The untold secrets of the Fatima consecration of Russia by Pope John Paul II
Summary
In the wake of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the whole wide world is confused, but it also brings up Fatima back into attention. From 1917, Our Lady of Fatima promised that if Russia was converted, it would be the source of salvation for the world, the re-Christianization of the world. Not only that, she also said that if it wasn t consecrated to her Immaculate Heart, as she requested, that it would spread its errors throughout the world and spread its error, and that when it was done late, and it would convert, that is, and a period of peace will be given to the world

John Paul was very stern and said, take the statue, go back.
00:00:11.280
And he said, I traveled back to Portugal with the statue sitting on my chair with the seatbelt
00:00:23.180
And this is where we get to my, I have a simple thesis on this.
00:00:29.940
Which is, do we need to know whether the consecration has been done or not?
00:00:41.920
But what everyone can agree on is the consecration hasn't been done exactly like Our Lady requested.
00:00:58.940
With the Russia-Ukraine conflict right now, the whole wide world is confused.
00:01:05.820
But it also brings up Fatima back into attention.
00:01:09.400
From 1917, Our Lady promised that if Russia was converted, it would be the source of salvation
00:01:19.260
for the world, the re-Christianization of the world.
00:01:21.940
Not only that, she promised that if it wasn't consecrated to her Immaculate Heart, as she
00:01:27.380
requested, that it would also be the instrument of punishment for the world, and it would spread
00:01:34.040
That when it was done, and it would be done late, it would convert.
00:01:42.160
And a period of peace will be given to the world.
00:01:44.480
So the key to peace right now is all to do with Fatima and the consecration of Russia.
00:01:50.060
There is probably no one on earth more poised to talk about this than our next guest.
00:02:02.460
But the story of his that is so important right now for the world is his story about his work
00:02:13.540
He's interviewed Sister Lucia, interviewed her spiritual director, interviewed all sorts
00:02:18.700
of people in preparation of a key documentary that he's putting together.
00:02:23.280
Not only has he interviewed Sister Lucia herself, but also he's been to Russia a few times, met
00:02:31.280
with all sorts of very important, high-ranking bishops there.
00:02:35.640
Bishop Tikhon, Archbishop Hilarion, and also been in the palace of, or the chapel of even,
00:02:47.460
Also met with very high-ranking members of the government there, Putin's secretary, in
00:02:58.720
And it's going to be incredible about not only the third secret of Fatima, also about
00:03:04.820
the need for the consecration of Russia from a perspective you will not have heard of.
00:03:38.740
Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:03:40.680
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
00:03:50.600
It's a grace for me to be bringing you Charles Martin.
00:03:54.960
Charles is a great guy who I met in Rome, and it was really neat.
00:03:59.880
I remember sitting with him in a cafe in Rome where he described his family and what he's
00:04:05.120
been doing, and I was stunned with 10 children and an incredible history of both life and
00:04:15.300
And then working with Mel Gibson, Jim Caviezel, and all these great stars.
00:04:20.620
Charles, if you could start off with that, tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:04:31.460
I got out of law and then into business in 1996, but those sort of skills don't leave you.
00:04:38.660
And I started down this track many years ago, and I went to Fatima for a trip of Thanksgiving
00:04:49.800
for something that happened with our family, and that was in 2000.
00:04:56.160
And I asked the Virgin Mary, the Blessed Virgin Mary, if she'd like me to use my skills for her.
00:05:04.340
And anyhow, she gave me enough, what I think, incontrovertible signs to start down this track.
00:05:13.420
So I had the privilege to meet Sister Lucia back in 2004.
00:05:20.820
But before that, I'd met Mr Gibson, and I was on the very periphery of the film.
00:05:28.500
And I was lucky enough to be on set for a number of times.
00:05:34.340
He's an extraordinary filmmaker, and Jim is an extraordinary actor.
00:05:39.200
What they did for the world with that movie is just incredible.
00:05:44.680
So I actually showed Sister Lucia the movie, The Passion of the Christ, on behalf of Mel.
00:06:03.640
When I went in to meet with her, the priest said to me,
00:06:11.560
And I've been brought up to follow the directions of a priest.
00:06:19.840
There she was, standing across the bars from me.
