"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day, recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church and altars will be vandalized. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
"The demon will rage especially against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will no longer be pardon for them."
Given the correspondence of these two prophecies, one must wonder if this declaration of Venerable by Pope Benedict XVI on September 14, 2011 (also the fourth anniversary of Summorum Pontificum going into effect) may be a way of once again bringing attention back to the Third Secret of Fatima.
Howard Dee, former Philippine ambassador to the Vatican, said in a 1998 interview with Inside the Vatican magazine:
“Bishop Ito [the local bishop, now deceased] was certain Akita was an extension of Fatima, and Cardinal Ratzinger personally confirmed to me that these two messages, of Fatima and Akita, are essentially the same.”
Also recall the concerns of Msgr. Eugene Pacelli, the future Pope Pius XII, about changing the liturgy:
"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. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past.
"A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

Ping!
Yep. See my tagline.....
Thanks for this post.
Hey, how dare you interrupt my Saturday so I have to take an hour out to study this.
(Actually, thank you very much. Nothing is more important).
Can't get much more direct and unambiguous than that.
Dr., thank you for posting this. I agree that the timing is very interesting, as well as intriguing. This humble freeper still hopes and prays for an ordinariate or some such for the SSPX.
Bump to read later.
Russia is still a threat with Putin in Power. I met the Mother of the personal guard for Kissinger. She recalls her son being very amazed at the ego of Putin. Very selfish person. Also very evil. Kissenger goes to each country of interest during a year.
Some of this prophecy matches up with non catholic visions.
For later.
