How the Roman Catholic Church Administration
Missed the "Fatima Opportunity" for Peace Between 1925 and 1929
A Time Line of Religious and Secular Events Confirms It
PURPOSE and INTRODUCTION
Miguel de Portugal has studied the history of the Fátima
apparitions and their aftermath in detail, has identified the dates on
which critical events occurred, and has confirmed the time period
during which needed responses by the Roman Catholic Church
Administration failed to occur. As the following time line of
religious (1) and secular (2)
events shows, there is a correlation between the Church's failure to
respond to Heaven's warnings given at Fátima and the world's
post-1929 descent into depression, totalitarianism, and war. By 1938,
the world was irreversibly on course toward a catastrophe that would
kill tens of millions of people. By 1942, the Second World War and the
Holocaust were at their height.
TIME LINE
1917
- May 13: the first apparition
of the Virgin Mary to the three shepherds in the Cova de Iria, at
Fátima.
- July 13: The Virgin Mary
told Lucia that She would return in the future to request two actions.
These requests later became public: the Consecration of Russia, and the
spread of devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. On this day, the children
were told: (3)
"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 what I say to you is done,
many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war [referring to
World War I, which was then in progress] is going to end; but if people
do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the
pontificate of Pius XI. (4) When you see a night
illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given
you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by
means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy
Father."
"To prevent this, I shall come to
ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the
Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are
heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she
will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and
persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father
will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the
end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate
Russia to me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be
granted to the world. In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will be
preserved, etc."
- October 13: Supernatural
events accompanied the final apparition of Mary at Fátima. Many
of these events (including the "dance of the Sun") were observed by
50,000-70,000 people (believers and unbelievers alike), and were
covered at the time by secular Portuguese newspapers.
- November 13: At the request
of the priest of the Fátima parish, the Archbishop of the Lisbon
Patriarchate began an inquiry into the Fátima events, one month
after the apparition in October. Under Church law, the Archbishop was
the proper authority to conduct this investigation, and to rule on the
authenticity of the Fátima events.
And during the same year:
- Russia - February 25: start
of the 1917 Revolution. March 2: Czar Nicholas II abdicated. April 3:
Lenin returned to Russia from Switzerland after being allowed to cross
the Kaiser's Germany in a sealed train. October 25: Bolsheviks seized
power. December 7: the Cheka (Soviet secret police force) was founded.
- Germany - began unrestricted
submarine war on February 1; after several American ships were sunk,
the US responded by declaring war on April 6. The US intervention was
key to the defeat of Germany and her allies in 1918.
- Britain - with the Balfour
Declaration of November 2, the British government supported
establishment of a Jewish "national home" in Palestine - the first
political breakthrough for modern-day Zionism. On December 11, the
British army captured Jerusalem - the first time since after the
Crusades that the city had not been under Muslim rule.
1918
- January 17: By a Vatican
ruling, the Diocese of Leiria (covering the region around
Fátima) was re-established, separately from the Patriarchate of
Lisbon. This Vatican action, taken even before the completion of the
local investigation, appears to indicate that the Vatican knew of the
importance of the Fátima events within a few months of their
occurrence.
And during the same year:
- Russia - Civil war between
the Communists and their opponents began in 1918 (and the war continued
until 1921). The Czar, his family, and his servants were massacred on
July 17, on orders from Lenin.
- Germany - the Kaiser
abdicated on November 9, and a republic was established. On November
11, the Germans agreed to an armistice, ending World War I.
1919
- April 28: Completion of the
Fátima investigation which had begun in November 1917; the
findings were turned over to the Archbishop, the Governor of the Lisbon
Patriarchate.
And during the same year:
- Russia - Establishment of
the Communist International, with the intent of fostering "the creation
of an international Soviet republic." This body, which directed
Communist party activity worldwide, remained in existence under this
name until 1943.
