into Heaven, He did not leave


us destitute He sent us the
Holy Ghost (See page 35). And
when God took Father Gruner
to his eternal rest, he, also, did
not leave us destitute. He left us
the truth of Fatima and our Faith
in all his teachings and writings
and speeches.
This Fatima Crusader is
not unlike all those that Father
Gruner inspired while he was
still with us in body.
He left us with a wealth of
wisdom, understanding and
inspiration to pass on to you
under the same strong leadership
and Directorship that supported
Father Gruner all these years.
And the same worldwide experts
on Fatima and the Faith will
continue updating you with the
things you need to know whats
going on in the world, whats
going on in the Church, and
the consolation and inspiration
you need to hold onto the Faith
whole and entire.
Dont Give Up!
At our Only the Pope Can
Save Washington conference in
Washington, D.C., we had been
given a prime position in front of
the Capitol wherein the Pope
and political leaders could not

avoid seeing Our Ladys statue


and World Peace banners. At the
last minute we were moved to a
site two blocks away where
we could not even see the Capitol
and perhaps, by political ploy
nor would the Pope or President
be able to see FATIMA!
A gentleman at the conference
asked me, Did that make you
lose confidence? My reply:
Absolutely NOT! Undaunted,
we pressed on, knowing with
faith: Now were on Our
Ladys plan this should be very
interesting! And it was.
We were moved to plot 13
(Fatimas number) and it was
the most beautiful site in the
entire area with a beautiful
water fountain in a flowered
park-like setting. And because
of this location, we were able to
proceed through the streets of
Washington, holding Our Lady
high in all Her glory as She
showered Her Maternal blessings
on the passersby and made Her
urgent Message known wider
and wider. She turned Her
rejection from the Capitol into
a joyous and blessed event.
Have faith in Jesus and Mary.
Their plan always outshines our
own. Your perceived falters may
be the sacrifice Heaven is asking
for to save more souls! |

wish there was another answer.
But there isnt. This is the only
way. This is the Will of God and
He is not changing His mind.
The thoughts of His Heart
are to all generations. Our Lords
Heart is not just a symbol, but
actually is full of love and, of
course, His greatest love is for
His Mother. She is greater than
all the saints and weve had
some very great saints, but She
is greater than all of them. He
loves Her more, not just because
She is His Mother, but because
She is the holiest creature that
ever was made or will be made.
And He wants Her to be exalted.
So there we have it. Where
does this leave the Church?
There are those who hold that
the Church has no obligation
regarding Fatima; that it is
simply a private revelation and

Sister Lucy was questioned,


why Our Lord would not
convert Russia or bring about
world peace except through the
Consecration of Russia.
She asked this of Jesus and
He replied:
Because I want My
whole Church to recognize
that Consecration as a
triumph of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, so that
later on, My Church will
extend the devotion to
the Immaculate Heart and
place Her devotion beside
devotion to My Sacred
Heart.
Sister Lucy, responding to
this, tells us:
That is why God insists. This
is the way, and the only way, and
nothing else will work.

THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA


IMPOSES AN OBLIGATION
ON THE CHURCH

14:29:15

15-10-13

The Fatima Crusader | Winter 2015

Cyan, Magenta, Black

The Obligation to Believe


How can we be so sure about
that? We can base that on several
things. First of all, before we get
to the obligation to obey, lets
get to the obligation to believe.
Philosophy is the study of final
things in the light of reason alone
without the benefit of revelation.
The philosophy that deals with
what we are all obliged to do is
called ethics in its classic term.
Even by simple ethics, we
can prove the obligation to
believe Fatima even without
quoting Scripture once.
Very simply, we have the
obligation to believe our fellow
men. First of all, man has been
made to live in community. That
is, we live, we depend on each
other. Some are good typists
and others are good thinkers or
writers or whatever else we do.
None of us has enough talent
and ability to live without the

help of someone else. God made


us that way. We are dependent
on our fellow men, all of us are,
for different things things that
we are not good at.
And so, even in the Church,
God has made us that way.
Certainly, the Pope and bishops
and the priests have gifts and
authority that others do not
have. But the Pope and bishops
and priests also need the help
of others. That is the way God
intended it that we live in
community, that we depend
upon each other. Therefore, in
order for us to live in community
we must, first of all, be able to
believe a reasonable person
when he tells us something
reasonable and we have no
counter indication to think that
there is something wrong with
what he says.
If we werent bound to believe
our fellow man of goodwill, then
we couldnt live in society. Its
as fundamental as that. And so
there is no real reason for not
believing the 70,000 witnesses
that they really saw the miracles
on October 13th. There is no
real reason for not believing the
approval of seven popes that the
Message of Fatima is worthy of
belief. There is no real reason
for refusing to accept what the
children of Fatima told us.

Pg05_CR113_Gruner.p1.p1.pdf

if the Pope wants to ignore it he


can perfectly well do so. And if
the bishops want to ignore it,
they, also, can perfectly well do
so. And so can all the priests and
everybody else if they want to.
That is the theory; that is the
thesis; that is the understanding
of most people today. But,
unfortunately, that theory is
completely wrong and may lead
millions of souls into hell!

Do Not Despise Prophecy


The next thing is, on the basis
of Scripture, we have various
passages which no one would
dispute. I think the first passage
you will find is in the book of the
First Letter of Saint Paul to the
Thessalonians, Chapter 5, verse
19, in which he says:
Do not extinguish the spirit,
do not despise prophecy, but test
all things and hold fast to that
which is good.
The first thing he says is, do
not extinguish the spirit. The
Holy Spirit can and does speak to
every generation with prophetic
messages.
Saint Thomas Aquinas, the
greatest theologian, tells us
that every generation receives
prophecies from the Holy Spirit.
If we start off with the
assumption that God can
send a prophet and give us a
message and we dont have to
believe it, were already going

obligation, depending on what


it is. We either believe or dont
believe them. If its something
not important, there may be
some slight sin in not believing
them; but if it is something
really important and we have no
reason to doubt it, then, to refuse
to believe is also a sin, even on
the natural level.

Pg06_CR113_Gruner.p1.p1.pdf

And so, as such, we are


bound to believe them just
on the natural human level
alone. We could develop that
further. I wrote a thesis for
philosophy on that basis alone.
But there is much more than
just philosophy or ethics to
prove the obligation to believe.
What I mentioned is: first of all,
there are those who think that,
Well, if it is not an Article of
Faith, I have no obligation to
believe whatsoever, and that
is a completely false conception
of our obligation to live in this
world.
Everything is not revealed
in the Scriptures, but we have
obligations that are taught. As
Saint Paul tells us in Romans,
we have obligations which the
Natural Law itself tells us. Now
we do know that God has also
reinforced the Natural Law by
revealing much of it, if not all
of it, in Sacred Scripture. But
the fact is, we are also bound by
the Natural Law itself, whether
or not its in the Bible or in
tradition.
We are also bound by the
Natural Law and believing our
fellow men is part of the Natural
Law. We dont have to believe
everybody all the time, but we
do have to believe reasonably,
our fellow men. Thats an
obligation and it can be a serious

The Gift of Prophecy


But besides the hierarchy,
there is also the charism, or
the gift, of prophecy. And
that charism also is what the
Church is built upon, not just
the hierarchy. The Church is
built upon the charism or the
foundation of the apostles with

Christ Jesus, Himself, the chief


cornerstone. Built upon that
is the apostles as well as the
prophets, and in that analogy
the foundation stone is what you
build upon; then the apostles are
the next foundational stone and
after that are the prophets.
So what is the relationship
between the prophets of
the New Testament and the
apostles? Again, you go back
to Thessalonians, Chapter 5,
verse 19, and he tells us: Do
not despise prophecy, do not
extinguish the spirit, but test
all things. So its the role of the
hierarchy to test the prophet; to
see if the prophet, indeed, comes
from God.
Not all people who claim to
have the gift of prophecy are
prophets. That is why we dont
promote apparitions which are
not approved by the Church not
because they all are ipso facto
false, but because we do not have
the time or maybe the ability or
both to actually examine every
one and test them.
The Church has tested Fatima.
The Church has said that Fatima
is worthy of belief. That is why
we promote that Fatima has
been tested. But also, we have
the command of God through
Saint Paul, telling us to hold fast
to that.

Pg07_CR113_Gruner.p1.p1.pdf

against Scripture because that


fundamental attitude is despising
prophecy; its extinguishing the
Holy Spirit. We are forbidden to
do that in the Bible itself. Thats
not the only passage you will
find its in Colossians and its a
famous quote that the Church
is built upon the foundation of
the apostles and the prophets.
Now regarding those who
interpret the word prophets
as being the prophets of the Old
Testament, its not incorrect
to believe that because the
prophets of the Old Testament
have a lot to tell us even today.
Theres another interpretation
of that passage which means that
the Church is built upon the
prophets of the New Testament.
We have learned that there is a
hierarchy, and God has certainly
made a hierarchy. There is a pope
and the bishops and the priests.
The Council of Trent defines that
all three of them are members
of the hierarchy, obviously in
limited and various degrees.

A Heaven-sent
Command Ignored
Jesus commanded that the
Pope command the bishops
to consecrate Russia in union
with him. He expressed His
unhappiness:
Make it known to My
ministers, given they follow
the example of the King
of France in delaying the
execution of My command,
like him they will follow
him into misfortune.
Our Lord says that the King
of France was punished; he was
beheaded; he was killed as a
criminal. Why? For one reason
because he did not obey in
time the command to consecrate
France to the Sacred Heart.
Now there may be those
who say: Well, thats too bad,
he didnt know he had to obey;
he didnt have to obey; he was
given a message through a saint
who wasnt canonized then.

