In humble truth such was the condition of Holy Mother Church in the 1930's. Pius XI refused to hear Our Lady's voice and the Second World War began in Spain during his pontificate. Since then the apocalyptic forebodings of Our Lady of Fatima have become reality: Some 30 years of relative peace for the Catholic world ensued (1945 - 1978) until the last efforts of Catholic Restoration were crushed with the brave martyrdom of Pope John Paul I.
The Triumph of the Immaculate can only be the Victory of Christ the King: In effect, the Second Coming of Our Lord in power and glory. Such is the prophecy of Fatima and the Will of Heaven. That this must inconvenience us is the price we must pay for being now among the living. We are receiving and will receive the greatest glories of any generation among mortals, but comfort and convenience are not to be included among our special privileges.
The Catholic Church has not defected, but is rather now like an emerging butterfly from what was something like a caterpillar before Vatican Two. Only those with pure eyes can recognise her in her new-found Roman Glory. The divine punishments of the People of God have very largely come and gone and can no longer be averted. Instead the Catholic Nationalists and their holy warriors must emerge and prove victorious over this world.
Catholics must now, so to speak, light their candles, close their drapes and let the Divine Wrath pass harmlessly over their blessed homes. For the true Catholics, not a hair on our heads will be truly harmed. As for the rest, the Outer Darkness has already overtaken them.
Such is the Message of Fatima in this our 21st Century
