Stating that “there is no fourth secret nor are there other hidden secrets,” Cardinal Angelo Amato, the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, delivered a lengthy address on the Fatima apparitions at the Pontifical University Antonianum on May 7.

The 20th century, said Cardinal Amato, was expected to be a time of “reason and brotherhood,” but instead saw the beginning of an era of Christian persecution: “the Armenian genocide, the Mexican repression, the Spanish persecution, the Nazi massacres, the Communist extermination, and, in this first part of the third millennium, Islamist persecution.”

“The message of Fatima in a visionary way evokes this drama, raising the veil on concrete historical events” in which God’s Providence opposes Satan’s evil will, he continued.

The former secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith discussed the contents and history of the Fatima apparitions, including devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the First Saturday devotion. After reviewing the history of the third secret, Cardinal Amato said that St. John Paul’s reading of the third secret following the assassination attempt of May 1981 was the “decisive turning point of his pontificate.”

The prelate recalled that St. John Paul then entrusted the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Rome in June 1981 and again in Fatima the following year. In 1984, “in spiritual union with all the bishops of the world,” the Pope again entrusted the world to Mary, and this “solemn and universal act of consecration” corresponded to “the will of Our Lady,” Fatima visionary Sister Lucia affirmed in a 1989 letter.

In 2000, Cardinal Amato recalled, St. John Paul ordered the publication of the third secret, in which a Pope is shot dead. “Sister Lucia, referring to Mary’s protection of John Paul II, fully endorsed the.....

Maybe because it was a false prophecy used to take away the worship of Christ and substitute worship of Mary.False idol worship of Mary is destroying the roman catholic church.

Scripture says that she was a false prophet

…DEU 18;21"You may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' 22"When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.

Thank God my Christian World didn't get entrusted to the ghost of the queen of heaven...

Yeah, because Satan is really big into telling people they will suffer horribly forever in hell unless they repent of their sins, turn back to God, and beg him for forgiveness. That's really one of his favorite themes.

NOT.

The "secret" was a vision, not precisely a prophecy, so it is open to symbolic interpretation as well as literal.

Nothing in the vision requires that the man in white, who was killed by soldiers and of whom the children said "we *thought* him to be the Holy Father," be John Paul II. That's an interpretation people are making of it, perhaps a correct one, perhaps not.

Thats it..change the words.. Thats the ticket..

It was a prophecy ...and it was wrong

We only have to test the Rosary instructions that apparently Mary has given to the Catholic Church and Fatima endorsed...

And in her first promise, she can be proven a liar.
When tested with the testimony of her own Son when He confronted Satan with ‘it is written’..

Probem is that lying Mary points to her son in a later promise for that praying that rosary.

Maybe she has a different Jesus.. is it even conceivable Satan would think to counterfeit the King of Kings? Or worse, impersonate Him?

What about the Catholic Church are Christians willing to stand with?
Their teachings permeate Christendom from tomorrow being ‘holy’ to the made up substitute holy days they created...
