Questioning the Experts Part 2 Father Schweigl

During an audience in October 1951 regarding the consecration of Russia Sister Lucy asked Father Wetter, S.J. "Are you able to pass on to the Holy Father the message that what Our Lady of Fatima requested has not yet been done?" The Father said yes. (#1p.323)

On September 2, 1952 Father Schweigl with the permission of Pius XII interrogated Sister Lucy. It wasn't however until Vatican II in the early 1960's that Father Schweigl described in text form how he had received permission from Pius XII to speak to Sister Lucy about 31 questions concerning the conversion of Russia. (#1p.337)

When he returned to the Vatican after meeting with Sister Lucy, Father Schweigl said, "I cannot reveal anything of what I learned at Fatima concerning the Third Secret, but I can say that it has two parts: one concerns the Pope; the other logically (although I must say nothing) would have to be continuation of the words: "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved etc " (#3p.167) Was his mission about the third secret or Russia? Fr Schweigl statement is very important because it has been used to help verify the assumption that the third secret is composed of two separate letters.

Father Schweigl visited with Sister Lucy and then mentions the third secret upon his return and he is considered an authority on Fatima. In fact according to Mark Fellows, author and Fatima expert he is one of the few persons to have ever read the Third Secret.(#2 p122) This statement has to be considered very doubtful for the the following reasons:

Father Schweigl did not read the third secret. When Fr Schweigl went to Portugal in 1952, the third secret had been sealed away by Bishop da Silva since 1944.

Sister Lucy did not tell Father Schweigl the third secret. In 1957 Sister Lucy told Father Fuentes, "I am not able to give any detail because it is still secret. According to the will of the Most Holy Virgin, only the Holy Father and the Bishop of Fatima are permitted to know the secret, but they have chosen to not know it so that they would not be influenced."

Sister Lucy did not trust the Vatican. She told Fr Fuentes in 1957 about the faithful being abandoned by their leaders. (#2p.145)

It is extremely possible that during the interrogation of Sister Lucy she did confirm to Father Schweigl that part of the Third Secret concerned the Pope and it was therefore assumed that the other part was about dogma and faith as written in 1941.

Questioning the Experts Part 1 The Fourth Memoir

In late 1941 Sister Lucy wrote at the end of her Fourth Memoir, "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved etc." Most Fatima experts assume that these were the first words of the third secret. (#1p.35)

It wasn't until September 1943 two years later that Sister Lucy was commanded by Bishop da Silva to write the third secret. She had no intention of revealing the secret on paper and we also know that it was very difficult for her to accomplish. In fact it wasn't until January 2, 1944 when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Lucy that she had the strength and courage to write the final part of the secret. She informed the Bishop on the 9th of January that her tasked had been completed. (#3p.27)

It is hard to visualize that Sister Lucy had the first part of the third secret written in 1941 but then had difficulty completing it in 1943-44. To say that "In Portugal . . . is the beginning sentence of the secret is very questionable.

Have We Been Warned Enough?

Over 350 years ago at Quito, Ecuador, Our Lady of Good Success prophesied at the end of the 19th Century and especially in the 20th Century that Satan would reign almost completely by means of the Masonic sect. (5) Twelve Popes issued no less than twenty-three separate condemnations of Freemasonry because it rejected Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church. John Salza, a former 32nd degree Mason, in his speech at the Fatima Challenge in May 2010 summarized Masonry as a rejection of God-made-man and the exaltation of man-made-god. A rejection of the supernatural and exaltation of the natural. (3-p57)

Satan used Arturo de Oliveira, also known as the Tinsmith, mayor of a community near Fatima and a baptized Catholic, to begin his assault on Fatima. The fascinating stories about the three seers of Fatima were beginning to impede the Tinsmith's progress as a Mason. He kidnapped the children on August 13, 1917 and threatened them with death if they did not tell him the secret. The secret was not revealed and they were jailed on the 14th and then release on August 15th. The successful abduction of the three children forced them to miss their planned August 13th meeting with Our Lady.

