The Last Pope!

D INTERVIEWWITH FATHER PAUL KRAMER 

“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres … churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.” So, here we see the combination, in an approved Marian apparition, of two elements: material catastrophe and spiritual catastrophe. We see apostasy in the Church — also predicted by Our Lady of Good Success — accompanied by a cataclysmic event that chastises the whole world. Now, as I just noted, Cardinal Ratzinger admitted to the former Philippine ambassador to the Vatican that the Message of Fatima and the Message of Akita are essentially the same. Yet neither of the first two parts of the Fatima Secret nor the vision of the Third Secret published in 2000 say what Our Lady said at Akita. In fact, we have no words of Our Lady at all attached to the Third Secret vision. We do see, however, flames descending toward earth from the hands of an avenging angel, and Our Lady turning back the flames as the angel cries “penance, penance, penance.” I note the parallel that the uppermost angel in the apparition of Our Lady of Knock brandished a sword. But will there come a time when Our Lady will no longer be able to turn back the consuming fire [and the sword] of Heaven’s vengeance? This, apparently, is what Our Lady of Akita warns in 1973, 56 years to the day after the Miracle of the Sun. Clearly, then, what makes the two apparitions — Fatima and Akita — “essentially the same” must be found in missing words of Our Lady of Fatima that correspond to those of Our Lady of Akita. These would have to be the same “words of the Virgin” that the Vatican suppressed in 1960, when it told the world that the Third Secret would not be revealed as everyone expected it would be. FC: That is pretty stunning. But what of the precise question of whether the chastisement will include a world war, among other calamities to befall the Church and the world? Father Kramer: Here we find some more pieces of the puzzle in Marian apparitions. I am referring to the messages of Our Lady to Sister Elena Aiello, who died in 1961. She was very renowned for the revelations that she received from Our Lady and was greatly esteemed by Pope Pius XII, even though perhaps many North Americans won’t have heard of her. Our Lady revealed to her that Russia would wage a sudden war, would overrun all of Europe. This, it would seem, is clearly what Pope John Paul II wanted to avoid by not divulging the Third Secret, as he said at Fulda, because it would encourage the communists to make certain moves — in other words, to wage war against the West. FC: But what of the objection that Russia no longer poses such a threat, now that “communism has fallen.” Father Kramer: If you read the Russian publications, as I do, you see that in Russia itself there’s no mystery as to what is taking place. We have a neo-Stalinist dictatorship taking shape, we have Russian journalists complaining about the dictatorship, openly asking the questions about why, if there is supposedly a democracy in Russia, Mr. Putin is blatantly and publicly planning for war against the Western democracies? And, clearly, all the evidence points to the conclusion that Russia is preparing for war against the West. Putin openly boasts of Russia’s new ICBMs that can change course mid-flight and avoid all anti-missile defenses. Russia is now very much in league with communist China, with which it has forged a massive military alliance, and with other still-communist nations of the world.
