Yes, she did say the the Popes chair would become the seat of the antichrist..she never said to not recognize him as pope. We are not to follow his heresy and evil. Our Lady said, "The Pope will have much to suffer" because she new he would be in great error. She didn't say the man pretending to be pope would have much to suffer. She said The Pope. She also never mentioned illegitimate Popes..This Pope was chosen in the conclave. And yes by mostly cardinals who are in error. Also why sister Lucy and the zFatima children saw so may, bishops, Cardinals, priests, perhaps popes as well in hell. Our Lord will judge them. Again, "The Pope will have much to suffer". To not recognize bad Popes, Cardinals, bishops in their positions, is to really not recognize Rome at all. We recognize them. But are not obligated to follow their corrupt teachings and heresy that lead soils to hell. God will do that.we really have to pray to the Holy Ghost for clarity and grace in these confusing times.
Our Lady also said “the pope” (singular, 1 person) “will have much to suffer.” She didn’t say “the pope(S)” (ie plural, many).
So since Fatima, how many popes have we had? 10? Which pope (1 person) was she referring to? Not all 10. Only 1. So that means the following:
-Most popes since Fatima won’t suffer.
-Why won’t they suffer? I don’t know. Maybe because they didn’t fight for the Faith and were friends with evil men in Rome?
-This suffering pope might even be in the future.
-You don’t know which pope Our Lady was referring to. You can’t say they are ALL deserving of prayers, because Our Lady didn’t say that either.