00:06:24.080
And I couldn't ask her about this consecration.
00:06:31.780
Now, this is the priest who's with Sister Lucia
00:06:34.700
telling you not to ask about the consecration of Russia.
00:06:44.560
Look, first of all, I thought, you know, he doesn't...
00:07:09.180
You know, the church said that in 1981 they did a consecration.
00:07:14.780
And then someone went to Sister Lucia and she said,
00:07:19.700
So they then did the consecration on the 25th of March, 2000...
00:07:27.900
And anyhow, after meeting Sister Lucia, showing the film,
00:07:37.220
and there's some more things that happened while we showed the film,
00:07:40.880
but I'll keep that for the documentary that's coming out.
00:07:47.680
After that, I did an interview with Father Condor,
00:07:52.840
And I've got a two-hour interview done in 2004 on the 25th of March,
00:08:04.460
In fact, in the interview, he says, he looks at his watch and he said,
00:08:08.440
right now, at this particular time, I was in Rome at the consecration.
00:08:17.620
He was asked to come back to one of the upper rooms in St. Peter's.
00:08:22.180
And he said, I was there with a group of cardinals.
00:08:27.400
And Pope John Paul said, has the consecration been done?
00:08:36.780
So this is after Pope John Paul II has done the consecration of the world in 84,
00:08:45.100
and then he's meeting with a group of cardinals after he's already done it?
00:08:54.680
They go back into, and I'm presuming it's the room where the Pope comes out after he's elected,
00:09:02.220
He doesn't specifically say, but he says he's in the room with the Holy Father
00:09:10.060
And the Holy Father says, has the consecration been done?
00:09:13.620
And they all look at him, and he puts his hands up and says, you know,
00:09:18.420
I don't know, I haven't got the ESP with Sister Lucere.
00:09:21.820
And he said, John Paul was very stern and said, take the statue, go back.
00:09:28.440
And he said, I travelled back to Portugal with the statue sitting on my chair,
00:09:33.560
with the seatbelt around Our Lady of Fatima's statue.
00:09:40.380
And this is where we get to my, I have a simple thesis on this,
00:09:46.820
which is, do we need to know whether the consecration has been done or not?
00:09:58.620
But what everyone can agree on is that consecration hasn't been done exactly
00:10:12.080
And Cardinal Bertone says that he had this discussion.
00:10:16.520
But this is on tape from the man who actually asked Sister Lucere.
00:10:21.820
And he said, and I was very specific, because in my former life,
00:10:25.500
I was a trial lawyer, and you watch the subtext, you watch the reactions,
00:10:33.580
Well, he said, I sat in front of Sister Lucere, and I said,
00:10:41.620
And she looked at me and answered, heaven has accepted the consecration.
00:10:48.080
And I said to Father, Father, look, I'm a bit of a different mix.
00:10:58.720
And I said, I look for subtext, and there's subtext in that answer.
00:11:04.940
I said, you asked her a yes or no question, right?
00:11:15.500
But no, she chooses heaven has accepted the consecration.
00:11:19.780
And so, implicit in that, I said to him, I believe she's saying, it hasn't been done
00:11:29.260
exactly like I asked, but heaven has accepted the consecration.
00:11:34.340
Now, if it hasn't been done exactly like she asked, what are the consequences?
00:11:39.960
And everyone's saying, everyone who says consecration's been done, let's forget about it.
00:11:46.220
Let's come back to the consequences in just a second.
00:11:52.200
I think this is some of the first time people are hearing this information.
00:12:00.440
If I can just tell you this, I have sat on this information not knowing when to release it
00:12:08.480
But the interview with Father Congor is incredible.
00:12:20.760
And we have to get the consecration done exactly like she asked.
00:12:28.340
But this is mind-blowing information because that part of the story, it's not told.
00:12:36.700
That John Paul II, after he did the consecration in 84, the one that everybody says in the documents
00:12:43.400
from 2000, Vatican says it was done, it was done, it was done.
00:12:51.700
He went to a room full of cardinals and Father Congor, who is the spiritual director for Sister
00:13:00.960
And then when he can't really answer, sends him back with the statue on a plane right to
00:13:07.280
Portugal to Sister Lucia, and then says, please ask her.
