At Church yesterday they were giving out copies of this book. The Fourth Secret of Fatima, by Antonio Socci, published ny Loteto Publications. Has anyone read it? I started reading it. So far it seems that Socci used to be a skeptic who believed in the official Fatima narrative and thought the traditionalists who believed that the Consecration had not been done were nuts. He went out to oppose the "Fatimists" in a book but upon examining the evidence, he came to the conclusion that the Fatimists were right. Is it a good book? For some reason the thing that jumped out at me the most was that he talked about the twentieth century as the century of satan (though I do not think he used those words) and the one "tragedy" that he mentioned was "The Shoah". From memory I believe he said something like, of all the tragedies of the twentieth century warned about, beginning with "the Shoah" . . ..


So does anyone have any thoughts on this book?

I never did understand why the need for such voluminous books on the secrets of Fatima, seems like a pocket pamphlet would be plenty.

I thought there were only thee secrets. How many secrets actually are there?

There are only three secrets. When people use the term "Fourth Secret" they are using the terms as Socci is using it in his book. Meaning that the 3rd Secret released in the year 2000 was incomplete as the Vatican did not release the words of Our Lady, which starts after the 2nd Secret "in Portugal the dogma of the faith will be preserved, etc.", thus it is the missing words represented by the "etc." is what Socci and other refer to the "Fourth Secret". In reality it is still part of the 3rd Secret.
