became mandatory atheism was officially taught, and religious symbols such as medals, crucifixes, statues and pictures were forbidden even in private.  Catholic public figures were assassinated and girls leaving church were kidnapped, imprisoned, even raped.  The Archbishop of Baltimore complained that U.S. friendship has encouraged Calles to destroy the idea of God in the minds and hearts of millions of Mexicans.  On 28 May 1926 Calles received the Masonic medal of merit from the hands of the Great Commander of the Masonic Scottish rite in Mexico.  On 12 July 1926, International Masonry accepted responsibility for everything that was happening in Mexico, and prepared to mobilize all its forces for the methodic, integral application of the agreed upon program for this country.

     By 1927 hundreds of priests and laymen had been killed and 20,000 Cristeros combatants took up arms in defense of the faith.  Their number rose to 30,000 by the end of the year, and to 50,000 by 1929. Beginning with little, they armed themselves with captured weapons and horses.  The people supplied their material needs and the fight became a crusade!  In 1927 they defeated the government forces in several battles.  By November the US military attaché’ began to worry about the success of the “fanatics,” as 40% of them were now equipped with captured Mauser rifles.  The Cristiada was a succession of miracles.

     In 1928 Mexico’s rural population was sent to concentration camps where famine and epidemics decimated them.  Those who resisted were massacred.  Harvests and flocks were seized, grazing land burned, and villages destroyed by the thousands.  Despite this scorched earth policy the Cristeros stood fast like latter-day Maccabees.

     By 1929, Cristeros victories forced the government to abandon the rural war.  Three-fourths of inhabitable Mexico was in the hands of the Cristeros.  They had won military victory, and in the United States Herbert Hoover, who was not a Mason, was elected president!  Then the Cristeros learned that secret negotiations between the Mexican government and the Vatican had relulted in an accord.  On 21 June the Mexican episcopate signed a resolution of the conflict with the ruling power.  The accord provided for immediate, unconditional cease fire and the resumption of the public worship began the next day.  It restored the same situation that prevailed in 1926 with all the anti-Catholic laws then in effect, including the registration of priests!  In the text, the Cristeros were called fanatics directed by a few third-rate priests; their revolt was an error, imprudent, even a sin.  They must lay down their arms under pain of excommunication…
The commander in chief of the Cristeros, Jesus Degollado, addressed his troops in a voice breaking with sorrow:
His Holiness the Pope, by the intermediary of the most excellent Apostolic Nuncio, has decided, for reasons which are unknown to us but which, as Catholics, we accept, that public worship will be resumed tomorrow without the law being changed…This arrangement…has wrested from us that which is most noble and most holy on our flag, at the moment when the Church has declared that she will resign herself to what she has obtained…Consequently, the National Guard assumes responsibility for the conflict…As for ourselves as men, we have a satisfaction that no one can take from us; the National Guard does not disappear defeated by its enemies, but rather abandoned by the very ones who were to be the first to receive the fruit of our sacrifices and abnegation!  Ave, Christ!  Those who for You are going to humiliation, to exile, and, perhaps, to an inglorious death,…with the most fervent love salute You, and once more proclaim You as King of our country.

Six thousand Cristeros obeyed, and were immediately massacred.  In three years, they had lost 5,000 men in combat!  The Mexican episcopate decreed the excommunication of the Cristeros priests, but those 180 who had not been killed during the war had already been martyred…all was lost.
     The new president, the Masonic lawyer Fortes Gil, rejoiced.  At the summer solstice banquet he acknowledged his astonishment at the unconditional capitulation of a victorious army, and stated his intention to continue the fight: The fight did not begin yesterday.  The fight is eternal.  The fight began 20 centuries ago.
(Adapted from M. Olivier Lelibre,  The Cristeros, Catholic Soldiers of Christ)

    By 1935 Pius XI had earned by bitter experience that it was the same enemy of God and his Church that drove both the communists in Europe and the Freemasons in Mexico.  After Divini Redemptoris it was unthinkable for any in the Church to collaborate with communism or freemasonry in any undertaking whatsoever.

     Following the aging pontiff’s death his Secretary of State, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, was elected to succeed him on 2 March 1939, taking the name Pius XII.  Pope Pacelli had learned on the job the reality of communism.  But after Adolph Hitler led his Nazis to attack Russia on 22June 1941 the pontiff was required to temper his leadership against communism at least partly because the American President, freemason Franklin Delano Roosevelt, pressured him that Stalin was needed as an ally against Hitler.  On 3 Sept 1941 Roosevelt urged Pius XII that the Soviets had changed for the better:

The churches in Russia are open.  I believe there is a real possibility that Russia may, as a result of the present conflict, recognize freedom of religion in Russia, although, of course, without recognition of any official intervention on the part of any Church in education or political matters within Russia…I believe that this Russian dictatorship is less dangerous to the safety of other nations than is the German form of dictatorship.

     Because communism was founded on atheism and hatred for Christ, Pius knew it was an enemy of His Church with whom accord or coexistence was possible and after the war he strictly forbade any Vatican relations with it. Pius XII died of a lingering illness on 9 October 1958 and Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was elected Pope John XXIII on 28 October. John XXIII immediately reversed the direction of Pius XII politically by enthusiastically embracing Ostpolitik, or dialoguing with the Communist eastern European countries, and theologically by introducing what he considered to be a vital aggorimento, or updating of the Church to adapt to modern times.

     On 17 August 1959 Pope John received an envelope containing the third part of the Secret of Fatima which he read several times both on his own and with the help of Portuguese translators.  Its contents were shared with the leaders of the Holy Office, the Secretariat of State, and a few others.  He said he preferred to leave to others the appraisal of it, writing only a personal note that was resealed it in the envelope with Lucia’s letter and kept on his writing table until his death.  In fact by withholding the long-awaited and eagerly anticipated third part of the Secret from the Church and the world Pope John had de facto judged it unworthy of publication.  The consequences of that papal decision are incalculable, but surely include a further loss “of extraordinary graces and miraculous help” so desperately needed to guide the Church in its conflict with those forces, visible and invisible, that are led by Satan’s cunning. 

