There is an answer. Nothing. But the real secret has things in it that the Vatican has been so afraid of that they have made everyone who has read the real version take an oath that they will not make it public. I quote a priest who has spent his life studying this topic.
In order to be worth keeping quiet, the message would logically have to be self-incriminating for the Vatican. Pope John XXIII read it an pronounced that "this is not for our pontificate." Why not? How about this: "There will be a council of the Church which will spread evil in the world." Well, that would have made John less enthusiastic about his council whose very existence was based on his enthusiasm, no? And would this not have been "more clear" in 1960?
Or this one: "There will be changes to the Mass that all Catholics should reject." Why would any of the post-concilar popes want THAT to be revealed?
Furthermore, would these both not have been rather obvious by now, the time of Sister Lucy's death?
May the good Lord rest her soul in peace. And may he please continue to have mercy on us left behind!
There are many factors - some provable, some legendary (and probably exaggerated) all of which combined make for more then circumstantial evidence that the "real" secret was of such dire consequence that it had to be "buried".
Such rumours would have included that John XXIII (and possibly every succeeding pope) fainted upon reading it. May be true....maybe not.......maybe partly true, or exaggerated. Yet, it points to something which is severe enough to cause a great shock to the system of one who reads it for the first time.
Fr. Malachi Martin, who did read the secret in its entirety = and was sworn to secrecy as to the specifics of the contents, would go so far as to say - when asked - that the secret "is more horrific then anything you could imagine - and then some".
Read in the context of 1960 - or the early 60s - long before the Coundcil had finished, much less before any of its ill effects began to show serious and widespread negative consequences, the secret would indeed be shocking.
Our Lady has told us at Akita that the third Secret is to be found in Scripture. The words of Christ in regard to the propecied "great apostacy", which is prefigured by the writings of the Old Testanment prophets, as well as beng in Revelations.
A council which would spread great evil? That was painfully obvious to John XXII, as he was dying in 1963, as well as to St. Padre Pio. And its effects/fruits were yet to be seen, in their fullness.
"....because by 1960, things will be clearer" Yes, indeed they would be. The Church of 2005 would be unimaginable to a Catholic in 1917. But also so in 1960 itself - though the warning signs were already there.
In essense, many experts on the subject have concluded that the Secret, in the reality of its complete text, warns of a general and widespread loss of the faith. The defection of the clergy. Of abominations performed at altars. The clues are in Scripture, and in the messages of Akita.
