Contrary to the official party line, Vatican II was no “love-fest”
Could the great apostasy brought on by diabolically disoriented popes be what is spoken of in the portion of the Third Secret of Fatima that has yet to be revealed?
Let’s consider the testimony of Cardinal Ciappi, who read the Third Secret. Cardinal Ciappi was a distinguished theologian from the pontifical household from 1955 to 1989. In a letter to Professor Baumgartner, the Cardinal made an astonishing admission about the Third Secret.
He wrote: “In the Third Secret it is predicted, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top.” (6) Notice, he didn’t say it would begin “near the top”, but “at the top” – the same pattern we have seen repeated throughout history.
In a 1984 interview, Cardinal Ratzinger also spoke of the contents of the Third Secret of Fatima.
The interviewer asked: “Have you read what is called the Third Secret of Fatima?” To his surprise, the Cardinal answered “yes”, and then went on to discuss what it contained. The Cardinal said “the things contained within the ‘Third Secret’ correspond to what has been announced in Scripture and has been said again and again in many other Marian Apparitions”. (As an aside, we must ask where Scripture speaks of the failed assassination attempt of John Paul II?)
Continuing on, the Cardinal said the Third Secret speaks of “dangers threatening the Faith… and the importance of the ‘novissimi ’[the end times].”
Once again we see a prelate, who had read the Third Secret, state that it refers to dangers threatening the Faith.
But perhaps the most interesting statement comes from Paul VI himself on the sixtieth anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun, during which he spoke of apostasy at the very “summit” of the Church, which confirms what Cardinal Ciappi wrote to Professor Baumgartner. Here is what Paul VI had to say on October 13, 1977:
The tail of the devil is functioning in the disintegration of the Catholic world. The darkness of Satan has entered and spread throughout the Catholic Church even to its summit. Apostasy, the loss of the faith, is spreading throughout the world and into the highest levels within the Church. (7)
Is it just a coincidence that Paul VI made this statement on the anniversary of Fatima? It seems unlikely. It seems more likely that he was revealing what is contained in the Third Secret.
But if this is what the Third Secret contains, when would it begin? Is there a particular date that one could look to as the beginning of this great apostasy that would begin “at the top” – at the very “summit” of the Church?
In the famous 1957 interview of Sister Lucy of Fatima with Fr. Fuentes, about the events of Fatima, the cloistered nun asked her interviewer the following question: “Father, how much time is there before 1960 arrives?” Why would she ask about the date 1960? She then went on to explain. She said when this date arrives, “it will be very sad for everyone, not one person will rejoice at all if beforehand the world does not pray and do penance.” She then ended by saying: “I am not able to give any other details because it is still a secret.”