Cyan, Magenta, Black

We Owe Obedience
to God First
The hierarchy is to judge
whether this message comes
from God or not, and having
done so, the hierarchy is bound
to obey not the prophet,
but God, Whom they have
determined had spoken through
the prophet.
All obedience is given to God.
If we must obey the policeman or
we must obey the Pope, if they
have jurisdiction in a matter
where they tell us to do things,
then were bound to obey not
as obeying man, but as obeying
God, Who speaks through, or
uses these persons, to tell us
what we must do.

The hierarchy that is,


the Pope and the bishops and
the priests and everyone else,
including the laypeople have
to obey too. The Consecration
of Russia is a command of God.
Our Lord came to Sister Lucy
again in 1931, after the formal
request made before the Most
Blessed Trinity commanding the
Consecration of Russia.

Pg08_CR113_Gruner.p1.p1.pdf

Its the role of the hierarchy


to test the prophet in this
case, FATIMA. Its been found
by the hierarchy to be good, and
therefore we are bound to hold
fast to it, and for that matter,
so are the Pope and the bishops
bound to hold fast to it.
So then, are we trying to say
that Sister Lucy, for example, is
more important than the Pope, or
that she can command the Pope?
The answer is very simple. No,
she does not command the Pope.
Rather, God uses the prophet, in
this case Sister Lucy, to transmit
a message and she transmitted
the message faithfully.

You have the Miracle of the
Sun before 70,000 people.
You have Our Lady telling Her
skeptics that if they dont believe,
to come on such and such a date
at such and such a time and She
would prove to them that God is
behind this message. She laid
down the challenge and all of
us have the obligation to seek
the truth.
We are told in 2 Thessalonians,
Chapter 2, that the antichrist
comes because Catholics have
lost the love for truth.
It is a fundamental attitude to
seek the truth, to love the truth,
to defend the truth. And, as such,
we all have the obligation to seek

The Obligation To Believe Fatima


Is Based on Scripture
So this obligation then is
not just based on reason, its
also based on the Scripture;
its also based on a further
argument which Ive given and
which no one has answered
me yet. There are theologians
whether conservative or
liberal, whether left or right
who will disagree with what
Ive said. There are those who
even have the reputation of
being ultraconservative who
would think Im wrong, but
the argument goes something
like this. There are two kinds
of revelations. There are public
revelations which were closed
at the death of the last apostle

and there are private revelations


which you are not bound to
believe.
There are theologians today
among them, Bishop Graber,
a theologian in his own right
who have pointed out that
these are not the only kinds of
revelations. There is also a public
prophetic revelation. That is, not
in Scripture, not in the Deposit
of Faith, but, nevertheless, is
binding because its not simply
a private revelation. A private
revelation, strictly speaking, is
for a person, a private person.

Pg10_CR113_Gruner7.p1.p1.pdf

otherwise it would be wrong


for Him to punish them for
something they are not obliged
to do. And when I say them, I
think were all included because,
at some point, we either havent
prayed enough or sacrificed
enough or told our friends and
neighbors, or done what we
could to make it understood.
And if that is true for us, its
much more true for many others
who falsify the message, who
claim to be devoted to Our Lady
of Fatima. Whether they see that
or not, God knows, but thats
what they are doing.

You Cannot Deny the Evidence


In Support of Fatima
Well, if you looked at the
evidence you would be forced
to believe it; if you refuse to
look at the evidence, you are
not thereby off the hook. Saint
Thomas Aquinas proves in his
Summa Theologica that just
because you keep yourself in
ignorance, that is not an excuse
for you being in ignorance, that
and your ignorance will not
excuse you on Judgment Day
because you refused to learn
the truth. He says, in fact, that
your guilt is greater because you
refused to learn the truth.
And so this obligation is real.
I would be happy to debate
anyone, and there are plenty of
them out there who think that
were completely wrong in this.
But this point is fundamental.
The excuse that the Church
has been hiding behind for the
last 50 years for not doing the
consecration is that they dont
think they have the obligation,
and that is so patently false.

the truth. Here we have a public


prophetic revelation given to the
whole world with these witnesses,
and yet some would say, I dont
have to believe it, and close
their mind and go on with their
business. It cannot possibly be
that they have no obligation just
because they say, I refuse to
look, I refuse to see, I refuse to
know. That is not characterized
by love for the truth. The largest
opponent to Fatima is exactly
characterized by that.
Father Dhanis, a Jesuit priest,
made a whole life career of
debunking Fatima by refusing
to look at the evidence. In the
1940s, during the Second World
War, there were some people
who took liberties with the text
of Our Ladys message the
second part of the Secret and
changed Her words. That was
a big disservice. According to
them, they didnt want to hurt
the war effort and, therefore,
they took out the word Russia
from Our Ladys words: Russia
will spread her errors.
Now it was evident to a man
like Dhanis that something had to
be done to the text so that before
the end of the war, he could say
he did a service by pointing out
that they had doctored the text.
But when the war was over, it
was offered to him to come
and read the original text, to

Our Time of Mercy


Is Running Out
Do What You Can Now!
This generation has not
recognized it and we will pay
the price for it not just the Pope
and the bishops. Its up to each
of us to do our part to make it
known, to make it understood,
and to live Fatima by praying

five decades of the Rosary and


wearing the Brown Scapular.
Our Lady held out the Scapular
for all of us to wear. You know,
these things look very small, but
these things are very great in
Gods eyes.
We must do what we can with
what God gives us to our hand.
That is all He asks us to do. But
He also asks us to understand
these things and to encourage
others to give them more
importance. Saint Augustine
said: Being a Christian, I rejoice
with you. Being a bishop, I
tremble the responsibility I
have is much greater. He very
much appreciated the help
that he got from priests and lay
people to fulfill his job. Im sure
all good bishops would feel the
same way. That is why we must
not forget to pray and sacrifice
for all good bishops and priests
and especially for the Pope;
that he will receive the graces
necessary to fulfill the mission
given him by Our Lady of Fatima
to consecrate Russia to Her
Immaculate Heart. God bless
you and thank you. |

Pg12_CR113_Gruner.p1.p1.pdf

The obligation to believe and


to obey is based, of course, on
reason, on Sacred Scripture,
and on the fact that Fatima
is an established fact of such
magnitude.
It is a fulfillment of biblical
prophecy when you see that
weve had 14,400 wars in 6,000
years of recorded history, and yet
Our Lady of Fatima promises to
stop that. The only place that is
predicted besides Fatima is in
Sacred Scripture where we are
told: They will learn the art
of war no more. That has not
happened from the time that
Isaiah and Micheas made these
prophecies to the present day.
Our Lady says that time is now.
The significance of Fatima is
a milestone in human history
beyond anything. Its much
more important than Vatican
II or World War II or anything
else, other than the life of Christ,
Himself. It is a milestone in the
history of mankind.

Lisbon, instructed the parish

investigation into the case.
So the Church, from the
beginning, was investigating
the claims and interviewing
the witnesses. This investigation
came to fruition when Bishop
da Silva of Fatima officially
approved the apparition as
worthy of belief. This could not
have been difficult, since, unlike
most historical events, the events
on October 13th at Fatima had
innumerable witnesses, whose
testimonies agree, and who have
left innumerable documents.
These innumerable accounts
of the events that October day
were meticulously documented
from the beginning until our
own time. These accounts of the
events came out in the decades
when eyewitnesses were still
alive, leaving open the possibility
that the accounts could be
refuted by the eyewitnesses.
They could have objected when

Masonic Press Testifies


to Truth of Miracle
When looking for reliable
sources concerning historical
events, it is always best to
consult those who have no
bias or vested interest in
the events. If they testify to the
truth of the historical claim, the
claim is bolstered immeasurably.
If, however, the witnesses are
professionally hostile and yet
testify to the truth of the claims
of their opponents, the testimony
is of incalculable worth. We have
this kind of testimony in the
account of Avelino de Almeida,
the Editor-in-Chief of O Seculo,
a liberal, anti-clerical, and
Masonic daily paper in Lisbon.
Mr. de Almeida was actually a
witness to the events at the Cova
da Iria.
To this testimony of the
anti-Catholics, we add the
testimony of the Church. The
official investigation into the
miracle itself began in November
1917. Monsignor Vidal, who
was directing the diocese of

Let us follow the account of

it that of another eyewitness,

Message to the unbelievers.
Again, we return to the
account of the miraculous
events on the day of the 13th
given us by Avelino de Almeida,
the self-professed anti-Catholic
witness. It is worth noting that
the editors of the other anticlerical newspapers attacked de
Almeida for his report. But even
in the face of such criticism by
his comrades he did not retreat
from his testimony. In fact, 15
days after his original account
of the Miracle, he published
another story about the events,
this time illustrating it with 12
pictures taken of the crowd in
the midst of the Miracle of the
Sun. Throughout this article, de
Almeida just kept repeating, I
saw it I saw it I saw it.

pg14_CR113_CHOJNOWSKI.p1.p1.pdf

anniversary of the Miracle of


the Sun, there were some 30
eyewitnesses who could still
testify to the events on that day.
What also adds to the veracity
of the claims concerning the
Miracle of the Sun is the fact that
the miracle itself was witnessed
by some 70,000 people that day.
Their testimony is unanimous.
However, who were these
witnesses, other than our
Masonic newspaperman, Avelino
de Almeida? Were there only
Portuguese Catholic peasants
who attended this anticipated
miracle?
The answer here is, of course,
no. The Portuguese historian,
Leopoldo Nues, who was
present on the scene on October
13th, says: At the moment of
the great Miracle there were
present some of the most
illustrious men of letters, in the
arts and the sciences, and almost
all were unbelievers coming out
of curiosity, led by the prediction
of the seers. Even the Minister
of Education of the Masonic
government was there.
So, many of the anti-Catholics
who were perpetrated to have
not been present at the miracles
were, in fact, present at Fatima at
the moment of the Miracle. Here
we have Our Lady, at the request
of Lucy, who sought to prove

transformed the dusty roads into
muddy quagmires. What does
de Almeida say concerning the
response of the people to these
adverse conditions? They did
not lose hope and they did not
forget the cause for which they
came.
The day of October 13th
arrived. De Almeida continues:
By 10 oclock the sky was
completely hidden behind the
clouds and the rain began to
fall in earnest. Swept by the
strong wind and beating upon
the faces of the people, it soaked
the pilgrims, often without
protection against the weather,

