The REAL Sister Lucy was Replaced by an Imposter...

Real and Fake Sister Lucy of Fatima These Last Days News - May 18, 2017

"I gave Lucy the Revelation as a temporary secret—as I revealed [the Third Secret] to you on two occasions. Make a concerted effort to bring its entirety to Our children on earth. The hierarchy have not listened to My counsel - thirty-two years lost in indecision and fear of exposure. The Faith is shattered for many." - Our Lady of the Roses, April 29, 1992

Sister Lucy's "new personality"

We have reported in other articles about the suppression of the REAL Third Secret, but in this article we would like to focus on the contradictions that have issued from a personality reported to be "Sister Lucy". We will provide statements that are contradictory, yet reportedly attributed to Sister Lucy. Contradictory statements cannot be both true. The real possibility of an impersonator to Sister Lucy (just as there was an impersonator to Pope Paul VI to further promote the new orientation of the Church) becomes a rational way of explaining the contradictory statements that follow. It appears that yet another deception was perpetrated to suppress the authentic message of Our Lady of Fatima.

The imposter Sister Lucy was burried. What happened to the REAL Sister Lucy?

The REAL Sister Lucy

The "new personality" of Sister Lucy

1) Russia must be specifically consecrated by name (not the world). Sister Lucy categorically states that all consecrations made by the Popes (including 1984) were not correct:

On July 15, 1946, the author William Thomas Walsh interviewed Sister Lucy, and recorded this interview in his book, Our Lady of Fatima:
     "Finally we came to the important subject of the second July secret, or which so many different and conflicting versions have been published. Lucia made it plain that Our Lady did not ask for the consecration of the world to Her Immaculate Heart. What She demanded specifically was the consecration of Russia. She did not comment, of course, on the fact that Pope Pius XII had consecrated the world, not Russia, to the Immaculate Heart in 1942. But she said more than once, and with deliberate emphasis:
     'What Our Lady wants is that the Pope and all the bishops in the world shall consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart on one special day. If this is done, She will convert Russia and there will be peace. If it is not done, the errors of Russia will spread through every country in the world'." (p. 221)

The Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Lucy in May 1952 and said "Make it known to the Holy Father that I am always awaiting the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart. Without the Consecration, Russia will not be able to convert, nor will the world have peace." (II Pellegrinaggio Della Meravigle, p. 440. Rome, 1960. This same work, published under the auspices of the Italian episcopate, affirms that this message was communicated to Pope Pius XII in June. Also, Canon Barthas mentioned that apparition in his communication to the Mariological Congress of Lisbon-Fatima, in 1967).

March 21, 1982 Sister Lucy, before the witnesses Dr. Lacerda and the Bishop of Fatima was formally asked to explain to Pope John Paul II’s personal representative—the Lisbon Nuncio—what Our Lady wanted of the Pope. She explained that the Pope must (1) choose a date, (2) command the bishops of the entire world, (3) to make each in his own cathedral at the same time as the Pope (4) a solemn and public ceremony of reparation and consecration of Russia, (5) to the Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Papal Nuncio later told Dr. Lacerda that he did not forward to the Holy Father the duty of each bishop to join the Pope in obeying the command to consecrate Russia as indicated.

On May 12, 1982, the day before the attempted 1982 consecration, the Vatican's own L'Osservatore Romano published an interview of Sister Lucy by Father Umberto Maria Pasquale, a Salesian priest, during which she told Father Umberto that Our Lady had never requested the Consecration of the world, but only the Consecration of Russia:
     "At a certain moment I said to her: Sister, I should like to ask you a question. If you cannot answer me, let it be. But if you can answer it, I would be most grateful to you . . . Has Our Lady ever spoken to you about the Consecration of the world to Her Immaculate Heart?"
    "No, Father Umberto! Never! At the Cova da Iria in 1917 Our Lady had promised: I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia . . . In 1929, at Tuy, as She had promised, Our Lady came back to tell me that the moment had come to ask the Holy Father for the Consecration of that country [Russia]."

On April 13, 1980, Sister Lucy replied to Fr. Umberto's question regarding the form of consecration that Our Lady of Fatima requested:

Sister Lucy, on March 19, 1983 was again visited by Dr. Lacerda who witnessed the same Papal Nuncio again converse with Sister Lucy in the Pope’s name. She answered clearly: “The consecration of Russia has not been done as Our Lady requested.” She explained that was because ‘Russia’ was not clearly the object of the consecration, and because each bishop had not made in his own cathedral a public and solemn ceremony of consecration of RUSSIA. The text which Sister Lucy had prepared for the Papal Nuncio ended as follows: "The Consecration of Russia has not been done as Our Lady has requested. I was not able to make this statement (before) because I did not have the permission of the Holy See."

Sister Lucy was asked if the 1984 consecration of the world was acceptable. On July 20,1987 Sister Lucy, bound by Portuguese law left her cloister to vote in the national election. Upon her leaving the car, the Argentine journalist Enrique Romero met her and asked her about the consecration of Russia. She confirmed to him that it had not been done and that unless there was a spiritual turnaround featuring prayer and sacrifice, every nation would fall under the cruel Communist dictatorship (This was reported in the early August edition of Para Ti published in Argentina.)

