Fatima and the Russian Connection
By William Price
Is the Church in Checkmate? Maybe.
In 1917, the Blessed Mother appeared six times at Fatima Portugal and put the entire world on notice. She chose three shepherd children to be Her earthly ambassadors, and conveyed heaven’s grievances concerning mankind’s moral turpitude.
On Our Lady’s third visit, July 13, 1917, she showed a terrifying vision of hell to the three children:
"You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart… If my requests are heeded many souls will be saved and there will be peace." "…But if men do not cease offending God…"
Our Lady predicted a worse war (WWII) than the one then-currently in progress (WWI). She informed the children that she would make a future visit to request the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart.
Thirteen years later, in June of 1929, at Tuy, Spain, Our Lady reappeared to Sister Lucia de Santos, the last living Fatima visionary, and stated that the time had come for the consecration of Russia, specifically stipulating the terms for such: It was to come by way of a solemn act and made specifically to her Immaculate Heart.
Consecrating Russia was the exclusive responsibility of the pope to oversee and execute. So, as long as the pope conducted the solemn consecration of Russia and ordered the bishops to participate in such, heaven would be satisfied, despite any lack of episcopal cooperation. Our Lady’s request to us, the people, was and is that we pray the Rosary daily, sacrifice, do penance and make first Saturday reparations. If Her requests were complied with, God would spare the earth from a terrifying global chastisement.
Let’s just suppose one of the eight popes from then until now did his part, but the people refused to change their ways.
Would God save the world from the deadly chastisement prophesied anyway? Conversely, what if we Catholics subordinated our intellect, memory

and will, with the aid of sacramental grace, to convert as Our Lady requested, would God spare the world this global chastisement, even if the pope didn’t do his part?
The predicted world chastisement is coming and we know the pope will eventually make the consecration because our Lord stated that he will, but " it will be too late". Our Lord used King Louis XVI’s tragic example of disobedience to make the point. The French King paid with his head for stubbornly refusing the Lord’s simple request: to place an image of his Sacred Heart on the King’s coat of arms.
Many good Catholics lament the failure of all the popes from Pius XI to Francis to heed heaven’s warnings, but how many of us "good Catholics" have really listened to Our Lady when it comes to our part in all of this? Are we saying a daily rosary? Are we doing penance?
Are we making sacrifices by rejecting the world’s endless seductions and participating in first Saturday Reparation devotions? Would God spare us some of the ferocity of the coming chastisement if just the remnant of his Church would fully surrender their intellect and will by embracing His truth, which includes the message He sent mankind via his Holy Mother?
Once again our collective sin has placed us at the threshold of an all-out nuclear war with Russia, a country with the world’s largest nuclear arsenal.
Interestingly, they also have the world’s best missile defense strategy, including a sophisticated system of bomb shelters and the like.
We, on the other hand, have comparatively little, with no Plan B in the event of a nuclear attack. Russia believes they can survive a nuclear war and also knows we have no contingency. In 1962 people understood just how grave was the threat posed in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Today, our nation continues in a terrifying state of cognitive dissidence. We are in denial… Listen to Fr. Fuentes’ interview with the last living Fatima ambassador, Sister Lucia de Santos, on December 26, 1957:
"Tell them Father that many times, the most holy Virgin told my cousins Francisco and Jacinta, as well as myself that many nations will disappear from the face of the earth.
She said that
Russia will be the instrument chosen by heaven to punish the whole world if we do not beforehand obtain the conversion of that poor nation" (emphasis mine) The Whole Truth about Fatima, THE THIRD SECRET pg. 504 vol. III.
The very fact that Russia was chosen by God should scare us to our knees and put us all in the pews for Our Lady’s requested first Saturday devotion.
Over the last couple of decades, Russia has abandoned much of its Communist ideology, while simultaneously becoming reacquainted with its historical Christian Orthodox roots. Could this be due to a Catholic remnant realizing its propensity for sin and finally heeding Our Lady of Fatima’s plea for prayer, sacrifice and reparation?
Rejecting the world’s satanic global agenda is key, and is not Russia now the greatest threat the diabolical European Union has yet to face?
Although small in number have we—all those sincerely trying to do their part to heed Our Lady’s requests—made some difference? Do the multitudes of those that refused to listen in fact nullify the multitude of Catholics since 1917 that have complied? There have been millions since 1917, praying for forgiveness for their sins and the world’s indifference to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, According to Our Lady, heaven knows our collective hearts, those legitimately in submission and embracing her century-old Fatima admonitions to turn from evil have surely had some effect on the future.
The late Fr. James Downey, a contemplative Benedictine monk, was ordered by his Abbot out of his Missouri monastery to head the Institute of Religious Life. Fr. Downey said many times that the Catholic laity will save the Church. This could be our chance to prove him right. (Father Downey celebrated the traditional Latin Mass every day). Quite simply, have we complied with Our Lady’s requests to pray the rosary daily, reject the modern world, do acts of reparation, or not? If not, then we are part of the problem and the reason for the Church in checkmate. If so, then we have reason to hope and to continue to spread the message of Fatima in this 100th anniversary year of Our Lady’s attempt to save the world from the Divine chastisement we so richly deserve. ■