But no one complained or turned
back Hours of waiting The
great mass of people congregate
round the oak tree which,
according to the children, is Our
Ladys pedestal.
What amazes us about
the Miracle of the Sun is the
specificity of Our Lady, just as
God Himself is so specific in
all that He does. God does not
merely create, sustain, or guide
the general. Our Lady said in
July of 1917 that She would
perform a miracle at midday
on the 13th of October. But it
was after noon, how can we
say that Our Ladys promise

You see its all a delusion. Run

In response to this skepticism
and doubt, Lucy refused to go. It
was midday, so the priest began
to push the three children away
from the site. Then the simple
faith of Lucy took over. She
began to cry and said: If anyone
wants to go, I shall stay where I
am. Our Lady said She would
come. She came the other times
and She will come this time too.
At that moment Lucy looked
to the east and said to Jacinta:
Jacinta, kneel down. Our Lady
is coming. I saw the lightning.

account, the impatient priest
did not say another word and the
children never saw him again.

to the place where the platform
has been erected. When Lucy
asks them no, orders them
to shut their umbrellas in the

goes against intuition, the order
is transmitted and executed right
away without resistance. Then
they wait. What if there was no

All the Colors of the Rainbow


With the Dance of the Sun
something else began to happen.
The landscape, and everything
in it, began to take on, in
succession, all the colors of the
rainbow. Dr. Garrett testifies:
During the solar phenomenon
there were changes of color
in the atmosphere I looked
first at the nearest objects and
then extended my glance further
afield as far as the horizon, I saw

everything an amethyst color.


Objects around me, the sky and
the atmosphere, were of the
same color Soon I heard a
peasant who was near me shout
out in tones of stupefaction:
Look, that Lady is all yellow!
And, in fact, everything both
near and far had changed to
yellow. People looked as if they
were suffering jaundice My
own hand was of the same color.
The exact same report comes
from another witness, Maria
do Carmo: The sun took on
all the colors of the rainbow.
Everything took on the same
colors: our faces, our clothes,
the earth itself.

This was not the sparkling of a

Also, It spun like a firewheel,

The evidence that I will
present demonstrates that Lucia
recorded Our Ladys words in
a letter to her bishop, and the
vision on notebook paper not
addressed to anyone. Lucias
letter to her bishop containing
Our Ladys actual, verbalized
words consists of about 25
lines, while the vision released
by the Vatican is 62 lines; the
letter was written on a single
sheet of paper, separate from
the notebook paper Lucia used
to write the vision.
The letter was written on (or
shortly before) January 9, 1944
(while the vision was written on
January 3, 1944).

What Is the Third Secret of


Fatima?
The Third Secret of Fatima is
the last part of the message Our
Lady gave the children on July 13,
1917. The Secret consists of two
parts: (1) Lucias description
of a vision of the execution of a
Pope, bishops, clergy and other
faithful by soldiers outside a city
in ruins, and (2) Our Ladys
words explaining the vision and
other matters concerning the
Church and the world (including

a prophecy of apostasy in the


Church beginning just after the
middle of the 20th Century),
which begins with the phrase In

What Is the Vision of the


Bishop Dressed in White?
As mentioned, the Vatican
finally released the text of
the vision on June 26, 2000
(40 years late) along with
commentary in a document
called The Message of Fatima, but
still has not released the letter,
which remains hidden.
With the June 2000 release,
we learn that part of the Third
Secret reveals a frightening,
material chastisement involving
a Pope, along with other
members of the Church, being
viciously executed by soldiers
using bullets and arrows in a
city in ruins and littered with
corpses. Because there has been
no such public execution of a
Pope and other faithful to date,
this prophecy remains for the
future.
Lucias descriptions in the
vision are quite curious, and
may suggest the presence of
two Bishops dressed in White
in the Vatican during the
execution, which we currently
have with Pope Francis and Pope
Emeritus Benedict (and which
is a completely unprecedented
situation in Church history).
I actually mentioned this
possibility in my talk in Rome
in 2012, the year before Benedict
XVI announced his resignation.

pg23_CR113_SALZA.p1.p1.pdf

Both documents were


placed in separately sealed
envelopes, each containing
Our Ladys express order
that both documents were to
be made public in 1960. The
envelope containing the letter
was delivered to the Vatican
on April 16, 1957 (while the
envelope containing the vision
was delivered on April 4, 1957).
The letter was stored in the papal
apartment in a writing desk
called Barbarigo (while the
vision was stored in the Secret
Archives of the Holy Office).
The record also shows that
Popes John XXIII, Paul VI and
John Paul II read the Third
Secret on two different dates,
indicating two different texts. As
we will see, John XXIII read two
texts; one (the letter) around
August 20, 1959 and the other
(the vision) in 1960. Paul VI read
also two texts; one (the letter) on
June 27, 1963 and the other (the
vision) on March 27, 1965. John
Paul II also read two texts; one
(the letter) in October 1978 and
the other (the vision) on July
18, 1981.
[After Mr. Salza proved the
foregoing facts in great detail,
he went on to address the part of
the Third Secret released by the
Vatican in 2000, of the Bishop
dressed in White.]

How did the Vatican


Interpret the Vision In Its
June 26, 2000 Document,
The Message of Fatima?
In a way that is contrary
to reason. In the June 2000
document, Cardinal Sodano
and Archbishop Bertone attempt
to divest Fatima of any future
prophetic realities and consign
it to the past. How exactly? By
actually suggesting that the
prophetic vision Our Lady gave in
1917 (of the execution of a Pope
and other faithful by soldiers
with bullets and arrows in a city
in ruins) was fulfilled in Mehmet
Ali Agcas failed assassination
attempt of John Paul II on May
13, 1981. The obvious problems
with the Vatican interpretation
are as follows:
1) John Paul II was not killed;
2) John Paul II was not at the
top of a mountain at the foot of
a cross when he was shot;
3) no one else in St. Peters
Square was shot at, much less
killed, that day;
4) Ali Agca was not a soldier;
5) Ali Agca was a lone
gunman;
6) Ali Agca did not use arrows
in addition to bullets; and,
7) Rome was not a city in
ruins.

After describing an image


similar to how people appear
in front of a mirror, Lucia sees
a Bishop dressed in White who
gave the children the impression
that it was the Holy Father.
Why would Lucia say she had
an image and the impression
he was the Holy Father if he were
really the Pope?
Is this Bishop dressed in
White the same person as the
Holy Father who is killed by
a group of soldiers with bullets
and arrows later in the vision?
Or is Lucia making a distinction
between the true Pope and an
anti-pope?
Given the public challenges
to the validity of the Bergoglio
election, does this Pope/antipope scenario actually exist
today? Could the Bishop
dressed in White be Pope
Emeritus Benedict, who still
gives the impression of the
Holy Father? Or is it Francis,
the Bishop of Rome? Or, is it
another Pope (or bishop) in the
future? And is the big city half
in ruins Rome (the cork tree
being indigenous to Rome)?
We will never know until the
Church releases the hidden text,
or the prophesied chastisements
materialize, God forbid, for the
Popes failure to consecrate
Russia.

20 years, until the year 2000,


to reveal a prophecy that was
allegedly fulfilled in 1981? In
fact, Cardinal Oddi reported in
Il Sabato magazine on October
17, 1990 that Lucia met with
John Paul II in May 1982 and
it was decided that the vision
would not be released because it
might be misinterpreted. But if
the prophetic vision was already
fulfilled in 1981, then the vision
could not be misinterpreted in
1982 or any other time due to its
fulfillment.
Further, if the Third Secret
prophecy was fulfilled in 1981,
then John Paul II would not have
needed to do a consecration in
1984 to prevent the conditional
chastisement from occurring;
it would have already occurred
in 1981.
Finally, on April 19, 2000,
John Paul II wrote a letter to
Lucia (a copy of which was
included in the June 26, 2000
document) in which he says he

The Third Secret,


the Upcoming Synod, and
Apostasy in the Church
Why the cover-up? Because,
as I will demonstrate in my next
talk, the Third Secret warns
of apostasy in the Church,
beginning with the Churchs
highest leaders (the Pope and
bishops). This apostasy, no
doubt formally triggered by
Vatican II, is coming to a head
under the reign of Pope Francis
and, in particular, with his socalled Synod on the Family.
While Vatican II created
primarily a doctrinal crisis in the
Church, the Synod could create
a moral crisis of unprecedented
proportions, if the traditional
doctrine of marriage is
undermined, and sodomites and
fornicators are admitted to Holy
Communion, thereby unleashing
unthinkable sacrilege against the
Blessed Sacrament. While many
of the bishops are steeped in
Modernism, it would appear that
a good share of them will draw
a line in the sand on traditional
Catholic morality. We can only
hope and pray that is the case,

Cyan, Magenta, Black

Is the Vaticans assassination


attempt interpretation of the
vision binding upon Catholics?
No. According to the Fifth
Lateran Council, the Pope
alone has the authority to give
a binding interpretation on
prophecy, and Pope John Paul
II provided no interpretation
of the vision in the June 26,
2000 document. Rather, the
document was issued by two
Cardinals and an Archbishop
and concedes it is only an
attempted interpretation of
the prophecies.
Cardinal Ratzinger, who
provides the theological
commentary on the vision,
prefaces his written analysis
by saying Before attempting
an interpretation and
Before undertaking an
interpretation, finally
describing his efforts as An
attempt to interpret the secret
of Fatima. At the June 26, 2000
press conference, Ratzinger also
said, It is not the intention of
the Church to impose a single
interpretation. 3 Ratzinger
also makes it clear that the
attempted interpretation
is that of Cardinal Sodano,

and not the Popes. Of course,


Vatican officials, who have no
authority to interpret prophecy,

Unfortunately, only a
few bishops, like the great
Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre,
responded to the doctrinal
crisis caused by Vatican II and
the New Mass. Almost all the
rest of the bishops caved in. But
it seems that God is going to give
the bishops one more chance,
to stand up for Catholic Truth,
this time to defend Our Lords
teaching on marriage and the
family. As we approach the
100th Anniversary of Fatima,
the results of this Synod may be
the final test that God will use
to sift the wheat from the chaff
before He punishes the world
with the chastisement revealed
in the Third Secret unless the
Pope prevents the chastisement
with the Consecration of Russia.

