Good for you ! I have been keeping track of Escriva and Fatima for quite awhile. I recall the photographs of Sec of State Cardinal Bertone quickly taping of her cell and the news reporting he carefully went though it and took the computer and possibly her diaries. I found it odd that such an elderly nun had a computer at all. But no one was allegedly allowed into her cell after she died.
Absolutely no one addresses the fact that Fatima and Sr Lucia were under the control of Opus Dei.
In his own book Escriva states he visited Sr Lucia in Tuy right after she was ordered to put the Third Secret to paper to go to the Vatican. But, he says he never asked her about it . Instead he states ,she told him to start the first Opus Dei house outside of Spain in Coimbre, Portugal and that she would handle all the Visas etc for him.
Carmen del Tapia ,Escriva’s long time secretary, states in her book , while recalling his return from Tuy, that he warned the women of Opus Dei not to be like ,”…the silly nuns”, and that he described Sr Lucia as a, “good but silly woman.”
Interesting that a few years later the Sr Lucia we have come to know , wound up a Carmelite nun after 23 years as a Dorothean in Coimbre and that after her death Mother Celine gave an interview and stated,"All the nuns in the Cloister are Opus Dei cooperators."
Interesting too was the fact that Escriva's Postulater for his Cause was Cardinal Poletti, famous as listed on the Propaganda Due Lodge whose member list was confiscated by the Italian equivalent to our special investigative police.. Poletti is also noted to have obtained from the Pope the St Appolinaire Basilica in Rome for Opus Dei. A large portrait of Escriva hangs in the foyer. Notable to was the more recent search on the basilica's crypt where Enrique de Pedis rested in a diamond studded coffin. He was the head of the infamous Magliana mafia and they were searching for clues in his coffin for the kidnapped Vatican employee's daughter Emmanuella Orlandi whose body was never recovered. Allegedly Poletti allowed the mobster to be re buried in the basilica because of a favor he did for the Cardinal."Seven years later, Italians learned via a newspaper report that his remains lay in Saint Apollinare’s crypt, where burials hadn’t occurred for a century. The exception made for a notorious gangster raised a few eyebrows."

Truly all these observations beg Christ's rhetorical question:

"And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.   And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?   I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth…"