     On 25 November 1961 the pontiff received birthday greetings from the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev praising his recent expressions of hope for world peace “as well as to the solution of international problems thanks to frank negotiations.”  In joyful response Pope John privately expressed his belief that “Something is moving in the world. The Lord is using the humble instrument that I am to budge history.  Today we have had a sign of Divine Providence.”

     Pope John felt inspired to call for a new ecumenical council that he hoped would be the occasion for a new springtime, a “New Pentecost” in the Church, to which he, ardently desired that members of the Russian Orthodox Church attend.  To that end Cardinal Eugene Tisserant for the Vatican and Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Nikodim for the Soviet Union concluded the “Vatican-Moscow Agreement” or “Metz Pact” at Metz, France on 18 August 1962.  In consideration of the Soviets sending two Russian Orthodox observers to the council, the Vatican agreed tha the Second Vatican Council would abstain from any consideration of Communism and Russia.  “Ever since that time the Holy See considers itself as still bound by the engagements taken by John XXIII.  Communism is no longer ever mentioned by name in any pontifical document.”

    On 11 October 1962 Pope John opened his council with a joyful and upbeat address, but included an explicit rejection of warnings such as those of Sister Lucia: “We feel that We must disagree with these prophets of doom, who are always forecasting worse disasters, as though the end of the world were at hand.”  Tragically, the prophet to which he refers is not Sister Lucia to whom she appeared and spoke, but the “Woman clothed with the sun,” our August Queen of heaven and earth, of angels and men!

     On 11 April 1963 John XXIII signed Pacem in Terris, his internationalist encyclical on World Peace, in which “he officially recognized the ‘charter of the rights of man’ of the United Nations, and he extolled a world community, of liberty equality and fraternity” wherein ideal societies of the future would “constructed on the good will of all men.  And at the same time, the Pope practically lifted the prohibition of collaborating with the communists.”  Moreover, he wrote that such collaboration “may possibly provide the occasion or even the incentive for their conversion to the truth. “  Pope John here officially promoted collaboration with Communists, accepting them as reasonable men of natural moral integrity.  He might have said the same of Freemasonry. It appears that the pontiff here fails to fully grasp or appreciate the demonic spirit and the perverse nature of a totalitarian system such as communism, by whatever name it may call itself from time to time that demands the unconditional and uncompromising personal commitment of a de facto religion.  This is surely because of the diabolical disorientation of the mystery of iniquity.  That is why we must pray for our Pope as never before, or I believe errors will continue. 

One cannot logically separate a communist from the errors of communism by whatever name they may call themselves as if a communist or a freemason were merely an atheist with strong socialistic or intellectual convictions.  For a communist believes the ultimate good is the dictatorship of the proletariat, or other totalitarian regime, and all means that achieve that end are good. Morally-ethical categories are replaced by political expediency.  As Harry and Bonaro Overstreet reported in their seminal study of communism in 1958, the necessary lie, slander, intimidation of the masses, and the liquidation of oppositional groups and hostile classes must not only be obediently carried out, but conscientiously accepted as the right thing to do by party members.  In 1957 Margarita Aliger confessed during a conference of Soviet writers in Moscow that she had sometimes substituted “morally-ethical categories for political categories…[whereas] All the work of a Soviet writer is political work, and to accomplish it honorably is possible only when one follows firmly the party line and party discipline.”  Hence, moral integrity consists in total personal dedication to use all means, including deception, liquidation, imprisonment, violence and terror, to achieve the ultimate good.  A party member is forbidden to love his enemies and is obligated to define as enemies “all who are outside the ideological pale.” Cannot the same be said of the Freemason Calles in Mexico in the 1920’s? 

   

Whats REALLY going on with the 3rd Secret? pg.6


 In the late 1962 Pope Roncalli suffered a severe hemorrhage.  On 17 May 1963 he was confined to bed and on 3 June he died, setting the stage for a new conclave to choose his successor.  Giovanni Battista Montini was chosen and took the name of Paul VI.  From his coronation as Paul VI on 21 June 1963 Pope Paul eagerly pursued communications with Russian communists, receiving in private audiences both of the Russian Orthodox observers to the Second Vatican Council. 

     Pope Paul published his first encyclical, Ecclesiam Suam, on 6 August 1964, while Vatican II was still in session, “to demonstrate with increasing clarity how vital it is for the world, and how greatly desired by the Catholic Church, that the two should meet together, and get to know and love one another…Our task is to serve society.”  While Pope Paul clearly articulated the perverse nature of atheistic communism, but not Freemasonry; he held to his conviction that future dialogue may be possible.  If this was a consequence of diabolical disorientation do we all not share responsibility to pray for our Pope and because of our sins?  On 15 September 1964 Monsignor Agostino Casaroli signed an agreement for  Paul VI with the communist Hungarian government which stipulated that Bishops named by Rome would be sworn “to the people and the constitution” of the communist state, followed by similar modus Vivendi with Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Bulgaria.  On 30 January 1967 Pope Paul met privately in the Vatican with Soviet President Nicolas Podgorny accompanied by Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrei Gromyko.  By 1975 the pope and Gromyko had met privately several additional times.  Nevertheless:

     In the 1970’s the Bolshevist persecution against Catholics did not diminish at all.  One could read the following observations in the ‘Chronicles of the Catholic Church in Lithuania: ‘It seems to us that a dialogue with the Church is needed by the Soviet authority only so that the Vatican will keep silence about the persecution of Catholics in the USSR in hope of a betterment of the faithful’s  situation.  The dialogue is being used to deceive world public opinion that in the USSR freedom of religion is preserved.