00:13:12.120
Then he goes in to ask, and it happens as you related.
00:13:15.900
He asks her this question, very much a yes or no.
00:13:21.520
So, as you picked up, I would say miraculously, but you were set up for that job.
00:13:31.340
I'm sorry, I needed to just get that incredible news.
00:13:39.320
I'd heard it said, and it was all hearsay, John Paul was asking on the day, why can't
00:13:49.740
And you hear all these, who's the man that will be able to answer that?
00:13:54.680
It's Cardinal Chivich, his private secretary at the time.
00:14:11.280
And I approached his office, and they told me, go get nicked.
00:14:16.300
And then I met a young man at a traditional Latin mass who spoke perfect English and Polish.
00:14:27.100
And finally, and I just, I didn't have a flight time out of there.
00:14:31.580
I was going to wait until I got this interview.
00:14:34.240
And sure enough, then they told me that he will see me for five minutes.
00:14:42.680
And I got an interview with the translator, who was just stunned at the interview.
00:14:53.060
And he gave me not quite an hour, nearly an hour.
00:14:56.800
And I asked him the question, did Pope John Paul say, why can't I mention Russia on the day of the consecration?
00:15:04.120
And he looks at me, and he smiles, and he's ever the diplomat.
00:15:08.580
And he said, it sounds like something he would have said.
00:15:13.520
Now, you would like a church official to just say yes or no some of the time, wouldn't you?
00:15:20.540
But I think what he was saying is, of course, John Paul did say, why can't I mention Russia?
00:15:28.220
And there's a whole history behind why he couldn't mention Russia.
00:15:31.620
And it goes back to the beginning of the Second Vatican Council.
00:15:35.600
And I don't know, do you want to hear that reason?
00:15:41.060
And before the Second Vatican Council, Pope John XXIII requested members from the Russian Orthodox attend the Second Vatican Council.
00:15:57.340
And they were knocking him back, and he really desperately wanted to include the Orthodox, the Russian Orthodox, and other Orthodox churches at Second Vatican Council.
00:16:14.640
And it was on a town, and I've forgotten the name, but it's in my notes.
00:16:19.000
It's on a town on the border of France and Germany.
00:16:23.340
And anyhow, the KGB were in charge of the meeting.
00:16:29.220
They sent four representatives down there, and they were Russian Orthodox, but there was also, they're thought to be KGB members at the time, because they ruled Russia.
00:16:43.660
Now, Pope John sent his delegate, which was a cardinal called Montigny, and he was there negotiating with them, and they agreed to come to the Second Vatican Council.
00:16:59.920
But there was this proviso, nothing to be said about Russia, no mention of Russia, no criticism of the Communist Party, nothing to be said about Russia.
00:17:13.220
So he agrees to do it, and they send four delegates to the Vatican II, and that's a whole other story.
00:17:22.260
You know, until we can unpack what's going on with our church, we've got to know what happened at Vatican II.
00:17:29.420
But anyhow, they took out, and of course, through the course of Vatican II, Pope John dies, and they appoint the new Pope, Paul VI, and it's Cardinal Montigny.
00:17:42.320
And he's very aware that they can't mention Russia.
00:17:48.180
So there's this whole diplomatic protocol that exists in the Vatican right up until 1991, no mention, nothing adverse against Russia.
00:17:59.420
But of course, down comes communism, right, in 1991.
00:18:07.760
And I was here thinking, how do we get this consecration?
00:18:16.980
I've met some fantastic people, all the way up to one of the private secretaries of Mr. Putin, and just incredible people.
00:18:26.380
And the Russian people, I've got to say, I travel the world a lot, or I used to before COVID.
00:18:35.560
I had one chance to go into Libya, so I took it, and it was as scary as all hell.
00:18:40.940
I was going in there to look at their building.
00:18:45.440
And, you know, this whole business where we think of the Russian bear and they're, you know, they're just like us.
00:19:00.600
I met, who's now Bishop Tikhon, the Metropolitan for Moscow.
00:19:09.560
I haven't met Patriarch Kirill, but I did, on the day you and I met, later that afternoon, I did an interview with Bishop Schneider.
