I don't get why people insert these extra requirements?  Our Lady never said where anyone had to be, or not be, whether sitting or standing, whether at a certain time, on a certain day, neither raining or sunshine.  She simply asked for the consecration, in union with the bishops.  She never said everyone had to be in the same room, or city, or even country (which, is obviously not feasible, because even an ecuмenical council never has 100% attendance due to old age, sickness, etc).

Addendum: I just learned that the Instagram post is directly copied from his Sunday Angelus. Not trying to give credit to the "consecration", but it did mention the Immaculate Heart.

Here's the full quote:


"Consecrations of humanity" (or something like that) to the Immaculate Heart were already performed by Popes before Vatican II.

I think this "consecration of humanity" on Friday will only serve as Rome's excuse to reject future requests of the true consecration of Russia. In a few years, or maybe even next year, when some bishops request it again, they'll just say "it has already been done in 2022".

Assembled would imply formality, ie a Bishop should pray this in his diocesan chapel and not sitting at home on his couch.  But i've only ever read "in union with" and not assembled.  If the word "assembled" was used, then that would imply a location is required also.  Assembled where?  In Rome?  Or Fatima?  Or Russia?  But no location was mentioned so I don't think assembled was part of the original request.
