In fact, the insistence that the popes are guilty of serious fault for not following the instructions of Our Lady at Fatima turns the authority of the Church on its head. It is of the essence of Christianity that Christ Himself was the full revelation of the Father, and that the deposit of faith—the Revelation on which the mission of the Church was based—was closed with the death of the last apostle. Subsequent locutions and apparitions may be given to individuals, but they are essentially private in character, not part of the public Revelation committed to the Church. It belongs to the Church to judge these private revelations, and not for these private revelations to be used to judge the Church.

What do you think about the Pope[s] not definitively following the request of Our Lady, that Russia be consecrated?