In May 1989 Cardinal Law of Boston visited Sister Lucy. He was told by Sister Lucy that the March 25, 1984 consecration of the world by Pope John Paul II did not fulfill Our Lady's requests. Her exact reply was: “The Holy Father speculates that it has been done, done in the best possible way under the circumstances. Done on the narrow road of the collegial consecration that She [Our Lady of Fatima] has demanded and has been wanting? No, that has not been done.”

Contradiction: the new Sister Lucy now says that the 1984 consecration of the world (without mention of Russia) was accepted. Sister Lucy told Archbishop Bertone on November 17, 2001: "I have already said that the consecration requested by Our Lady was done in 1984, and it has been accepted in heaven."

The Third Secret was to be revealed in 1960 as chosen by Our Lady:

In 1946 Canon Barthas asked Sister Lucy why the world must wait until 1960 for the revelation of the Secret. Sister Lucy gave two reasons for this particular date: first, "because the Blessed Virgin wishes it so," and also because "it will be clearer then." Contradiction: the new Sister Lucy says she chose the date, not Our Lady. The Vatican's official document and commentary on The Message of Fatima quotes from a April 27, 2000 interview of the new Sister Lucy:

Archbishop Bertone therefore asked: “Why only after 1960? Was it Our Lady who fixed that date?” Sister Lucia replied: “It was not Our Lady. I fixed the date because I had the intuition that before 1960 it would not be understood, but that only later would it be understood."

Sister Lucy does not know how to type:

The Mother Prioress of the Carmel of Coimbra has confirmed that Sister Lucy answers all letters herself, in her own handwriting. Also, in 1990, Sister Lucy's own blood sister, Carolina, tells Father Gruner in Fatima that little or no trust can be put in any typewritten letter from Sister Lucy, as she does not even know how to type.
Contradiction: A November 8, 1989 computer-generated letter attributed to the new Sister Lucy stated that the 1984 consecration was accepted by Heaven. The Vatican used this computer-generated letter as "proof" that the collegial consecration of Russia had been done. The Vatican did not cite the numerous, clearly authentic handwritten letters of the REAL Sister Lucy stating that all consecrations were not accepted by Heaven because (1) Russia was not mentioned and (2) the consecration was not made in union with all the bishops.


The Third Secret does not deal with an assassination attempt, but with "dangers threatening the Faith and life of the Christian":

Sister Lucy wrote to the Pope in May 1982, a year after the assassination attempt, to warn that the Third Secret has not yet been completely fulfilled and that we are still moving toward it with great strides if the world does not turn from sin.
Cardinal Ratzinger has read the Third Secret. A 1984 interview of the Cardinal records his reply when asked about the content of the Third Secret. In the first edition of the book, The Ratzinger Report (second printing edited out this statement), Cardinal Ratzinger said that the Third Secret deals with "The dangers threatening the Faith and life of the Christian, and therefore the world. And also the importance of the last times. If it is not published—at least for the moment—it is to avoid confusing religious prophecy with sensationalism. BUT THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THIS THIRD SECRET CORRESPOND TO WHAT IS ANNOUNCED IN SCRIPTURE and are confirmed by many other Marian apparitions, beginning with the Fatima apparitions themselves in their known contents. Conversion, penance are essential conditions of salvation.”
Cardinal Mario Ciappi, the Papal Theologian, said in 1995, "In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top."

Contradiction: The Vatican alleges that the third secret, supposed to be revealed no later than 1960, was about the murder of a Pope and many bishops, priests and lay people by a group of soldiers. As a noted Fatima priest observed, "On May 13, 1981, the Pope was not killed, no one else was killed, and there were no soldiers shooting at anyone." Yet the new Sister Lucy says that the "third secret" has now been fulfilled.

The Third Secret was for the whole world, not just the Pope:

The Third Secret was for the world, not just the Pope (and the Bishop of Fatima could have read it). In March 1957, Bishop Venancio, Fatima’s auxiliary bishop, implored one final time that Bishop da Silva read the Secret before handing it over to the Vatican. Bishop da Silva declined to read it, saying, "That doesn’t interest me." Cardinal Ottaviani verifies this fact in his discourse of February 11, 1967 at the Antonianum. Referring to Bishop da Silva, "Although Lucy said he could, he did not wish to read it."
Bro. Michael of the Holy Trinity, in his monumental work, The Whole Truth of Fatima, Vol. III, states that the Third Secret was not exclusively nor even explicitly addressed to the Pope:

"In any case, an initial fact is certain, and moreover nobody has even thought of questioning it: the immediate recipient of the Secret was Bishop da Silva. It was also planned in 1945 that if he died, the precious document would go to Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon. This fact must be stressed, for it proves that the third Secret, contrary to everything said about it later on, was neither exclusively nor even explicitly addressed to the Holy Father. No, like the first two parts of the Secret, with which it forms a whole, it was entrusted to the Church, and first of all to the representatives of the Portuguese hierarchy, to whom it belonged to inform themselves about it and make it know." (The Whole Truth of Fatima, Vol. III, pp. 468-469)
Contradiction: The new Sister Lucy says the Third Secret was only intended for the Pope.

Russia and communism will take over the entire world if Russia is not consecrated:

On July 20,1987 Sister Lucy, bound by Portuguese law left her cloister to vote in the national election. Upon her leaving the car, the Argentine journalist Enrique Romero met her and asked her about the consecration of Russia. She confirmed to him that it had not been done and that unless there was a spiritual turnaround featuring prayer and sacrifice, every nation would fall under the cruel Communist dictatorship (This was reported in the early August edition of Para Ti published in Argentina.)

