VIDEO: John XXIII and 1960—When the Third Secret of Fatima Was Silenced
What happened in 1960 when the Vatican refused to reveal the Third Secret of Fatima, as dictated by the Blessed Virgin Mary herself 33 years earlier? Why did Sister Lucia—who spoke with the Virgin as a mere child—go silent? And what does this cover-up mean for the crisis of the Catholic faith in our time?
n this lecture, we return to False Friends of Fatima by Christopher Ferrara to expose the fateful choice made by modern Church leaders—beginning with John XXIII in that pivotal year 1960—to suppress the full message of Fatima in favor of “progress,” “dialogue,” “innovation,” “modernism,” and…
A new Mass.
What emerges is a tale of two camps—Tradition and Innovation—fighting for the soul of the Church. One heeded and continues to heed the voice of the Virgin. The other silenced and continues to silence it. Most Catholics don’t even know about this. And the shallow “release” they gave us in the year 2000 should tell us everything we need to know.