One can only speculate how many actions and decisions regarding Fatima were influenced by Free Masons. Pius XI would not respond to a message from God and the world suffered through World War II. Pius XII, 'the Fatima Pope', did not invite Lucy to the Vatican even though she begged. This is a great mystery. John XXIII silenced Lucy, threw the third secret into a dark hole and said 'don't mention Fatima to me'. Paul VI told Sister Lucy 'see your own bishop'. It seems unbelievable that Sister Lucy chosen by God to spread the devotion of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the only person to foretell the greatest public miracle in history three months in advance would be ignored by these Popes. John Paul II met with Lucy on a few occasions and wanted her to negotiate with God for him. The current Pope Benedict XVI believes like Father Dhanis, a strong critic of Fatima, that Lucy was inclined to "unconscious inventions" and "certain psychological defects". Only a modernist would imply that God made a mistake in choosing Lucy. By order of the Popes, starting in 1958 and lasting her entire life, Lucy was restricted to very few visitors and never allowed to speak freely about Fatima. All of these Popes were baptized Catholic just like the Tinsmith. Is there any difference? John Paul I said if he lived long enough he would return to Fatima and consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. His Pontificate lasted thirty-three days before it is speculated he was murdered by Free Masons. (6-p122 & p18)

Benedict XVI met with Moishe Smith, president of the International Jewish Masonic organization B'nai B'rith on February 12, 2010. This was not the first meeting. On December 18, 2006 112 members of the Masonic organization were greeted by the Pope with these words: "I have the pleasure to greet this delegation of B'nai B'rith International on its visit to the Vatican. It marks the spirit of understanding, respect and mutual esteem that has grown between our two communities."(2)

It is strange that an organization that is an enemy of Jesus Christ gets an audience with the Pope while a Catholic priest such as Father Gruner of the Fatima Center cannot get close to the Vatican. He has tried to meet with this current Pope to urge him to release the third secret and to make sure he completely understands the message of Fatima and the danger he is putting the world in by not consecrating Russian to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Vatican is not pleased with the fact that The Center has kept Fatima alive and without their efforts the message would be history. The late Monsignor Mario Marini who worked for nearly forty years at the Vatican told Father Paul Kramer author and expert on Fatima that "Our hands are tied; we can do nothing because it is Masons who occupy the key positions." (4-p38)

There are names of hundreds of Vatican officials and other leaders of the Church who are or have been Freemasons and perhaps thousands around the world whose names are not known. Many have worked against Fatima because they do not believe in the supernatural and as prophesied by the future Pius XII in 1931, believe that man has become god. Here are five with their Masonic numbers and names:

Annibale Bugnini (#1365-75 code name BUAN) who wrote the Novus Ordo new service.
Cardinal Agostino Casaroli (#41-076 CASA) Secretary of State under John Paul II
Cardinal Jean Villot (JEANNI, ZURIGO) Secreatry of State during Paul VI
Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio (#85-1640 SEBA) Also Secretary of State under John Paul II and Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Bishops who appoint new bishops.
Virgillio Noe (#43652-21 VINO) Head of the Sacred Congregation of Divine Worship. He and Bugnini paid five Protestant Ministers and one Jewish Rabbi to help create the Novus Ordo service. (7)


Sister Lucy warned us when she spoke to Father Fuentes in 1957: "That which afflicts the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus is the fall of religious and priestly souls. The devil knows that religious and priests who fall away from their beautiful vocation drag numerous souls to hell. . . . The devil wishes to take possession of consecrated souls. He tries to corrupt them in order to lull to sleep the souls of laypeople and thereby lead them to final impenitence."(6-p145)

Sister Catherine of Sienna is one of two woman with title of Doctor of the Church. Perhaps it is time to heed her grave warnings. She told us that a Pope who falsifies his function will go to Hell; and furthermore, that those who obey him will go there with him. (1-p.66)

Is This The Authentic Third Secret?

Was a second copy of the Secret of Fatima written by Sister Lucy in 1944 and kept by Bishop da Silva and then given in custody to the Franciscan Capuchin order in Portugal? If so, is this a copy of the true third secret that John XXIII refused to announce in 1960? The secret is in bold print with comments in regular type.

The secret:

Now I am going to reveal the third fragment of the secret. This part is the apostasy in the Church.