In a July 15, 1946 interview with William Thomas Walsh, Sister Lucy stated the following: "What Our Lady wants, is that the Holy Father and all the bishops consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, by a special ceremony. If that consecration is done, the Holy Virgin will convert Russia and peace will reign over the world. If not, the errors of Russia will be propagated everywhere."
Walsh - "In your opinion, does that mean that all countries, without exception, will be conquered by communism?"
Sister Lucy - "Yes."
- (William Thomas Walsh, Our Lady of Fatima, pp. 234-235)

Contradiction: The new Sister Lucy, in the 1992 interview entitled "Two Hours with Sister Lucy", says that there would have been a nuclear war in 1985 but now there is no more cause for concern.

The conversion of Russia:
Our Lady of Fatima said in 1917, “In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.”

Fatima scholar Father Joaquin Alonso who had many interviews with Sister Lucy said, "the 'conversion' of Russia is not to be limited to the return of the Russian people to the Orthodox Christian religions, rejecting the Marxist atheism of the Soviets, but rather, it refers purely, plainly and simply to the total, integral conversion of Russia to the one true Church of Christ, the Catholic Church." (La Verdad Sobre el Sacradoto de Gartima, Fatima sin mitos (2nd edition, Ejercito Axul, Madrid, 1988), p. 78).

Contradiction: The new Sister Lucy said in 1992 that "the Virgin did not request the conversion of Russia to Catholicism"(!!!). She even points to the the cosmetic changes in Russia as "proof" that Russia is now converted. Yes, Russia is converting, to a more materialistic and sophisticated immorality. Bishop Werth (the Catholic Bishop of Siberia) has warned of a "‘new wave of persecution’ against the Catholic Church in the [Russian] federation…." and reminds us that "only 1% of Russian Orthodox go to church."

In April 1993, Boris Yeltsin allowed homosexuality to be decriminalized. Homosexuality is now "legal" in Russia.

According to the Federal Research division of the Library of Congress, as of 1998 Russia has the highest abortion rate in the entire world. Statistic show there are two abortions for every live birth, amounting to 3.5 million abortions per year.

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn has stated that "Russian democracy is a myth," and that Russia's demographic trends are "frightening." (NewsMax.com, March 21, 2000)

Associated Press reported on August 9, 2001, "Russia has turned into a world trash bin of child pornography." ("Activist Says Child Porn Prosecutions Will be Difficult in Indonesia, Russia," Christine Brummitt, Associated Press, Aug. 9, 2001)

On January 12, 2002 the London Times reported: "Russia's last independent television station was closed yesterday, leaving the country's entire broadcast media under Kremlin control."

There has been no conversion of Russia back to the one true Faith, nor to a practice of the Ten Commandments.

On the reality of hell, and that many go there:

On July 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima showed the three shepherd children, Lucy, Francisco, and Jacinta, a vision of hell. Then Our Lady told them, "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."
     Throughout her whole life, Sister Lucy never forgot this horrifying vision of hell and of the damned. On October 13, 1953, Fr. Lombardi asked her, "Do you really believe that many people go to hell?" He also told her, "Certainly, the world is a cesspool of vices ... But there is always hope of salvation." Sister Lucy replied, "No, Father, many are lost."
    Jacinta often lamented the sad fact that so many went to hell: "So many fall into hell! So many are in hell!"
     Sister Lucy also wrote to a young seminarian these words: "Do not be surprised that I speak to you so much about hell.. This is one truth that it is necessary to recall often in these times, because we forget that souls are falling into hell in droves."
     For more information on what Sister Lucy said concerning hell, please read The Whole Truth of Fatima, Vol. II, by Brother Michael of the Holy Trinity.
Contradiction: According to the new Sister Lucy in a reported 1992 interview, she stated, "God condemns no one to hell".

On Fr. Dhanis and his followers: "The devil has used a Father of the Society of Jesus"

Sister Lucy was greatly disturbed by the words and writings of a Jesuit priest, Fr. Dhanis, who was one of the greatest enemies of the Fatima message. In fact, one Jesuit disciple of the erring Fr. Dhanis prompted Sister Lucy to write (in a January 11, 1946 letter to Father Aparacio), “the devil has used a Father of the Society of Jesus”:

“I did not speak to him and I have not answered the others, and for this I have been much grieved, since it concerns the consecration of Russia. I have not been able to do it because more than ever, I have strict orders in regard to correspondence and visits. That does not surprise me. The works of God are always persecuted. What grieves me solely, is that the devil has used a Father of the Society of Jesus. I do not know what he has told Reverend Mother Provincial. But, the poor man, let us leave him! I believe he thinks he is doing a good thing. The Good God will know how to draw His own glory out of everything.”

