Correction: Not Pius XI but Pius XII. The 3rd Secret went to Rome in 1957 after the Holy Office demanded it. It was Pius XII who had the opportunity to read it but probably did not.
I do not question Mel's awareness of the 3rd Secret's importance. But he might be taking a lot of risk making a movie about it since its verifiable contents are not yet officially made public. He would have to rely on the testimony of various people, which might be different from each other, and he would have to decide which one to believe. If I were him, I would be afraid of interfering with the Church's process.

Good Work, db74.
I guess I have to change my postings to read that Pope BENEDICT the 15th was the Pope at the time of the Miracle of FATIMA.
Pope JOHN PAUL the Great attributed our Lady of FATIMA's deflection of an expert assasin's bullet awary from his heart during the attempt on his life in the 1980's.
MEL is already in the target hairs of the Catholic Church for his promoting the restoration of the Latin Liturgical Mass against Vatican II.
Why would MEL change now with a 3rd Secret of FATIMA, that was devinely instructed to be fully revealed in 1960 by a another Pope, still partially under wraps..?
Especially with a new Pope that himself feels the same as the just passed Pope about FATIMA, a story for our Time that some say foretell of fire from the sky that will take away both the faithful with the unfaithful.
