| | The Consecration of Russia: Related News, Articles and Books |
 | | Though the Pope and 1500 bishops prayed the Pope's "Act of Entrustment" of the future to Mary, absent were the words "consecration," "Russia," "Immaculate Heart," "conversion," "Fatima," and "eternal salvation," thus dashing the hopes of thousands around the world that the Pope and his bishops would finally consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. | | | This article brilliantly demonstrates that a consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is of a theological necessity or at least a theological convenience, even if Heaven had never mentioned it. | | | Read this refutation of a report, by a bishop in eastern Canada, which falsely claims that the Consecration of Russia has been accomplished. |

| | The meaning of the "consecration" of Russia |
| | It asks for the consecration of the world with special mention of Russia, and attached to it is a distinct promise, already now completed, of the shortening of the war of 1939-45. | | | In it, for the first time, what is asked for, is not the Consecration of Russia; nor even a special mention of it; but simply the consecration of the world; and even this without mentioning the union of the Pope with all the bishops. | | | Sister Lucy has insisted many times that the Consecration of Russia still has not been done, and besides, that it must be carried out in a certain way, and that in the end, when it is done, it will be late. |

| | The "instruction" states that Sister Lucy and her fellow religious must now say that the Consecration of Russia was accomplished in the ceremony of March 25, 1984, even though Russia was never mentioned and the worlds bishops did not participate. | | | To suggest that a nation which does these things has started to be converted through the completed consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a claim as blasphemous as it is absurd. | | | Falsehoods continue to circulate behind Father Gruners back, greatly hindering his efforts to persuade bishops that the Consecration of Russia must be done in the proper manner in order to avoid the annihilation of nations, of which Our Lady of Fatima warns. |

| | Pope John Paul II and the Collegial Consecration of 1984 |
| | He certainly felt that Mary's intercession had saved his life, and his reading apparently convinced him that the consecration of Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart was an absolute necessity if the world was to be saved from war and atheism. | | | Thus this consecration had not fulfilled the conditions of collegiality asked for by Mary at Fatima, that is that the Pope in union with the bishops of the world should consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. | | | Paul VI would also have weighed the effect of the full collegial consecration of Russia, and its apparent condemnation of the atheistic communist regime, on the lives of ordinary Christians who would undoubtedly have faced further persecution. |

| | From Russia with Love 2 |
| | I was particularly gripped by the image of the consecration of Russia to the heart of the Goddess. | | | It also predicted the inevitable triumph of Her Immaculate Heart following Russia's consecration and the conversion "of that poor nation" to the Catholic Faith. | | | This development out of the Sophianic school of Russia is perhaps the most unifying expression I have yet found of the threads of my inner life that wove together so mysteriously over the years: Russia, the Pope, Love, materialism, and the end of the world. |

| | “Beginning” of Russia’s Conversion |
| | Sister Lucia said, after she announced that the Collegial Consecration of the World and Russia of March 25, 1984 was accepted by God and the Lord would keep His word, that it was important that we continue the acts of reparation on First Saturdays so that the conversion of Russia will be more perfect. | | | While this Cathedral in Moscow with its beautiful icons represent at least in official language Russia returning to Christianity, the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in St. Petersburg which was financed by the Fatima Family Apostolate represents the beginning of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Russia. | | | On January 7, 1995 near the end of the XX century Moscow surprised the world, after decades of Russia’s government being officially atheistic Communism, when the first corner-stone of the Cathedral of the Savior was laid in its foundation. |

| | OUR LADY OF FATIMA |
| | Russia's conversion to Catholicism which, according to Our Lady of Fatima, would coincide with the consecration of Russia, has been, well, subtle. | | | The reason is that Russia has not been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary according to the requirements of the Fatima Message. | | | Just as Mary did not avoid the Cross, so no one who follows Her can avoid the Cross, be it three Portuguese shepherd children or the remnant of Russian Catholics. |

| | Immediately afterwards, the Pope departs from his prepared text and prays “Enlighten especially the peoples of which You Yourself are awaiting our consecration and confiding.” The Pope thus publicly acknowledges that Our Lady of Fatima is still awaiting the Consecration of Russia (see photo of L'Osservatore Romano at top of next page). | | | Opponents of the Consecration of Russia have, conveniently, from 1984 until this day, omitted to report that the Pope actually said, in effect, that he had not done the Consecration of Russia as requested by Our Lady of Fatima. | | | Reproduction of the March 26, 1984 issue of L'Osservatore Romano, with translation, enlarged, of Pope John Paul II's words. |