Sister Lucy herself was also made aware of Fr. Dhanis' attacks on Our Lady's apparitions by Fr. Jongen, a Dutch Montfort Father who visited Sister Lucy on February 3, 1946. In this interview Father Jongen obtained much information and later responded to the accusations of Fr. Dhanis in three separate articles. Fr. Jongen writes: "We presented to her our excuses for having asked so many questions, while telling her that a Belgian Jesuit priest [Fr. Dhanis] had just published a book putting in doubt some of her affirmations concerning Fatima. She replied immediately: 'And then?' Suddenly, Lucy had an idea: 'That Jesuit priest could write my confessors and ask them what I communicated to them around 1927. They were Fathers José da Silva Aparicio and José Bernardo Goncalves.'" (Fr. Jongen, "En visite chez Lucia," Médiatrice et Reine, pp. 32-35, July 1946)

Contradiction: Another disturbing element in the Vatican’s June 26, 2000 document is the fact that Fr. Dhanis, S.J., one of the greatest enemies of the Fatima apparitions, was quoted favorable in this Vatican document as "the Flemish theologian [Fr.] E. Dhanis, an eminent scholar in the field." The great Fr. Joaquin Alonso, official archivist and perhaps the greatest of all Fatima experts, was not quoted by the Vatican. No, Fr. Dhanis, who did not believe in the Fatima apparitions, was quoted and praised by the Vatican.
Fr. Dhanis himself writes,

“All things considered, it is not easy to state precisely what degree of credence is to be given to the accounts of Sister Lucy. Without questioning her sincerity, or the sound judgment she shows in daily life, one may judge it prudent to use her writings only with reservations....
     “Let us observe also that a good person can be sincere and prove to have good judgment in everyday life, but have a propensity for unconscious fabrication in a certain area, or in any case, a tendency to relate old memories of twenty years ago with embellishments and considerable modifications.” (Nouvelle Revue Theologique, 1952, p. 582)

The new Sister Lucy, however, liked what she read in the Vatican's 2000 document that praised Fr. Dhanis.

In a November 17, 2001 interview between the new Sister Lucy and Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B., (Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith), the new Sister Lucy "attentively read and meditated upon the booklet published by the Congregation of the Faith and confirmed everything that was written there."

This would mean that the new Sister Lucy now agreed that Fr. Dhanis was "an eminent scholar" of the Fatima message, the same Fr. Dhanis who insinuated Sister Lucy was a liar who had "a propensity of unconscious fabrication".

The Vatican commentary cites the greatest adversary of the Fatima message and praises him as an "eminent scholar," while no reference is made to the greatest of Fatima historians, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, the official archivist of Fatima and champion of Our Lady's apparitions. Why?

On Gorbachev:

Although the REAL Sister Lucy is not known to have made any comments about this murderous communist and former president of Russia who oversaw the invasion and slaughter of the people of Afghanistan, Our Lady of the Roses did warn us about Gorbachev on June 18, 1992: "You will see that you keep a constant vigilance of prayer, going throughout your nation and the free nations of the world. We say free nations, because they are the ones that are being planned to fall and capitulate to satan's consort. And I say it in plural: consorts, Yeltsin and Gorbachev."

Contradiction: In an interview of the new Sister Lucy entitled "Two Hours with Sister Lucy," she spoke about the cosmetic changes in Russia:

Sister Lucia: "This they are now free to do [freedom of religion], and many conversions are, in fact, taking place, and that man in Russia, unknowingly was an instrument of God in the conversion.

Question: What man? Gorbachev?

Sister Lucia: Yes!
[The new Sister Lucy's unknowing "instrument of God", Mikhail Gorbachev, oversaw the invasion of Afghanistan. It is reported that at the height of the war, Soviet troops deliberately targeted children, dropping booby-trapped toys from airplanes. (Black Book of Communism, p. 719). Also, it is estimated that more than 30,000 children between the ages of six and fourteen were abducted and sent to the Soviet Union. Between 1.5 million and 2 million Afghans were killed, 90% of whom were civilians, and between 2 million and 4 million were wounded.
     On a PBS television program on October 23, 1996, Gorbachev stated: "The cosmos is my God. Nature is my God."
     A September 15, 2002 article by Zenit reported that Bishop Werth of Novosibirsk, in Western Siberia, says that "Russia has compiled a blacklist of Catholic priests it intends to expel in the near future." The article goes on to recount Bishop Werth’s comments that there is a "‘new wave of persecution’ against the Catholic Church in the [Russian] federation…."
     Zenit notes that "To date, Bishop Jerzy Mazur of St. Joseph in Irkutsk, eastern Siberia, as well as four priests of Italian, Polish and Slovak nationality, have been expelled."
    The article also states: "Bishop Werth said that Russia needs a ‘spiritual rebirth, because people want to experience a real inner conviction.’ Only 1% of Russian Orthodox go to church."]

"It is God Who permits it all. But, at the same time, it demonstrates how much punishment can be evoked for not paying attention to God's dictates." - Sister Lucy

"My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978

"When I came to Fatima many years ago, I knew that communism would go throughout the world destroying many nations and attacking My Son's Church. Therefore, I made a promise that if the Pope, the Pope of those days and the Pope today, would unite with all the bishops of the world, all together on one day—not the world—but the bishops and the Pope will unite and pray for the consecration of Russia. I do not mean the world, My children; I mean Russia—Russia, the scourge of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1987

Our Lady of the Roses' Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

SISTER LUCY
"I wish at this time, My children, to repeat again the need to write, to speak, to meet with the Holy Father in Rome, and plead with him to have Lucy come forward and tell the Third Secret word for word, as I give to you each evening on My appearances upon the grounds of Bayside, and Flushing Meadows." - Our Lady, June 18, 1986