- Germany - The German
Worker's Party, which in 1920 became the Nazi Party, was founded on
January 5, 1919. Under duress, on June 28, 1919 the Germans signed the
Versailles Treaty; they were compelled to pay reparations to the
victors, and to accept guilt for starting the World War.
1921
- October: the Bishop of the
Diocese of Leiria authorized open air masses for the increasing number
of pilgrim visitors to the apparition site; previously, he had already
purchased a large plot of land in the Cova de Iria (the apparition
site) for the planned Fátima Sanctuary buildings.
And during the same year:
- Russia - Communist victory
in the Civil War.
- China - Communist Party
founded in July; Mao Tse-Tung was one of the 53 founders.
- Germany - On July 29, Hitler
was elected as the leader of the National Socialist party.
1922
- January 22: Pope Benedict XV
died. (5)
- February 6: Pius XI elected.
- May 3: A formal Diocesan
canonical investigation of the Fátima events began.
- October 13: With the
approval and under the supervision of the local Church authorities,
3,000 copies of the first issue of "Voz de Fátima" were printed.
And during the same year:
- Russia - Stalin was elected
as General Secretary of the Communist Party.
- Italy - Mussolini and his
Fascists took power after the October "March on Rome."
- Germany - made a treaty with
the Soviet Union in 1922; secret provisions allowed Germany to violate
its disarmament obligations under Versailles, building tanks and
manufacturing chemical weapons within the Soviet Union. Soviet-German
military cooperation continued from 1922 to 1932.
1923
- Germany - The Nazis and
their allies attempted to seize power in Bavaria in the November 8-9
"Beer Hall Putsch," but were defeated by the police. Hitler was
arrested for treason, and would be in jail until December 1924.
- Spain - On September 13,
Miguel Primo de Rivera carried out a military coup against the
parliamentary regime, and - with the assent of the King - established a
dictatorship.
1924
- The Pious Union of Servites of Our
Lady was founded to begin providing priests, physicians, and nurses to
assist sick pilgrims to Fátima. This ministry was established
under canon law, indicating that Church authorities with jurisdiction
over the approval of these events accepted the veracity and understood
the significance of the Fátima apparitions.
And during the same year:
- Russia - Lenin died; Stalin
consolidated his power; between 1924 and 1927 he out-maneuvered and
expelled his opponents within the Communist Party.
1925
- December 10: The Virgin Mary
told Lucia to make public the request for devotion to the Immaculate
Heart of Mary - a request that had been announced in advance by Our
Lady to the visionaries in 1917, eight years previously.
And during the same year:
- Germany - The first volume
of Hitler's Mein Kampf was published.
1926
- February 15: In an
apparition, Jesus reminded Lucia of Mary's request made on December 10,
1925 to spread the devotion to Her Immaculate Heart, and insisted upon
obedience.
- The first edition of the
Fátima Pilgrim's Manual was published with Diocesan approval,
and a print run of 10,000 copies.
And during the same year:
- Germany - Due to increasing
unemployment and economic hardship, Nazi Party membership increased
from 20,000 to 40,000.
- Great Britain - first
demonstration of a working television system.
- Portugal - a military coup
on May 28 installed an authoritarian, nationalist, pro-Catholic regime
that would remain in power until 1974.
- Poland - A military coup
(May 12-14) overthrew a parliamentary government and installed an
authoritarian regime led by Colonel Jozef Pilsudski. This regime
remained in power after Pilsudski's death in 1935, until Poland was
occupied by Germany and the USSR in 1939.
1928
- May 13: the Archbishop of
Evora (an Archdiocese in Portugal) blessed and placed the first stone
of the new Fátima Basilica.
