“ Fatima under seals”


    Serge de Beketch’s 'Libre Journal' publishes an article in his February 22 issue "Amazing" about the death of Sister Lucie, under the catchy title: "Fatima under seals."

  "Silently informed of the death of Sister Lucie of Fatima on 13 February, Cardinal Ratzinger ordered that her cell be sealed before being screened by a team of Theologians and prelates sent from Rome with the mission to cease all influx of the many tempted "visionarists " who keep coming back again and again questioning of the famous "Third Secret."

  According to the Bishop of Coimbre, it is in this cell that Sister Lucie "would have had" other visions. It's here that she kept her journal and that she wrote to the pope letters where she exposed her "mystical intuitions."

  This is an intended jab at Italian journalist Vittorio Messori, author of the famous interview of John Paul II published under the title "Enter into hope", and the strange double negative; "Mgr Ratzinger didn't say these pages wouldn't end up locked up forever in an inaccessible section of the Vatican secret archives."

  Why submit a team of trusted experts to the relevant control of the contents of the religious' modest personal archives? Lucy herself, (to believe the words that Bishop Ratzinger attributed to her in June 2000), kept repeating that  '... she had nothing new to say about the apparitions; that the conversion of Russia had been carried out in accordance with the will of the Blessed Virgin and her Son, and that the Third Secret, as was revealed on June 26, 2000, was the one she had preserved for eighty three years....'?    Other than avoiding and not be confronted with the many experts who doubt the veracity of these statements, noting that each verifiable statement of the nun was preceded by a kind of warning signaling that she spoke only "in obedience."
  On the other hand, we question the need to install seals on the door of a cell of nuns, small space and austere that can be completely drained in a few minutes. Do we think Sister Lucie would have concealed some secret in the hope that " it " would escape the Cleaners?

  In any case, the unusual procedure imposed by Bishop Ratzinger will have for effect of reviving questions and discussions on this Third Secret whose doubtful version presented on June 26, 2000 by the same Ratzinger was moreover a strangely awkward attempt to deter the Curious trying to find out more.

  In August 1984, Cardinal Ratzinger had granted Vittorio Messori an interview around the secret which did not foreshadow the content finally made public:

  "Cardinal Ratzinger, have you read what is called the Third Secret of Fatima?"-

Response: "Yes, I read it.

  "- Why is it not revealed?"

 Response: "Because, according to the judgment of the popes, this adds nothing else to what a Christian should know about the Revelation: a radical call to conversion, the absolute gravity of history, the perils that threaten the faith and the Christian life, and therefore of the world, and then the importance of the last times. If we do not publish, at least for the moment, it is to avoid seeing religious prophecy confused with sensationalism. But the things contained in this Third Secret corresponds to what the Scripture announces and are confirmed by many other Marian apparitions..."

  These remarks were to be censored in the reissue of the interview, but on June 26, 2000, at the time of the "Revelation" of a text presented as that of THE SECRET, it became clear that what was delivered to the faithful had nothing to do with what Ratzinger had said sixteen years earlier or indeed with the first two parts of the Marian message. It is therefore certain that The Secret remains as sealed as Sister Lucy's cell. And that, even in  death, she will remain gagged and cloistered by the one who had, at the name of obedience, imposed silence on her, and imprisonment. Could it be the revelations of Our Lady of Fatima are so terrible as to constrain even a Prince of the Church to a lie as stubborn as it is deviltrious? "