00:19:20.520
He is the most beautiful prelate you can ever meet, I think.
00:19:24.580
Anyhow, he does a plea as to why Russia should consecrate,
00:19:29.880
why Russia should be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to Patriarch Kirill.
00:19:43.700
So going back to the actual where Father Condor asked Sister Lucia,
00:19:53.840
And she answers, heaven has accepted the consecration.
00:19:57.580
And I then put this scenario, it's a yes or no answer.
00:20:01.520
Now, right at the beginning of my interview, I asked Father Condor about the appearance of Our Lady in Fatima on the 13th of August.
00:20:12.260
And they were taken by the Mayor, Turo, back to a neighbouring town and they were put in the council locker,
00:20:23.380
And the town folk of Fatima were outraged and they went and they were eventually released after, you know,
00:20:30.020
despicable things being said to the kids, boiling them in oil to, you know, tell them the story.
00:20:35.440
Anyway, they are down at the cover and it was on the 19th of February and a lady appeared to them in the cover.
00:20:47.920
And then she said, have you been here on the 13th of August, as I had requested, midday on the 13th of each month for the six months?
00:21:01.120
And anyway, had you been here, then the miracle of the 13th of October would have been far bigger, affected the hearts of all people, seen by more people, and shortened the length of the First World War.
00:21:29.500
So, the miracle that was already seen by 70,000 on October the 13th would have been bigger, seen by the whole world?
00:21:43.220
But the length of the First World War would have been shortened.
00:21:47.100
Had the consecration been done exactly like Our Lady Overs.
00:21:58.880
So, I needed independent proof of this alleged, you know, what Our Lady said on the 19th.
00:22:07.520
And I was with Bob Moynihan from the editor of Inside the Vatican at Front Royal over near Washington.
00:22:16.900
And we'd been to Mass and we came back and we're sitting down and we're talking about all things Fathom in a pancake shop.
00:22:25.160
Bob is a fascinating man who's doing so much to open.
00:22:29.060
And it was because of Bob that I got into Russia, you know, and his contacts in there are incredible.
00:22:38.460
Anyway, we were sitting there talking about Fatima.
00:22:43.680
And we finished our pancakes, walked outside and this lady came up and she said,
00:22:47.860
excuse me, in a very, you know, distinct New York accent, excuse me, I heard you talking about Fatima.
00:22:57.300
And she said, there is two books that I've got to recommend that say everything.
00:23:06.880
And she told me the name and I text them down and I sent them home to my wife to buy them.
00:23:27.940
But anyhow, I bought those books and it's a breakdown in every miracle.
00:23:32.100
And sure enough, you go to the 13th of August and here it is.
00:23:36.600
And it gives the time on the 19th and what Our Lady says.
00:23:43.440
But it doesn't say, and the First World War will be shortened.
00:23:55.600
Don't get brought up in asking whether or not it's been consecrated.
00:23:59.660
We know that the full graces flow if the consecration is done exactly like Our Lady asked.
00:24:08.560
We've got a war going on between Russia and Ukraine.
00:24:14.420
And the Pope actually dedicated his priesthood to Fatima.
00:24:30.100
We've got to do it exactly like Our Lady asked.
00:24:40.740
I think we can do a consecration to Russia and one to Ukraine.
00:24:52.280
Because that day we actually met in person for the first time was the day Cardinal Burke called for the consecration of Russia explicitly, as Our Lady desired.
00:25:03.560
Of course, then Bishop Schneider very enthusiastically signed on to that same request.
00:25:10.700
LifeSite launched a petition to the Holy Father to do that very thing.
00:25:15.240
And then now we have, think about what this is.
00:25:21.500
Ukraine is undergoing a massive war and tribulation from Russia.
00:25:26.300
And the bishops of Ukraine have appealed to the Holy Father to consecrate Russia.
00:25:33.680
But they have themselves asked for the consecration of Russia as Our Lady requested.
00:25:41.960
This is the opportunity like none other for the Pope to not only now heed the request of heaven, made in 1917,
00:25:54.640
but also now in the midst of calamity to answer the bishops who are speaking for the very people undergoing or suffering under this war.
00:26:04.380
So, John Henry, what is the promise Our Lady made when she said the consecration's done?