1990s. It is clear that Satans


plan is now in ascendance.
Let us popularize vice
amongst the multitude.
In his 1884 encyclical against
Freemasonry, Humanum Genus,
Pope Leo XIII warned that the
Secret Societies strive to corrupt
morals in society, since the
man who is morally weakened
will more readily come under
the influence of their godless
principles.
After speaking of stage plays,
books and pamphlets that
are remarkable for license
(which would be considered
tame compared to today),
Pope Leo warned: For, since
generally no one is accustomed
to obey crafty and clever men so
submissively as those whose soul
is weakened and broken down by
the domination of the passions,
there have been in the sect of
the Freemasons some who have
plainly determined and proposed

Cyan, Magenta, Black

t is astounding that many


Catholics including those
who represent various
Fatima Apostolates actually
propound the idea that Pope
John Paul IIs 1984 consecration
of the world fulfilled Our Ladys
request to consecrate Russia,
even though Russia was not
mentioned, and the bishops of
the world did not participate.
Even more astonishing: many
Catholics have lost the sense of
the Faith so severely, they fail to
see that we live not in a period
that in any way resembles the
triumph of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary. Rather, we live in an

Is Communist Goals
to Subvert Us
We see Communism
announced similar aims. In 1958,
former FBI agent Leon Skousen
documented 45 Communist
goals to subvert America from
within. They are detailed in his

book, The Naked Communist.


Here are five of these goals:
Goal 24: Eliminate all laws
governing obscenity by calling
them censorship and a
violation of free speech;
Goal 25: Break down cultural
standards of morality by
promoting pornography and
obscenity in books, magazines,
motion pictures, radio and TV;
Goal 16: Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as normal, natural,
healthy;
Goal 27: Infiltrate the
Churches and replace revealed
religion with social religion.
Discredit the Bible;
Goal 40: Discredit the family
as an institution. Encourage
promiscuity and easy divorce.
Each of these goals listed
by Mr. Skousen, considered
unthinkable in the America of
1958, are not only accomplished
in the United States, but are
principal components in todays
pop-culture, as purveyed by
Hollywood, rock and roll, MTV,
Internet and countless other
media.5
Now, to take this up to the
present: we see the forces of
organized naturalism, the force
of secularism, and yes, even the
forces of the Communist spirit at

that, artfully and of set purpose,


the multitude should be satiated
with a boundless license of vice,
as, when this had been done, it
would easily come under their
power and authority 1
The infamous 19th Century
Masonic document The Permanent
Instruction of the Alta Vendita2
likewise speaks of their plan to
spread immorality, especially by
the corruption of women. In
order to destroy Catholicism,
it is necessary to commence by
suppressing women but since
we cannot suppress women, let
us corrupt her.3
The Alta Vendita said further:
Tertullian was right in saying
that the blood of the martyrs was
the seed of Christians. Let us,
then, not make martyrs, but let
us popularize vice amongst the
multitude. Let us cause them to
draw it in by their five senses; to
drink it in, to be saturated with
it Make vicious hearts and you
will have no more Catholics
It is corruption en masse that
we have undertaken.4

1992: Communist Party USA


There is a fascinating
documentary released a few
years back called Grinding
America Down by former Idaho
Representative Curtis Brown.
In the beginning of the
documentary, Rep. Brown
tells the story of when he was
a graduate student in 1992,
a writer-acquaintance asked
Brown to attend a weekend
meeting for him with the
Communist Party USA. The
meeting was held at Berkeley
University. Here, Brown saw
the Communists propounding
a strategy for further subversion
of America from within.
To break down the
family the Communists urged
promotion of co-habitation
(living together out of wedlock)
and the Feminist Movement;
To destroy our culture
and religion the Communists
encouraged promotion of
homosexuality;
To destroy business
Brown relates, the Communists
in 1992 said they wanted to
get behind the environmental
movement, as they saw it as the
only vehicle capable of creating
enough regulation and red tape
to discourage business growth.

Brown said that when he


was at this 1992 meeting, he
thought to himself: this plan is
so radical, Im probably not going
to have to worry about it in my
lifetime. But around 2006 or so,
he remembered the 1992 event,
and was stunned to realize that
every goal the Communists had
set at that meeting was fulfilled
in the United States.
In the same documentary,
former White House Staff
Economic Advisor Jim Simpson
noted, Patrick Moore, who
was a co-founder of Green
Peace, and he was a very
dedicated environmentalist, quit
Greenpeace when he realized
that it had been captured by
radical leftists who were intent
on using the environmental
movement as a vehicle to destroy
capitalism.
This is why many
environmentalists have been
called Watermelons: green on
the outside, red on the inside.
It is no surprise that Barack
Obama pushes, as much as he
is able, the environmentalist
agenda, as well as homosexuality
and feminism.
Even more disturbing,
however, is that certain members
of the present-day Vatican,
in their Modernist thrust to
allegedly dialogue with the

The Consecration of Portugal


and of Russia
To help keep our balance,
let us recall the miraculous
conversion of Portugal that
occurred after the Portuguese
bishops consecrated Portugal to
the Immaculate Heart in 1931
(and again in 1938). Portugal,
which had been living under
the anti-clerical persecution of
Masonic forces, was given as
a result of the bishops specific
consecration of that nation the
grace of a three-fold miracle:
1) A Magnificent Catholic
Renaissance, a great
rebirth of Catholic life;
2) The Miracle of Social
Reform according to
Traditional Catholic social

Antichrist, as clearly laid out


in the documented plans of
Freemasonry and Communism.
We have become so used to
this unprecedented level of
corruption, however, many
Catholics believe the 1984
Consecration fulfilled the
requirements of Our Lady,
and we are now, somehow,
living through the beginning
of the Triumph of Our Ladys
Immaculate Heart. This is
ludicrous, and demonstrates
that too many of us have
become tone-deaf to the music
of Catholic Truth.

world, give the appearance


of espousing the same evils
promoted by the enemies of
Christ.
Documents emanating
from Synod 2014, as well as
the prepatory documents for
the 2015 Synod, unbelievable
as it sounds, say we should
look for positive elements
of co-habitation.6 The 2014
Synod mid-term document
spoke of the positive aspects
of homosexuality.7 We see
Cardinals speaking of the alleged
positive aspects of stable
homosexual relationships. 8
These same men who propound
these scandalous proposals
maintain their influence of
power in the 2015 Synod now
underway.
And sad to say, the push for
environmentalism in the present
pontificate not only reflects the
plan called for by the enemies of
Christ and Christian civilization,
but also has nothing to do with
the competence and duties of
the papal office. What we have in
this case is religion at the service
of humanity, religion at the
service of ecology. It is a mancentered disorientation caused
by a reckless sentimentality, and
by the spirit of Modernism.

What has taken place in


Portugal proclaims the miracle,
said Cardinal Cerejeira, and
it foreshadows what the
Immaculate Heart of Mary has
prepared for the world. 10
Finally, once again, we recall
that the promise of Our Lady of
Fatima is the conversion of Russia
to the Catholic Faith, and not a
mere political conversion. This
conversion has yet to take place,
and hence the Consecration has
not yet been properly enacted.
I close by quoting on this point
Father Joaquin Alonso, probably
the top Fatima expert of the
20th Century. Father Alonso,
who had many interviews with
Sister Lucy, wrote in 1976: ...
we should affirm that Lucia
always understood that the
conversion of Russia is not to
be limited to the return of the
Russian People to the Orthodox
Christian religions, rejecting the
Marxist atheism of the Soviets,
but rather, it refers purely,
plainly and simply to the total,
integral conversion of Russia to
the one true Church of Christ,
the Catholic Church. 11

teaching based on the


social Kingship of Christ
and not insipid dialogue
with the world.
3) The Miracle of Peace:
Portugal was spared the
horrors of the Spanish
Civil War that was raging
right next door; and
Portugal was then spared
the ravages of World War
II.9
This threefold miracle gives
the blueprint for us to judge
whether or not the consecration
of Russia has been properly
accomplished. As noted, we
do not see the structure of
what happened in Portugal
anywhere on earth. Rather, we
see the present-day fulfillment
of the plan of the serpent, as
manifested in the writings of
Communism and Freemasonry.
Yet the threefold miracle,
similar to what took place
in Portugal, is what we will
see for the whole world. This
was affirmed by the eminent
Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal
Cerejeira, who in 1942 said that
what took place in Portugal in
the 1930s and 40s is a sample a
preview of what Our Lady has
prepared for the whole world
when Russia is consecrated to
the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Synod Fathers noted that homosexual


persons have gifts and talents to offer
the Christian community and that
pastoral outreach to them is an important
educative challenge. This is a far cry
from the correct teaching found even in
the New Catechism, which is nowhere
found in the Synod documents: Sacred
Scripture presents homosexual acts
as acts of grave depravity (cf. Gn. 19:129; Rm 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:9-10; 1 Tim
1:10). Tradition has always declared
that homosexual acts are intrinsically
disordered. They are contrary to natural
law. They close the sexual act to the gift
of life. They do not proceed from genuine
and sexual complementarity. Under no
circumstances can they be approved.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, No.
2357.)
Stable gay relationship is better than
a temporary one, says Cardinal
Schnborn, Catholic Herald, Sept. 11,

transformed into the fearless


champions of the faith. Not
only was darkness dispelled
from their minds, fear was
also dispelled from their
hearts. They found themselves
emboldened to risk persecution
and death in the establishment
of the Kingdom of Christ. The
Holy Spirit exhorts them to that
enterprise: so too He heartens
the individual Christian to
establish the reign of God in
his soul.
It is the specific work of
the Spirit of Jesus to form the
Christian to be a Christian.
Christ, when leaving His
Apostles, told them that they
would not be deprived of a
guide. Another would succeed
Him, to lead them heavenwards.