The blood of thousands of Catholic Bishops, priests, nuns, brothers and millions of the faithful in communist totalitarian regimes were witnesses to this reality.

Thus it appears that the extraordinary graces promised by the Madonna at Fatima were as desperately needed by Jesus’ vicars in the 20th Century as by the French monarchs in the 100 years leading to the godless revolution that dragged Louis XVI and countless others including bishops, priests and religious to the guillotine.

     On the eve of the closing of session two of the Second Vatican Council, 3 December 1963, Bishop de Proenca, Sigaud delivered to the Cardinal Secretary of State petitions to the pope by 200 Council Fathers for a special schema to address “errors of Marxism, Socialism and Communism” which were ignored.  In October 1964 Bishop Yu Pin, Rector of the Catholic University at Formosa, demanded minimally, on behalf of 70 Bishops, a solemn declaration on Communism, which was ignored.  On 9 October1965 Bishop de Proenca Sigaud and Bishop Marcel Lefebvre delivered the petition of 334 bishops to the council’s secretariat general “demanding condemnation of Communism” which was put aside!  “Everyone knew of the existence of that petition.”  It is fair to conclude that, per the Vatican-Moscow agreement at Metz, the issues of Communism and Russia were withheld from the consideration of the Council Fathers.

     Any inspiration of the Council Fathers by the Holy Spirit on the grave moral issues of the effects of Communist totalitarianism o the church and souls in communist regimes was thereby purposely foreclosed by those who expected a new springtime and a new Pentecost within the Church.  Can one be surprised that it did not happen?  That : “Instead the dark and frigid winter arrived.”

     It is probable that Ostpolitik and the Vatican-Moscow agreement, the fear of provoking a formal schism within the church, the fear of exasperating relations with the schismatic Orthodox churches and the Chinese Patriotic church were factors in John Paul II’s belief expressed on       1 August 1984 to Father Pierre Caillon, a retired professor of philosophy and an expert on the question of the papal consecration of Russia, that he could not consecrate Russia apart by itself alone, but that Heaven would be satisfied that he had done all that could be done in the practical circumstances.  One can only speculate what additional factors may have influenced the aging pontiff’s acquiescence to the publication of the Vatican’s The Message of Fatima on 26 June 2000 asserting that John Paul’s consecration of the world in 1984 had fully complied with the Virgin’s request for the consecration of Russia at Fatima in 1917.  But it is clear that the consequences of the acceptance of the Vatican’s The Message of Fatima by the Church to date have included the removal of the entrustment of the Conversion of Russia and World Peace to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by Heaven, from the mind and heart of the Church, thereby frustrating the implementation of Heaven’s plan for this final conflict with Satan and leaving the Church to human initiatives.

   This first talk will consider the accuracy of the claims in the Vatican’s The Message of Fatima that: (1) Sister Lucia has confirmed in a private letter that the 1984 consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by Pope John Paul II completely fulfilled the Birgin’s request at Fatima that he with his bishops solemnly consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and that heaven had accepted that consecration; and (2) that the vision shown to the seers of a bishop dressed in white, like a pope, leading a procession of bishops, priests, religious and lay people through a ruined city, stepping over many corpses, up a hill to a cross where all are shot and killed by soldiers, is the complete 3rd Part of the Fatima Secret.  It will argue from the historical record that since 1960 the Vatican’s Ostpolitik and diplomatic and social justice initiatives, like those proclaimed in Pacem in Terris, have failed to accomplish the conversion of Russia, to bring peace to the world, or any significant betterment in human behavior that would evidence the conversion of sinners’ hearts and minds to Christ; and that while significant blessings in the form of reductions of the tribulation of WWII and the Cold War have been obtained by the consecrations of the world to the Immaculate Heart by both Pius XII and John Paul II, “how much greater would they have been had the Madonna been heeded?”

   By all appearances the publication of the Message of Fatima in 2000 has succeeded in removing Mary’s 1917 requests at Fatima for the Consecration of Russia and the First Saturday reparatory devotions from the heart and mind of most of the Church.  That period has seen the 9-11 destruction of the world Trade Center towers in New York City, ongoing tension between the Koreas, wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Israel and Egypt, a real threat of nuclear war between Israel and Iran, and the ongoing genocide of Sudanese Catholics by Muslim militias, increasing military competition between the United States and Communist China and growing mutual mistrust between Russia and china and the West.  Part II will argue that it is ludicrous to maintain that the consecration of Russia has been done as asked by Heaven at Fatima, or that the Ostpolitik of the Vatican or any efforts by the United Nations have brought about peace.  Rather, the Church is in the endgame of its final conflict with Satan.  There is not time for business as usual by the church as if there were endless centuries to work for Christ.  Heaven has given the Holy Father and his Bishops specific orders at Fatima.  They are not optional.

    Part II will conclude by arguing that the 3rd part of the Fatima Secret contains an explanation of the vision shown to the seers warning of dangers to the faith, apostasy within the Church beginning from the top, and unimaginably severe punishments from God that have been prophesied by the Blessed Mother at Fatima, Garabandal and Akita.  We in the Church must daily fast and pray to support Pope Benedict XVI as he prayerfully contemplates the promises and warnings of the three parts of the Message of Fatima within the prophetic context of Garabandal and Akita, and to defeat his enemies, visible and invisible, who work against him, within and without Christ’s Church!

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!

