Someone sent me a link to this video on Fatima. I watched it, I think years ago and am looking forward to watching it again. Fatima , of course is very relevant to what is going on in the Church and the world at the moment and so is always worth paying attention to: Anyway it's very professional product
Sister Lucia was so obedient. She could not even write down the third secret on her own. It is really rather striking and no wonder she was chosen by Our Lady to reveal herself and her message to the world at such a pivitol time.
I don;t think there is any doubt that the Third Secret concerned an Apostasy in the Church, what a pity they never released this in 1960
Interesting, last night I spoke with my Mother who told me about her local Methodist Church's assault by the county government. The area has a very high amount of homeless and so the Church opened its doors each night and allowed people to shelter in the basement of the Church as well as fed them a meal. At the expense of the Parishoners. Not a dime came from government sourced funds. The county officials caught on to this as it was featured in the local paper and came in and swiftly shut down the overnight housing of these people. In its stead they have opened a homeless shelter. On the face of it one would think this is not so bad, except, my Mom says that the men who were coming to the Church who of course had such problems as alcoholism and drug abuse etc to deal with were beginning to change. Coming to meals dressed in their newly gained suits from the local Salvation Army, attending services and helping around the Church. The state is never the answer to these issues in my experience, (and I do have some) but it has many in it who faithfully attack anyone who seeks to do the will of God. The sad thing in all of this is that the possibility exists for the state to work in union with those of Faith and in conjunction help to bring people to others who can bandage their wounds and help them. Not when it denies God however and the work of the Holy Spirit. Her area is heavily populated with Masons in places of authority.
I know the Freemasons have been in the Vatican and growing in numbers during the reign of Pope John Paul II. However, it still amazes me that although JPII wanted clearly to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, he fell short of his desired intentions. That along with not releasing the literal message of the 3rd secret say's allot. What was he so afraid of? If the diabolical Freemason forces surrounding him were so strong that this prayerful saintly pope could not even find the courage to resist and speak what was on his heart it is clear the shift within the Vatican was well established in Satan's favor. And some wonder why Pope Benedict resigned! It is simply time for the great purification to begin and it is.
In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top. -Cardinal Ciappi It [the Third Secret] has nothing to do with Gorbachev. The Blessed Virgin was alerting us against the apostasy in the Church. -Cardinal Oddi Its content concerns only our faith. To identify the Secret with catastrophic announcements or with a nuclear holocaust is to deform the meaning of the message. The loss of faith of a continent is worse than the annihilation of a nation; and it is true that faith is continually diminishing in Europe. “Before I asserted in Vienna (in 1984) that the Third Secret concerned only our Faith and the loss of Faith I had consulted Sister Lucy and first obtained her approval.” Thus, Sister Lucy herself indirectly confirmed, yet again, that the true and complete Third Secret of Fatima predicts apostasy in the Church. -Bishop Amaral I cannot reveal anything of what I learned at Fatima concerning the Third Secret, but I can say that it has two parts: one concerns the Pope; the other logically (although I must say nothing) would have to be the continuation of the words: ‘In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved.’ -Fr. Joseph Schweigl I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … -Pope Pius XII

I agree Padraig....I think it’s all about Fatima! Excellent video series from Dr. Taylor Marshall! Worth every minute. Three part video on Fatima:
...and yet... Malachi Martin clearly stated several times that the secret comprises a spiritual part (the great apostasy no doubt) AND A PHYSICAL PART (the annihilation of nations?).
If the secret comprises 25 lines it must have revealed quite a lot. I am inclined to believe now that the secret comprised two parts; or addressed two issues...and that only the first part was ever released and that it was an is the second part that concerns the Church. That it was not thought, 'Prudent' , to release this,.
She stayed hidden and humble in a convent. How hard it must have been for her to know the third secret....and then to see the Vatican refuse the mandate from heaven to release it in 1960 as was the request from heaven. When asked why 1960, she said that in 1960 the world would better understand its meaning.
And she said that in 1955... So what is the only thing of significance that happened in the Catholic Church between 1955 and 1960. Hmmm...
Exactly what I think....and history has pretty well confirmed that. At least that’s my view. Sad....how could a mandate from heaven be ignored. Our poor church and how many lost souls. The accountability before God for this?...
While I think the Third Secret refers to the apostasy I don't think that is the terrifying spiritual Chastisement that is the core of the Third Secret. I think that will be something truly horrific. Something truly terrifying. Fr. Malachi Martin spoke openly about the apostasy, but he said the other spiritual Chastisement mentioned was something truly scary. Something that would have everyone in fear. I don't think mentioning apostasy would do that.
St Lucia was the main person of the three visionaries at Fatima. If part 2 of the Third Secret concerned the Church and the Vatican stopped it being published she must have guessed at once why this was so. At any rate the Blessed Virgin appears to have been appearing to her on an ongoing basis multiple times over the course of her life. This is amazing when you think of it. How many mystics had this considerable priveledge? Not many. Why then did this happen? Well, I suppose because she needed it. ..and she needed it because of the precarious position she was in vis a vis those in power in Rome and the Third Secret. She was between a rock and a hard place, I think. But she was a very,very strong person indeed, I think. She had to be she was in a very bad and dangerous position. One look at her face tells you thing. She reminds me of my grandmother who was also a woman of huge inner strength.