00:26:21.800
There's been something said in one of the books I read, the consecration will happen, but it will happen late.
00:26:29.000
And, look, I think any consecration is a good thing.
00:26:35.600
When I was in Russia, I got an invitation from the Patriarch Kirill to dine at his dining room in the seminary outside of Moscow.
00:26:49.580
And so we went there, and anyhow, and we're in that room, and I was with Bob and his invitees, and it just occurred to me,
00:27:01.520
we're in, and there was this just incredibly beautiful picture of Our Lady holding the infant Jesus.
00:27:12.280
But anyhow, I said, what about we do a consecration here?
00:27:21.480
And I thought, beauty, Bob will be able to lead this.
00:27:23.660
And he looks to me and says, well, Charles, you lead the consecration.
00:27:28.700
But we consecrated Russia in the dining room of Patriarch Kirill to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart, you know,
00:27:38.840
as best we could as individuals who fervently want peace.
00:27:44.420
And anyhow, I don't know that it would have any effect, but the Pope's got to do it.
00:27:50.620
My goodness, in this day and age, he could send an invitation to every bishop in the world.
00:27:57.840
And that was one of the reasons why the 81 consecration didn't work, is it wasn't done in unison with all the bishops of the world.
00:28:06.960
Every one of your listeners, if that invitation went out, they would petition their own bishop to say this.
00:28:17.100
We would, we could have the wording done in a millisecond, you know, that he would send out.
00:28:30.060
The thing is, it's a great opportunity for people right now.
00:28:34.100
The bishops of the world are all asking, what can we do?
00:28:37.480
Part of the synodal process is to hear from the faithful.
00:28:41.200
As we're asking for fidelity, as we're asking for the Latin Mass,
00:28:44.720
as we're asking for, you know, many, many things that the church is in need of.
00:28:49.060
One of the main things she needs is still the consecration of Russia by the Pope with all the world's bishops.
00:28:58.720
The bishops of Ukraine, who are suffering the most, they're asking for it.
00:29:02.560
Why not let's, in unison with them, ask our bishops, plead with the Pope to do this together with the bishops.
00:29:07.460
Pope Francis dedicated, as I understand, dedicated his papalcy to Our Lady of Fatima.
00:29:21.680
We consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in unison with the bishops of the world.
00:29:29.020
Let's not indulge in has it been done, hasn't it been done.
00:29:36.100
That's the meaning of the August appearance, I believe.
00:29:45.180
And it's the hardest of all evidence to find in the Fatima story.
00:29:56.140
And I truly believe you were given that by the Holy Spirit.
00:29:58.560
Not to say that you're not smart and put that all together yourself.
00:30:00.780
But the amazing thing is, Father Condor tells you the story about how Our Lady's wishes aren't fulfilled.
00:30:26.560
That they're there for the six months on the 13th.
00:30:33.600
Had it happened as she requested exactly, the graces would have been bigger.
00:30:38.760
But in that huge way of a shortening of the time of the First World War.
00:30:43.820
And now we fast forward to the consecration of Russia not happening exactly as she requested.
00:30:56.040
Because we were promised by Our Lady it will be done.
00:31:00.940
So did Our Lord when He appeared to Sister Lucy in 1933.
00:31:05.600
But the thing was, here we have Our Lady saying it will be done.
00:31:13.980
But also, when it's done, Russia will be converted and a period of peace will be given to the world.
00:31:20.500
And that's so fascinating because I think everyone can agree we've not seen peace since 1984 or any time because of the scourge of abortion.
00:31:34.980
But the scourge of abortion is just untold numbers of innocent children dying brutally.
00:31:43.440
Our Lady would never say there's peace in the world, even a small period of peace in the world, while that's all going on.
00:31:49.200
And so, in a way, there's an obvious answer to the question as well in terms of consequence.
00:31:55.440
But what will this do when this truly simple, as you said, act is fulfilled according to her exact wish, which we know will actually happen,
00:32:06.020
there'll be some incredible miracle of peace like we've never seen before.
00:32:10.880
John Henry also, the analogy of John Paul wanting to say that being prohibited from saying,
00:32:19.200
it's like the kids in jail, wanting to be there, Our Lady, but being prohibited from being there.
