Fatimists Give Plea to EU in Strasbourg
European Parliament, Strasbourg, France
The latest newsletter from the Fatima Center has the following:
Strasbourg, October 24, 2012 — On October 23, 2012 Father Nicholas Gruner of the Fatima Center in Canada and Catholic attorney and author Christopher A. Ferrara of the United States appeared at the headquarters of the EU in Strasbourg, France to speak in support of a motion for a declaration by the EU Parliament calling upon Pope Benedict XVI to carry out the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The motion is being sponsored by two members of the Parliament of the European Union, the Honorable Mario Borghezio and the Honorable Lorenzo Fontana, who invited Father Gruner and Mr. Ferrara to speak in its support at the time of its official introduction.
The motion refers to the threat of “great danger at the present time to world peace and the serenity of all European peoples” and notes that “the Blessed Virgin Mary has promised a long period of prosperity and peace, if and only if, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia in a solemn and public manner, as precisely specified by Her in the Message of Fatima.”
The motion provides for a declaration by the EU Parliament formally requesting that “His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI… fulfill the will of the Queen of Heaven” by performing the Consecration in order to address European and world problems.
The above plea was made the day after Vatican News reported about the EU flag having Marian connections (see Vatican News: EU Flag is Marian). Those who do not believe that certain professed Catholics have a plan for Mary and the EU are in error. And this plan seems to be consistent with certain aspects of Bible prophecy (cf. Isaiah 10; Revelation 17 & 18; 2 Thessalonians 2).
Of course, it is Jesus, not Mary that the Europeans and everyone else needs, though the Pope of Rome seemed to suggest the opposite a few days ago (see Pope Says Turn to Mary–What About Jesus?).
While the Vatican does not currently agree with what the Fatimists want (and they tend to insult the Vatican and even their pope because of it, see Fatimists Take Shots Against Their Pontiff), the reality is that certain Catholics believe that world peace would be attained, not by the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His kingdom, but by prayers made to Mary for her intercession.
Notice what was supposed to have happened (presumably by now) if that consecration to Russia had not been done:
Notice the following from a July 15, 1946 interview that Catholic historian William Thomas Walsh held with Lúcia:
She…said more than once, and with deliberate emphasis: ‘What Our Lady wants is that the Pope and all the bishops in the world shall consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart on one special day. If this is done, she will convert Russia and there will be peace. If it is not done, the errors of Russia will spread through every country in the world.’
“Does this mean, in your opinion, that every country, without exception, will be overcome by Communism?”
‘Yes.‘
…May 2011, Bishop Fortunatus Lukanima claimed:
If Russia is consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and is converted, then a lot of things will, indeed, improve and there will be peace.
Some Fatimists, like Priest Nicholas Gruner, claim that if the consecration is ever done properly it would involve 5,000 bishops who would do a “prayer that would last anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes and that is all that would be required to achieve this goal of peace, harmony, prosperity, and goodwill. It would make everyone’s eternal salvation easier to achieve…”129 Yet, that position is not biblical as it is the return of Jesus, and not the consecration of Russia, which the Bible teaches would lead to that type of world (cf. Revelation 20:1-6; 22:3-5). (Thiel B. Fatima Shock! What the Vatican Does Not Want You to Know About Fatima, Dogmas of Mary, and Future Apparitions, 2nd edition. 2012, pp. 49-50)
The fact is the entire world did not get overcome by Communism, yet various Fatimists still hold to the belief that the consecration of Russia to Mary is what the world need. And there seem to be millions that agree to that to some degree.
Jesus, and not Mary, is who will bring about world peace. But if apparitions some claim to Mary become public, this may deceive almost everybody (cf. Matthew 24:24).
The fact that the Fatimists and others have already been working to get the EU to accept more and more about their view of “Mary” suggests that Marian heresies will likely influence Europe in the future, and perhaps the entire world. People with interest in Bible prophecy should pay attention to that and its ramifications.