Whats REALLY going on with the 3rd Secret? pg.5




     Following the aging pontiff’s death his Secretary of State, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, was elected to succeed him on 2 March 1939, taking the name Pius XII.  Pope Pacelli had learned on the job the reality of communism.  But after Adolph Hitler led his Nazis to attack Russia on 22June 1941 the pontiff was required to temper his leadership against communism at least partly because the American President, freemason Franklin Delano Roosevelt, pressured him that Stalin was needed as an ally against Hitler.  On 3 Sept 1941 Roosevelt urged Pius XII that the Soviets had changed for the better:

The churches in Russia are open.  I believe there is a real possibility that Russia may, as a result of the present conflict, recognize freedom of religion in Russia, although, of course, without recognition of any official intervention on the part of any Church in education or political matters within Russia…I believe that this Russian dictatorship is less dangerous to the safety of other nations than is the German form of dictatorship.

     Because communism was founded on atheism and hatred for Christ, Pius knew it was an enemy of His Church with whom accord or coexistence was possible and after the war he strictly forbade any Vatican relations with it. Pius XII died of a lingering illness on 9 October 1958 and Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was elected Pope John XXIII on 28 October. John XXIII immediately reversed the direction of Pius XII politically by enthusiastically embracing Ostpolitik, or dialoguing with the Communist eastern European countries, and theologically by introducing what he considered to be a vital aggorimento, or updating of the Church to adapt to modern times.

     On 17 August 1959 Pope John received an envelope containing the third part of the Secret of Fatima which he read several times both on his own and with the help of Portuguese translators.  Its contents were shared with the leaders of the Holy Office, the Secretariat of State, and a few others.  He said he preferred to leave to others the appraisal of it, writing only a personal note that was resealed it in the envelope with Lucia’s letter and kept on his writing table until his death.  In fact by withholding the long-awaited and eagerly anticipated third part of the Secret from the Church and the world Pope John had de facto judged it unworthy of publication.  The consequences of that papal decision are incalculable, but surely include a further loss “of extraordinary graces and miraculous help” so desperately needed to guide the Church in its conflict with those forces, visible and invisible, that are led by Satan’s cunning. 

     On 25 November 1961 the pontiff received birthday greetings from the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev praising his recent expressions of hope for world peace “as well as to the solution of international problems thanks to frank negotiations.”  In joyful response Pope John privately expressed his belief that “Something is moving in the world. The Lord is using the humble instrument that I am to budge history.  Today we have had a sign of Divine Providence.”

     Pope John felt inspired to call for a new ecumenical council that he hoped would be the occasion for a new springtime, a “New Pentecost” in the Church, to which he, ardently desired that members of the Russian Orthodox Church attend.  To that end Cardinal Eugene Tisserant for the Vatican and Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Nikodim for the Soviet Union concluded the “Vatican-Moscow Agreement” or “Metz Pact” at Metz, France on 18 August 1962.  In consideration of the Soviets sending two Russian Orthodox observers to the council, the Vatican agreed tha the Second Vatican Council would abstain from any consideration of Communism and Russia “Ever since that time the Holy See considers itself as still bound by the engagements taken by John XXIII.  Communism is no longer ever mentioned by name in any pontifical document.”

    On 11 October 1962 Pope John opened his council with a joyful and upbeat address, but included an explicit rejection of warnings such as those of Sister Lucia: “We feel that We must disagree with these prophets of doom, who are always forecasting worse disasters, as though the end of the world were at hand.”  Tragically, the prophet to which he refers is not Sister Lucia to whom she appeared and spoke, but the “Woman clothed with the sun,” our August Queen of heaven and earth, of angels and men!

     On 11 April 1963 John XXIII signed Pacem in Terris, his internationalist encyclical on World Peace, in which “he officially recognized the ‘charter of the rights of man’ of the United Nations, and he extolled a world community, of liberty equality and fraternity” wherein ideal societies of the future would “constructed on the good will of all men.  And at the same time, the Pope practically lifted the prohibition of collaborating with the communists.”  Moreover, he wrote that such collaboration “may possibly provide the occasion or even the incentive for their conversion to the truth. “  Pope John here officially promoted collaboration with Communists, accepting them as reasonable men of natural moral integrity.  He might have said the same of Freemasonry. It appears that the pontiff here fails to fully grasp or appreciate the demonic spirit and the perverse nature of a totalitarian system such as communism, by whatever name it may call itself from time to time that demands the unconditional and uncompromising personal commitment of a de facto religion.  This is surely because of the diabolical disorientation of the mystery of iniquity.  That is why we must pray for our Pope as never before, or I believe errors will continue. 

One cannot logically separate a communist from the errors of communism by whatever name they may call themselves as if a communist or a freemason were merely an atheist with strong socialistic or intellectual convictions.  For a communist believes the ultimate good is the dictatorship of the proletariat, or other totalitarian regime, and all means that achieve that end are good. Morally-ethical categories are replaced by political expediency.  As Harry and Bonaro Overstreet reported in their seminal study of communism in 1958, the necessary lie, slander, intimidation of the masses, and the liquidation of oppositional groups and hostile classes must not only be obediently carried out, but conscientiously accepted as the right thing to do by party members.  In 1957 Margarita Aliger confessed during a conference of Soviet writers in Moscow that she had sometimes substituted “morally-ethical categories for political categories…[whereas] All the work of a Soviet writer is political work, and to accomplish it honorably is possible only when one follows firmly the party line and party discipline.”  Hence, moral integrity consists in total personal dedication to use all means, including deception, liquidation, imprisonment, violence and terror, to achieve the ultimate good.  A party member is forbidden to love his enemies and is obligated to define as enemies “all who are outside the ideological pale.” Cannot the same be said of the Freemason Calles in Mexico in the 1920’s?

On the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, 17 June, and again on 28 August, 1689, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque wrote to Mother de Saumaise, her prioress at the Visitation Monestery of Paray-le-Monial, to have a message the saint had received from Jesus requesting that the King consecrate France to His most Sacred Heart, delivered to him.