SCORNED, DISCARDED, HIDDEN
"Many years have gone by, My children, since I tried to warn you at Fatima. My message was scorned then by many, discarded and hidden from the world, but My message now cannot be discarded or kept hidden, for you have reached now a point in your life, My children, your lifetime upon your earth, when your days are now being counted." - Our Lady, February 10, 1977

FATIMA
"My child, how many warnings have I sent upon the world, and yet they go unheeded.
"I wish that you make known, or refresh the memory of My children with My visit to the land of Fatima." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974

THIRD SECRET
"My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978

"YOU DID NOT LISTEN"
"My Mother came to you at Fatima warning that unless man stopped his path to perdition, Russia would spread her errors throughout your world causing misery, sufferings, and death and enslavement. My children, you did not listen and act upon Her counsel then, just as many now do not listen and act upon Her counsel. It is a part of human nature to exercise too free a will to reject. And this, I say, falls also onto My pastors who are scattering My sheep in My House." - Jesus, May 27, 1978

CAST ASIDE
"My warnings at Fatima were cast aside as they are being cast aside now, My children. It is a failing of human nature, My child, that that which does not give pleasure to the carnal nature of man is not accepted. Man shall blind himself to the truth, as he does not wish to face the truth. And those who seek to bring him the truth are cast aside and do much penance, My child." - Our Lady, September 13, 1975

THE FIGHT FOR POWER HAS BEGUN
"The forces of evil are gathering. 666 now controls all the world, and sad to say, My children, 666 has entered upon Rome, and the fight for power has begun. Pray for your Vicar. Pray for all men of sin, and above all, My children, pray for your children, for many parents shall shed tears of great remorse—too late!" - Jesus, September 28, 1976

IN THE YEAR 1972
"Satan, Lucifer in human form, entered into Rome in the year 1972. He cut off the rule, the role of the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI. Lucifer has controlled Rome and continues this control now.
"And I tell you now, My children, unless you pray and make My counsel known to all of the ruling fathers of the Eternal City of Rome, My Son's Church, His House, will be forced into the catacombs. A great struggle lies ahead for mankind. The eventual outcome is for good of all, for this trial in My Son's Church will be a true proving ground for all the faithful. Many latter-day saints shall rise out of the tribulation." - Our Lady, September 7, 1978

HIGHEST REALMS OF THE HIERARCHY
"My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978

