When Our Lady first appeared at Fatima on that sunny Sunday, May 13th, 1917, she, the Queen of Prophets, knew exactly what type of world she was stepping into. "The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ." [Psalm Two, Verse Two] The Great Plan to destroy the Church was already well under way, and everything had been proceeding exceedingly well.
We do not know how events might have transpired had Little St Jacinta kept her promise to St Sr Lucia to keep the apparition a secret. All we know is that Heaven and Earth were moved the moment Little St Jacinta blurted out to her mother, returning from a shopping errand: "We saw Our Lady".
Practically at the speed of sound, news spread quickly, first throughout the little hamlet of Fatima, then across the Countryside, and then through the walls of the priories and Masonic Lodges. We can speculate on when the news first reached the Grand Lodges and the Vatican. This Wolf believes it was certainly before August 1917; more than likely shortly after the July Apparition, when thousands of pilgrims mobbed the little hill at Fatima.
How to proceed? St Sr Lucia had already been questioned by her Parish Priest, Fr Ferreira, who agreed with her mother that she had lied about seeing Our Lady. This Wolf does not think highly of Fr Ferreira. Rather than having scorn and indignation that events would upset the festival of the parish Patron St Anthony of Padua on June 13th, Fr Ferreira could have rather quite simply suggested that a delegation accompany the children to the Cova de Iria at high noon. If the children were devious, the fraud would be quickly exposed, and then they could be soundly punished.
But Fr Ferreira did not proceed in this manner. Instead, he stubbornly continued to assist Maria dos Santos in making life a veritable hell for poor little St Sr Lucia. Many claim he was frightened attention would draw the notice of the Anti-Catholic Masonic Authorities. But if Fr Ferreira had the least confidence in Our Lord Jesus Christ, could he not have been reassured that all the public attention would shield him from any open reprisal, lest the wrath of the people be aroused? Can one suspect that Fr Ferreira was actually in league with the Masonic Authorities in opposing Our Lady of Fatima- not that he was consciously abetting such noxious blasphemy, but, rather, "just following orders".
And who was giving the orders? At first, one would guess the Lodges were. More than likely, when the "Tinsmith", Arturo de Oliveira Santos, administrator of the Town of Ourem, summoned the Three Little Children to appear at Court on Saturday, August 11th, that was not his own idea. Contrary to what many people think, most "revolutionaries" do not care one whit for the dogma they profess. Instead, the perks are what attract them- those cinchy jobs, the high salaries, being esteemed by peers. They have two Great Commandments: The first is "Don't Rock the Boat", and the second is like unto it: "Thou Shalt not Make Waves".
But, on October 12th, shortly before the 4th Apparition of Our Lady, the Conspiracy would give the whole game away, for those paying attention. That Friday, three cops arrived at a house where the three children were hiding from the gathering crowds, and told them they must go to Ti Matro's home, all the while implying that lack of cooperation would have grave consequences- even death perhaps. Once there, they found the Tinsmith waiting for them. At first, all he wanted them to do was boycott going to the place of the apparitions. Failing this, he insisted on a summit with their parish priest. A reluctant Ti Marto allowed the Tinsmith (His "diligent inquiry" had concluded just Lucia and Jacinta were the "conspirators- he had known nothing of Francesco.) to load the children in his wagon. And where does the Tinsmith go? Lo, straight to the Priory of St Anthony's.
Imagine that. The Masonic Administrator of the District, who just two years previously had held eight priests incognito for eleven days, cooperating with the Local Parish Priest in oppressing three poor little children. After a brief meeting of the children with Fr Ferreira, the Tinsmith now insists they will go to the priory at Ourem. And so all reboard the carriage, and the Tinsmith gallops his horses away from the Apparition Site to begin the famous "boiling in oil" fear campaign in order to try and get the children to divulge the July secrets. By the evening, everyone understands that the children have been kidnapped. Ti and Olympia Marto had heard rumors their children were being detained in Santarem, a hotbed of Revolutionary activity, and perhaps despaired of ever seeing them alive again. Instead, right after Mass for the Feast of the Assumption, there were the children on the rectory porch, safe and sound, with an official from Ourem.
The men of the parish were insightful. They wanted to tear the Tinsmith limb from limb, which is understandable, and exactly what he deserved. After all, child abduction is a capital crime, like murder and rape, and punishable by death. They were also curious as to their pastor's involvement in this affair, and would perhaps have had his hide as well. Indeed, Fr Ferreira believed Ti Marto to be in charge of the mob. "Senhor Marto, you are doing me a great injustice here," the pastor cried.
At that moment, the Tinsmith himself also had the foolhardiness to appear on the scene. Ti Marto was the peacemaker that day, and convinced the crowd that neither the Tinsmith nor Fr Ferreira was to blame, but all happened according to the providence of God. "Senhor Marto speaks very well," the terrified pastor said. And so once again the Mystery of Iniquity and the Mercy of God shake hands for the moment, and bloodshed is averted.
This Wolf is not suggesting that Fr Ferreira and the Tinsmith were in active league against Our Lady. Just that their perspectives were very similar. Fr Ferreira just wanted to be a simple country curate and enjoy the life of a backwater parish priest. The Tinsmith just wanted to be a Big Fish in the Small Pond of Ourem. They are examples of millions of people the world over, who do not want to be bothered with the profundities of Eternity.
Pope Benedict XV re-established the ancient diocese of Leiria on January 17, 1918, and in an April 29, 1918 letter to the Portuguese bishops, he referred to the occurrences at Fatima as “an extraordinary aid from the Mother of God.” If Pope Benedict said anything else regarding Our Lady of Fatima, they have not been recorded for posterity.