Comments: Both Cardinal Oddi (1990) and Cardinal Ciappi (1995) had access to the contents of the secret and said it alerted us against the apostasy in the Church.(1-p141)

In 1984 Cardinal Ratzinger was quoted as saying in a Jesus magazine article: "But the things contained in this "Third Secret" correspond to what has been announced in Scripture and has been said again and again in many other Marian apparitions..." (1-p140) Perhaps he was referring to the message of Our Lady of La Salette which said, "Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist." Maybe the Cardinal was thinking of Luke 18:8- "But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?"

Our Lady showed us the individual who I describe as the 'holy Father' in front of a multitude that was cheering him. But there was a difference from a true holy Father, his devilish gaze, this one had the gaze of evil.

Comment: Father Schweigl received permission in 1952 to interrogate Sister Lucy and later would only say that the secret contained two parts; one about the Pope and confirmed that the other part was about Portugal and the dogma which had already been indicated in writing by Sister Lucy in 1941.(1-p139) He never had access to the third secret.

Then, after some moments we saw the same Pope entering a Church, but this Church was the Church of hell; there is no way to describe the ugliness of that place. It looked like a gray cement fortress with broken angles and windows similar to eyes; it had beak in the roof of the building.

Comments: The physical ugliness of many modern Churches is very evident.

When one looks inside a Church
one sees the results of the past fifty years.

The future Pius XII astonishing 1931 prophecy about a coming upheaval in the Church: "I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul.... I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past." He then said in answer to an objection, "A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him'?" (2-p34)

Joseph Gelineau, S.J. one of the members of Archbishop Bugnini's Consilium that composed the new Novus Ordo service, spoke of the Roman liturgy saying ". . . the Roman Rite as we knew it no longer exist. It has been destroyed." (3-p12) Msgr. Bugnini himself declared, "The liturgical reform is a major conquest of the Catholic Church." (3-p25).

On June 30, 1972 Paul VI said, "From somewhere or other the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God."(2-p.63). Your Holiness may we ask who left him in and why hasn't he left?

Next, we raised our eyes to Our Lady who said to us: You saw the apostasy in the Church; the letter can be opened by the holy Father, but it must be announced after Pius XII and before 1960

Comment: Bishop da Silva enclosed (the envelope sealed by Lucy) in another envelope on which he indicated that the letter had to be opened in 1960 by himself, Bishop Jose Correia de Silva, if he was still alive, or if not, by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon.(2-p30) At the beginning of 1957 the Holy Office requested copies of all Lucy's writings, "Especially the Secret." (6-p143)

In the kingdom of John Paul II the cornerstone of Peter's grave must be removed and transferred to Fatima.

Comments: In the past there have been statements and clues regarding the contents of the third secret. The idea of moving the power of the Church to Fatima is a brand new concept never mentioned in previous observations.

In March of 2004 the Rector of the Fatima Sanctuary received a fragment of the tomb of the Apostle St Peter from the hands of John Paul II so that it might become the corner stone for the new Sanctuary Church.(4) Why did John Paul II do this? Did he wake up one day with the a fresh new idea to send the cornerstone of Peter to Fatima? Slim chance. It seems logical to conclude that he did it to obey the command of Our Lady of Fatima.

Because
the dogma of the faith is not conserved in Rome, its authority will be removed and delivered to Fatima.

Comment: This is what Sister Lucy meant in 1941 when at the end of
her fourth Memoir she wrote "In Portugal the dogma of the faith shall always be preserved, etc."

The cathedral of Rome must be destroyed and a new one built in Fatima.

Comments: In Germany in 1820 Blessed Anna Emmerich, a stigmatist saw a vision, ". . . the Church of St. Peter in ruins. . . the Catholic religion fell into complete decadence as everything pertaining to Protestantism gained the upper hand." (5-p165)

On May 13, 1917 Our Lady came to Fatima and answered Lucy by saying, "I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the thirteenth day, at this same hour. Later I will tell you who I am and what I want. Afterwards, I will return here yet a seventh time."* (6-p.7). We still await her return.

On May 13, 2010 Benedict XVI said: "Whoever thinks that the prophetic mission of Fatima is over, is deceived." (7)

If 69 weeks after this order is announced, Rome continues its abomination, the city will be destroyed.