The REAL Sister Lucy	The "new personality" of Sister Lucy
1) Russia must be specifically consecrated by name (not the world). Sister Lucy categorically states that all consecrations made by the Popes (including 1984) were not correct: On July 15, 1946, the author William Thomas Walsh interviewed Sister Lucy, and recorded this interview in his book, Our Lady of Fatima: "Finally we came to the important subject of the second July secret, or which so many different and conflicting versions have been published. Lucia made it plain that Our Lady did not ask for the consecration of the world to Her Immaculate Heart. What She demanded specifically was the consecration of Russia. She did not comment, of course, on the fact that Pope Pius XII had consecrated the world, not Russia, to the Immaculate Heart in 1942. But she said more than once, and with deliberate emphasis: 'What Our Lady wants is that the Pope and all the bishops in the world shall consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart on one special day. If this is done, She will convert Russia and there will be peace. If it is not done, the errors of Russia will spread through every country in the world'." (p. 221) The Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Lucy in May 1952 and said "Make it known to the Holy Father that I am always awaiting the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart. Without the Consecration, Russia will not be able to convert, nor will the world have peace." (II Pellegrinaggio Della Meravigle, p. 440. Rome, 1960. This same work, published under the auspices of the Italian episcopate, affirms that this message was communicated to Pope Pius XII in June. Also, Canon Barthas mentioned that apparition in his communication to the Mariological Congress of Lisbon-Fatima, in 1967). March 21, 1982 Sister Lucy, before the witnesses Dr. Lacerda and the Bishop of Fatima was formally asked to explain to Pope John Paul II’s personal representative—the Lisbon Nuncio—what Our Lady wanted of the Pope. She explained that the Pope must (1) choose a date, (2) command the bishops of the entire world, (3) to make each in his own cathedral at the same time as the Pope (4) a solemn and public ceremony of reparation and consecration of Russia, (5) to the Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Papal Nuncio later told Dr. Lacerda that he did not forward to the Holy Father the duty of each bishop to join the Pope in obeying the command to consecrate Russia as indicated. On May 12, 1982, the day before the attempted 1982 consecration, the Vatican's own L'Osservatore Romano published an interview of Sister Lucy by Father Umberto Maria Pasquale, a Salesian priest, during which she told Father Umberto that Our Lady had never requested the Consecration of the world, but only the Consecration of Russia: "At a certain moment I said to her: Sister, I should like to ask you a question. If you cannot answer me, let it be. But if you can answer it, I would be most grateful to you . . . Has Our Lady ever spoken to you about the Consecration of the world to Her Immaculate Heart?" "No, Father Umberto! Never! At the Cova da Iria in 1917 Our Lady had promised: I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia . . . In 1929, at Tuy, as She had promised, Our Lady came back to tell me that the moment had come to ask the Holy Father for the Consecration of that country [Russia]." On April 13, 1980, Sister Lucy replied to Fr. Umberto's question regarding the form of consecration that Our Lady of Fatima requested: Sister Lucy, on March 19, 1983 was again visited by Dr. Lacerda who witnessed the same Papal Nuncio again converse with Sister Lucy in the Pope’s name. She answered clearly: “The consecration of Russia has not been done as Our Lady requested.” She explained that was because ‘Russia’ was not clearly the object of the consecration, and because each bishop had not made in his own cathedral a public and solemn ceremony of consecration of RUSSIA. The text which Sister Lucy had prepared for the Papal Nuncio ended as follows: "The Consecration of Russia has not been done as Our Lady has requested. I was not able to make this statement (before) because I did not have the permission of the Holy See." Sister Lucy was asked if the 1984 consecration of the world was acceptable. On July 20,1987 Sister Lucy, bound by Portuguese law left her cloister to vote in the national election. Upon her leaving the car, the Argentine journalist Enrique Romero met her and asked her about the consecration of Russia. She confirmed to him that it had not been done and that unless there was a spiritual turnaround featuring prayer and sacrifice, every nation would fall under the cruel Communist dictatorship (This was reported in the early August edition of Para Ti published in Argentina.) In May 1989 Cardinal Law of Boston visited Sister Lucy. He was told by Sister Lucy that the March 25, 1984 consecration of the world by Pope John Paul II did not fulfill Our Lady's requests. Her exact reply was: “The Holy Father speculates that it has been done, done in the best possible way under the circumstances. Done on the narrow road of the collegial consecration that She [Our Lady of Fatima] has demanded and has been wanting? No, that has not been done.”	*Contradiction:* the new Sister Lucy now says that the 1984 consecration of the world (without mention of Russia) was accepted. Sister Lucy told Archbishop Bertone on November 17, 2001: "I have already said that the consecration requested by Our Lady was done in 1984, and it has been accepted in heaven."
The Third Secret was to be revealed in 1960 as chosen by Our Lady: In 1946 Canon Barthas asked Sister Lucy why the world must wait until 1960 for the revelation of the Secret. Sister Lucy gave two reasons for this particular date: first, "because the Blessed Virgin wishes it so," and also because "it will be clearer then."	Contradiction: the new Sister Lucy says she chose the date, not Our Lady. The Vatican's official document and commentary on The Message of Fatima quotes from a April 27, 2000 interview of the new Sister Lucy: Archbishop Bertone therefore asked: “Why only after 1960? Was it Our Lady who fixed that date?” Sister Lucia replied: “It was not Our Lady. I fixed the date because I had the intuition that before 1960 it would not be understood, but that only later would it be understood."
Sister Lucy does not know how to type: The Mother Prioress of the Carmel of Coimbra has confirmed that Sister Lucy answers all letters herself, in her own handwriting. Also, in 1990, Sister Lucy's own blood sister, Carolina, tells Father Gruner in Fatima that little or no trust can be put in any typewritten letter from Sister Lucy, as she does not even know how to type.	Contradiction: A November 8, 1989 computer-generated letter attributed to the new Sister Lucy stated that the 1984 consecration was accepted by Heaven. The Vatican used this computer-generated letter as "proof" that the collegial consecration of Russia had been done. The Vatican did not cite the numerous, clearly authentic handwritten letters of the REAL Sister Lucy stating that all consecrations were not accepted by Heaven because (1) Russia was not mentioned and (2) the consecration was not made in union with all the bishops.
