Why did Pius XII refuse to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
Pope Pius XII in October 1942 performed the
Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the entire world, and in July 1952 he specifically consecrated the Peoples of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by his
apostolic letter Sacro Vergente Anno. Pope Pius XII stated: “.....
a few years ago We consecrated the entire human race to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, so today We consecrate and in a most special manner We entrust all the peoples of Russia to this Immaculate Heart”
