The Third Secret of Fatima

"In the Third Secret we read, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church begins at the top."

---Cardinal Luigi Ciappi, Papal theologian for 40 years to five popes

Based on what those who have read the Third Secret have said about it, we can deduce the warnings it contains...


( Facsimile of the third part of the Fatima Secret )

It warns that the dogma of the faith will be lost in some parts of the world,---possibly most of Europe, and other places too.

It warns of the subsequent loss of morals, both as a cause of loss of faith and then as a result of the loss of the faith.

It predicts that as a chastisement, God allows the Church to be infiltrated by bad clergy and the bad clergy then accelerate the apostasy of the faithful. Diabolical disorientation results in the Hierarchy and in lay people.

One of the sins that brings upon the diabolical disorientation of the lay people is the sin of contraception, as St. Raphael the Archangel explains to Tobias:

"Do you want to know over whom the devil has power? It is over those who go at marriage like the horse and the mule." (Tob. 6:16-17)

The Third Secret tells how the large masses of Catholics are deceived in their own hearts with diabolical disorientation. They in turn accept the wrong leadership that comes out of the ambiguous passages of Vatican Council II, especially regarding the New Mass, as well as the false theories of Ecumenism, Collegiality and Religious Liberty.

The betrayal known as the Vatican-Moscow Agreement (1962) allows Communists, radicals and Masons to enter our seminaries, our ranks of the priesthood and even be promoted to be bishops, both at home and abroad, even to enter the Vatican itself.

The Third Secret makes it plain that, above all, this is a spiritual war waged between the Blessed Virgin Mary---the Woman of Revelation---the Woman of the Apocalypse (Ch. 12) against Satan, Lucifer, the devil, and his followers. The only way we will be, and stay, on the right side is to stay close to the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

The ways we will distinguish between the good and bad clergy are by seeing if they uphold dogma, if they uphold Tradition, if they uphold what the Church has always taught and always stood for.

We need to look for these things in their words, but above all, in their lives. Do they make us follow Jesus and Mary, or do they draw us after themselves?

We must be careful not to judge by appearances but we must be on our guard against even bad bishops and Cardinals. We must even be on our guard to respect the Pope but be careful to not follow him if a reigning Pope were to give a bad example.

The Secret warns us of all these things and does it with an economy of words. Quite possibly it points us to certain passages of Scripture, notably Apoc. 12:1-4 as applying to our time with Our Lady's brief explanation of it.

It is most notable that Sister Lucy said that the Secret is contained in chapters 8 through 12 of the Apocalypse. This appears to be verified by Pope John Paul II and Pope Paul VI who both, in reference to Fatima, quoted from Chapter 12 of the Apocalypse.

There is nothing in the already published texts on Fatima about the Apocalypse. Thus, Fatima's most apocalyptic warnings must be contained in that part of the Secret that has yet to be released.

The Myth of Religious Tolerance

Excellent and high inspired article published in the Inside Catholic , written by Rev. Thomas D. Williams, L.C.:

The vehement, sometimes acrimonious debates that accompanied the drafting of the Vatican II declaration on religious freedom, Dignitatis Humanae, yielded an exceptionally precise and carefully worded document. Noteworthy in the 5,700-word declaration is the absence of even a single reference to religious "tolerance" or "toleration."

The choice of religious "freedom" or "liberty" as the proper category for discussion and the exclusion of "tolerance" flies in the face of the societal trend to deal with church-state issues in terms of religious tolerance.

As one notable example, along with the 40th anniversary of Dignitatis Humanae, 2005 also marked the tenth anniversary of the United Nations' "Year for Tolerance." Back in early 1995, Federico Mayor, director-general of UNESCO, made the following remarks in New York:

Fighting intolerance takes both state action and individual responsibility. Governments must adhere to the international standards for human rights, must ban and punish hate crimes and discrimination against all vulnerable groups, must ensure equal access to justice and equal opportunity for all. Individuals must become tolerance teachers within their own families and communities. We must get to know our neighbors and the cultures and the religions that surround us in order to achieve an appreciation for diversity. Education for tolerance is the best investment we can make in our own future security.

If the umbrella of tolerance necessarily covers hate crime legislation and "appreciation for diversity," with all that has come to signify, these remarks may well give pause. In modern discourse tolerance is never just tolerance; and even if it were, it would hardly present the best category for describing attitudes toward religion. Rather, we would do well to heed the wisdom of the Council Fathers regarding the true meaning of religious freedom.

Dancing with the saints: Retreat master says that's the key to Lent

Lord have Mercy , Christ have Mercy !
I just wonder how far Vatican II can go ..

Carmelite Father Francois-Marie Lethel gives one of 17 talks during a March 13-19 Lenten retreat for Pope Benedict XVI and his top aides in the Redemptoris Mater Chapel at the Vatican. The theme of the retreat was: "The Light of Christ in the Heart of the Church: John Paul II and the Theology of Saints." (CNS/L'Osservatore Romano)

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The saints aren't just people to turn to when something is lost or a situation seems hopeless; they are examples to follow in prayer and in efforts to reform and renew the church, said the priest who was preaching Pope Benedict XVI's Lenten retreat.

Carmelite Father Francois-Marie Lethel, secretary of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, led the pope and his top aides in their Lenten reflections March 13-19.

He said his 17 talks during the week would focus on the saints and Pope John Paul II.

In addition to helping Pope Benedict and Vatican officials prepare for Easter, Father Lethel said he wanted to help them prepare for the beatification May 1 of Pope John Paul.

"This beatification, which will be an event of immense importance for the church and the entire world, requires deep spiritual preparation involving the entire people of God and, in a particular way, the Holy Father and his closest collaborators," Father Lethel wrote in the introduction to the retreat program handed out to participants.

The tradition of having weeklong, preached "spiritual exercises" for the pope and members of the papal household began with Pope Pius XI in 1925. But for more than 35 years it was an Advent, not a Lenten retreat.

Pope John XXIII broke the Advent tradition in 1962 when he spent a week in September on retreat to prepare for the Second Vatican Council. His successor, Pope Paul VI, made the retreats a Lenten staple in 1964 and hugely broadened the list of preachers, who almost always had been Jesuits.

Father Lethel is the first Carmelite to be chosen to preach the pope's retreat, and three famous Carmelites figured prominently in his meditations: Sts. Therese of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross.

The three were chosen, though, not because they were Carmelites, but because of their influence on Pope John Paul, Father Lethel said in an interview with L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper.
