THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA REVEALED?
THE DEVIL, YOU SAY...OR "MOTHER OF GOD!"

Suppose you were a young child in Fatima, Portugal in 1917 and were visited by a beautiful woman in white who not only descended from the heavens, but told you and two other children some prophetic sayings. There are several versions of what this event might have been. It was witnessed by hundreds of people, so there's no doubt that something extraordinary happened near Fatima that day-and on two subsequent occasions. Rain fell from a clear sky, it is told, giving way to a beautiful rainbow. Then, something floated down from the sky-actually described as drifting as a leaf would, gracefully to the ground. Then out comes.....guess who! Among other things, she told the other two children they were to die shortly and there would soon be an end to World War One. There was also to be a revolution in Russia, which must have really impressed these poor, simple peasant children in Portugal, but the Bolshevik nation would eventually be consecrated. The mystery of all this is yet to be revealed. It all sounds rather mundane for prophecy, but much of it came to pass as told. Believe me, if a woman came out of the sky and told me I was a goner, I'd drop dead on the spot!

The "third secret" was given to a young girl who was instructed to reveal it to the world-but not until 1960, so at least she knew she was going to live a long life. In fact, as of this writing she, Sister Lucy, is still living--a virtual prisoner of the Carmelite Order in Portugal, so the story goes. Apparently, the time delay was because the prophecy is so dreadful that it must wait until close to "the time of the end!" As for the "Blessed Mother," she seems to be showing up all over the place! She doesn't say anything, she just appears. And wherever that occurs, thousands flock to the latest shrine. But on this occasion, she spoke.

Now, what ever happened to revealing the "secret" in 1960? Why haven't the Chief Padres been impressed enough to proclaim this terrible horrible no good very bad stuff that is to befall us any day now? Enter Kathleen Keating, a frequent guest on Art Bell's "COAST TO COAST AM" radio program, who was a friend and confidant of the late Father Malachi Martin. Father Martin was a former Jesuit priest and Vatican exorcist. He dared to say that "the devil has entered the Vatican" and also to expose the dirty little secrets of how "God's true church" operates in the modern world. Nowadays, "Satan is in the Vatican" is being called the Third Secret of Fatima. (It's been suggested by certain conspiracy theorists that Martin was a Vatican double agent, since the Jesuits wield enormous control worldwide, but I honestly don't think he was working both sides of that street.) Of course, the good Rev. claimed to be privy to the COMPLETE TRUTH concerning the "Third Secret of Fatima." As usual in these matters, whatever's coming will be 100 times worse than anything we can imagine! And worse than that, we can't even know what it is! Here we go again. In 2000, the Vatican released a document they tried to pass off as the "Third Secret," but Virgin Mary fanatics weren't impressed. It seems their Blessed Lady, the one they call the Mother of God, was being mocked by the very guardians of the temple that worships her. How could this be? All we get is "SATAN IS IN THE VATICAN. That's the secret. Now quit asking!"

Father Malachi Martin was a wonderful author, speaker and expert on Catholic Church history--the official history, that is. I've read some of his books and can easily see why the Vatican gave him the boot. He loved God and Christ (and Catholicism) with all his heart, but the Church of Rome is not all a pretty sight and he was not afraid to speak and write about it. He truly was a man of God who dared to violate protocol and for that, has my highest respect. The politics of the church of Rome today is essentially that of the temple of Jerusalem in Jesus' day. Whatever Christ said to and about the Scribes and Pharisees could be said to and about the Bishops and Cardinals of the Roman Church. Of course, many Jesuits don't want anything to do with Christ either! When Christ comes, Rome will wage war on Him, He'll destroy them and that's all there is to that! (Rev. ch. 17, 18)

Ms. Keating has some fascinating stuff to say-and write concerning "those things which must shortly come to pass." The beef I have with all these latter day prophets of doom is that they can go on and on for hours and tell us next to nothing! Why is that? To sell books? With what in them? More "secrets I am not allowed to divulge?" Father Martin supposedly took most of what he knew of this "Fatima" business to the grave, so it won't do us any good anyway! I heard him say several times that Pope John the 23rd read the "third secret" in 1960 and said it was BS! Nothing that terrible was going to befall us, the pontiff believed, not being given to such folly. It is also reported that he went into seclusion for several days after reading the "prophecy," apparently quite disturbed by its message. We don't really know what Pope John Paul I might have known of this since he got "whacked" after just 33 days as pope.

