Our Lady did not request the consecration of Ukraine at Fatima, and therefore, Francis is not complying with her request.
Why is the SSPX pretending he is?
Some people at my SSPX chapel are arguing that because Ukraine was part of the USSR when Our Lady made the request, therefore Ukraine does not constitute an additional country. But if not, should not Francis need to add the other 14 countries that were part of the USSR in 1929 (lest the same logic conclude Francis is not consecrating the whole Russia/USSR?
But this is neither here nor there: Today -at the time of the consecration- Ukraine is not Russia, nor does it subsist within Russia. It is it’s own country, and Our Lady didn’t ask for it to be consecrated.
Given that fact, I just can’t understand the pretended enthusiasm that “the consecration is finally happening.”
What is motivating the SSPX to go along with this?
Some people are even worried that, because of this imposture, an intensified chastisement will be the result, rather than a time of peace and the conversion of Russia.
I do not understand why it’s so hard for Rome simply to do exactly what Our Lady asked. Are they afraid that doing so would wash away their modernism and restore tradition?
Others are saying this deliberate contortion of Our Lady’s request is an insult, and that if it is generally true that any consecration to Our Lady is good, this 3rd refusal to comply with her request does not merit her favor.
If I tell my child to make his bed before he can go outside, and rather than do what I told him, instead she does something else, the condition is not met. If a second time, she does something else, and asks me to go outside, I’m getting irritated, and tell her she still hasn’t complied. If a 3rd time she does something else, I either punish her, or quit paying attention.
I wonder if Heaven will have the same reaction?