The next significant blip on the radar of the Plot against Fatima occurred in February of 1920. Little St Jacinta had just died as Our Lady foretold, in a hospital in Lisbon, close to Portugal's Capitol. Concurrent with her funeral arrangements was a meeting of the Holy Name Society in Lisbon, Portugal's capital, presided over by Cardinal Patriarch Dom Antonio Mendes Belo. During the minutes of the meeting, a statement by a Doctor Lisboa, regretting he could not be present as he was presiding over the burial of St Jacinta, was met with raucous laughter, including that of the Primate.
That Dr Lisboa's act of charity would be the butt of laughter is curious enough. What is more curious is that one of only three visionaries of Our Lady, two years after the working of the Greatest Public Miracle since Moses parted the waters of the Red Sea, should die alone, unattended by anyone. The Cardinal Primate of Portugal, one would think, should have an avid interest in all the minutiae of these tremendous events. (Surely he knew about them.) One can be excused for suspecting that the Catholic Church, both in Portugal and at Rome, preferred that the apocalyptic events at Fatima should be quickly consigned to the dustbin of history.
In Rome, the Great Silence concerning Our Lady of Fatima ended in 1929 when Pius XI issued a bull thunderously approving of the Apparitions. Just Kidding. He did distribute two pictures of Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima to all of the Roman seminarians. The next year, he granted indulgences to pilgrims to Fatima. These acts seemed more a resignation to the unending stream of humanity who went to honor Our Lady of Fatima, than a hearty endorsement of the apparitions. Meanwhile, one year later, Our Lord appeared to St Sr Lucia and told her that "Make it known to My ministers, given that they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command, they will likewise follow him into misfortune. It is never too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary."
This was in response to Pius XI's refusal to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with all the world's bishops, as per the request of June 13th, 1929.
In 1940, Pius XII asked the Portuguese to invoke Our Lady of Fatima to raise missionaries from that nation. In October 1942, Pope Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, with a special mention of Russia. Then, for the first time, words were put in St Sr Lucia's mouth: In early 1943, Sister Lucy explained that the Lord told her that He would accept this Act of Consecration to help speed the end of World War II, but that it will not obtain worldwide peace. Huh? Since when is God pleased with anything less than the exact fulfillment of his requests? (Just ask Moses, who struck the rock twice.) At any rate, we know now that "World War II" was a choreographed conflict already planned to end. The "Pope of Fatima" certainly knew what Our Lady had requested. Why did he not do it? Because he was not "The Pope of Fatima".
We will not belabor the deficiencies of Pius XII, which this Wolf has aptly chronicled elsewhere. Suffice to say that even as he was proclaiming the dogma of Our Lady's Assumption, he became silent concerning her as Mediatrix of All Graces and Co-Redemptrix.
In 1952, he would consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart in a private ceremony. In 1957, he would have Cardinal Ottaviani gather and sequester all of Lucia's writings, especially the envelope containing the Third Secret. St Sr Lucia, suspecting foul play, intimated to Fr Augustine Fuentes on Dec 26th of that year that the Third Secret would be revealed in 1960. And this Wolf suspects that the following year, in 1958, St Sr Lucia was quietly murdered in a Carmelite Cloister in Coimbra.
On February 8, 1960, as the world anxiously awaited the full revelation of the Third Secret, the Vatican issued an anonymous press release, stating that the Third Secret would not be disclosed and “would probably remain, forever, under absolute seal.” The Hostility of the Vatican against Our Lady of Fatima had now come into the open.
On May 13th, 1967, Pope Paul VI came to Fatima, and a counterfeit Sr Lucia was compelled to come and meet him. That this "Sr Lucia" is fake and ghey is beyond dispute. All the forensic arguments aside, this is what "Sr Lucy" apparently said in 1985: “Everyone knows perfectly well that we went through one of the most critical moments in human history [May 1984], when the great, mutually hostile powers planned a nuclear war that would have destroyed the world, if not the whole world, then the greater part of it. And what would have remained? What chances of survival? And who could have dissuaded those arrogant people, surrounded by their war plans…? Who, if not God.” (Thank God Pope John Paul II consecrated the World to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25th 1984. Just kidding. What we see here is a replay of Pius XII's consecration allegedly ending WW2. Just like a good football coach, the Conspiracy will keep running the same play until the defense stops it.)
But the real Slam Dunk for the Fake Sr Lucia is when she received "communion" from Pope John Paul II at the "jubilee" in May 2000. In the video recording, one can clearly see that Sr Lucia wants to take the host into her hand, and is being restrained by one of her "handlers", who has his hand on her elbow. Immediately after receiving "communion" on her tongue, she reaches out, takes the pope's hand, and kisses it. The Video title? "Is this the same "Sister Lucy" that was given communion by an angel in 1916?" Look it up on YouTube.
That the Vatican would sponsor a fraudulent "Sr Lucia" for almost 40 years is breathtaking, and shows to what lengths Apostates will go to forward the Great Plan to destroy the Mass and Sacraments. At present, they appear on the verge of success. Only a very few old priests validly ordained remain. Almost all the older valid bishops are dead. The bishops consecrated by Archbishop Lefebve are aging, and meanwhile the SSPX seems to have re-entered the orbit of the "Conciliar Church". The "Thuc Bishops" are dubious at best. Meanwhile, a deficient "Novus Ordo" liturgy is accepted as valid, if not licit. Confusion abounds.
On March 25th 2022, "Pope Francis" used Our Lady of Fatima as a means to secure his claim to the Chair of Peter by Consecrating Russia, Ukraine, and a collection of petitions to the Immaculate Heart, while urging all the Bishops of the World to join him. Archbishop Georg Gänswein, private secretary of retired Pope Benedict XVI, had told reporters that the former pope would join in the consecration from his residence. Did this fulfill Our Lady's requests? One would think the escalation of World War Three theatre has already answered that question.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!