  Margaret Mary expressed Heaven’s wish that Jesus’ Sacred Heart receive “the consecration and homage of the king and the entire court.  Moreover, this divine Heart wishes to become the protector and defender of his sacred person against all his enemies visible and invisible, to defend him against them, and assure his salvation by this means.” 

The saint added that Jesus had chosen that the Jesuits deliver this message to Louis XIV and spread this devotion to His Sacred Heart, specifically mentioning a Father de la Chaise because of his influence over Louis’ heart.  Historians surmise that Fr. De le Chaise either refused to deliver the message to Louis, or was not willing to advocate that the king comply, or that Louis XIV soul was not sufficiently humble to comprehend the greatness being offered.  It is certain that this initiative of Jesus’ Sacred Heart was not understood and Margaret Mary’s admonitions were of no avail.  There can be no doubt of the consequences of the refusal of kings Louis XIV through XVI to comply with Heaven’s will regarding the consecration of France and devotion to Jesus’ Sacred Heart.  One hundred years tot eh day after Margaret Mary penned her first letter to her prioress, the French peasants, led by atheist philosophers and Masonic anti-Church propagandists, overthrew the Catholic monarchy and proclaimed their new National Assembly to be the legitimate government of France.  The subsequent terror included the suppression and fanatical persecution of the Catholic Church, the French nobility and the execution of King Louis XVI on 21 January 1793.
While the French revolution could not have happened without the well-known injustices callously inflicted on those outside the privileged and elitist classes within the nobility and even within the church during the eighteenth century, one must consider how Catholic France fell to such moral, spiritual, material and social misery.  Although that question is beyond the scope of this talk, the texts of Heaven’s messages to both Saint Margaret Mary and to the seers of Fatima strongly suggest that in the century following the death of Louis XIV in 1701 France was “deprived of the increase of extraordinary graces and miraculous help of the Sacred Heart” and was unable to cope with the internal “frivolousness, deadly errors, cowardice and betrayals which soon brought about its ruin.”  The theological heresies, the Masonic Counter-Church and a “satanic hatred against God, against Christ and against His Church” were thus able to exploit the wide-spread misery to prepare the revolution.

     By a parity of reasoning the same inferences can be made regarding the disastrous consequences for the world and for the Church of the failure of the succession of Roman pontiffs from Pius XI to John Paul II to comply with Heaven’s request, although there are good reason to conclude that John Paul I would have complied, but for his sudden, tragic and mysterious death.  Albino Cardianl Luciani of Venice had visited Sister Lucia in Coimbra privately for several hours in 1977 just months before he became Pope John Paul I.  Lucia requested the private visit after Luciani had celebrated mass for the cloistered Carmelites, Cardinals having access to the seer without Vatican permission.  We don’t know if or how much of the third part of the Secret of Fatima Lucia revealed to the Cardinal, but in early 1978 the usually jovial prelate explained his apparent pensiveness and absorption to his brother and sister-in-law, Edoardo and Antonietta Luciani, by saying that “I was just thinking of what Sister Lucia told me at Coimbra…The Secret, it’s terrible.”  Luciani held Lucia in high esteem and it is probable that he would have acted on Heaven’s Plan for Peace, had he lived.

     Given that Jesus’ “ministers” have failed to “heed My request” proposed at Fatima in 1917 and made at Tuy in 1929, one could conclude that they also have been “deprived of the increase of extraordinary graces and miraculous help” from Heaven to prevent the “satanic hatred agains God, against Christ and against His Church” of its enemies, visible and invisible, within and without the Church , from influencing pivotal decisions and initiatives that have yielded tragic consequences for the Church and the world.

     Had Pius XI or Pius XII obeyed Heaven’s request for the consecration and First Saturday reparatory devotions communicated through Sister Lucia in 1929, the Queen of Heaven would have been graced to convert Russia and lead that nation to convert the world to Christ.  World War II would have been avoided and the world would have been blessed with a period of peace.  Instead Russia still spreads her errors throughout the world, souls are lost to occultism, atheism and sin of all kinds, and we live in a state of continuous war.  Further, a sad a disappointed Jesus had warned Lucia in 1931 that if his “ministers” were late in performing the consecration and leading the Church in the First Saturday reparatory devotions, they would suffer the same fate as the Kings of France.  It appears to many, including myself, that Jesus’ warning has been and will continue to be fulfilled in the persons of our pontiffs.  Had they obeyed would not God have blessed their sowing with super-abundant fruit and opposed the contrary efforts of all their enemies, visible and invisible, within and without the Church?
     In making Peter and his successors his vicars on earth Christ has irrevocably delegated to them his authority over all people, including those in schism or accepting heretical and even atheistic and pagan beliefs.  As Leo XIII explained in his encyclical of 25 May 1899, Annum Sacrum, the whole can be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus:

 “Indeed the empire of Jesus Christ does not extend to Catholic nations only…But the power of Christ extends also over all those who live outside the Christian faith; it is thus an unquestionable truth that the whole human race is under the power of Jesus Christ.” 

 With faith in Jesus our pontiffs could follow Peter and in obedience to Heaven’s request, pay out their nets for a catch.  As Peter’s nets were filled with fish then, today many souls would be saved, Russia would be converted and the world would be blessed with a period of peace.  But Satan’s hand is clearly revealed working against compliance through the complexities, betrayals and intrigues that have confronted our pontiffs through the last century and into the present.

     Pope Pius XI began his reign on 6 February 1922 by following the Ostpolitik begun by Benedict XV understandably seeking to cooperate with the Soviet Government to mitigate the Russian misery following the Great War and the Bolshevik revolution and to secure the safety of both Orthodox believers and the Roman Catholic Church in Russia.  In early 1930 the pontiff received but remained incredulous to Sister Lucia’s communications of Heaven’s request for the consecration and First Saturday devotions.  He believed that such a serious request, if from Heaven, would have been communicated directly to him.  Moreover, what was suggested “seemed to him contrary to his designs.  The direction of the Church was his business – he knew, better than anybody else, the road to follow!