00:32:29.560
You know, and then if the grace is all flow, like obviously there was grace from that consecration because Russia, you know,
00:32:39.260
I grew up as a kid saying the prayer to St. Michael for the conversion of Russia at the end of Max.
00:32:45.220
And I remember as a young man, oh gosh, I don't think that'll ever happen.
00:32:51.740
And then suddenly, you know, Gorbachev gets in there and Perestroika and all the rest of it,
00:32:57.760
and it breaks down and it breaks down some years after that, after the consecration.
00:33:05.440
There are various people that say Reagan and President Reagan and Pope John Paul
00:33:11.020
were the two greatest influences in bringing down Russia, bringing down communism.
00:33:22.260
And it's so fascinating that also this connects back to the Second Vatican Council,
00:33:28.420
to Pope John XXIII, to the sort of deal, some call it Ostpolitik, to not to criticize Russia, communism at the time.
00:33:40.120
It provides an answer also to why some of the schema, the documents that they wrote before councils,
00:33:46.600
they were done also for the Second Vatican Council, they were all tossed out the door,
00:33:50.700
especially the condemnation of communism, which was a robust condemnation that was going to be used,
00:33:58.420
And so that provides an answer to so much, and here it is playing into the future now.
00:34:06.900
Archbishop Vigno wrote a beautiful article, and he said,
00:34:12.460
to understand Vatican II, and I'm paraphrasing here, and I apologize to you,
00:34:20.040
But he said, to understand Vatican II, you have to understand the innovators, right?
00:34:25.120
Who were the people bringing about the new mass after the council had started?
00:34:31.200
And then you get in and you start understanding who Monsignor Bugnini was.
00:34:37.360
And there's an incredible book that just really helped me.
00:34:42.780
It was the Ottaviani intervention, Cardinal Ottaviani.
00:34:47.280
And they came back to Paul VI and said the first iteration of the Novus Ordo was invalid.
00:34:56.020
And you sit back and go, well, who are these innovators that are changing their mass so that the first draft is invalid?
00:35:13.240
And we're being asked, the people who attend to a traditional Latin mass, we're being asked,
00:35:18.960
you've got to accept the Novus Ordo as part of the concession that we'll make to you.
00:35:26.700
Well, I'm happy to accept Vatican II once we have a proper analysis of it.
00:35:30.820
Like, I think the documents themselves aren't what a lot of people say they are.
00:35:38.180
I think it's the interpretation of Vatican II and how it's been implemented.
00:35:45.980
And people will sit back and wonder, you know, I go to a traditional Latin mass,
00:35:51.280
but I got caught one place and I thought, oh, well, I'll stand down the back of another sort.
00:35:56.280
But there was a sea of gray hair and our place, you know, it's just chock-a-block full of young kids.
00:36:03.500
There's something wrong throughout the world, John Henry.
00:36:07.920
There's one thing we have to address because this is very confusing.
00:36:12.160
You talked about Pope Francis having consecrated his papacy to Fatima, to Our Lady Fatima.
00:36:23.700
It's the most concerning situation with any Pope in the whole history of the world.
00:36:32.160
In fact, many people have said, and I agree totally, it would have been much more easier for the church
00:36:38.000
to have a Pope who had a few women on the side and some kids and things like that,
00:36:43.260
rather than the scandal of what looks exactly like heresy, the shutting down of masses during COVID,
00:36:49.840
the massive restrictions to the Latin Mass, and then the name-calling and so much that we've seen.
00:36:57.600
So how is it that you hold hope for Pope Francis still?
00:37:02.280
Look, he said at the start of his pontificate, I'm going to mess things up.
00:37:12.160
Now, he also said that if you want to understand my pontificate, read Robert Hugh Benson's Lord of the World.
00:37:30.260
But we have to get to this situation where we consecrate Russia.
00:37:36.620
You know, a lot of my friends hold that he's a heretic and he's not a Pope.
00:37:40.200
And I believe that he's done some terrible things for our church.
00:37:48.080
But in the end, you know, we're not the master strategist here.
00:37:55.900
I recently had a chat to my bishop and he'd never heard of St. Dom Bosco,
00:38:01.160
his dream where the ship is steering between Mary and the Eucharist.
