In 2000, Cardinal Ratzinger admitted Russia has not been consecrated

By Brian Kopp


Despite all the claims to the contrary, Russia has not been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as requested at Fatima. Cardinal Ratzinger himself admitted this at the press conference in the year 2000 at the Vatican when the "Third Secret" was "revealed."

Here's the video in which Chris Ferrara reads Cardinal Ratzinger's own words regarding the consecration, from the transcript of that news conference, beginning at 48:50 but especially right at 50:00 minutes into the video:

Regarding a question about Fr. Gruner, Cardinal Ratzinger answers the reporter:


"I think that he should conform himself to the magisterium of the Church, recognizing that the Consecration of Russia is done according to the will of the Madonna, and that he should leave it to the Magisterium of the Church to find the right moment."

He was saying in the year 2000 that the Magisterium had not yet found the right moment, that the Consecration of Russia has not yet been done.

Cardinal Ratzinger goes on (in the transcript):

"He could make this proposal [i.e., the Consecration of Russia] but he should also be capable of being sufficiently generous to accept that the Magisterium has her reasons to not do it immediately, but to wait a little, and above all for the maturation of the process [of canonization] of the three shepherds."​

I thought that passage of scripture was ONLY found in Mathew’s Gospel, just wondering or correcting.

Nothing. What really gives me the giggles is the comparison of Putin to Stalin while their infallible voodoo doctor is a straight up commie.

I think that has less to do with religion and more to do with geopolitics. In Syria, we trained, armed and provided support for ISIS. The Russians supported Assad, an Alawite who generally protected religious minorities, including Christians, from the Sunnis.

One of the prayers of Fatima:

“Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy”.

It has a great deal to do with Christianity. It’s the Gospel message-”Unless you repent, you shall perish”. Doesn’t get more basic than that, and there many non Catholic Christians who respect Fatima, even if they don’t believe it or understand it fully.

In KJV and Geneva Bible, each show it in Luke 4:8 too.

But do one of those bible verse searches with the major translations and they are all over the map with wording in part- but they all have the concept of ‘only’ that was added by Messiah (compared to the verse in Deuteronomy)

‘Only’ is a rather important word that Messiah uses that makes the test of the spirit easy if one is honestly proving all things... any spirit telling anyone to serve them and not YHWH ‘only’ is lying.

And anybody who has read down far enough in those promises, number 14 is a concern..