 But after 15 years of vainly trusting in Vatican diplomacy to accomplish these ends amid the communist terror, genocide, persecution of the Church and the torture and murder of thousands of priests and bishops, and imprisonment or death of millions of the faithful, his holiness published on 19 March 1937 an incisive encyclical against communism, Divini Redemptoris.  After detailing the methodical persecutions in Russia, Mexico and Spain as barbarous, intrinsically perverse and diabolical, the pontiff repeated several times that “communism directed by Moscow” accomplished these atrocities which “are the natural fruits of a system which is lacking all interior restraints.”  He concluded with an unambiguous order to the Church:  “Communism is intrinsically perverse, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever.”  The pontiff urged his Bishops that, following the teaching of Christ to his apostles, they must lead the fight against demonic Communism by fostering and intensifying “the spirit of prayer joined with Christian penance.” 

     But Satan works his mystery of iniquity against Jesus’ Church beyond organized communism.  His holiness had finally come to see the demonic behind other enemies of the Church in the systematic attempt to drive God from the hearts and minds of the Mexican people in the 1920’s.  In 1926 the Freemason Plutarco Calles became president.  He was fanatically anti-Catholic and determined to exterminate Catholicism by legislating and strictly enforcing the anti-Catholic provisions of the new Constitution of 1917, and adding others of his own.  In 1926, Calles regime launched a new offensive to bury the Church.

  He wrote: Now there must be a psychological revolution.  We must penetrate and take hold of the minds of the children and the youth because they must belong to the revolution.

  The Catholic schools were shut down, the congregations expelled, Christian trade unions forbidden numerous churches confiscated and profaned or destroyed.  Public school attendance became mandatory atheism was officially taught, and religious symbols such as medals, crucifixes, statues and pictures were forbidden even in private.  Catholic public figures were assassinated and girls leaving church were kidnapped, imprisoned, even raped.  The Archbishop of Baltimore complained that U.S. friendship has encouraged Calles to destroy the idea of God in the minds and hearts of millions of Mexicans.  On 28 May 1926 Calles received the Masonic medal of merit from the hands of the Great Commander of the Masonic Scottish rite in Mexico.  On 12 July 1926, International Masonry accepted responsibility for everything that was happening in Mexico, and prepared to mobilize all its forces for the methodic, integral application of the agreed upon program for this country.

     By 1927 hundreds of priests and laymen had been killed and 20,000 Cristeros combatants took up arms in defense of the faith.  Their number rose to 30,000 by the end of the year, and to 50,000 by 1929. Beginning with little, they armed themselves with captured weapons and horses.  The people supplied their material needs and the fight became a crusade!  In 1927 they defeated the government forces in several battles.  By November the US military attaché’ began to worry about the success of the “fanatics,” as 40% of them were now equipped with captured Mauser rifles.  The Cristiada was a succession of miracles.

     In 1928 Mexico’s rural population was sent to concentration camps where famine and epidemics decimated them.  Those who resisted were massacred.  Harvests and flocks were seized, grazing land burned, and villages destroyed by the thousands.  Despite this scorched earth policy the Cristeros stood fast like latter-day Maccabees.

     By 1929, Cristeros victories forced the government to abandon the rural war.  Three-fourths of inhabitable Mexico was in the hands of the Cristeros.  They had won military victory, and in the United States Herbert Hoover, who was not a Mason, was elected president!  Then the Cristeros learned that secret negotiations between the Mexican government and the Vatican had relulted in an accord.  On 21 June the Mexican episcopate signed a resolution of the conflict with the ruling power.  The accord provided for immediate, unconditional cease fire and the resumption of the public worship began the next day.  It restored the same situation that prevailed in 1926 with all the anti-Catholic laws then in effect, including the registration of priests!  In the text, the Cristeros were called fanatics directed by a few third-rate priests; their revolt was an error, imprudent, even a sin.  They must lay down their arms under pain of excommunication…
The commander in chief of the Cristeros, Jesus Degollado, addressed his troops in a voice breaking with sorrow:
His Holiness the Pope, by the intermediary of the most excellent Apostolic Nuncio, has decided, for reasons which are unknown to us but which, as Catholics, we accept, that public worship will be resumed tomorrow without the law being changed…This arrangement…has wrested from us that which is most noble and most holy on our flag, at the moment when the Church has declared that she will resign herself to what she has obtained…Consequently, the National Guard assumes responsibility for the conflict…As for ourselves as men, we have a satisfaction that no one can take from us; the National Guard does not disappear defeated by its enemies, but rather abandoned by the very ones who were to be the first to receive the fruit of our sacrifices and abnegation!  Ave, Christ!  Those who for You are going to humiliation, to exile, and, perhaps, to an inglorious death,…with the most fervent love salute You, and once more proclaim You as King of our country.

Six thousand Cristeros obeyed, and were immediately massacred.  In three years, they had lost 5,000 men in combat!  The Mexican episcopate decreed the excommunication of the Cristeros priests, but those 180 who had not been killed during the war had already been martyred…all was lost.
     The new president, the Masonic lawyer Fortes Gil, rejoiced.  At the summer solstice banquet he acknowledged his astonishment at the unconditional capitulation of a victorious army, and stated his intention to continue the fight: The fight did not begin yesterday.  The fight is eternal.  The fight began 20 centuries ago.
(Adapted from M. Olivier Lelibre,  The Cristeros, Catholic Soldiers of Christ)

    By 1935 Pius XI had earned by bitter experience that it was the same enemy of God and his Church that drove both the communists in Europe and the Freemasons in Mexico.  After Divini Redemptoris it was unthinkable for any in the Church to collaborate with communism or freemasonry in any undertaking whatsoever.