00:38:11.040
And the Russian Orthodox have valid sacraments, you know.
00:38:14.700
And I had a friend who he's been very instrumental in assisting me in Russia.
00:38:23.460
And he came to Rome and I waited and waited and I couldn't stay with him.
00:38:27.600
But anyhow, he went straight in to see Pope Benedict.
00:38:34.460
And Pope Benedict reaffirmed, and this is two years ago,
00:38:39.320
so the last time I'd travelled, just before COVID.
00:38:42.700
So my friend from Russia flew in and he had a meeting with Pope Benedict.
00:38:50.120
And I'd waited six days and they wouldn't let me in to see him.
00:38:54.940
But anyhow, he went in and I had these questions for him.
00:38:58.240
And what he was able to elicit from Pope Benedict was,
00:39:03.100
Russia will be the reason for the re-Christianisation of the world.
00:39:09.780
And he also said, Fatima is still very relevant.
00:39:15.520
And I'm taking that to mean it hasn't played out yet.
00:39:18.420
He said, I think, in Rendsburg in 2010, this is Pope Benedict,
00:39:27.120
to understand Fatima is to, all you have to do is to look at Our Lady of Akita.
00:39:34.560
And Our Lady of Akita says, priest against priest, bishop against bishop,
00:39:41.020
There's turmoil and the corruption goes right up, right up into the Vatican.
00:39:47.680
And look, we still have, I did a wonderful interview with Christopher Ferreira.
00:39:56.900
And he is so knowledgeable about the explanatory note,
00:40:04.360
that there was a letter written by Sister Lucia.
00:40:08.600
Now, the Vatican were in denial that that even existed.
00:40:18.600
And anyway, it's just incredible that we haven't been able to get to that.
00:40:36.960
But I suspect it confirms exactly what Akita is saying,
00:40:44.580
Now, if you're the Vatican, why would you release that?
00:40:56.760
You keep that hidden and you try to suppress it.
00:41:09.600
And really, we've just got to do the consecration,
00:41:30.460
People are despondent about what he's doing to the mass,
00:41:36.800
I think we've got to peel back the layers of sect
00:41:40.500
in Vatican Council and find out if there was an illness in there,
00:41:46.660
if there was a design to destroy what's the source
00:41:57.260
no, no, no, we are living in the most incredible times.
00:42:00.900
Like, it's tough if you're in your Ukraine at the moment.
00:42:20.860
glory to God that high, and peace to men of goodwill.
00:42:25.440
Like, if we've got goodwill towards our fellow man,
00:42:30.180
And so I'm striving away, chipping away in my little world.
00:42:45.960
is the sister Lucia that I met the real sister Lucia?
00:42:52.820
I think when people are set on this is what definitely happened,
00:43:01.840
And the only way to explain that narrative is sister Lucia was replaced.
00:43:07.960
And I know there's pictures of sister Lucia's eyes
00:43:14.500
but it can easily be explained of the frailties of an ageing woman.
00:43:24.800
I had a projectionist who was of the Jewish faith.
00:43:34.400
but he went inside behind the cage to set up the film,
00:43:51.800
he received a charge of electricity that started
00:43:58.660
I've got a little interview with him where he speaks about sister Lucia.
00:44:07.940
And one thing about her is he's intellectually honest.
00:44:31.820
But you haven't done it exactly like our lady requested.
00:44:35.580
That was her next sentence that she should have said but didn't.
00:44:55.640
I've got some incredible interviews from throughout the world.
00:45:00.500
Scott Hahn did an interview on Our Lady on this particular subject that I'm focusing on.
00:45:11.300
You know, I really, I've got to stop everything else I'm doing and finish this documentary and get it out.
00:45:19.980
We are right at the time now where we're needing it like never before.
00:45:24.460
Charles, where can people get hold of you so that they know when your video is being released?
00:45:32.520
But where do people get hold of you or see what you're doing?
00:45:42.620
Wow, well, we will wait for the release then and we will publicize it everywhere.
00:45:52.100
They could write to you and you forward them on to me.
00:45:56.340
You know, there's people who have met Sister Lucia who have their own individual stories.
