Just over twenty years later, the "Lady" appeared again to the last remaining child, then a Religious Sister. At that time in 1939, the Lady came to ask for the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart so that Russia would be converted lest its "errors" be spread throughout the world and to prevent the "annihilation" of many nations.
Was the visionary, Sister Lucia, delusional?
She was certainly not delusional on May 13, 1917 or for the months after that. Some will argue that this is "private revelation" and I don't have to believe it because it is no in the catechism. Fine, don't. Yet, the Church has a feast day in honour of Our Lady of Fatima, there are shrines and churches and schools named after her; so clearly, something happened at Fatima.
In 1942 and again in 1952, Pope Pius XII attempted this "consecration." It was not done in the manner instructed [specifically Russia and Russia only and with all the bishops of the world united with the Pope.] It was attempted again twice by St. John Paul II but again, not in the form required.
So, was Sister Lucia delusional?
The answer must be "no." If she were delusional, then why did two Popes attempt the consecration? She must have been right or they would not have done so and those who say that the consecration has never been done must be right because nowhere in history can you find that it has occurred with the specific mention of "Russia!"
Is it too late as it was in France when the King failed to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart until it was too late for France, or is it just late?
Is the Russia of 1939 still the Russia of today? What of its errors and what of the annihilation of nations?
When we join Fatima with Our Lady of Akita we see an ominous time that could be nuclear catastrophe leading to the "annihilation of nations." This very day, talks continue to prevent or permit an nuclear Iran and Saudi Arabia may have used a tactical battlefield nuclear weapon in Yemen.
But is there something more about Russia's errors and what were they? We are living in a time when it is "late," for Russia's errors have spread and nations have been annihilated. We need to look beyond the obvious political and economic errors of "Russia" which are clearly communism. That Russia, the Soviet Union, no longer exists in a sense, de jure, though some will argue that there are those their that desire its de facto return. Does this mean that it is "too late" that the Consecration should not still occur? What were Russia's evils?
Communism is Godless, it is political atheism. It removes God and in His place, it exalts Man embodied in the State. It denies the image of God in Man and instead puts forward Rights of Man as if it itself were a god. Communism is Freemasonry and its errors have spread throughout the world. In the West - in Europe, Canada, the United States and Australia and elsewhere, communism has spread and infected our culture. Those communists of today know that there economic theory was a shame and a failure, that is obvious - they lost the battle, but they picked up another one and today they have achieved nearly final victory. Rampant secularism, corporate fascism, globalism, environmentalism, homosexualism, abortion are all the errors which stemmed from Russia and communism. Now we see more and more every day, the persecution of Christians and specifically, Catholics at the hands of the masonic-globalist-fascist monster with its roots in Russia where not even owners of pizzerias or flower-shops are safe.
More than political-economic
We have seen only nuclear war and the physical annihilation of nations as a possibility. The Bishop of Utrecht and Primate of Holland recently announced that one-thousand churches would soon close. Has Holland been annihilated as a nation? Belgium is another where abortion and euthanasia are practiced as a science and combined with low birth-rates are not so slowly ceding their nations to Islamism. The rest of Europe is not far behind. "Nations will be annihilated" by Russia's errors of atheism, secularism and the exaltation of Man. In North America, we are only behind Europe and moving quickly to join her in this self-destruction.
I propose that we have been missing a more critical element of Our Lady's message at Fatima and after 1939 that while not removing the political and economic element is something even greater and more damning - the corruption of the Catholic Church by Russia. This corruption has lead to the inability of Catholics, and therefore nations, to engage the culture of death and secularism that is leading us to destruction.
Was Our Lady, in speaking of the spread of Russia's errors speaking of the Catholic Church?
After the rise of communist Russia and the persecution of the Church, the Pope sent bishops clandestinely to Russia to ordain priests. Stalin was outraged and increased the persecution. More though than that, he determined that he had to destroy the Church, yet; he knew that he could not in an all out war.
The order went out around to communist cells throughout the world and particularly in the West to infiltrate the Church and destroy Her from within by destroying the faith of the people. We have the testimony to the United States Senate of Bella Dodd as well as her own book attesting to it. She personally planted over one-thousand men into the Catholic priesthood between 1930 and 1945. Stalin gave us the communist and atheist priests and they rose up the ranks to Vocation Directors, Seminary Rectors, Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals and they gave us more just like them and worse, they brought in the sodomites who would destroy lives and souls and the very fabric of the Church in scandal and shame.
They gave us Liberation Theology which has poisoned the Church in the Americas, even the African-American protestant churches have bought into this Marxist lie and heresy. We have the admittance that Liberation Theology was a KGB plot (as if we did not know that already) and we have a Pope who his rehabilitating the relationship of its founder. The Church with Paul VI's ostpolitik sold out the lives of Cardinals Mindzenty and Slipyj and will soon do the same with the real Catholics in China. The Second Vatican Council was taken over by modernists and heretics who laid "time-bombs" in the Documents that are rotting the Church from within with false-ecumenism, an inter-religious dialogue that refuses to preach Christ, a protestantised liturgy that fails to worship the Triune God in the fullness and therefore is deficient in grace and dissent tolerated where what was once true is no longer true and what was false is now treated as truth.
Russia's evils and errors are upon us and we are living it because of our sinfulness and lack of faith. The "great apostasy" is here. Islam is being used to confound us because of our lack of obedience to God who will not be mocked. In the same way that ancient Israel committed fornication and was chastised by God we are now reaping what our reward for committing fornication with the world - a world filled with the errors of Russia.
It is late, but it is not too late.