Whats REALLY going on with the 3rd Secret-pg 2


 By 1917 WWI had been killing the youth of Europe for three years.  On 5 May Pope Benedict XV penned a letter in which he turned to our Blessed Mother  in prayer for peace in the midst of the terror and darkness that  had raged since August, 1914.  Benedict was an experienced, well connected diplomat, but all his Vatican diplomacy had failed to bring peace.  Now he turned to Mary:

 He wrote:  Our earnestly pleading voice, invoking the end of the vast conflict, the suicide of civilized Europe, was then and has remained ever since unheard.  Indeed it seemed that the dark tide of hatred grew higher and wider among the belligerent nations, and drew other countries into its frightful sweep, multiplying ruin and massacre.  Nevertheless Our confidence was not lessened...Since all graces which the Author of all good deigns to grant to the poor children of Adam, by a loving design of His Divine Providence are dispensed through the hands of the most holy Virgin, we wish that the petition of Her most afflicted children, more than ever in this terrible hour, may turn with lively confidence to the august Mother of God.

     A week later, on 13 May and again on 13 June 1917, our Blessed Mother responded to Benedict's prayer in the first two of six visitations to three young seers, Jacinta and her brother Francisco Marto, and their cousin Lucia dos Santos, at the village of Fatima in central Portugal.  On 13 July 1917 Our Lady appeared to them for the third time and on that day revealed to them in 3 parts heaven's plan to prevent many souls from being lost, and to bring a period of real peace to the world, but told them it was a secret not to be revealed until she gave permission.  She asked them to come again on the 13th of the next month and to pray the Rosary daily in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary for world peace and for the end of the war "because only she can help you."  She promised to perform a miracle on 13 October "for all to see and believe.. and she kept her promise."   On 8 December 1941 Lucia, then a sister of the Order of St. Dorothy wrote out parts One and Two and according to Fatima scholars the first sentence of part three of the Secret as follows:

         Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice:  O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
       As our Lady spoke these last words, she opened her hands once more, as she had done during the two previous months.  The rays of light seemed to penetrate the earth, and we saw as it were a sea of fire. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form. ...Terrified and as if to plead for succor, we looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: 'You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go.  To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.  If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.  The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI.  When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this  is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. 

     To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays.  If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church.  The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated.  In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.  The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.  In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved; etc...Do not tell this to anybody.  Francisco, yes you may tell him. 
              When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell.  Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.
     How are we to understand the Blessed Mother's message that to save sinners from going to hell God wishes to establish in the world devotion to her Immaculate Heart?  In Lumen Gentium 61-62 The Second Vatican Council proclaims the perennial Catholic truth that: 

By her manifold intercession, she continues to win the gifts of eternal salvation for us.  By her motherly love, she takes care of the brothers of her Son who are still in pilgrimage and in dangers and difficulties, until they be led through to the happy fatherland.  For this reason, the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, and Mediatrix. 
   
   It follows that the most pure, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, not only beckons us to follow her in being pure of heart, free from earthly chains to do the will of God, but also that she is able to obtain for us the divine assistance we require to do so!  For, while when baptized we are indwelt by the Blessed Trinity and divinely infused with inclinations to both theological and moral virtue, we can grow strong in the practice of Faith, Hope and Charity, Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance only with the help of the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier.  By acting within us with his gifts of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety and Fear of God this Sanctifier can mold us ever more perfectly into the image of Jesus that God intends us to be.  As his holiness Leo XIII teaches in his encyclical on the Holy Spirit, Divinum Illud Munus

     The just man, that is to say he who lives the life of divine grace, and acts by the fitting virtues as by means of faculties, has need of those seven gifts which are properly attributed to the Holy Ghost.  By means of them the soul is furnished and strengthened so as to obey more easily and promptly His voice and impulse.

    So it is not surprising that God should choose to save sinners by establishing in the world devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  As daughter of the eternal Father she, being immaculately conceived and full of grace, cooperated perfectly with the Divine Will to become the new Eve of his heart.  As spouse of the eternal Spirit she yielded to his movement within her soul and body to become the Ark of the New Covenant.  As mother of the eternal Son she entered a most intimate union with him from the moment of his conception through his death, resurrection and eternal glorification.  Finally, from his cross Jesus made her our mother.  By choosing to establish devotion in the world to the Immaculate Heart of this uniquely privileged woman he has made to be our Mother and Queen God intends that we gain her most powerful intercession with him to send his eternal Spirit to save with his gifts those sinners who will be open to receive them.  Yes, Christ alone is Savior and Redeemer.  But as Mediatrix of all Graces, Mary is indispensable to our salvation. 
     Blessed John Paul II explained the efficaciousness of Mary's motherhood in his homily at Fatima on 13 May 1982:

     When Jesus on the Cross said: 'Woman, behold, you son (John 19:26), in a new way he opened his Mother's Heart, the Immaculate Heart, and revealed to it the new dimensions and extent of the love to which she was called in the Holy Spirit by the power of the sacrifice of the Cross...The  solicitude of the Mother of the Savior is solicitude for the work of salvation: the work of her Son.  It is solicitude for the salvation, the eternal salvation, of all.

     This first talk will try to connect the historical dots beginning with the well-known locution of Pope Leo XIII at the end of the 19th Century to try to see the outline of the final conflict between God and the Kingdom of darkness that is rebelling against Him.  The rebellion is led by Satan and God has delegated leadership of the host of heaven to the Blessed Mother with Archangel Michael.  Paul's reference in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 to the Mystery of Iniquity being already at work in secret, and God's allowing the deception of deliberate nonbelievers and the unrighteous, is echoed in the Blessed Mother's warning to Sister Lucia of Fatima of a diabolical disorientation within the Church contributing to a future apostasy, and of our Mother's prophesy in 1961 to the four Garabandal visionaries that they would later contradict one another and come to doubt having experienced the visions as part of the same confusion that now exists in the Church. 

