IMO, M Martin was answering to those who thought of the 3rd secret as being horrible. Horrible as to people turning to ashes and war and such. M. Martin said, the 3rd Secret is worse than that. Then you ask yourself, what can be worse! IMO worse is no more Precious Blood. The Power is in the Blood! Chapter 12 of Daniel states: there will be an end to the Sacrificial Mass. We have had this for some time, but it will come to an end and it will last for ==3 and a half years.
A saint once said, "It would be better for us to be without the Sun, then the Precious Blood.
Man has little or no idea, evidently, what we would be like without the Precious Blood. The Loss of a Soul IS WORSE than the Loss of body.

His comments came after JPII made the ambiguous reference to a prudent caution against "sensationalism" and large ocean waves inundating coastlands without being clear if he was saying that could happen. Martin said that he was sworn to not reveal what he had read, but that he never promised he would not answer whether some example text was the authentic Third Secret, and in that context he said what JPII was saying was not what MM had read, and that it is not even close.
.
It seems to me that the Precious Blood is a good guess, and it could also entail the Eucharistic Host, which is the same sacrament. In fact, if you don't have the one you don't have the other, for you need BOTH for a valid Mass and Holy Communion. This is why the removal of
mysterium fidei from the Novus Ordo wine consecration is a really bad thing. They moved its vernacular translation (the mystery of faith) to AFTER the elevation where it is
de facto redefined as a proclamation of the people (
"Let us proclaim the mystery of faith") which has nothing to do with its Apostolic connotation. This accommodation to Protestants made Protestants happy for a few decades, but is that what the Mass is supposed to do? Has it ever been? Why would it do so now if not before? And why do we even need the Mass in the first place? What's the big deal?
.
It was Padre Pio who said, the
earth can exist without the sun, but the earth cannot exist without the Mass. He had a great talent for getting RIGHT to the
point..
There are a lot of Catholics still around who attend the Novus Ordo thinking that's all there really is any more.
If they were to be given a convincing message from Our Blessed Mother that they have been going to Church for years without receiving the grace of absolution or Holy Communion and that for these sacraments to be valid they must be returned to their traditional form that was in use BEFORE THE EVIL COUNCIL and the consequent changes that followed, then it's not hard to imagine confessionals being jammed with long lines out the door and around the block in parishes all over the world.
.
But the announcement of Our Lady's message would have to be convincing. At the present time, it seems to me that if Francis were to attempt to make any such announcement, the MSM would eat him alive, the Jєωs would accuse him of "anti-Semitism," the local bishops would ignore it and most of the rank and file parishioners would be confused, since their parish priest might give one reaction while the pastor down the road a piece might give an entirely different interpretation.
.
In FACT, I can easily picture priests and even bishops deferring to Benedict XVI's hermeneutic of continuity to explain away the discrepancy between priests and bishops and monsignors and priors and abbots and archbishops and cardinals, but all this has already been foretold.
.
It seems to me that some kind of powerful sign or shocking event would have to happen before we get a real Pope who acts and speaks like a true Pope. The "bullets and arrows" shot by soldiers that kill the "bishop dressed in white" who "gave us the impression he would have been the Pope" as he climbs a hill passing corpses of other Churchmen who had died along the way to be killed under a cork tree-like cross makes me think the soldiers are Mohammedans because they are smuggling bows and arrows right now into Italy and other countries of Europe.
.
It's already well-known that Mohammedans do not respect Christians who lie to them by saying that we all worship the same God (like Vat.II says) and that one religion is as good as another. And we already know what Mohammedans do with people they don't respect.
