(Our Lady of Fatima & what ensued due to the Blessed Mother's "requests" never being fulfilled!)
Our Lady of Fatima as she was referred to by the three young children, appeared to at the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal in 1917, Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto - emphatically "foretold" that if mankind did not stop offending God, and if her "messages" to the seers were not heeded, a "more terrible war" than WWI (1914-1918) that was underway then - was yet to come, if her "specific request" for "the Communion of Reparation on Five First Saturdays, and the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart" was not fulfilled!
Our Lady also spoke of "great lights" in the sky that would serve as a "final warning" before the "more terrible" war (WWII - 1939 to 1945). Well, those "great lights" did indeed appear all over Europe, just before Hitler invaded Poland, in the form of a stunning display of the Aurora Borealis, just as Our Lady prophesized. Needless to say, Our Lady of Fatima's "specific request" was not fulfilled and so began WWII. Shame on the Vatican then & now!
Unbelievably, it took the Church 13 years from 1917 to October 13, 1930 - "just" to declare the "supernatural events" witnessed by approximately 70,000 to 100,000 people in the pouring rain the Miracle of the Sun that lasted about 10 minutes, and dried up the mud those people were standing in as they literally watched the Sun appear to "dance or zig-zag" in the sky, and then advance towards the Earth, while emitting multicolored light and radiant colors. Newspapers published testimony from dozens of witnesses, many of whom were atheists at that time, who said that they had seen "extraordinary solar activity!" Come on! How is it remotely possible that it took canonical investigators over a decade to finally pronounce the "extraordinary miracle" of Our Lady of Fatima, witnessed by former atheists, secular reporters and once skeptical scientists who were present to see the "extraordinary solar phenomenon" simply "worthy of belief?" Furthermore, the local bishop of Fatima, Bishop Jose da Silva, who initiated a canonical investigation of the "miraculous" event was aware of the fact that the tens of thousands of people congregated at the Cova da Iria in the "extremely inclement weather" - were only there in response to a "prophecy" made by the young seers: "That on October 13, 1917 Our Lady of Fatima would appear and perform miracles!"
"Worthy of belief" in 1930 was "the only response" the Church made to Our Lady of Fatima. No mention of attending to Our Lady of Fatima's "most urgent request:"
"the Communion of Reparation on Five First Saturdays, and the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart!"
In addition to Our Lady of Fatima's "prophecy" about WWII, she also "foretold" that Russia would spread her errors, the Church would have to suffer much, and she warned of a pope who would be struck down if her "request" of both the Communion of Reparation on Five First Saturdays, and the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart were not fulfilled!
Obviously, they were not fulfilled as tragically, WWII did occur, as did a myriad of other wars since that time, that would "never" have happened, such as the war in Vietnam when I was a young man, if only "one pope" would have obeyed Our Lady of Fatima. Evidently, they thought "they had better things to do" than listen to the Queen of Heaven! Regrettably, that is not atypical behavior by most popes as they "all too often" are swayed by global geopolitics and the highly political environment at the Vatican. How "supernaturally tragic" is that posture by a pope!
No wonder Our Lady of Fatima's "urgent request" is yet to be fulfilled, and the Church finds herself in the greatest "CRISIS" in its 2,000-year history with so many clerical sex scandals being "covered up," Pope Leo hosting LGBT pilgrimages at the Vatican, "homage" being given to leaders of Pagan Faiths, and the world now on the cusp of WWIII. Oremus!
The sheer "negligence" of the Magisterium since 1917 and before is "ALARMING!" The countless "lives & souls" that could have been "SAVED" is "UNSPEAKABLE!" All because popes "refused to obey" Our Lady of Fatima! How did they live with that reality?
Sadly, that scenario portends to continue ad infinitum with the Church being governed by bishops, including the Bishop of Rome, who have absolutely "no interest whatsoever" in acting as "Shepherds of their Flocks" as they prefer to act like CEOs, and remain "SILENT" about all the grave "ERRORS" being committed by the Vatican. How convenient is that as they are paid well to live in their million-dollar mansions here in the United States I know! Don't know about other countries. But in the U.S., it is truly "SINFUL" what luxurious lives our "SILENT" bishop's lead, with most Americans struggling to "make ends meet" from "one paycheck to the next!" Our Lady of Good Success during the 16th and 17th centuries in Quito, Ecuador "foretold" what we see unfolding in the Church today! Please study the Church approved "apparitions & messages" of Our Lady of Good Success, if you are not familiar with them, as they are prophecies about various heresies that would be propagated at the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century, especially in the mid 20th century, the time of Vatican II.
In one message Our Lady said:
Wouldn't you say that perfectly describes the "CRISIS" in the Church today!

Nota bene: Yet to write about is: "Why the Vatican never released the entirety of the 3rd Secret of Fatima?"
I know the answer that question, as others do as well, since it ties in precisely with how we know the Vatican historically operates, in its clandestine fashion and being more concerned about the geopolitical & Church repercussions of what they do - rather than "boldly preaching" the Gospel and being dedicated to "Saving Souls!"
Countless "souls" would have been saved, in my opinion, had Pope John XXIII obeyed Our Lady of Fatima and made public the "entire" 3rd Secret of Fatima in 1960 as he was told to do! Pope John, God rest his soul, and every post-conciliar pope who followed him was guilty of doing the same "disobeying the Mother of God!"
Thus far, Pope Leo has "followed suit" in "neglecting" Our Lady of Fatima's "orders" regarding Russia and the 3rd Secret! I do believe such "reprehensible behavior" will soon usher in the foretold "WARNING" a.k.a. "Illumination of Conscience", the 3 Days of Darkness and the Great Chastisement, that I have learned from Church approved mystics, will "eclipse" the Global Chastisement of Noah's time!