Comment: Who announced the secret? Who has the authority? Does the 69 weeks start on April 21, 2010?

Cardinal Ratzinger in 1984 wrote: "If it (the secret) is not made public --- at least for the time being --- it is in order to prevent religious prophecy from being mistaken for a quest for the sensational." (1-p140)

Our Lady told us that this is written, (in) Daniel 9:24-25 and Matthew 21:42-44

Daniel 9: 24-25: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everything righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

Matthew 21:42-44: Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

The date:

Comments: The exact date that Sister Lucy wrote the secret is unknown. However, we know with almost complete certainty that it was written between January 2, 1944 the time of an apparition from Our Lady and January 9, 1944 when Sister Lucy wrote Bishop da Silva that the message had been written and sealed in an envelope. The Bishop received the secret on June 17, 1944. (8-p46-49)

The date on the secret reads 1/4/1944 which would normally be read January 4, 1944. However, Sister Lucy always wrote the date European style with the day first then the month and year. This would mean the date on the secret is April 1, 1944.
Since this is not the date of the original secret then it is possible this is a forgery.

_____________________

Action Plan: If Forensic reports continue to indicate "a very high possibility" of it being authentic that Sister Lucy wrote this letter the following should be done:

Take out a large ad in the Rome or Vatican paper address to the Pope stating this secret and ask one question: Your Holiness, is this the third secret of Fatima ? Yes or No!

* In The True Story of Fatima the author Father John de Marchi, I.M.C. regarding the The Seventh Apparition writes that it can be said with certainty that the apparition did take place. It occurred June 18, 1921, Lucia's last day in Aljustrel before leaving for the convent school at Vilar. That evening, having left her home, and paying a last visit to the Cova da Iria, she is said to have seen our Lady standing at a spot now occupied by the lower steps of the basilica.

I wrote Sister Lucia about this, but have not received a reply. I have, however, been assured by a priest very close to Lucia that she has confirmed the happening. J.D.

A foot note added to "Sister Lucia Memoirs" suggests that this predicted seventh time might have taken place on the morning of June 16, 1921, when Sister Lucia went back to the Cove to bid farewell to Fatima in her way to the convent. This would have been one more of the many personal visits of Our Lady to Sister Lucia. However, this theory seems contradicted by Sister Lucia's own words in her manuscripts from her Spanish convent. "After six years of real trial (since 1917) it was on this day August 26, 1923 that the Virgin Mary first visited me again." According to this, Our Lady did not appear to her at Cove in 1921.

Why 1960?

In 1955 Cardinal Ottaviani asked Sister Lucy why the secret was not to be opened before 1960. She told him, "because then it will be clearer" and added "because the Blessed Virgin wishes it so."

On January 25, 1959 John XXIII shocked the Sacred College of Cardinals by announcing a 'divinely inspired' council to give the world an example of peace and concord among men.(1-p2)

Later that same year on August 17, 1959 John XXIII read the third secret of Fatima and instructed his personal secretary to write on the envelope "I leave it to others to comment or decide." It was announced on February 8, 1960 through reliable Vatican circles, that it is most likely that the letter will never be opened, in which Sister Lucy wrote down the words which Our Lady confided as a secret to the three little shepherds in the Cova da Iria.(2-p242) The Pope disobeyed the wishes of the Mother of God which has resulted in a moral decay in the world that continues to grow daily.

On October 11, 1962 John XXIII opens Vatican II a Council that was different from its predecessors because it was to be "pastoral" in nature, and promulgating no infallible doctrinal or moral teaching binding upon the Church. (1-p4) During the Council Fatima was ignored and Mother of God barely survived being thrown out of the Church of Her Son.

On April 23, 1966, exactly 1290 days from the opening of the Council, during his homily Paul VI presented a different picture of the Council by saying, "But now the conciliar doctrines must be seen as belonging to the
magisterium (official teaching) of the Church and indeed be attributed to the breathe of the Holy Spirit." After the fact the purpose of the Council changes.

Sacred Scripture tells us, And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (Daniel 12:12) Please Note: 10/11/1962 + 1,335 = 06/6/1966