00:46:03.340
There's not many who've got their own individual stories that I'd love to hear from.
00:46:08.000
And that, you know, I'm happy for you to receive that.
00:46:13.560
What we're going to do as well is we're going to set up a LifeFunder, which is a fundraising platform
00:46:18.600
that LifeSite runs and to help you finish this documentary.
00:46:29.680
One of my troubles is, you know, it's cost a fortune to do what I've done.
00:46:49.520
I had a family accident on the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
00:46:55.960
And then you see, here's the Virgin Mary who is bathed in the sun, surrounded by the stars,
00:47:05.020
standing on the moon, comes straight out of the book of Apocalypse.
00:47:19.020
And I say to everyone, I say to all of your listeners who have doubts about the Virgin Mary and her role in salvific history,
00:47:36.980
And she will come somehow, someway flooding into your heart.
00:47:47.980
I think also Mel's film, if it comes with the resurrection, will be a catalyst.
00:47:56.760
Because really, John Henry, the reason we're facing all the turmoil that we're facing is people don't believe in God anymore.
00:48:05.640
They don't believe that Christ was the son of God and rose from the dead.
00:48:10.660
And, look, knowing Mel like I do, he will make an extraordinary film if he's permitted.
00:48:24.000
Because once you believe in Christ, there is no abortion.
00:48:28.900
Once you make that understanding, you know, there is no euthanasia.
00:48:37.140
And back to Fatima, where Our Lady said, unless the consecration is done, Russia will continue to spread her errors.
00:48:55.880
And cultural Marxism has spread from Russia all throughout the world, throughout the Western world.
00:49:08.640
I have to thank you for that because it explains what's happening in the world.
00:49:13.300
You know, where did all the breaches of the Catholic Church, our fundamental doctrines, where did they all begin?
00:49:23.840
They all began in the 1920s in Moscow after the Bolshevik Revolution.
00:49:31.860
And I have sent you some photographs of the churches that they're building over there.
00:49:38.760
And, you know, Putin, I don't think, is the man that the West would have you believe.
00:49:45.520
And I think, you know, war is a terrible thing and nothing can condone it.
00:49:51.760
But he is, he's trying to protect his own country.
00:50:00.940
Would Australia do the same if someone set up camp down in Tasmania?
00:50:05.960
Our mainland do the same against the state or even in New Zealand?
00:50:09.580
And, you know, if something happened, America did it with Cuba, didn't they?
00:50:30.260
But we have, I think, the moment of Fatima in a way that we never have before.
00:50:35.300
However, this is a thing that no bishop was willing to say until Cardinal Burke did in 2017.
00:50:44.920
And since then, even, apart from a few bishops who signed on with him, there's been virtual silence.
00:50:59.240
And all of a sudden now, we have the bishops of Ukraine, as they're suffering from Russia, begging the Holy Father for the consecration of Russia.
00:51:10.800
Thank you so much for being with us on this episode of the John Henry Weston Show.
00:51:20.180
And I've done an interview with you that will feature in the documentary, by the way.
00:51:31.740
We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms to continue to reach you.
00:51:39.740
We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms I'm going to explain in a minute.
00:51:43.740
But the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com, because there we will always be.
00:51:51.340
But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler and MeWe, and our videos can be found on Rumble as well.
00:51:58.420
We would love to see each of you on those platforms, too, as they are not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every single day.
00:52:07.300
More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter.
00:52:14.220
And we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when, we are removed from our current platform as well.
00:52:29.560
Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said before, to make it a regular habit to go directly to LifeSiteNews.com.
00:52:39.800
While all of these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going directly to our website means that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSiteNews reporting.
00:52:57.260
We founded this organization with the mission to be the life, family, and culture source for men and women who seek to know the truth.
00:53:05.400
We have established a track record of honest reports, and this will never stop, even with censorship happening around the globe.
00:53:15.280
Again, I'm encouraging you to join us on Parler, MeWe, Rumble, and on our email list.
00:53:21.740
You can find all the direct links in the description of this video.
00:53:25.880
May God bless you and keep you, and we are so thankful that you've chosen to follow and support LifeSiteNews.
00:53:33.160
I'm John Henry Weston, co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews.
