[Canticle_of_Deborah]

At his weekly public audience on March 24, Pope John Paul II (bio - news) recalled that 20 years ago, he consecrated "all of humanity" to the Virgin Mary, thus fulfilling "our Lady's plea at Fatima."

7Q: Didn’t the Pope succeed in performing the consecration of Russia in 1984?

A: No. As Sister Lucy herself declared in a September 1985 interview, the attempted consecration of March 25, 1984, did not satisfy Our Lady’s requests because “there was no participation of the bishops and there was no mention of Russia.” In consecrating the world in general on that date without mentioning Russia, the Holy Father himself acknowledged in the presence of tens of thousands of witnesses, both during and after the ceremony, that the people of Russia were still “awaiting our consecration and confiding.” The next day these statements were reported in the Pope’s own newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, and the Italian Bishops’ publication, L’Avvenire.

So, why is Rome trying to rewrite the Fatima request? I have gone out of my way NOT to criticize the Pope too much on this site. I have tried to give the benefit of the doubt to all the inconsistencies and illogical behaviors coming out of Rome. This is the last straw.

There's a good article that I read about the contradictory statements Sister Lucia has made concerning this consecration. I wonder if she has been co-opted.

Didn't take much, I guess.

The Gruenerites have gotten to you, too.
