I agree. By their fruits ye shall know them. His primary role above all others as pontiff has been to guard the deposit of faith. Something which bergoglio has steadfastly refused to do. Indeed he has (tellingly) attempted to implement the exact reversal of guarding the deposit of faith.

@@stephencockett9959 Why do so many people not admit that if Bergoglio could be a valid pope, then the office of the papacy would be meaningless. But of course it is not. So logically he cannot be a valid pope.

Which suggests their application on what was once Christendom - as a means of chastisement.

Thank you for your comment. There is no authentic form or expression of Christianity other than Catholicism. Sister Lucia's constant testimony in this regard was that Our Lady's promise refers to Russia's conversion to the Catholic Faith. Recall too, that in 1917 when Our Lady promised to convert Russia by means of its Consecration to Her Immaculate Heart, the state religion of Russia was the same schismatic and heretical Orthodoxy now being tolerated again. God bless you.

Thank you Father. I was amazed to see on another platform that the Russian President was secretly baptised as a baby during the soviet era. It was admittedly in an Orthodox Church - but one dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel - which he still frequents. All Russian soldiers currently preparing for battle routinely kneel together for prayer to St. Michael the Archangel and to Our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is amazing to watch. They clearly see the western powers now as perverse and satanically inspired. Are they not right? They clearly had enough of communism over seventy years of misery and horror - but now we see the usual bolshevik subversion in the highest offices of Church and state in the west. God Bless you and keep you Father.

​@@TheFatimaCenter Thank you Father - they deleted my last reply to you but God bless you and keep you.

God bless you!

No actually it was not valid because he mentioned Ukraine. our Lady's request specifically said Russia which means Russia only

Thank you for this important question. On July 13, 1917, in the context of Her revelation of the Secret of Fatima, Our Lady announced that She would return in order to ask for the First Saturday Communion of Reparation and the Consecration of Russia: "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the reign of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If My requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated." Our Lady returned eight years later, and then again after another four years, to make Her formal requests through Sister Lucia for these two particular devotions of Reparation to Her Immaculate Heart. On December 10, 1925, She appeared to Sister Lucia in her convent cell in Pontevedra, Spain, and asked for the promulgation of the Five First Saturdays devotion. Then on June 13, 1929, Our Lady appeared to Sister Lucia in her convent chapel in Tuy, Spain with the formal request and message that the time, even the moment, had at last come at which God Himself asks for the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary: “I had requested and obtained permission from my superiors and confessor to make the Holy Hour from 11:00 p.m. until midnight from Thursday to Friday. Being alone one night, I knelt down before the Communion rail, in the middle of the chapel, to recite the prayers of the Angel, lying prostrate. Feeling tired, I got up and knelt, and continued to recite them with my arms in the form of a cross. The only light came from the sanctuary lamp. "Suddenly a supernatural light illumined the whole chapel and on the altar appeared a cross of light which reached the ceiling. In a brighter part, on the upper part of the Cross, could be seen the face of a man and His body to the waist; on His chest was an equally luminous dove; and nailed to the Cross, the body of another man. A little below the waist (of the latter), suspended in mid-air, could be seen a Chalice and a large Host, onto which fell some drops of Blood from the face of the Crucified One and from the wound in His breast. These drops ran down over the Host and fell into the Chalice. "Under the right arm of the Cross was Our Lady with Her Immaculate Heart in Her hand…(It was Our Lady of Fatima with Her Immaculate Heart…in Her left hand…without a sword or roses, but with a crown of thorns and flames…) Under the left arm [of the Cross], some large letters, as it were of crystal clear water flowing down over the Altar, formed these words: ‘Grace and Mercy.’ I understood that it was the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity that was shown to me, and I received lights about this mystery which I am not permitted to reveal. "Then Our Lady said to me: ‘The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. So numerous are the souls which the justice of God condemns for its sins committed against Me, that I come to ask for reparation. Sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray.’” This request is clarified yet more by an entry in Sister Lucia’s hand-written journal, dated Nov. 6, 1929: “Our Lady said, ‘The moment has come in which God asks of the Holy Father to make, and to order that in union with him and at the same time, all the bishops of the world make the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart,’ promising to convert it because of this day of prayer and world-wide reparation.” God bless you.

Exorcist Andrea Gemma on Medjugorje: "Absolutely Diabolical" Bishop and Exorcist Andrea Gemma on Medjugorje: "Absolutely Diabolical" Vatican City You speak of "underworld interests". Of what kind? "I'm referring to 'the Devil's dung', to money, what else? At Medjugorje everything happens for the sake of money: pilgrimages, overnight stays, the sales of trinkets. In this way, abusing the good faith of the poor people who go there with the idea of meeting the Madonna, the false seers have set themselves up financially, they have married and live a wealthy life, to say the least. "Just think: one of them, directly from America, with a direct economic profit, organizes tens of pilgrimages every year. These people don't seem to be really disinterested persons to me. Rather, with all the people vulnerable to this noisy swindle, they evidently have a great material interest in getting people to believe that they see and speak with the Virgin Mary."

I agree. They claim to talk to Mary like every day

Thank you for this important question. There would be no need for Our Lady to repeat Herself on this subject, for nothing has changed since the time of Her previous revelation to this effect (which has been egregiously ignored). John Paul II's act of 1984 was a mere renewal of Pius XII's 1942 consecration of the world (not of Russia specifically as requested by Our Lady of Fatima), and regarding that original act of 1942, Our Lady said to Sister Lucy in 1952, "Make it known to the Holy Father that I still await the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart. Without that consecration, Russia will not be able to convert, nor can the world have peace." Likewise with all subsequent acts purporting to be a response to the Fatima request, including the most recent act of March 25, 2022; none of these have dared to set apart Russia by itself as the explicit and exclusive object of consecration. It is no wonder that we have seen nothing of the promised effects of the consecration requested by Our Lady of Fatima, because no such act has ever been performed. Let us sacrifice ourselves and pray for this intention! God bless you.
