A. Why does the Vision of the Third Secret published on June 26 contain no further words of Our Lady?
B. What happened to the words signified by Sister Lucy’s use of “etc.”?
A. Can you explain why the text published on June 26 is on four sheets of paper and spans 64 lines?
B. Is there a separate, one-page text of the Third Secret containing words of Our Lady which accompany and explain the vision published on June 26?
C. If such a separate text does not now exist, did it ever exist at any time?
A. Why did Sister Lucy write to the Pope in May 1982, a year after the assassination attempt, to warn that the Third Secret has not yet been completely fulfilled and that we are still moving toward it with great strides if the world does not turn from sin?
B. Why did Sister Lucy make no mention of the assassination attempt in her 1982 letter to the Pope about the Third Secret?
A. Why did none of these people ask Sister Lucy to confirm that the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart has been accomplished in the manner Our Lady requested, so that this controversy could be laid to rest?
B. On the other hand, if Sister Lucy was asked about the Consecration during April-May 2000, who asked her and what answer did she give?
C. Since Sister Lucy was available to give direct testimony about the Consecration in April-May 2000, why does the Vatican’s commentary of June 26 rely solely on an alleged letter from Sister Lucy, written in 1987, in which she tells an unidentified person that the Consecration was properly done in 1984?
D. Why rely on a 13 year-old letter to an unknown person, instead of asking Sister Lucy herself only a few months ago, when so many Vatican officials were in Fatima?
A. Does “conversion” spoken of by Our Lady mean a conversion to the Catholic faith?
B. If not, then what exactly does it mean?
C. Does the Vatican claim that Russia is now undergoing the conversion promised by Our Lady of Fatima?
D. If so, what evidence is there of a religious conversion in Russia?
E. How can the Immaculate Heart triumph, as Our Lady of Fatima promised, if Russia does not become Catholic?

All valid questions which deserve appropriate, complete, and respectful answers.

"All valid questions which deserve appropriate, complete, and respectful answers."
Figure the odds of that happening.
You have a better chance of winning the lottery. Not that I suggest you try Lotto; don't waste your time. Ironically, it is not a waste of time to post these questions, because the fact of asking them puts the topic up for discussion. Too many people today know nothing about this topic, and when they see information about it, their eyes glaze over and they seem to tune out. That is called diabolical disorientation.
"Ironically, it is not a waste of time to post these questions, because the fact of asking them puts the topic up for discussion."
I wasn't criticizing you.
Interesting definition of diabolic disorientation......I like it!
I'm not sure I understand. I did not presume any criticism. Saying it's not a waste of time is merely a stab at precluding criticism from someone who would misunderstand me. Now I'M the one not getting it! Oh, well.
"I did not presume any criticism."
Okay, my bad. I just got the impression that you might have taken my remark as criticism. Sorry.
Here is a sample of D2 in action:
[The quotation mark protocol is not followed because I pasted this in from a work by my friend, who plays piano better that I although he is going blind.]
"It is my belief, based on the conclusions I have reached after studying Catholic prophecy since 1970, that the Great Apostasy, foretold in Scripture and in the Third Secret of Fatima, will be formalized under the antipope foretold by St. Francis of Assisi, during the pontificate of the immediate successor of Pope John Paul II, who will have to flee from Rome and will not be in a position to bring about the consecration. It will be the next Pope after, according to my humble opinion (and according to the prophecy of the Roman stigmatist Antonio Ruffini), the second Pope after John Paul II who will finally consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary together with all the bishops of the world. Russia will be converted. Her Immaculate Heart will triumph. A vast multitude of Russian Traditionalists will enter the Catholic Church. Russia will be converted and the Church will revert back to Her traditions. There will be peace. But this will take place after the chastisement.
"Shortly before spring 1991, when I visited Fatima, Our Lady revealed to Sister Lucy (according to a very reliable source in Fatima) that the Third Secret would be revealed during the course of a major war. The Third Secret has not yet been fully revealed, as even Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger admitted in a private conversation with a German speaking person, a personal friend of Pope John Paul II for many years (who is personally known to me) who confronted him about the alleged publication of the "whole" Third Secret. Ratzinger answered: "Truly, that was not all of it." The Third Secret will be revealed, but it will be late: only after the next world war will have broken out.
"The desecration of Catholic churches and sanctuaries by pagan worship and the mingling of the true religion with false religions is the signal that the chastisement will now take place in the immediate future. The desecration of the sanctuary, of God’s Holy Place, is a sacrilegious and blasphemous act of impiety that demands immediate punishment in strict justice. God, therefore, in order to remain just cannot be patient any longer in the presence of the sacrilegious abominations that are now being perpetrated in Catholic churches and sanctuaries. It is precisely for this species of sin that God declares: "Therefore I also will deal with them in My wrath: My eye shall not spare them, neither will I show mercy … nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head." (Ezechiel 8:18, 9:10)"