1929-1930
- June 13, 1929: The Virgin
Mary appeared to Lucia at her convent in Tuy, Spain, and told her that
the time had come to
consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart. By this
time, the Church authorities had had almost twelve years to respond to
the requests that Our Lady had made at Fátima. Our Lady said:
"The moment has come in which God
asks the Holy Father, in union with all the Bishops of the world, to
make the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, promising to
save it by this means. There are so many souls whom the Justice of God
condemns for sins committed against me, that I have come to ask
reparation: sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray." (6)
- By the end of 1929: The
Diocesan Bishop, D. José Alves Correia Da Silva, published a
solemn pastoral letter declaring that the Apparitions of Our Lady of
Fátima from May 13 to October 13, 1917, were worthy of belief.
(This letter of approval confirmed his actions since 1921 pertaining to
Fátima). (7)
And during the same period:
- Germany - On September 14,
1930, the Nazis won 107 seats in the Reichstag (out of 577), becoming
the second largest party in the German parliament.
- Russia - In 1929, the
Soviets intensified their persecution of religion (Christian, Jewish,
and Muslim alike), and began the forced collectivization of agriculture
and the "liquidation of the kulaks," (the well-off peasants). These
agricultural policies led to famine, mass deportations, and 4-5 million
deaths during 1929-1933.
- United States - the October
1929 stock market crash signaled the beginning of the Great Depression.
- Italy - in February 1929,
the Holy See signed the Lateran Treaty with Italy, gaining sovereignty
over Vatican City, the establishment of Catholicism as the state
religion in Italy, and payments in compensation for Papal territory
taken by Italy in 1871.
1931
- August: In a letter to her
bishop, Lucia said that the Virgin Mary informed her that Her requests
had not been fulfilled in time, and that the consequences would be
dire:
"They did not wish to heed my
request. Like the King of France, they will repent and do it, but it
will be late. Russia will have already spread her errors throughout the
world, provoking wars, and persecutions of the Church; the Holy Father
will have much to suffer." (8)
(The "King of France" is an allusion
to a message given by the Sacred Heart of Jesus in June of 1689 to St.
Margaret Mary Alacoque, calling upon Louis XIV to consecrate France to
the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This was not done in timely fashion - and
France began its move toward the Revolution, which began 100 years
later.)
In summary, by the end of 1922, the
Church authorities in Fátima, Lisbon, and Rome knew of the
Fátima events, and had given them their de facto
approval; this approval was made formal in 1929 by the Diocesan bishop.
Nevertheless, the Vatican disobeyed
Heaven's request, and delayed the consecration of Russia to 1942, with
repeat efforts in 1952, 1964, 1982, and 1984. These were too late to
avert World War II, the Holocaust, and the global spread of Russia's
deadly errors. By August 1931, time had already run out.
And during the same year (1931),
secular events, which were ominous enough before mid-1931, now
manifested the end of Heaven's patience.
- Japan/China - On September
18, Japan attacked Manchuria, its first act of aggression in what
became World War II. The Japanese invasion prevented the Chinese
government from suppressing the Communist insurgency, which was led by
Mao Tse-Tung.
- Spain - Under popular
pressure, the regime called for elections on April 13. Left-wing and
republican parties won, forcing the King to flee the country. A
Republic was established, which would last until Franco won the Civil
War in 1939.
1932
- May 13-15: The Vatican's
ambassador to Portugal, the Papal Nuncio, presided over the National
Pilgrimage to Fátima; two days later, he wrote, "Fátima
is a true blessing for Portugal. I am convinced that Mary will always
protect this Nation.... and will save it from the great dangers which
threaten the whole of society." Again: by mid-1932, the Vatican knew
what Fátima meant.
And during the same year:
- Germany - On July 31, 1932,
the Nazis won 37.4% of the votes cast in national elections, making
them the largest party in the Reichstag. However, in elections held on
November 6, 1932, the Nazi share of the vote fell to 33.1%, and their
Reichstag representation declined from 230 to 196. These were the last
national elections held before the Nazi seizure of power in 1933.