The Third Secret does not deal with an assassination attempt, but with "dangers threatening the Faith and life of the Christian": Sister Lucy wrote to the Pope in May 1982, a year after the assassination attempt, to warn that the Third Secret has not yet been completely fulfilled and that we are still moving toward it with great strides if the world does not turn from sin. Cardinal Ratzinger has read the Third Secret. A 1984 interview of the Cardinal records his reply when asked about the content of the Third Secret. In the first edition of the book, The Ratzinger Report (second printing edited out this statement), Cardinal Ratzinger said that the Third Secret deals with "The dangers threatening the Faith and life of the Christian, and therefore the world. And also the importance of the last times. If it is not published—at least for the moment—it is to avoid confusing religious prophecy with sensationalism. BUT THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THIS THIRD SECRET CORRESPOND TO WHAT IS ANNOUNCED IN SCRIPTURE and are confirmed by many other Marian apparitions, beginning with the Fatima apparitions themselves in their known contents. Conversion, penance are essential conditions of salvation.” Cardinal Mario Ciappi, the Papal Theologian, said in 1995, "In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top."	*Contradiction:* The Vatican alleges that the third secret, supposed to be revealed no later than 1960, was about the murder of a Pope and many bishops, priests and lay people by a group of soldiers. As a noted Fatima priest observed, "On May 13, 1981, the Pope was not killed, no one else was killed, and there were no soldiers shooting at anyone." Yet the new Sister Lucy says that the "third secret" has now been fulfilled.
The Third Secret was for the whole world, not just the Pope: The Third Secret was for the world, not just the Pope (and the Bishop of Fatima could have read it). In March 1957, Bishop Venancio, Fatima’s auxiliary bishop, implored one final time that Bishop da Silva read the Secret before handing it over to the Vatican. Bishop da Silva declined to read it, saying, "That doesn’t interest me." Cardinal Ottaviani verifies this fact in his discourse of February 11, 1967 at the Antonianum. Referring to Bishop da Silva, "Although Lucy said he could, he did not wish to read it." Bro. Michael of the Holy Trinity, in his monumental work, The Whole Truth of Fatima, Vol. III, states that the Third Secret was not exclusively nor even explicitly addressed to the Pope: "In any case, an initial fact is certain, and moreover nobody has even thought of questioning it: the immediate recipient of the Secret was Bishop da Silva. It was also planned in 1945 that if he died, the precious document would go to Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon. This fact must be stressed, for it proves that the third Secret, contrary to everything said about it later on, was neither exclusively nor even explicitly addressed to the Holy Father. No, like the first two parts of the Secret, with which it forms a whole, it was entrusted to the Church, and first of all to the representatives of the Portuguese hierarchy, to whom it belonged to inform themselves about it and make it know." (The Whole Truth of Fatima, Vol. III, pp. 468-469)	*Contradiction:* The new Sister Lucy says the Third Secret was only intended for the Pope.
Russia and communism will take over the entire world if Russia is not consecrated: On July 20,1987 Sister Lucy, bound by Portuguese law left her cloister to vote in the national election. Upon her leaving the car, the Argentine journalist Enrique Romero met her and asked her about the consecration of Russia. She confirmed to him that it had not been done and that unless there was a spiritual turnaround featuring prayer and sacrifice, every nation would fall under the cruel Communist dictatorship (This was reported in the early August edition of Para Ti published in Argentina.) In a July 15, 1946 interview with William Thomas Walsh, Sister Lucy stated the following: "What Our Lady wants, is that the Holy Father and all the bishops consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, by a special ceremony. If that consecration is done, the Holy Virgin will convert Russia and peace will reign over the world. If not, the errors of Russia will be propagated everywhere." Walsh - "In your opinion, does that mean that all countries, without exception, will be conquered by communism?" Sister Lucy - "Yes." - (William Thomas Walsh, Our Lady of Fatima, pp. 234-235)	Contradiction: The new Sister Lucy, in the 1992 interview entitled "Two Hours with Sister Lucy", says that there would have been a nuclear war in 1985 but now there is no more cause for concern.
The conversion of Russia: Our Lady of Fatima said in 1917, “In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.” Fatima scholar Father Joaquin Alonso who had many interviews with Sister Lucy said, "the 'conversion' of Russia is not to be limited to the return of the Russian people to the Orthodox Christian religions, rejecting the Marxist atheism of the Soviets, but rather, it refers purely, plainly and simply to the total, integral conversion of Russia to the one true Church of Christ, the Catholic Church." (La Verdad Sobre el Sacradoto de Gartima, Fatima sin mitos (2nd edition, Ejercito Axul, Madrid, 1988), p. 78).	Contradiction: The new Sister Lucy said in 1992 that "the Virgin did not request the conversion of Russia to Catholicism"(!!!). She even points to the the cosmetic changes in Russia as "proof" that Russia is now converted. Yes, Russia is converting, to a more materialistic and sophisticated immorality. Bishop Werth (the Catholic Bishop of Siberia) has warned of a "‘new wave of persecution’ against the Catholic Church in the [Russian] federation…." and reminds us that "only 1% of Russian Orthodox go to church." In April 1993, Boris Yeltsin allowed homosexuality to be decriminalized. Homosexuality is now "legal" in Russia. According to the Federal Research division of the Library of Congress, as of 1998 Russia has the highest abortion rate in the entire world. Statistic show there are two abortions for every live birth, amounting to 3.5 million abortions per year. Alexandr Solzhenitsyn has stated that "Russian democracy is a myth," and that Russia's demographic trends are "frightening." (NewsMax.com, March 21, 2000) Associated Press reported on August 9, 2001, "Russia has turned into a world trash bin of child pornography." ("Activist Says Child Porn Prosecutions Will be Difficult in Indonesia, Russia," Christine Brummitt, Associated Press, Aug. 9, 2001) On January 12, 2002 the London Times reported: "Russia's last independent television station was closed yesterday, leaving the country's entire broadcast media under Kremlin control." There has been no conversion of Russia back to the one true Faith, nor to a practice of the Ten Commandments.