| | The Collegial Act of Consecration of Russia is the act which God is now demanding in reparation. | | | Russia rightly should be under the Queenship of Mary as She is Queen of Heaven and earth. | | | From outside of Russia, satan with the co-operation and deliberate planning of his human agents has imposed an atheistic regime on the peoples of Russia and such a regime has no respect for the life, corporal or spiritual, of the people that it enslaves and uses for its own ends. |

| | You have had the happy and noble idea to show and establish the connection that exists between the consecration of Russia, made by the Holy Father on 25th March 1984, and the collapse of Communism in the East. | | | Fatima, Russia and Pope John Paul II is an indispensable record of the role of Our Lady and the Holy Father in relation to the unprecedented events in Central and Eastern Europe. | | | Others insist that since Russia was not explicitly mentioned on either occasion, the consecration was invalid. |

| | Once again, Bertone is caught by his own guilty conscience, since he knows that unless Russia is consecrated, then the 1984 attempt is just another in a long-line of papal failures to do what they’ve been told to do regarding the consecration. | | | Well, Bertone knows that John Paul II consecrated only the world in 1984, but in order for that consecration to be a valid fulfillment of Our Lady’s 1929 request, he also knows that it had to include the nation of Russia! | | | Lucia that the only way the 1929 request could be fulfilled is if the pope consecrated Russia, by name, and all the bishops of the world took part in the consecration. |

| | The astounding campaign to silence Father Gruner is part of an overall campaign to neutralize the Message of Fatima, so that the Vatican bureaucracy can pursue its policies of Ostpolitik and "dialogue" with the powers of the world, without hindrance by public movements for the consecration and conversion of Russia. | | | As the apostolate’s size and influence grew, it came to be targeted for suppression by members of the Vatican Secretariat of State, who regard the specific consecration of Russia as a diplomatic embarrassment that would run counter to the Secretariat of State’s policy of Ostpolitik. | | | Can the present state of the Church and the world, especially Russia, honestly be assessed as the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart which She promised as the fruit of the Consecration She requested? |

| | Cardinal Carberry was the same well-known Marian Bishop and Cardinal who at the November 1981 meeting of the Bishops of the United States proposed petitioning the Pope for the Collegial Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary if the Pope deemed it proper. | | | What the news media did not address was the most signicant act of all which took place at Fatima on May 13, 1982, the attempted Collegial Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. | | | From many Bishops and also from a number of Episcopal Conferences, the Holy Father has received letters recalling the Message of Fatima and asking him to renew, by a collegial act, the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary made by Pope Pius XII on 31 October 1942 and 7 July 1952 (cf. |

| | She came again to Lucy at Tuy in 1929, where she asked specifically for the consecration of Russia by the Holy Father together with all the Bishops of the world to her Immaculate Heart. | | | That is to say, the icon would be returned to Russia based on the false notion that Russia had converted and the promises of Fatima were fulfilled. | | | Thus, the return of the Kazanskaya to the Schismatic patriarch Alexis II would signify that Russia does not need conversion and that the Russian Schismatic Church is not in error. |

| | Therefore, this Treaty must be rescinded, as Jesus said, “for only in that way shall you have a true peace.” The rescinding of this Treaty is also necessary to pave the way for the consecration of Russia by the Pope and all the bishops of the world. | | | The existence of this Vatican-Moscow Treaty helps to explain certain ecclesiastical oddities, such as Cardinal Sodano’s May 13th Fatima address, in which the word “Russia” is mysteriously missing but replaced with the vague, politically correct phrase “communist regime.” Of course, Our Lady at Fatima used the word “Russia”, not communist regime. | | | This treaty has silenced the Church and allowed the errors of communism, the errors of Russia, especially Perestroika, to invade both the Church and society UNCHALLENGED. |

| | We can be certain that because of the “consecration,” China’s and Russia’s ever-more-intimate embrace will mean the “conversion” of both nations. | | | According to WorldNet, Voice of Russia has also announced “The initial draft of a new, far-reaching pact between Moscow and Beijing” which was agreed to on April 29, 2001. | | | Voice of Russia also advises that China and Russia “have identical or similar positions on all key international problems.” Now that I’ll buy. |