So what is this big mystery? Well it seems the current "Holy See" let Father Martin in on the secret, but in keeping with all things Catholic, he was required to take a vow that he would never reveal the contents of the thing! Never mind that Jesus Christ, the man they claim is God, commanded to never swear oaths and vows to anyone but the Father in Heaven! And for that matter, to pray only to the Father, not the son, and what would He think of them praying to his mom? Is that so hard to understand? Of course not, but most Catholics don't read the bible. If they did, they might discover the truth that their church teachings often contradict biblical teaching. Tradition is more important than scripture, they tell us, and besides, "lay people" can't possibly understand the scriptures anyway.

Kathleen Keating claims she came face to face with the "AntiChrist" which, if you look in the Holy Writ, does not even exist! Yes, I know-it's supposed to be the "devil" incarnate, the "serpent," the old "dragon," "Lucifer," and so forth. Actually, the real deceiver in the latter days will masquerade as Christ. Otherwise, what's the point?

Mr. "AntiChrist" wouldn't want us to be frightened; he wants us to follow him and naturally, most will. Then, when the true Messiah comes, those who followed the fake Christ will be long gone down the primrose path to the gates of hell and so on and so forth. Whoever this deceiver is, there he was, according to Ms. Keating, right there in the back yard! She said he was tall, dark, handsome and of course, well dressed. An Italian naturally, so he can walk right into the Vatican and even impress those old boys with enough charm and magic to have them genuflect to him.

He wants the whole world to be impressed and think he is the Messiah! That is Biblical truth. How could she be certain he was the "AntiChrist" anyway, and not just some Italian businessman in an Armani suit making her an offer she couldn't refuse? Well, eventually he just vanished into thin air. The woman must have nerves of steel.

Now, won't the real, true believers be taken away in the "rapture" before this dude shows up? Sorry, that's not in the script either, but she can tell you all about it! Just try to find it. Read the whole Bible. You won't find any "rapture." What about "purgatory?" Sorry. And the "Secrets of Fatima?" The Vatican's much publicized "revealing" of the so-called "third secret" last year was a fake. We knew that, even those of us whose interest in such things is marginal.

Now why all the hoopla over this Fatima stuff anyway? What happened in 1917 near Fatima, Portugal was an unusual event, but one that actually did ocurr. It's the interpretation of the matter that has caused this thing to remain fascinating to millions since that time. The hundreds of actual eyewitness accounts read more like modern day UFO reports, but in 1917 the woman who spoke to three little children was none other than Mary, the Blessed Virgin, Our Blessed lady, Mother of God, our "Mediatrix."

To these three little ones were revealed several prophetic secrets, most of which DID ocurr. The worst is yet to come! No one disputes these facts. The girl who was told the third secret wrote it up and got it to the Holy Papa, who upon perusing it laughed it off as the ramblings of a demented woman and locked it away in that deep dark enigmatic place we call the "secret Vatican vaults."

If they decided this was a bona fide miracle, why treat it like this? After all, isn't their Blessed Lady just about the most important thing to them? Why would they second guess Our Lady? Fr. Martin seemed to respect his vow to this man-made tyranny to the exclusion of God, who obviously must have sent the Blessed Virgin to Fatima in the first place, if that is who she was.

Thousands, perhaps millions of Catholics will flock to the site of any "Mary sightings" real or imagined! What they want is good news, healing, or just to be in the presence of God. Their Blessed Lady seems to be popping up everywhere these days. "Marian shrines" are all the rage. I have to assume the Vatican's loyalty to the "Mother Church" is far more important than any loyalty to God they may claim to have. What would these Vatican types think if Jesus showed up any day now, as they claim to believe? As I keep saying, the Bible tells us in Rev. 18 that the false church will wage war against Him and he'll destroy it.

In the meantime.....here are the main points Ms. Keating likes to warn us about:

The end is near! Ever heard that one before?

The United States is in big trouble in this latter day business. (aren't we always?) We will be attacked by both China and Russia. That's right. Our government has been lying to us about the military capability of these two Asian commie losers. (Does that surprise you?) They are not losers at all, it turns out, and they are going to nuke us any day now!

We also have those pesky Arabs to worry about because they have operatives in America just waiting for the word from their leader, whoever he may be, to unleash horrendous biological weapons of mass destruction on us.