he wills to submit himself to the


guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The path through life of
the follower of Christ is a path
plentifully strewn with trials and
sorrows. Grief weighs down the
soul at times and paralyzes its
energies. It needs strengthening
if it is not to shrivel up in the fires
of tribulation. Human sympathy
is powerless to minister this
inner strength and comfort. It
can be imparted only by God.
The Divine Saviour sent
His Holy Spirit to sustain and
comfort the Christian in his
trials. The Paraclete means one
who comforts. The Holy Ghost
is the love of God personified.
That love of God has all the
gentleness and understanding
of maternal affection. It comes
natural, therefore, to the Third
Person of the Blessed Trinity to
cherish, to encourage and to give
consolation to those of Gods
children who are fainting by the
way, under a burden of grief.
We are wise when we turn to
the Holy Ghost in all the issues of
life, temporal as well as spiritual.
Our recourse to Him should not
be occasional and particular:
it should be continual and in
regard of all necessities.
Pray daily to the Holy Ghost,
an often forgotten but essential
devotion. |

Their orphan state would end


with the coming of that other.
History reveals how this promise
of Christ has been verified.
The Apostles were changed
men after Pentecost. All the
truth of Christ, henceforth,
came from them without error
or without hesitation.
But it was not only to them
that Christs promise was
made. It was given in a certain
proportion to all the faithful of
all times. The action of the Holy
Ghost is revealed in that quasiinstinctive knowledge of the
profound truths of supernatural
religion which is discernible in
those Christians who strive to
shape their lives after Christs
teaching. Their enlightenment
and their understanding of
transcendental truths are the
bewilderment and the envy of
those who are wise only with
the wisdom of this earth.
Mans life is rightly lived when
it bears him on undeviatingly to
the Beatific Vision. The virtue of
Prudence is needed to regulate
life in this sense. The Spirit
of Jesus infuses the virtue of
Prudence into the activities
of the whole Mystical Body of
Christ and into each member of
that Body.
The Christian will order the
affairs of his life, even in their
temporal aspect, aright when

told everyone that we need not


pray for the soul of the deceased
but that we should pray to her
because the priest was sure
she was in Heaven. When I
mentioned this to Father Gruner,
he became very animated and
told me that when he died, he
wanted me to try my best to
ensure that no one said such
things about him. He said, Make
sure they pray for me and offer
Masses.
I have been deeply moved
by the many prayers, Rosaries,
Masses and sacrifices that many
of you and others have offered
for Father. There have been
so many, I cannot keep track.
I suspect he is very pleased. I
also know he would want me
to thank you and ask you, in
your charity, to keep the prayers
coming.
Father Gruner touched the
lives of many but only since his
death have I started to become
aware of just how many people
he affected and just how deeply

the death of my uncle, Father

looking forward to having
this conference in Washington
while the Holy Father was here
and we are very pleased that
we are able to fulfill his wishes.
It is really hard to believe that
it has already been almost five
months since Father passed
away.
I know many of us believe
that Father must be in Heaven.

had worked so hard for, all he


had given his life for, if I didnt
get involved as much as my
duties as wife and mother would
allow. Father often reminded us
that, as bad as things may get,
we have Our Lady of Fatimas
assurance that Her Immaculate
Heart will triumph, we have the
Scriptures assurance that Our
Lady will crush the devils head,
so there is nothing to fear. And
I was strengthened by all of the
messages of the support that The
Fatima Center was receiving.
One person wrote that Fathers
death leaves us with a profound
determination and drive to keep
the work moving forward and
[proclaiming the message]
louder than ever before.
We meet here in Washington
at a time of a deep and profound
crisis in the world. The war in
Syria and the Ukraine, a refugee
and illegal immigration crisis, a
$19 trillion American national
debt, an aggressive Russia and
China, the scourge of ISIS, the
satanic harvesting of fetal body
parts by Planned Parenthood,
the highest court in the land
ruling in favour of homosexual
marriage, and an ever coarsening
and anti-Christian culture all
compete for headlines. More
than that, I know Im not alone
in the feeling that this is just
the beginning, that things will

he affected them.
At the wake for Father held in
Buffalo, I met a woman and her
son who had travelled by bus for
a total of 15 hours to and from
New York City just to be at the
wake for two hours. The Fatima
Center received hundreds of
letters, some from people who
had known Father for decades
and others from people who
had never met him but would
have dearly loved to do so.
The consistent theme that ran
through the many testimonies
I heard and read was that
Father changed peoples lives
by strengthening their Faith in
Our Lord and His Holy Catholic
Church and by impressing upon
them the need to heed the
message of Our Lady of Fatima.
At the same time as I heard
and read such testimonies, I was
trying to discern how much time
to devote to The Fatima Center.
I must confess a certain sense
of fear and despair crept into
my thoughts. After all, Father
was gone and no one can
replace him. Plus, if I got more
involved in Our Ladys work,
I was likely to attract more of
the devils attention, which I
certainly didnt want or need. I
was tempted not to get involved.
But then I thought, I would
be dishonoring all that Father

that will be celebrated here


and many insights and much
inspiration from the talks to be
given by our excellent speakers.
And when this conference ends
and we return to our homes,
communities and parishes, may
we keep up the fight, by praying
our daily Rosary, carrying out
our duties of state to the best
of our abilities, fulfilling the
Five First Saturdays devotion
first for ourselves and then for
others and by constant prayer
and sacrifices for our loved ones,
the Holy Father, the Church and
the world.
Father Gruner is no longer
here to lead us. But he taught
us the crucial truths we need
to save our soul and the souls
of others. In human terms, we
have no chance we are few
in number and the forces of
darkness arrayed against us are
overwhelming. But because we
have Our Lady and Her Blessed
Son on our side, our ultimate
victory is assured. May all of us
together continue Fathers work
until the Consecration of Russia
and the Triumph of Our Ladys
Immaculate Heart.

most certainly get worse, that


something wicked comes this
way.
Along with the crisis in the
world, there is a profound crisis
in the Church. Sister Lucy of
Fatima said that the final battle
between Our Lord and Satan will
be over marriage and the family.
It is ominous that next months
Synod at the Vatican threatens
Catholic teaching and practice
on marriage and the family.
On Thursday [September
24], the Holy Father will address
a joint session of Congress. In
his speech, the Pope may well
touch on some of the issues
that bedevil the people of the
United States and world. He
may even propose certain ideas
to address those issues. Father
Gruner wanted us to be here this
week because we know that only
one idea will work. We know
that only Mary can help us. We
know that the crisis in the world
and the Church is too far gone
for human solutions. We know
that the only thing that will turn
the tide against Satan and his
legions is the Consecration of
Russia to the Immaculate Heart
of Mary.
Over the next three days we
will proclaim that message here
in this hall. May we all derive
many graces from the Masses

but not yet.... or peace, but not


until
If we look at history, men
have always wanted peace, but
nations, or their leaders, have
been willing to sacrifice peace,
at least for a time, in order to
gain objectives they considered
important enough. Warring
nations would not sign peace
treaties before gaining certain
borders, certain hegemony,
certain trade concessions, or
other objectives. They never
wanted to get locked into a
situation that, with a little more
fighting, they might be able to
change.
Peace implies stability. No
one wants to stabilize a status
quo that is not in their favor.
This applies a priori to the
revolutionaries, who have
always claimed that, in order to
advance their goals, they depend
on instability, on constant
upheaval.
Another reason people might
hesitate to accept Our Ladys

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black

ur Lady chose Russia for


a very special task. Once
it is consecrated to Her
Immaculate Heart, She will use
Russia to bless all other nations,
bringing peace to the whole
world. Why She chose Russia
as Her instrument is a design
locked in the Heart of God.
Churchmen find reasons not
to consecrate Russia. But why
not just try it? Why is there so
much resistance to just trying
it? There would be such great
benefits! Our Lady promises
peace to the whole world! Peace!
Doesnt everyone long for peace?
My only conclusion is that
some people actually oppose
these great benefits. Everyone
may want peace, but not on
Our Ladys terms. Peace means
different things to different
people. The Communists used
to say that peace will come when
all the world is Communist. All
real enemies of the Church want
peace on their own terms, not on
Our Ladys. Others want peace,

of easier annulments or more
options in family planning. How
much of all this would still remain
in Our Ladys converted world?
Those who spend years
obstructing the Consecration
of Russia just dont believe in
Fatima, at least not in all of it.
Or do they? Are we really dealing
with a lack of Faith? What I see
is rather a gnawing suspicion
that maybe it is true, maybe
Holy Mary really does have the
power to actually bring about
what She promises. For enemies
of the Church, this possibility
is terrifying. The devil is not an
atheist. He and his minions also
believe, and tremble.

peace plan is the fear of returning


to a Catholic world. Spoiled by
the greater freedom offered by
liberalism, some might dread
the thought of regressing to a
world of obedience, sacrifice,
expiation, and self-control.
This does not apply only to
enemies of the Church. Each
one of us must ask himself: To
what degree have I accepted the
new way? For some of us, it might
be the relaxation of the rules of
fasting that we appreciate; for
others it might be the more
permissive dress code, or the
greater opportunities for women.
Some might see a certain value
in the Churchs greater opening
to the world, on a cultural or

