the Bishop of Fatima are permitted to know the secret, but they have chosen to
not know it so that they would not be influenced.

until 1960."
hell.
The other thing which sanctified these children was to see the vision of
Last Times
"Father, the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of
the world but She made me understand this for three reasons."
"The third reason is because in the plans of Divine Providence, God always
before He is about to chastise the world, exhausts all other remedies. Now,
when He sees that the world pays no attention whatsoever then, as we say in
our imperfect manner of speaking, He offers us with 'certain fear' the last
means of salvation, His Most Holy Mother. It is with 'certain fear' because if
you despise and repulse this ultimate means we will not have any more
forgiveness from Heaven because we will have committed a sin which the
Gospel calls the sin against the Holy Spirit. This sin consists of openly rejecting
with full knowledge and consent, the salvation which He offers. Let us
remember that Jesus Christ is a very good Son and that He does not permit that
we offend and despise His Most Holy Mother. We have recorded through many
centuries of Church history the obvious testimony which demonstrates by the
terrible chastisements which have befallen those who have attacked the honor
of His Most Holy Mother how Our Lord Jesus Christ has always defended the
Honor of His Mother."
allows Sister Lucy to again speak to the world we should treasure and ponder
this important message.
When it was first published by Father Fuentes it drew widespread interest
from many of the faithful around the world. However, as a result of the
courageous publication of this serious message, Father Fuentes received a
totally unmerited and unprecedented persecution from some anonymous
officials in the Diocese of Coimbra, where Sister Lucy lives.
In light of various similar events in the more recent past, in other Curias,
we should not be too surprised to learn that a nameless official of the Curia in
Coimbra on July 2, 1959 released a statement to the world press saying that
the report of Father Fuentes was not true. Common sense, as well as the
principles of law, inform us that a statement made by an anonymous official has
no real authoritative value.
Father Fuentes Defended: In Mexico, the Archbishop of Vera Cruz, His
Grace Manuel Pio Lopez came to the defense of Father Fuentes. Cardinal Jose
Garibi y Rivera, the Archbishop of Guadalajara also publicly defended Father
Fuentes against the unjustified attack of unnamed diocesan officials. Whoever
these persons were who did this, we know that it could not be a Cardinal or
Archbishop because there was no Cardinal or Archbishop in that Curia. Neither
did the authors of this grossly misleading statement of the Curia of Coimbra
ever have the courage to identify themselves.
First Father Alonso, the official archivist for the Bishop of Fatima in 1971,
adopted the "official" position of the Curia of Coimbra. However, he too, after
studying the matter in depth came to the defense of Father Fuentes by 1976.
He then said, "The authentic text, which in justice is the only one attributable to
Father Fuentes, in my opinion contains nothing which gave rise to the
condemnatory note of Coimbra. Much to the contrary, it reinforces a doctrine
which is very apt to piously edify the Christian people."
Father Alonso had ample opportunity to speak to Sister Lucy from 1971 to
1976 so as to come to a more accurate understanding of this affair. He, by
1976, knew that neither Father Fuentes nor Sister Lucy had misled the world by
this statement of 1957 which we have published above.

Sainte Trinit in his recently published Volume III of his series Toute la Vrit
Sur Fatima. The text published here is The Fatima Crusader's translation of the
Spanish and English texts published in Frre Michel's book The Third
Secret (Vol. III, pages 336-338).
