Archbishop Vigano goes there:
The third part of the Secret – often called the Third Secret – was to be given to the Pope, who was then asked by Our Lady to make it known to the world not later than 1960.
The first and the second parts of the Secret show a vision of hell, speak about the spread of the “errors” of Russia, the need for penance, and for Russia to be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The third part as it has been published shows a Pope who is being killed on a hill, together with clergymen and laity.
“With this departure from the Queen of Heaven’s message,” Viganò continues, “a cover-up operation was initiated, evidently because the content of the message would reveal the terrible conspiracy of her enemies against the Church of Christ.”
According to the archbishop, until a “few decades ago,” people would not have believed that we could even dare to “gag” the Blessed Mother, “but in recent years we have also seen attempts to censor the Gospel itself, which is the Word of His divine Son.”
The Italian prelate states that the Vatican, when officially presenting the Third Secret to the public in 2000, presented an “incomplete” version.
He says:
“In 2000, during the Pontificate of John Paul II, the Secretary of State, Cardinal Sodano, presented as his Third Secret a version of himself that, in relation to some elements, appeared clearly incomplete. It is not surprising that the new Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone, tried to divert attention on an event of the past, in order to make believe to the people of God that the words of the Virgin had nothing to do with the crisis of the Church and with the collusion between Modernists and Freemasonry carried out behind the scenes of Vatican II.”
Archbishop Viganò is referring then to the Italian journalist and author Antonio Socci, “who has thoroughly investigated the Third Secret, [and] has unmasked this malicious behavior on the part of Cardinal Bertone.”
Socci published in 2006 (in English in 2009) his book The Fourth Secret of Fatima, in which he argues that the Vatican did not publish the full Third Secret as it had been given to the shepherd children in Fatima in 1917. According to his research, the Vatican only published the vision of the secret which was then further explained by Our Lady. These words explaining the vision are still missing, according to this author.
Archbishop Viganò, in his new interview, seems to follow this line of argument. He also insists that the full consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary – as it had been requested by Our Lady of Fatima – has not taken place, either.
Go here to read the rest. No, PopeWatch will not go into this briar patch.
This kind of speculation and conspiracy theory nonsense detracts from Archbishop Vigano’s credibility. 🙁 Jorge Bergoglio is a heretic. We don’t need this kind of stuff to be convinced of that.
It is weird how quickly Vigano went nuts. Has the Vatican managed to put something in his water?
Who would have been hurt if Russia would have been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
If Pope Francis has excommunicated himself, then his Masses are valid, but illicit. Pope Francis’ reception of the Holy Eucharist while he has excommunicated himself is sacrilegious.
I’m guessing the issue is the private revelation thing. It’s one thing if the Pope wants to write a new prayer to be said after every Mass, but it’s another thing when a nun is saying that the Blessed Mother wants Russia consecrated to her immaculate heart.

The apparition of Our Lady of Fatima is approved by the Church. If Our Lady asked for a Church to be built in Russia, then Lenin would have fallen over himself to build the church. Not.
At Medjugore, the apparition still not approved by the Church after no less than three investigations tells 25,000 young people that Mary’s birthday is not September 8 to coincide with the Immaculate Conception December 8. The apparition tells the people Mary’s true birthday is August 5th and 25,000 young people come to celebrate.
Where is the harm in consecrating Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and opening the cathedrals turned into warehouses back into God’s house?
At Fatima, Mary foretold a third World War of unimaginable proportions.
Mary also showed the three children hell. They said that would have died and fallen into hell but for the hand of Mary holding them safe.
Mary predicted the assassination of the Shepherd in white.
Mary told of the corruption in the Church.
St. John Paul II told the American bishops: “One crime and they are OUT.” Did the bishops listen? The bishops said that it cost $249,000.00 to educate a priest and that that was too much money to waste.
My diocese is bankrupt. How about yours?
It would have been nice to have Russia truly on our side in the upcoming third World War.