     This first will focus on the 1st and 2nd parts of the Secret of Fatima; especially the vital importance of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Consecration of Russia.  The second will consider the claims of the Vatican's 26 June 2000 publication, The Message of Fatima, that John Paul II's 1984 consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary has been accepted by heaven as fulfilling Mary's request at Fatima for the papal consecration of Russia, and to have fully revealed the 3rd part of the Fatima Secret.  It will then consider the Tribulation, the Warning, and the Miracle and the “Chastisement prophesied by the Blessed Mother at Garabandal and Akita, and suggest personal spiritual preparation for them. 
 I want to assure you that I love each one of the popes I refer to.  We must be merciful as Christ is merciful to obtain mercy we must love one another; especially our pontiffs even in our miseries and pray for them as Mary prays for us.

 On 13 October 1884 Pope Leo XIII had just finished celebrating holy Mass when he fell into a mystical state and heard Satan boast to Jesus that he could destroy his Church if Jesus would give him power for 100 years over all those who would serve him.  Jesus agreed!  Leo became pale with alarm and wrote a strong prayer invoking God's protection of his Church through Archangel Michael and his heavenly cohort.  This prayer, modified in 1930, was said by all the faithful after low mass throughout the church until 1971.

     Satan began this final battle in Holy Russia in 1905 seizing on existing social, economic and political injustice as the opportunity to foment violent uprisings.  On 22 January 1095 thousands of impoverished Muscovites carrying only religious icons and led by an Orthodox priest converged on the Winter Palace of their Tsar with five petitions: amnesty for those already arrested, certain civil liberties, a living wage, gradual land reform and universal suffrage.  In response the Tsar's Cossacks attacked the unarmed petitioners killing over 1,000. That provoked mutiny in the navy and a peasant revolt that involved up to 2,800,000 persons by the time order was restored in December. But the underlying issues of injustice were not resolved and discontent seethed until the "Great War" of 1914-1918 was nearing its end.

     In mid March of 1917 revolution began in Russia within the armed forces.  Within two weeks the Bolshevik Lev Trotsky had boarded a ship in New York for Russia.  In April Vladimir Lenin with a small contingent of his Bolsheviks was secretly returned from thirteen years of voluntary exile in Switzerland through Germany and Sweden in a sealed railway car by Kaiser Wilhelm, intending to further destabilize Russia.  The Bolsheviks gradually gained control of the revolutionaries and were able to control most of the government by October 1917.  After three more years of brutal civil war the Bolsheviks had totally replaced the autocracy of the Christian Czar with the totalitarianism of satanic dictatorship.  Terror and the Gulag were added to a new system of social, economic and political injustice, but now directed against God and his Church, and all opposition.

      Satan's pride compelled him to reveal his hand in the destruction of Holy Russia from the start of the revolution.  In 1905 when Catherine de Hueck Doherty was a nine year old girl living comfortably with her family in rural Russia, it was customary for pilgrims to walk long distances to pray at its many shrines. One evening a single old woman pilgrim sought shelter at the farm of Catherine's family and the family and servants eagerly gathered by kerosene lamps around a crackling fireplace to hear tell of her pious adventures. Well into the evening, after relating many blessings received at the holy shrines, the woman told of passing through a thick forest with a growing sense of an evil presence that even set the forest creatures on edge.  Around a bend another road joined hers and a single man walking in her direction joined her.

Although she sensed some evil about him he behaved well.  He didn't use a Christian greeting, just calling her Granny.  When she told him of her holy pilgrimage he laughed about religion being superstition fed to peasants by priests to pacify them to accept the many injustices that afflicted them.  He was eloquent and persuasive and she soon began to believe him. Then he began mocking the Blessed Mother and calling the virgin birth fiction and devotion to Mary idolatry.  She quietly took a small bottle of holy water and sprinkled him with it in the name of Jesus and the Holy Trinity.  He screamed, fell twisting to the ground an before vanishing cried out: "You old fool! All Russia will be covered with rivers of blood over the things I've said.  Millions will think like I do.  There will be moaning and groaning and tears all over this land.  I am out to win it and win it I will.  And neither your God nor your Blessed Virgin will be able to save it."

The old woman fainted in terror.  Awakening, she continued walking cautiously.
 Suddenly, there was a very great light on the road, and a young woman, dressed just like me in a pilgrim's garb, with an icon on her breast, came up gently to my side.  'Fear not, Grandma, ' she said, 'it is true what the man said, but he as not a man.  These things will come to pass so that Holy Russia may hang on the cross with my Son to redeem the world.  The only way the world can be redeemed is through suffering with my Son.  Fear not.  There will come a day when, under the sign of my Son, I will lead Russia to show my Son's face to the world.'  Then she vanished too, and  I saw the lights of the village.

   Like the blasphemy Goliath hurled against God, Satan's blasphemy against Christ echoes through our times waiting for a modern David to crush him to uphold the honor of God.  Young David had only five smooth stones and his skill with his sling.  Yet his faith and his courage vanquished Goliath because God was with him!  As we shall see, our Pontiffs have the promise of Jesus' Holy Mother Mary that when the Pope together with his Bishops solemnly consecrates Russia to her Immaculate Heart, and leads the Church in First Saturday reparatory devotions to her Immaculate Heart, and leads the Church in First Saturday reparatory devotions to her Immaculate heart, she will convert Russia and a period of peace will be granted to the world.  Is that not the "day when, under the sign of my Son, I will lead Russia to show my Son's face to the world"  prophesied by Mary to the pilgrim in Catherine Doherty's story?  Is not this leadership of the Blessed Mother in the Church's war against Satan prophesied in Genesis 3:15-16 and Revelation 11:19-12:6, 13-17?
