Holy Week has passed and enable me to share with you what I've been reading in the Holy Week. I've written many times here that I only read books on background on our Catholic faith. A year ago we wrote about that quite interesting, albeit controversial book/magazine from Loreto Publications entitled "The Fourth Secret of Fatima" written by Catholic writer Antonio Socci. If you've been reading in regards to the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the Cova de Iria in Fatima from May 13 to Oct. 13, 1917, become familiar with much about the revelations by our Immaculate Mother for the whole world, which affects many of us, especially here in the Philippines. The Oct. 13, 1917 apparition gave these children, Jacinta, Francesco and Lucia (she became a nun and died only around 2005) three Secrets of that this 3rd Secret was not able to be revealed until 1960. On this book by Antonio Socci, he accuses Tarsisio Cardinal Bertone of masking the complete 3rd Secret who therefore wrote his own book to discredit Socci. Many experts have told that the 3rd Secret involved the apostasy within the top leadership with the Catholic Church. and if you ask the pertinent questions like, "If the Fatima apparitions were considered through the Vatican and succeeding Popes as Divinely inspired, why then were the request of our own Blessed Virgin Mary to consecrate her Immaculate Heart to Russia not heeded?" The present book that I've been reading is entitled "The Devil's Final Battle: How a rejection of the Fatima Prophecies Imminently threatens the Church as well as the world and what you can do about it to protect yourself and your family" compiled by Father Paul Kramer, The Missionary Association. The coverage of this book has a quote from Cardinal Mario Luigi Ciappi who said, "In the next Secret (of Fatima) it is foretold, amongst other things, that the great apostasy in the Church begins at the top." Scriptures teaches us that in John 3:16 "God so loved the World that he gave us his only begotten Son, in order that everyone who believes in him probably won't perish but might have eternal life." Because the 1800's, the Blessed Virgin Mary comes and appeared to simple people from La Salette, Rue du Bac, in Paris, Lourdes, Fatima, Kibeho, Betania, Venezuela, Knock, Ireland, Akita, Japan and Medjugorje sending us an email or warning and a call to conversion for that world has turned its back away from God. So if God sent his only Son Jesus Christ to save us, logic dictates that before a great chastisement befall on our world, he must have sent the Theotokos, mom of God to warn us and that's the key reason why the world experienced many apparitions in the Blessed Virgin Mary along with the most profound warnings are located in Fatima. As Fr. Paul Kramer wrote "in 1982 Pope John Paul II posed this query in his sermon on Fatima, "Can the Mother, Who because of the force of love that She fosters in the Holy Spirit and Who desires everyone's salvation, can she remain silent when She sees the very bases of Her children's salvation undermined? The Pope answered his own question, "No, She cannot remain silent." What intrigued Mr. Socci you will find, I too am intrigue with the statement of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima when she said, "In Portugal, the dogma of Faith will almost always be preserved." It is such mysterious statement that triggered Antonio Socci to create his book because he believes that the 3rd Secret of Fatima was never released in its entirety. Well know too well the dogma of Faith is being held at the Vatican in Rome. so why would the Blessed Virgin Mary say that the dogma of faith could be preserved in Portugal? It may only mean that the dogma in the Catholic Church will be challenged or even changed and this is what the apostasy is all about and it is happening even in our church. Fr. Kramer writes about changing our infallible dogma, "Another illustration of this undermining is the attack about the dogma that outside the Catholic Church there's no salvation. The Tridentine creed, quoted in full about, states, "I shall most constantly hold and profess this true Catholic faith, outside which there is no-one to be saved.. Yet today, the dogma is denied and undermined by an "ecumenism" which declares that neither the Protestant heretics nor the Orthodox schismatics need to return to the Catholic Church, for that reason "outdated ecclesiology. And in many other places today, the dogma is denied." But Socci and Fr. Kramer argue. this dogma was not ever changed, not even in Vatican II? If today there's still no World Peace, it is because the Catholic Hierarchy has refused to heed the request of our Immaculate Mother to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. You want to learn more about this, get a copy from the Fatima Crusader or email them at www.fatima.org or www.fatimachallenge.com. After her apparition the Blessed Mother said, "In the final my Immaculate Heart will triumph." If you want to observe something of the things, you then must go to Medjugorje.