1933
- Germany - Hitler became
Chancellor of Germany on January 30. On February 27, the Reichstag was
burned by an arsonist - and the regime used this to justify assuming
dictatorial powers. On March 22, the Nazis opened their first
concentration camp, at Dachau. On March 23, the Nazi-dominated
Reichstag passed an Enabling Act, giving total power to Hitler; one of
Hitler's first actions under this law was to purge Jews from civil
service and teaching posts. The Enabling Act had passed over the
opposition of the Social Democrats, but with the support of the Center
Party, Germany's Catholic political party. On May 10, there was a
ceremonial, public book-burning in Berlin. On October 14, Germany left
the League of Nations.
- Vatican - On July 20, the
Third Reich signed a concordat with the Vatican - and quickly began
violating the treaty provisions that had guaranteed freedom for the
Catholic Church. Nevertheless, the Vatican ratified this pact on
September 10, 1933.
Ian Kershaw, a leading historian of
the Third Reich, describes this Concordat as "an unqualified triumph
for Hitler": (9)
"Hitler himself had laid great store
on a Concordat from the beginning of his Chancellorship, primarily with
a view to eliminating any role for 'political Catholicism' in Germany.
As we have already seen, this aim was achieved with the dissolution of
the Zentrum and BVP in early July." [The Zentrum was the Catholic
Center Party; it dissolved itself on July 5, 1933 as a condition for
the Concordat; the BVP was the Center Party's Bavarian counterpart. The
disbanding of these parties paved the way for the Nazis to declare
their party to be the only legal party in Germany.]
Kershaw added: (10)
"The German episcopate ... now poured
out effusive statements of thanks and congratulations to Hitler.
Cardinal Faulhaber, the Catholic leader of Bavaria and long a thorn in
the side of the National Socialists in Munich, congratulated Hitler in
a handwritten letter: 'What the old parliament and parties did not
accomplish in sixty years, your statesmanlike foresight has achieved in
six months.' He ended his letter: 'May God preserve the Reich
Chancellor for our people.'"
William Shirer, author of Rise
and Fall of the Third Reich, agreed with Kershaw's assessment of
the benefit that the Nazis gained from their treaty with the Vatican.
He said, "coming as it did at a moment when the first excesses of the
new regime in Germany had provoked world-wide revulsion, the concordat
undoubtedly lent the Hitler government much badly needed prestige." (11)
1935
- Italy - In October, Italy
invaded Ethiopia, the first act of aggression by the European Fascist
powers. Italy's victory was secured by use of mustard gas against the
Ethiopians. Italy annexed Ethiopia in May, 1936.
1936
- Spain - In July, General
Franco led a revolt against the left-wing Republic; this began a civil
war that would end in March 1939 with Franco's victory. Germany
provided Franco at least 10,000 infantrymen, and carried out bombing
raids for him; Italy sent 70,000 soldiers. The Republic received aid
from the Soviet Union.
- Germany - on March 7,
Germany violated the Versailles Treaty by re-occupying the Rhineland,
which had been demilitarized after World War I. There was no response
from the Western powers to this first act of German aggression.
- Italy - the Rome-Berlin Axis
was proclaimed on October 23.
- Japan - Signed the
"Anti-Comintern Pact" with Germany on November 25; Italy joined the
alliance on November 6, 1937.
1937
- Japan/China - On July 7,
1937, full-scale war between Japan and China began. Niall Ferguson, a
prominent historian, described this event as the start of World War II:
"When did the Second World War begin? The usual answer is September 1,
1939, when the Germans invaded Poland. But that is a European answer.
The real answer is July 7, 1937, when full-blown war broke out between
Japan and China." (12)
- Russia - Stalin began a
series of wide-ranging purges of the Communist Party, the military, and
the government. This would last until the end of 1938, and led to the
imprisonment and execution of several million people.
- Spain - On April 26, the
German and Italian air force devastated the republican-held town of
Guernica, in the first unrestricted use of air power against civilians.