The Need for Consecration


I think we have to face the
fact that those fighting furiously
against the Consecration of
Russia are hardened enemies.
They are not going to be won
over by more education. They
are not going to be convinced
by explanations, intellectual
arguments, or crystal-clear
proofs. They are working for
the other side. They need to be
converted or they need to be
outsmarted. Of course, we want
their conversion. But until they
convert, we must outsmart them.
We must seize opportunities to
work around them.
We know that Our Lord
rewards halfway measures,
like the consecrations of the
world performed by Popes Pius
XII and John Paul II. I would
like to suggest a different
halfway measure, based on
what happened in Portugal in
the 1930s. On May 13, 1931,

Cardinal Cerejeira, Archbishop


of Lisbon, together with all
his bishops, in the presence of
300,000 pilgrims, solemnly
consecrated Portugal to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.
What followed has been called
the Miracle of Portugal. Catholic
life flourished as never before.
Vocations absolutely exploded.
After decades of Masonic control,
the new civil government was
the most Catholic administration
in Europe. Even Pope Pius
XI marveled at Portugals
remarkable transformation and
credited it to Our Lady of Fatima.
The most astounding part
of the Portuguese miracle was
the Miracle of Peace. While
the Spanish Civil War raged
all along its borders, Portugal
remained untouched. Cardinal
Cerejeira and the bishops of
Portugal renewed their national
Consecration to the Immaculate
Heart of Mary on May 13, 1938,
in fulfillment of a solemn vow
they had taken two years earlier
to return and give thanks to the
Most Holy Virgin, Mother of
God, in the name of the whole
nation, if She obtained for
Portugal victory over atheistic
Communism and the benefit of
peace. Cardinal Cerejeira was
able to exultantly affirm: The
blessing of peace ... which we ...
confidently requested at Fatima

The Vatican today is


controlled by those who either
oppose the Consecration of
Russia or are directed by unseen
supporters or benefactors,
possibly even blackmailers,
whom they believe they cannot
cross. When we encounter an
iron wall at the Vatican, it may
really be a paralysis of fear. So
what can we do?

that I now seek and require.
Third, the daily Rosary.
Fourth, reparation: the
Communion of reparation

consecutive months.
When these requirements for
the personal consecration are
lived by each person, concluded
Sister Lucy, the Consecration by
the Holy Father will be realized.
Like the Fatima children, we
can do even more. Our Lord said
that some demons can only be
cast out by prayer and fasting.
We can fast from food and from
many other things as well. So
lets look for ways to do penance
while we multiply our Rosaries.
Humbly aware that no amount
of expiation can atone for the
enormity of insults Our Lord
has suffered at the hands of His
creatures, we know that at some
point He will take pity on us and
give the Holy Father the grace
he needs to consecrate Russia.
We have Our Lords promise
that someday it will be done, and
peace will come to the world. Let
us do all that we can to hasten
that day. |

in Spain had consecrated


themselves to the Immaculate
Heart of Mary. Having suffered
through the Spanish Civil War
and experienced first-hand the
cruelty of the Communists, it
is no wonder that the Spanish
people, at that time, grasped the
protective hand of Our Lady.
Even today, in this ever more
secular age, there must be at
least some bishops, governors,
or mayors willing to take this
step. When hard times come,
the rest of the world will see the
prosperity of those places and be
moved to follow their example.
To reach our greater goal,
the conversion of the enemies
of Fatima, lets recommit
ourselves to the personal side
of Our Ladys plan for peace. Are
we faithful to the daily Rosary,
reciting it devoutly? Do we make
a priority of fulfilling Our Ladys
First Saturday requests? Are we
consecrated to the Immaculate
Heart of Mary? Sister Lucy
listed four essential elements
in this personal consecration:
grace, penance, the Rosary, and
reparation.
First, grace: We must live in
the state of grace.
Second, we must do penance.

Another Piece in the Third Secret Puzzle

he declared that in the Secret:


are indicated future
realities of the Church which
are little by little developing
and revealing themselves ...
As for the novelty that we
can discover today in this
message, it is that attacks on
the Pope and the Church do
not come only from outside,
but the sufferings of the
Church come precisely from
within the Church, from sins
that exist in the Church. This
has always been known, but
today we see it in a really
terrifying way: that the
greatest persecution of the
Church does not come from
enemies outside, but arises
from sin in the Church.1
At this point in the mystery,
it becomes easier and easier to
complete the puzzle because so
many of the major pieces are now
in place. One of the first pieces,
as we know, involved Sister

Cyan, Magenta, Black

iecing together the


mystery of the Third
Secret of Fatima is like
the process of piecing together
a jigsaw puzzle. With only a
few pieces in place, the picture
is difficult if not impossible
to see. As more and more
pieces are fitted together within
the frame, however, it soon
becomes obvious what the
puzzle as a whole will reveal.
Where the Third Secret is
concerned, we have long since
passed the point where the
major pieces of the puzzle reveal
the big picture: that the Secret
foretells a divine chastisement
of both the Church and the
world, following an internal
attack on the Church by her
enemies within. That piece of
the puzzle which pertains to the
internal enemies of the Church
was revealed by Pope Benedict
XVI during his pilgrimage to
Fatima in May of 2010, when

Unparalleled Church Crisis


Certainly that element of
the Secret that predicts an
unparalleled crisis in the Church
I mean the text the Vatican has
withheld, wherein the Blessed
Virgin explains the meaning of
the obscure vision published in
2000 would have been clearer
in 1960. In that year revolution
was beginning in both the
Church, with the calling of the
Second Vatican Council, and the
world at large, which underwent
an accelerated descent into total
depravity. (Anyone who is old
enough to remember those days
will recall that the Sixties were
a time in which it seemed that
both the Church and society had
crossed over a threshold into a
state of affairs the once Christian
West had never seen before.)
Today, so many large pieces
of the puzzle have fallen into
place that even the smallest
pieces are now readily fitted into
the picture. For example, the

Synod on the Family, where we


see precisely that the greatest
persecution of the Church
does not come from enemies
outside, but arises from sin in the
Church. Thus it is no surprise
that in the Message of Akita,
which Pope Benedict (then
Cardinal Ratzinger) confirmed
is an extension of Fatima such
that these two messages, of
Fatima and Akita, are essentially
the same,2 we read what can
only be a foretelling of the very
thing we see at work in the
Synod:
The work of the devil
will infiltrate even into
the Church. One will see
Cardinals opposing other
Cardinals ... and bishops
confronting other bishops.
The priests who venerate
Me will be scorned and
condemned
by
their
confreres; churches and
altars will be sacked; the
Church will be full of those
who accept compromises and
the demon will tempt many
priests and religious to leave
the service of the Lord.3
And yet, one small but
seemingly important piece of
the puzzle has always seemed
odd and completely out of
place to me. It is Sister Lucias
revelation that in the vision of
the Bishop dressed in White

pg46_CR113_FERRARA CHRIS.p1.p1.pdf

Lucias revelation, recorded


on two different envelopes
pertaining to the Secret, that
the Blessed Virgin (contrary
to the lying representations of
Cardinal Bertone) had expressly
ordered that the Secret was to
be revealed in 1960 because,
as Lucia explained, it would be
clearer (mais claro) then.

prophesies as follows: We
will conquer your Rome, break
your crosses, and enslave your
women, by the permission of
Allah, the Exalted.
Next consider a recent article
in the Italian daily Il Giornale,
which may well provide one of
those precise historical clues
that clarify a prophecy as its
fulfillment nears (like the
ripening fig tree that heralds
the coming of Spring, to use Our
Lords parable of the advent of
the Last Days).
The article reports on an
e-book being distributed to
Muslim militants that provides
instructions to prepare for the
conquest of Rome by learning
to use various weapons,
including home-made bows and
arrows. The idea is to stockpile
weapons whose possession is not
currently illegal so that they can
be employed in urban guerrilla
warfare. As the instruction
manual states: The advent
of the war for the conquest of
Rome will consist primarily of
the urban guerilla in the cities
and streets of Europe.
Suddenly the reference to a
Pope of the future being slain by
bullets and arrows falls into place
in the grand puzzle that is being
completed before our eyes. Can
we be certain this is so? Without

are some things I need to discuss,


that the younger children should
not hear.
Why is that? Well, let me
start with one of the obvious
things about children that we
take for granted. That is, the
sheer innocent joy that children
represent in our lives from the
time we were very young, and
were children ourselves those
wonderful days when we were
fairly carefree. Children can be
very naughty; Im not letting
them off the hook, mind you.
As we all know theyre touched
indeed with Original Sin they
can be naughty but there is
the special joy and innocence
of childhood thats quite unique.
I think it is not accidental that
when Our Lady came to Fatima
to deliver the most important
message of the 20th Century,
and one that still extends to
our time, She spoke to three

would like to dedicate this


talk to our dear departed
great priest beloved of Our
Blessed Mother obviously for
all the work he did, and those
of us who are lucky enough to
have known him and heard him
and have him before us for the
rest of our days as a model, as
a model of what we should do.
Now, I do have to say one
thing. Im looking around and I
dont see children here. Im going
to be talking about children
today, but this is not a talk that
younger children should hear.
I dont see any, so I dont think
its a worry. Teenagers may
listen, and teenagers probably
should listen. So thats not
just for those in this room, but
it would also be if this gets
played elsewhere for those
people who are watching it or
listening to it. Please parents,

The Lamb
Little lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made
thee?
Gave thee life & bid thee feed.
By the stream & oer the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little lamb who made thee?
Dost thou know who made
thee?
Little lamb Ill tell thee
Little lamb Ill tell thee!
He is called by thy name
For He calls Himself a Lamb
He is meek and He is mild,
He became a little Child:
I a child and Thou a Lamb,
We are called by His Name.
Little lamb God bless thee.
Little lamb God bless thee.
Its a lovely poem. It explains
for us, in very simple terms, the
beauty and joy and innocence
of childhood, because Our
Lord, Himself, was Incarnate
as a baby, as a little child. That
Child, born in Bethlehem, was
the way in which God chose to

destroy the family in that way.


