Hi Sparrow, I worked on the Fatima 3rd Secret for 9 Years and 10 Years with Garabandal, I probably know the main content of the Fatima 3rd Secret according to my own research, I went to Fatima as to Garabandal several times, from Bishop Venancio to our French Fatima Scholars (Frère Michel as de De Sainte Marie) via Father Gruner, Father Alonso and so on, My own research confirms the terrible part of the Secret as related to our Faith and Apostasy, 12 Lines are about Apostasy and starts with : in Portugal, the Dogma of the Faith....etc... then about 13 lines are about Papacy, the Lady is very sad and angry with the Hierarchy of the Church especially with some Popes, few of them are also quoted in the Secret as the last Council, a timetable is also indicated in the Secret and is related to the end of times of the Apocalypse of Saint John, Malachi was not wrong about the timetable, this explains also the Words of Pope Benedict in Fatima in 2010 : the famous 'may the 7 Years.....etc...."
Aviso, do you think that Pope BENEDICT resigned because of the message contained in the third secret? I have a feeling that he knows what is coming and his decision to resign played into it. Just a guess.....
Even as I hear that we have a Sorrowful Mother, I ask, but why. I know she mourns over the loss of souls, but is She suffering in heaven too....or has she offered to for our salvation? I don't know....[/QUOTE] Right - the Immaculate Heart is also the Sorrowful Heart. She often appears in apparitions as sad and even crying. I believe Our lady does offer up all this sorrow for her children and hence can use it for mitigation.
I was just going to ask this same question! I think he knew he could not contend with the extent of the apostasy and do the job he needed to do so he abdicated. He has certainly read the secret, right? I can't remember for sure..
Yes Sparrow, he did read it...all of the popes have. He also made a comment on it to the effect that its prophetic message has not been fully realized. ...or something on that order. Maybe someone can recall the exact quote....or correct me here. I don't want to mislead anyone. The third secret as revealed by the Vatican says that the pope is killed. They claim that it was related to pope JPII. Well, that cannot be true.....pope JPII was not killed! Maybe one to come will be, but Our a Lady did not give a false prophesy....the prophesy has not been completed.....it is yet to come. Maybe what the Vatican revealed was a portion of the message...but IMHO, it was not the whole truth.
Wow Dolours that is a lot of work! Thank you for doing this for all those who don't have time to listen to the tape Having listened to this interview many times one thing that is incorrect is that Fr. Martin said that Sister Lucy stated that the whole of the Third Secret was in chapters 12-17 of the Book of Revelation. You did indeed transcribe what he said correctly, but Fr. Martin made a mistake here as he was speaking off the cuff. Sister Lucy did indeed state that the Book of Revelation contains the whole of the Third Secret but she said it was contained in chapters 8-13. Just a small correction for those who are interested in looking up what she was referring to.
I think you are right on this point Dolours. I think the consecration of the world by Pope St. Joh Paul II was "acceptable" to heaven, at least enough to buy us some time. I think it gave us some fruits and prevented a world war before the year 2000. There are several Catholic prophecies which predict the Chastisement by the year 2000. Jeanne LeRoyer, Maximin of LaSalette, etc. Also possibly the one you transcribed for us (though that isn't approved). I think though the consecration wasn't done perfectly it delayed the Chastisement for a while.