- Vatican - On March 14, 1937,
Pius XI released the anti-Nazi encyclical, Mit Brennender Sorge;
(13) it was brought clandestinely into Germany,
and was read from Catholic pulpits on Palm Sunday. (14)
1938
- January - An unprecedented
aurora lit the sky over most of Europe and North America on the night
of Javuary 25-26. (15) The red glow was so
intense that fire crews in some areas were sent out to look for local
fires. (16) Sister Lucia saw the sky turn red
from 9 pm until 2 am, and knew that this was the "unknown light," the
"great sign" from God that it was too late to avert war.
Note well: Present-day
agitation to consecrate Russia according to the form given to Sr. Lucia
is pointless. The time for that consecration to have occurred, with the
full effect desired by God, came and went during the Pontificate
of Pius XI. By 1938 - indeed, by late 1931 - it was too late
to avert the disasters that Heaven had warned against.
And during the same year:
- Germany: On March 12,
Austria was annexed by the Third Reich. On October 1, Germany began to
occupy the Sudeten region of Czechoslovakia, with the acquiescence of
France and Britain. On the night of November 9-10, Nazi troopers
carried out "Kristallnacht," a national pogrom against the Jews.
1939
- February 10: Pius XI died.
- March 2: Pius XII elected to
the Papacy.
- September 13: The Bishop of
Leiria, Portugal - who had jurisdiction over the Fátima area - began to promote acts of
reparation on the first Saturdays of each month - fourteen years after
the Virgin Mary had asked for this to be done.
And during the same year:
- Germany - On March 15,
Germany occupied the remainder of Czechoslovakia. On August 23-24, the
USSR and Nazi Germany signed a non-aggression treaty which provided for
the division of Poland between the two dictatorships. On September 1,
Germany invaded Poland; this was the officially recognized beginning of
World War II. In response, France and Britain declared war against
Germany on September 3.
- Russia - Invaded Poland on
September 17; Catholic Poland was divided between the Nazis and the
Soviets.
- Italy - invaded Albania on
April 7, and used that country as a base to attack Greece in 1940.
1940
- Germany - invaded Belgium,
Holland, Luxembourg, and France on May 10. On June 22, France accepted
defeat, and on July 10 installed a dictatorial, collaborationist
government. On July 21, Hitler ordered his generals to begin planning
an attack on the Soviet Union in 1941; he made the plans final in
December, 1940.
- Japan - signed the
Tripartite Pact, reaffirming its alliance with Germany and Italy, on
September 27, 1940. The signers avowed their mutual intent to form a
"new order" in Europe and in "Greater East Asia," and agreed to assist
each other if attacked.
1941
- Japan - On December 7, Japan
attacked US and British forces throughout the Pacific, leading to a US
declaration of war against Japan on December 8.
- Russia - On June 22, Germany
invaded the USSR. In November and early December, the German army
bogged down before it could take Moscow, and a Red Army counterattack
began on December 5-6.
- Germany - Declared war on
the US on December 11. The extermination camp at Chelmno, in occupied
Poland, opened on December 7.
1942
- October 31, and again on
December 8: Pope Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart
of Mary. [This consecration was done late, and not in accordance with
the formula requested by Heaven.]
By this time, World War II and the
Holocaust were in full swing. God had not been "silent;" the Vatican
had been deaf to timely warnings from Heaven.
And during the same year:
- Russia - The Battle of
Stalingrad began in August 1942, and ended with the German defeat in
February 1943.
- Germany - On January 20, the
SS led a meeting at Wannsee, near Berlin, to plan the extermination of
European Jewry - the "Final Solution." By mid-1942, the Jews of
Nazi-occupied Europe were being shipped to extermination camps (at
Auschwitz and elsewhere).
- United States - on December
2, Enrico Fermi (a nuclear scientist who had emigrated from Italy to
protect his Jewish wife from persecution by the Fascists) achieved a
nuclear chain reaction at the University of Chicago. This was an
essential step in the development of the atomic bomb.
During this period, while the Church
failed to seek all the aid that it could have obtained for the whole
world from God and from the Virgin Mary, the Nazis and their allies
were invoking all the aid they could get from below.
