The following are excerpts from the book The Fourth Secret of Fatima, authored by Italian journalist Antonio Socci. Many thanks to RCS Libri (publisher of the Italian edition) and Doug Bersaw of Loreto Publications (publisher of the English edition) for granting me permission to reprint this material.
Dedication
To His Holiness Benedict XVI.
To Yusriani (15 years old), Theresa (16 years old), and Alvita (19 years old), young Christians, throats slit and decapitated by the blows of a machete because of their faith in Jesus. (On October 29, 2005 in Indonesia these three Christian students were assaulted by a band of fundamentalist Muslims while going to school, a private Catholic school in Poso. The terrorists held them down, cut their throats, and then their heads. The head of one of them was then thrown in front of the Christian church of Kasiguncu.)
To Angela Pia, practically moral co-authoress of the book by her prayers.
"It seems to me that this is the first time Heaven has warned the world of its partial destruction since Our Lord predicted at Jerusalem the chastisement that was threatening it. We are perfectly free to disregard this appeal, but if that should happen, then God have mercy on us all!"
Hamish Fraser
"The moment will come, the danger will be great, it will be thought that all is lost. Then I will be with you."
The Madonna to Saint Catherine Labouré Paris, 1830
"Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you affirm your power against your enemies."
Psalm 8

I thought there were only three?
Shhh, that was the secret!
We don’t yet know the true Third Secret.
I believe the Fourth Secret is the portion of the Third Secret that hasn’t yet been fully revealed.
Pretty much.
It pretty much became a done deal when JPII said the Third Secret was about him.
Personally, I never believed that.
I looked around the net, and found more on this here:

How accurate this is, I don’t know. But I don’t feel like ponying up $9 plus postage for the book.
The 4th secret is that the church clergy is riddled with pedophile priests.
Satan is trying his best to DESTROY the CHURCH!!
Oh PLEASE....the Catholic Church is NOT RIDDLES with Paedophile priests...it does have a FEW, though.
Try this link to the Vatican
Are you suggesting this is not the “true” third secret?
not really a secret!
He seems to be getting emence assistance from his minions in my church. Unbelievable!
You misunderstood the intention of my question. No offense intended. I am a ex Catholic. Went to a Jesuit high school and a few semesters of Loyola University. Decided the more I was taught, the more I didn’t believe what I was hearing. By the time the local Monsenior told me if I thought it wasn’t a sin if we took the pill. It was OK because I had come to that decision through a serious examination of my conscience. Figured at that point, wasn’t much use going to listen to guitar folk songs on Sunday morning instead of fishing. He agreed cause Sunday Mass was just a bunch of people meeting for “Breakfast” and if I didn’t really WANT to be there, they could do without me. Found more GOD fishing anyway. Just getting caught up with the lastest gossip about the ONE TRUE CHURCH. Happy you have found a way that workes for you. At 69 I think I will stick with fishing. By the way, did some quick research which confirmed the extent of B.S. still being put out. Heck, if the POPE can’t control the Church and has to sneak in references to the full nature of the Third Secret, I sure am not wise enough to figure out the truth.
No, I didn’t take any offense. Best wishes to you!