Its a shame because the children
can bring that innocent joy. Why,
what is it? Let me quote a poem.

of the Songs of Innocence, by
William Blake.

shepherd children. It follows


a pattern in the 19th Century,
when She came to La Salette
and spoke to children. There
are other apparitions some of
which are debated but in many
cases, very often, She is speaking
to children.
What is this? Why is this?
What is that special joy? Indeed,
one of the terrible aspects of the
destruction of the family is that
entire families no longer live
together. Weve been scattered all
over the landscape. Its very hard
to keep family in one area and
its even harder to keep families
in one home. Its very clear that
the intention from the beginning
of what a family is, is that you
should have the children, you
should have the parents, and you
should have grandparents, all
living together or at least very
close by, because thats a family.
Also the joy that the children
bring to the grandparents you
know the old saying: If I had
known being a grandparent was
so much fun, I would have had
the grandchildren first.
You see these poor older folks
who are shunted into old folks
homes; what happens to them
when a child comes into their
midst, the joy they become filled
with, the joy on their faces. It
is one of the small victories of
the devil that hes managed to

The child, of course, is John the


Baptist. When the two women,
the cousins, meet and embrace,
the two children in the womb
recognize each other. St. John
leapt for joy in his Mothers
womb, and the theologians tell
us at that moment, he is freed
from Original Sin. He becomes
innocent because he will make
way for the Lord. He is going to
be the one. He will be the one
who will baptize in the river
Jordan, showing what needs to
be done in the future. He has
that joy, that excitement. That
innocence is there while John
the Baptist is still in the womb.
The Nativity What we also
know (it is not part of the Joyful
Mysteries) takes place off-stage,
if you will King Herod is out
to kill that Child. The word had
come that someone who will
challenge his kingship has been
born a little Boy and he orders
that all of the male children be
killed. It turns into one of the
terrible sorrows of Our Lady.
The joy of giving birth, but
simultaneously, the knowledge
that Herod has killed those
children. Its a terrible burden.
The Presentation in the
Temple is Marys complete
submission to Gods law,
giving that Child in service to
God; giving God, Himself, in
service to God; doing what was

enter the world. Indeed, those


characteristics of the little
Lamb, became the Lamb of God
mentioned in the Mass from that
time forward. It tells us that
childhood and innocence are of
a very special time.
Well, the fact of the matter
is, Our Lady (God Bless Her) did
come. The official title that I gave
to this talk although its shifted
somewhat was, The Links in
Our Ladys Rosary: From Fatima
to Washington, D.C., Where We
Are Today. Now when I gave it
that title, I was thinking of one
thing in particular; but it has
changed, and Ill make clear
during this talk why those links
have changed. I can start with a
few of the Joyful Mysteries links
which are these:
The Annunciation The
Blessed Mother is told that
She has been chosen, and She
consents. It is Her consent that
makes possible the history of
mankind from that point on.
It all begins with the Blessed
Mothers consent to be a Mother.
She was a virgin; She consented
to be a Mother.
The Visitation is Marys
visit to St. Elizabeth. Now we
have two children. God, in
His infinite Mercy, has given
Elizabeth a child in her old age
and the child is in her womb.

much from His Mother, being


there with this perfect Mother
(speaking of His human nature).
Again, what an extraordinary
gift!
When at that moment
on the Cross He gave Her to
Saint John, He gave Her to all
of us. That perfect Mother is
our Mother now. It was a great,
great gift. On the way to the
Cross, He sees His Mother.
She knows what is happening.
She understands what the
necessity of it is, but the sorrow
is overwhelming. So, even the
most perfect of mothers can
feel terrible suffering for their
children, even when they know
certain things are inevitable and
must happen.
Then another extraordinary
thing happens when Our
Lord speaks to the women
of Jerusalem and says: Do
not weep for Me, but weep
for yourselves and for your
children. He knew what was
going to happen. Again, He is
instructing the mothers to weep
for themselves, selfishly? No!
for your children. |

commanded of Her; commanded


through Her from God Himself.
She was always obedient to
everything God wished Her to
do an extraordinary thing.
Then again, She was born
immaculately, without Original
Sin, so She could faithfully
unlike us do everything that
God required Her to do. And She
did.
The Finding of Our Lord
in the Temple the discovery
in the Temple when the Child
is a bit older teaching. Then
there is that mysterious gap of
time, when Jesus went down
to Nazareth and was subject
to them to His father and
His Mother. The Child, God
Himself, was subject to a male
father and a female Mother,
showing the importance of
the family; the necessity of the
family, where God, Himself, will
submit Himself to the order and
structure and authority that is
in the family an extraordinary
thing.
Then, of course, we have
those years, the private years.
During that time, where was
He? He was at home with His
father and His Mother. The bulk
of Our Lords time on this earth
was spent with His family. We
know He learned carpentry; He
learned a trade. He didnt go to a
university. He obviously learned

you to do whatever you can,
wherever you are, because
people come to the Church,
people come to the Faith through
Pro-Life. Its happened many,
many times. Women who have
had the worst lives and end up
having their child that they may
not have wanted its amazing
how you see their lives change.
Everything turns around, the
Hand of God comes upon them.
They suffer all this gloom and
doom that the abortion peddlers
give them. It stops.
At any rate, Im trained,
basically, to try cases and prove
facts based on evidence. Today,
were sort of drowning in an

ouve heard from many


scholars and speakers
but I would like you to
just think of me as nothing more
than a cheerleader, to kind of
jump start you and charge your
batteries and cheer you on
because we have an arsenal of
power to smash the diabolical.
And in the end, Our Lady, as
the Commander of this Army
shall restore the Church and the
family and the value of life.
These enemies who produced
the one-world system the
population controllers, the
Gates, Warren Buffett, Obama,
politicians who play games with
us they should be no more than
gnats annoying the lion. But it
will not come easy to have this
victory. Our inaction lets them
prosper.
I spent my life as an activist in
Pro-Life from the day I heard the
decision that abortion was legal
in the United States and, actually,
before that, because New York
State already had legal abortion.

the master divider. He divided


the angels, he divided Adam
and Eve. He divided Cain and
Abel and he divided the Church.
And you know from your own
experience the division between
traditionalists, neocans,
conservatives, modernists. This
is in 50 years! Were not fighting
the enemy; were fighting each
other.
Just try bringing up
traditionalism with Modernists
and they want to slap you upside
the head, call you names and
have you carted off to the
Looney bin just because youre
propounding what the Church
always was!
I envision the devil as a
slim, good looking guy, in an
expensive suit, with his feet
up on a nice, long desk, Park
Avenue penthouse; leaning back
in his executive chair, having a
smoke and laughing his head off
because squabbling Catholics are
doing his work for him, tearing
one another apart.
Whoever heard of Catholics
attacking Catholics before the
60s? It was unheard of, but
thats what has happened. Im
sure most of you could raise

stories of abuse. You get called

decades, our Church, our culture,
our schools, our government has
been totally upended. You all
know this; its upside down from
50 years ago. If we walked in
that 50 years to today, we would
probably have to be revived
because of the shocking changes
in our government. This is war

Those people who should be
screaming Murder! Tyranny!

interesting quote Ill give you,
by John F. Kennedy, seven days
before his assassination:
There is a plot in this
country to enslave every
man and woman and child.
Before I leave this high
and noble office I intend to
expose this plot.
As you can see, this is the
way we were at one time. We
had these kind of people; we

everything; then, all of a sudden,
just like that, just like a lightning

realize the number of people


that should be here today, living
in this country, that were the
victims of contraception that
was pushed through by Richard
Nixon. The people were told:
If you dont agree to this, then
shut your mouths and put these
paid for contraceptive deals into
action. Next time around, the
Supreme Court had its order and
they legalized abortion and here
we sit. The Holy Spirit is the Lord,
the Giver of life. This is the sin
against the Holy Spirit, spoken

of five-year-olds having temper
tantrums with each other.
Modern Catholics are
supposed to be fighting the real
enemy, together with us! And
what does the devil do? He
distracts them. Make sure you
look over here; look over there;
look at this fight about this.
But when the real enemy and
all these diabolical things are
happening they do nothing.
The game has changed.
For years, many changes
were passed by the clergy
and modernized nuns and
people that could not get their
bearings. Its like the jail plan
at the Buffalo Holding Center.
Ive interviewed prisoners there;
some of the Pro-Life protesters,
and I asked the Sheriff: What is
this? We have to go up the stairs,
down the stairs, back and forth.
Well, he said, thats designed
to confuse and disorient, so, if
theres a jailbreak, theres not a
clean run to the door. Its what
we do to confuse and disorient.
No chance of escape. So,
instead of fighting the enemy,
Catholics are confused and
disorientated and sniping at
each other and its not good.
Is God angry? You bet.
There are probably 500 million