Keating is always full of good news! We must atone for our sins, you see. What about Demons? Angels? Galactic war? You mean the little GRAY guys in the flying saucers again? Aren't they benevolent messengers? Or were they Hitler's guys? Whatever or who-ever they are, they're fixin' to attack! And don't forget, all these characters hate Christianity.....and, yes, they hate the Jews too, as you might suspect! Even the Grays? Say it ain't so. The last thing we need to worry about is galactic anti-semitism!

Sorry to say, none of us are safe in the horror that's coming "very soon!"

Mother of God! I almost forgot--the SUN is gonna blow up too!

And what about that dreaded 666 stuff?

Kathleen, c'mon already!

If it's so important, then just tell us! How many books have to be written on this subject? You won't need the money anyway when the "end" comes. Where are you gonna spend it?

Now this: At XMAS this year (2001) there's gonna be a huge comet coming by again! Two comets, according to Kathleen. Comets are supposed to be bad omens. What to do about all of this? You'll need all the "Hail Marys" you can muster up as we enter "these latter days!"

"They," who I must assume refers the soon coming global government, led by Mr. AntiChrist are gonna round us up in concentration camps.....not THIS again.....and what? Chop our heads off? She actually said that! And you were worried about "chemtrails" from jets and global warming?

Followup Report #1:

Catholic World News reported: “Sister Lucia, the last survivor among the three Portuguese children to whom the Virgin Mary appeared at Fatima, has died at the age of 97. Sister Lucia died on February 13, 2005, at her Carmelite convent in Coimbra, Portugal, after a long illness. Living in isolation in the cloistered convent, Sister Lucia had reportedly lost her eyesight and hearing in the months preceding her death.

Born on March 22, 1907, Lucie Dos Santos was only 10 years old when the Virgin appeared to her and her two young cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, on a field outside the town of Fatima, on May 13, 1917. The apparitions continued through October 13 of that same year, and the seers conveyed Mary's predictions of World War II, the rise of Russian Communism, and the urgent need for the faithful to pray the Rosary.

Sister Lucia also revealed the famous ‘third secret’ of Fatima, which was kept secret by successive Popes until May 2000, when John Paul II revealed the text of a mystical vision involving a ‘bishop dressed in white’ who was struggling toward the Cross, over the bodies of martyrs, until he himself was felled by gunfire. Pope John Paul concluded that the vision referred to the attempt on his own life. Some Catholics continue to insist that aspects of the ‘third secret’ have not yet been disclosed, although the Vatican insists that there is nothing more to reveal.
Sister Lucia had spoken of the Fatima promises in four published memoirs, but kept the ‘third secret’ hidden. She divulged that secret to the Bishop of Leira, Portugal, in January 1944; he confided the secret to Pope Pius XII. Sister Lucia had said that the secret should be revealed at the Pope's discretion, but not before 1960.

The first Pontiff to meet privately with Sister Lucia was Paul VI, when he visited Fatima in May 1967. Pope John Paul II met with her on three separate occasions: in 1982, when he made a pilgrimage to Fatima to thank the Virgin for saving him from assassination; in 1991, on the 10th anniversary of the shooting; and in 2000, for the beatification ceremonies.

Francisco and Jacinta Marto were beatified by Pope John Paul in ceremonies that took place at Fatima on May 13, 2000 - the anniversary of the first apparition there. Both Francisco and Jacinta had died in their youth - in 1919 and 1920, respectively. Sister Lucia made a rare journey outside the Carmelite cloister to take part in the ceremony.

After the Fatima apparitions, and subsequent personal visions of the Virgin in 1923 and 1929, Lucie Dos Santos entered religious life-- first in Spain and later, in 1948, as a Carmelite in Portugal. Questioned as to whether Sister Lucia could be canonized, as were the other two young Fatima seers, Cardinal José Saraiva Martins was non-committal. The prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints reminded reporters that the Church ordinarily requires a 5-year interval between an individual's death and the opening of a formal cause for beatification. Moreover, the Portuguese cardinal observed, ‘sanctity is a strictly personal thing.’ He added: ‘The fact that all three children saw the Holy Virgin does not show anything about the sanctity of each one.’"

Followup Report #2:

The Catholic Church and the deceitful Jesuits know damn well that "Our Lady of Fatima" was NOT their mythical "Virgin Mary," "Mother of God," or any such nonsense.

The Visitors, "aliens," "Grays," or whatever you choose to call them will often appear to people in a manner which they will most easily understand. This is especially true in the visitations experienced by children.

The so-called "Mother of God" is no more real than the "Easter Bunny" or "Santa Claus!"
