Here is attached the Declaration made by the four Bishops after the Consecration
of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on occasion of the Feast of Christ the
King at the end of our pilgrimage to Fatima.

Declaration on occasion of the Centenary
of the Apparitions of Our Lady in Fatima, Portugal

In the year 2017, both Church and world are in the grip of a crisis without precedent in all human history, a crisis recognized by many people but properly understood by very few, because the Catholic Church is the light of the world and it has been in darkness ever since the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
The crisis goes back at least 500 years when Martin Luther split Christendom with his false “Reformation,” making possible the organization 200 years later by Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ of the false religion of Liberalism, which exploded in the French Revolution of 1789, designed by its Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, to pull down throne and altar, and by its “rights of man” to replace the rights of God. So successful were Protestantism and Liberalism in remoulding the minds of man that despite the admirable rearguard action of the Church through the XIX century, in 1917, another 200 years later, there exploded in Russia the Communist Revolution which strove to abolish God altogether, and all trace of Him on earth.
.
However, just months before this gigantic step was taken in Russia towards the godless nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr, meant to take over the entire world for the selfsame enemies of God who had promoted Protestantism and fabricated Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ, God took action. Through His Mother appearing here at Fatima to three peasant children, God promised to His one true Church, the Catholic Church, a remedy by which His churchmen at any time that they chose from then on, could roll back the worldwide apostasy and obtain a period of peace for all mankind before world's end.
.
The double remedy presented by God's Mother through Sister Lucy of Fatima in the 1920's, was simple. All that the Catholic Pope had to do was to summon the bishops of the entire world to join him in consecrating Russia (not the world) to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. And all that the Catholic priests and laity had to do was on each first Saturday of the month to go to Confession, receive Communion, recite five of the fifteen Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, and meditate for 15 minutes on any of the fifteen Mysteries. Surely such actions are not too much to ask of Catholics, but ever since the 1920´s, the crisis of Church and world has grown only worse in the course of the century since Our Lady appeared to the children in Fatima.
.
Thus in the world, there broke out in 1939 the Second World War with its 66 million human casualties, and in the Church, far worse, there began in 1962 the Second Vatican Council with its thousands of millions of spiritual casualties, reaching from schizophrenic confusion to sheer loss of that Faith which alone can save souls for eternity. To oppose these disasters, in 1970 a true and great man of God, Archbishop Lefebvre, founded a classical Catholic Congregation to form true priests, but for several years now his own successors at the head of his Society of Saint Pius X have been making repeated attempts to submit all Society priests to the Concilarists' control. What a sad example of the corruption of modern man by Liberalism.
.
No doubt many Catholic Cardinals, bishops, priests and laity, coming from all quarters of the Catholic Church, but confused by the delinquency of the Conciliar Church authorities, have some inkling that Our Lady of Fatima was right, that Archbishop Lefebvre was right, and that Vatican II was wrong, but millions of Catholics are too paralyzed by false obedience to feel able to take action. However, the four Catholic bishops undersigned, declare themselves willing to help any such Catholics as best they can to keep the Faith, in particular to encourage them to heed Our Lady of Fatima by practising the devotion of the First Saturdays, and by striving for Russia's Consecration to her Immaculate Heart. Thus alone can Church and world be turned off their present disastrous track. Thus alone can her Beloved and Divine Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, be restored to His rightful place at the head of ALL NATIONS.

I took the liberty of making a few minor adjustments to the text, hoping that maybe someone might like to run off some copies for passing out at Mass tomorrow. It seems to me a lot of Catholics in the "wild" would appreciate finding out about this. Where, I would like to know, would anyone go to get a copy if not by the stack in the vestibule after Mass on Sunday?
.
Of course, you won't find any at CMRI, Boston KY, Sanborn's, or the Recusant's hideaway* venues.
All the more the reason. BTW some such priests have family members that frequent "other sites."