Most Holy Trinity, Father,


Son and Holy Ghost, I offer
Thee the most precious
Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity of Jesus Christ,
present in all the tabernacles
of the world, in reparation
for the outrages, sacrileges
and indifference with which
He Himself is offended. And,
through the infinite merits
of His most Sacred Heart,
and the Immaculate Heart
of Mary, I beg of Thee the
conversion of poor sinners.
Then the Angel gave the
Sacred Host to Lucia. He shared
the Sacred Blood from the chalice
between Jacinta and Francisco,
saying: Take and drink the
Body and Blood of Jesus Christ,

horribly outraged by ungrateful


men! Make reparation for their
crimes and console your God.
The chief points made by the
Angel are:
First, the fundamental
Catholic teaching that Jesus is
physically present, in both His
human and divine natures, Body
and Blood, Soul and Divinity,
under the appearances of bread
and wine, after the consecration
at Mass and in the consecrated
Hosts reserved in every
tabernacle.
Second, lack of belief in this
doctrine produces indifference
towards Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament, and sacrileges are
being committed against Him
in Holy Communion and in the
tabernacle.
Third, God is so offended
that He had to send an Angel
to teach us to make reparation.
(Later on, He even sent His
Mother to further instruct us.)
We are clearly living
through the times that have

he Guardian Angel of
Portugal held a chalice
with a Host suspended
above it, from which some drops
of Blood fell into the chalice.
Leaving the chalice suspended
in the air, the Angel taught the

the Sacred Congregation for


Divine Worship stated in 1975
that liturgical dancing would
desacralize the liturgy and
introduce an atmosphere
of profanity. But rules dont
matter today, especially after the
example given by Pope John Paul
II. So Masses vary in creativity
according to the celebrant, the
occasion, or the community.
Further, with Jesus replaced
by man, out went exposition
of the Blessed Sacrament,
Benediction, Forty Hours
devotion, perpetual adoration,
Corpus Christi processions, and
so on.
Jesus became the object of a
colossal indifference, as predicted
at Fatima. Visits to the Blessed
Sacrament were no longer
promoted, thus ensuring the
loss of many graces and lights.
Closed churches discouraged
visits and gave a whole new
generation the impression
that the church is only a place
for communal worship or gettogethers. So dead is the belief
that its the House of God really
present, that pagan and false
rituals now take place in Catholic
churches. Surely, is turning the
house of God into a temple of
idolatry, in which the First
Commandment is broken, one
of the outrages mentioned by
the Angel of Fatima? Even if the
Mass with false rituals inserted

been prophesied. Communist


inf iltrators, helped by
modernists, have been spreading
the religion of man within
Catholicism. Lets consider just
a few outrages, sacrileges and
indifference this has produced
in most Churches.
Removing the tabernacle
from its central place of honor
inevitably led to the loss of the
sense of the sacred. Our eyes,
minds and hearts could no
longer focus on our King, and
He automatically suffered a loss
of prestige.
Is it coincidence that
along with the removal of
the tabernacle, children
were no longer taught how
to behave in church, decent
dress disappeared, and so
did genuflection, silence,
recollection, awe? The focal point
of worship inevitably became
the community, and those
community members flitting
around, exercising leadership
within the sanctuary. Outrages
multiplied as the Church became
a noisy meeting place, and
eventually, a theatre featuring
blasphemous liturgies and
loud profane music, drama and
dance as part of the liturgical
entertainment. Bulletins
listing the roles of the various
performers, and applause for
them, complete the impression
of entertainment. By the way,

All ages joined in


the procession.

Pius XII also condemned


the sophistical contention
that the Mass besides being a
Sacrifice is also the banquet of a
community of brethren, which
can only be licit if the faithful
receive Communion, regarded
as the culminating point of the
whole celebration. This error
has produced the belief that
Communion is a right, hence

Supper, rather than the actual


Sacrifice being re-enacted upon
the altar. These are Protestant
heresies condemned by the
Council of Trent:
If anyone says that in the
Mass a true sacrifice is not
offered to God, or that the act
of offering is nothing else than
Christ being given to us to eat;
if anyone says that the sacrifice
is a mere commemoration
of the sacrifice consummated
on the Cross, but not one of
propitiation [or petition]
let him be anathema.

into it is carried out in a field


or stadium, it is still a grave sin
against the First Commandment
and a monumental outrage
against God ...
The emphasis on the Mass
as a meal is seen as crucial to
effecting a feeling of oneness
and community in the parish. A
booklet bearing the Imprimatur
of the former Primate of Ireland,
Abp. Dermot Ryan, teaches:
When we go to Mass we have
to focus on the people. The
Eucharist is a true meal with
one another. The family meal
at home is one of the best forms
of preparing for the Eucharist.
Lay greeters at the door, the
sign of peace, and greeting each
other during Mass, complete
the atmosphere of a friendly
community meal. The whole
focus of the Mass has changed
to its being a commemoration
of Christs Sacrifice on the Cross
and a memorial of the Last

Communion in the Hand


Communion in the hand
contradicts the Church teaching
enunciated by St. Thomas
Aquinas, viz., Out of reverence
towards this Sacrament,
nothing touches it but what is
consecrated. Only the hands
of a priest are consecrated.
Communion in the hand was
condemned in the 7th Century
to halt widespread abuses, and
as a safeguard against sacrilege.
However, Protestants adopted
this practice to manifest their
belief that there is no such thing
as Transubstantiation and Holy
Orders, and the bread is just
ordinary bread and the minister
an ordinary man with no Godgiven power to consecrate.
Communion in the hand has
given rise to various sacrileges
and heresies. First, its the
justification for lay eucharistic
ministers, including nuns. If a lay
person could receive Communion
in his unconsecrated hands, then
he could distribute It to others.
This immediately decreased
reverence towards the Blessed
Sacrament and other sacrileges
followed: Consecrated Hosts left
on pews, sometimes in pieces;
carried in pockets; passed

minutes. But first lets consider


another major source of outrages
against the Holy Eucharist
Communion in the hand.

pg60_CR113_FERREIRA.p1.p1.pdf

the lobbying for divorced and


remarried Catholics to receive
Communion to show their
unity with the community.
With the focus being the
community and banquet,
today, full participation means
accepting the call to a
leadership role at the feast.
This means being a liturgical
minister a reader, cantor,
music minister, liturgy designer,
eucharistic minister, cup
minister and, I guess, dance
ministers now. There are also
the lesser ministries of ushers,
greeters, etc.
I got this bulletin last Sunday
from a nearby church. On the
front cover it has a section titled
Ministries. It lists 30 varieties,
but there are many more.
Anything a lay person does
for the parish is a ministry.
Many good people have been
led to believe they must have
a ministry in order to serve
the Church. They truly believe
they are helping remedy a priest
shortage or taking some of the
load off the priest.
Unfortunately, no matter how
altruistic their motive, they are
helping the modernist feminist
agenda of using a plethora of
lay ministries to destroy the
ordained priesthood, and the
very identity of the Church
herself. Ill get to that in a few

Jewish feminist Naomi


Goldenberg confirms this
strategy that makes use of
devout women who are
unaware of the feminist agenda.
She says these reformists and
their clerical supporters think
using inclusive language and
promoting womens ordination
are means of improving the
practice of their religion by
encouraging women to share the
responsibilities of worship equally
with men, i.e., with priests.
That phrase, share the
responsibilities of worship,
clothes the revolution against
the priesthood in fuzzy, positive
terms. Goldenberg openly
admits that these so-called
reforms challenge the basic
nature of Christianity; they
are not minor alterations,
but major departures from
tradition that will shake
[Christianity] at its roots. Thus,
according to feminist leaders, lay
ministries are designed to destroy

Cyan, Magenta, Black

The Feminist Agenda


The American religious
feminist leader Rosemary
Ruether explained:
A growing practice of
ministry shared by men [i.e.,
priests] and women will develop
on local congregational levels.
A certain educational process
will go on between women and
ordained males on the injustices
of the restrictions placed on

their female colleagues. Laity


will become used to seeing
women minister in a number
of adjunct roles and wonder
why not Sacraments. Perhaps
there will be discussions....
Eventually more bishops will
be consecrated who wonder at
the absurdity of the exclusion
(with a growing example of
women in full sacramental
ministry in other churches).

pg61_CR113_FERREIRA.p1.p1.pdf

around the classroom; dropped


on streets; sold on e-Bay; and
easily procured for the ultimate
profanation in Black Masses.
The second result of
Communion in the hand is that
once lay eucharistic ministers
became the norm, the floodgates
were opened to a torrent of other
liturgical ministries that have
contributed to the downgrading
of the priesthood and to other
heresies. These ministries
are the back door to womens
ordination. The all-male
priesthood is an affront to the
feminist concept of equality,
a concept derived from
Communism and Masonry, and
an error of Russia, about which
Our Lady of Fatima warned. The
feminist strategy is to involve
females in other liturgical roles
to prepare a climate of acceptance
for priestesses, as congregations
get used to seeing women around
the altar.

processing of the priest from


the back of the Church to the
sanctuary before Mass as if he
were in some way coming from
the people; and his processing
to the back after Mass as if he
were returning to the people.
Formerly, his place was only
in the sanctuary, which he
entered and exited from the
sacristy, to signify he had been
chosen by God and set apart
from the people as the Lords
anointed; and the Communion
rail delineated that separation.
This coup dtat is painted
as altruism and a blessing:
this shared leadership among
ordained and non-ordained
members of the Church is
considered a grace in a
time of crisis (i.e., a time
with a priest shortage). The
eucharistic community believes
the transfer of responsibility to
all the Baptized has blessed the
Church. Pastors who dont share
responsibility are dictators or
autocrats.

laity, that reporting on a

the foundations of our religion;


and they are a transitional step
to priestesses.
Limiting the priests function
merely to consecrating makes
him an ecclestiastical
technician says Fr. McLucas.
He s cor rect. Par ishes
increasingly believe they possess
whats called communal
ownership of the liturgy.
Owning the liturgy and taking
over the priests duties has led
to the condemned heretical
belief that the priest does not
get his authority directly from
God, through the Apostles, but
from the community. This belief
is tied to the assertion, We are
eucharist people or, We are a
eucharistic community. Its just
another term for a Protestantized
Catholic parish.
A eucharistic community
is defined as one in which No
individual member holds status
or authority that ... is not derived
from the community itself....
Every minister is empowered
by the community s/he serves.
In other words, the priest is
a minister equivalent to lay
ministers, and you are only a
priest if somebody wants you
and if the eucharistic community
commissions you.
The commissioning of
the priest by the community
is symbolized by the routine