On the reality of hell, and that many go there: On July 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima showed the three shepherd children, Lucy, Francisco, and Jacinta, a vision of hell. Then Our Lady told them, "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." Throughout her whole life, Sister Lucy never forgot this horrifying vision of hell and of the damned. On October 13, 1953, Fr. Lombardi asked her, "Do you really believe that many people go to hell?" He also told her, "Certainly, the world is a cesspool of vices ... But there is always hope of salvation." Sister Lucy replied, "No, Father, many are lost." Jacinta often lamented the sad fact that so many went to hell: "So many fall into hell! So many are in hell!" Sister Lucy also wrote to a young seminarian these words: "Do not be surprised that I speak to you so much about hell.. This is one truth that it is necessary to recall often in these times, because we forget that souls are falling into hell in droves." For more information on what Sister Lucy said concerning hell, please read The Whole Truth of Fatima, Vol. II, by Brother Michael of the Holy Trinity.	Contradiction: According to the new Sister Lucy in a reported 1992 interview, she stated, "God condemns no one to hell".
On Fr. Dhanis and his followers: "The devil has used a Father of the Society of Jesus" Sister Lucy was greatly disturbed by the words and writings of a Jesuit priest, Fr. Dhanis, who was one of the greatest enemies of the Fatima message. In fact, one Jesuit disciple of the erring Fr. Dhanis prompted Sister Lucy to write (in a January 11, 1946 letter to Father Aparacio), “the devil has used a Father of the Society of Jesus”: “I did not speak to him and I have not answered the others, and for this I have been much grieved, since it concerns the consecration of Russia. I have not been able to do it because more than ever, I have strict orders in regard to correspondence and visits. That does not surprise me. The works of God are always persecuted. What grieves me solely, is that the devil has used a Father of the Society of Jesus. I do not know what he has told Reverend Mother Provincial. But, the poor man, let us leave him! I believe he thinks he is doing a good thing. The Good God will know how to draw His own glory out of everything.” Sister Lucy herself was also made aware of Fr. Dhanis' attacks on Our Lady's apparitions by Fr. Jongen, a Dutch Montfort Father who visited Sister Lucy on February 3, 1946. In this interview Father Jongen obtained much information and later responded to the accusations of Fr. Dhanis in three separate articles. Fr. Jongen writes: "We presented to her our excuses for having asked so many questions, while telling her that a Belgian Jesuit priest [Fr. Dhanis] had just published a book putting in doubt some of her affirmations concerning Fatima. She replied immediately: 'And then?' Suddenly, Lucy had an idea: 'That Jesuit priest could write my confessors and ask them what I communicated to them around 1927. They were Fathers José da Silva Aparicio and José Bernardo Goncalves.'" (Fr. Jongen, "En visite chez Lucia," Médiatrice et Reine, pp. 32-35, July 1946)	Contradiction: Another disturbing element in the Vatican’s June 26, 2000 document is the fact that Fr. Dhanis, S.J., one of the greatest enemies of the Fatima apparitions, was quoted favorable in this Vatican document as "the Flemish theologian [Fr.] E. Dhanis, an eminent scholar in the field." The great Fr. Joaquin Alonso, official archivist and perhaps the greatest of all Fatima experts, was not quoted by the Vatican. No, Fr. Dhanis, who did not believe in the Fatima apparitions, was quoted and praised by the Vatican. Fr. Dhanis himself writes, “All things considered, it is not easy to state precisely what degree of credence is to be given to the accounts of Sister Lucy. Without questioning her sincerity, or the sound judgment she shows in daily life, one may judge it prudent to use her writings only with reservations.... “Let us observe also that a good person can be sincere and prove to have good judgment in everyday life, but have a propensity for unconscious fabrication in a certain area, or in any case, a tendency to relate old memories of twenty years ago with embellishments and considerable modifications.” (Nouvelle Revue Theologique, 1952, p. 582) The new Sister Lucy, however, liked what she read in the Vatican's 2000 document that praised Fr. Dhanis. In a November 17, 2001 interview between the new Sister Lucy and Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B., (Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith), the new Sister Lucy "attentively read and meditated upon the booklet published by the Congregation of the Faith and confirmed everything that was written there." This would mean that the new Sister Lucy now agreed that Fr. Dhanis was "an eminent scholar" of the Fatima message, the same Fr. Dhanis who insinuated Sister Lucy was a liar who had "a propensity of unconscious fabrication". The Vatican commentary cites the greatest adversary of the Fatima message and praises him as an "eminent scholar," while no reference is made to the greatest of Fatima historians, Fr. Joaquin Alonso, the official archivist of Fatima and champion of Our Lady's apparitions. Why?
On Gorbachev: Although the REAL Sister Lucy is not known to have made any comments about this murderous communist and former president of Russia who oversaw the invasion and slaughter of the people of Afghanistan, Our Lady of the Roses did warn us about Gorbachev on June 18, 1992: "You will see that you keep a constant vigilance of prayer, going throughout your nation and the free nations of the world. We say free nations, because they are the ones that are being planned to fall and capitulate to satan's consort. And I say it in plural: consorts, Yeltsin and Gorbachev."	Contradiction: In an interview of the new Sister Lucy entitled "Two Hours with Sister Lucy," she spoke about the cosmetic changes in Russia: Sister Lucia: "This they are now free to do [freedom of religion], and many conversions are, in fact, taking place, and that man in Russia, unknowingly was an instrument of God in the conversion. Question: What man? Gorbachev? Sister Lucia: Yes! [The new Sister Lucy's unknowing "instrument of God", Mikhail Gorbachev, oversaw the invasion of Afghanistan. It is reported that at the height of the war, Soviet troops deliberately targeted children, dropping booby-trapped toys from airplanes. (Black Book of Communism, p. 719). Also, it is estimated that more than 30,000 children between the ages of six and fourteen were abducted and sent to the Soviet Union. Between 1.5 million and 2 million Afghans were killed, 90% of whom were civilians, and between 2 million and 4 million were wounded. On a PBS television program on October 23, 1996, Gorbachev stated: "The cosmos is my God. Nature is my God." A September 15, 2002 article by Zenit reported that Bishop Werth of Novosibirsk, in Western Siberia, says that "Russia has compiled a blacklist of Catholic priests it intends to expel in the near future." The article goes on to recount Bishop Werth’s comments that there is a "‘new wave of persecution’ against the Catholic Church in the [Russian] federation…." Zenit notes that "To date, Bishop Jerzy Mazur of St. Joseph in Irkutsk, eastern Siberia, as well as four priests of Italian, Polish and Slovak nationality, have been expelled." The article also states: "Bishop Werth said that Russia needs a ‘spiritual rebirth, because people want to experience a real inner conviction.’ Only 1% of Russian Orthodox go to church."]
