of Mary
The salvation of many souls and the peace of the world and the very existence of several nations is literally dependent upon the Pope and the Catholic Bishops solemnly and publicly consecrating Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on one specific day. This is the message of Fatima as we have proven in this issue and previous issues of The Fatima Crusader. To achieve this collegial consecration of Russia, the Pope must order all the Bishops to do this. The Pope needs our moral support and our prayers before he will be able to carry out this order from Heaven.
OBJECTION NO. 1
The Collegial Consecration of Russia has already been fulfilled by John Paul II.

Soul magazine reiterated this position again in September/October 1983. Soul magazine, as you can see from these published reports, agreed (at least up until October 1983) with The Fatima Crusader that the consecration of Russia according to Our Lady of Fatima's requests had not been done. Next we have the report of Father Fox, a newspaper columnist who says that the prioress of the convent of Mt. Carmel in Coimbra, where Sister Lucy lives, told Father Fox that the consecration had been done. These reports have been more than adequately dealt with by the article written by the Carmelite Father Joseph de Ste. Marie and which we published in The Fatima Crusader Issue No. (13-14) "Our Lady of Fatimas Demands Concerning Russia Not Yet Fulfilled". This article by Father Joseph de Ste. Marie shows clearly how false these words of Mother Prioress are.

the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Obviously, Pope John Paul II knows that Our Lady of Fatima's request for the collegial consecration of Russia has not yet been fulfilled.
OBJECTION NO. 2
Petitions to our Catholic Bishops are not important in order to help the Pope bring about this consecration of Russia.
OBJECTION NO. 3
It has been rumored some Fatima workers and their groups have been told by some unnamed person(s) to not collect any more petitions asking the Pope to consecrate Russia. We do not want to be disobedient so we shall not collect any more petitions until we are told we are allowed.

Canon Law is a reflection of the Natural Law which tells us that a superior must be willing to take responsibility for each order that he gives. If he is not willing to take responsibility then the order does not bind. Thus we see that St. Pius X who, when he was a parish priest, was one time called in by his Bishop and told to not preach on a certain subject. He said very well I'll be glad to comply if Your Excellency will give me this order in writing. His Bishop refused and St. Pius X said very well I will continue to preach as I have been, and he did. In brief, the point here is that some unnamed prelate can not bind others to do anything. If someone actually told a Fatima apostolate to stop collecting petitions, who is he? What is his name?
Obviously these petitions are important as Sister Lucy herself signed one addressed to the Pope asking for the Consecration of Russia by all the Bishops. Over 4,000,000 people have thus far signed petitions before the above-mentioned prelate gave the order to stop collecting petitions. The petitions must be having their effect otherwise why would anyone dare try to give such an unlawful order. Pope John Paul who clearly wants to consecrate Russia as Our Lady of Fatima asked would do it very soon if he knew that he had the grass roots support of the people. It is because he fears open schism that he does not insist with the Bishops just yet. The history of the Great Western Schism of 1380 to 1415 teaches the Popes the importance of having wide-spread popular support when ordering the bishops and Cardinals. To have this support is more important today considering the widespread heresy of modernism within the ranks of the Church today. Having many millions of petitions sent to the Pope would reassure him of our support, so that he would feel confident enough to order the bishops to Consecrate Russia. The Pope needs our moral support today more than ever in this matter of Consecrating Russia because for more than 20 years the Vatican foreign policy towards Communistdominated countries has stopped the Popes from consecrating Russia as Our Lady of Fatima asked. Now Pope John Paul II has started to change this foreign policy as can be seen from the fact that he has attacked the Regime of Moscow in 1984. (See "Why the VaticanMoscow Agreement Must Be Repudiated" in this issue.) This is contrary to the Rome-Moscow Agreement of Pope John XXIII of 1962 and therefore the Pope is trying to change Vatican foreign policy. He cannot do it all at once because it seems some of the influential Vatican Officials, who inspired the earlier Vatican policy towards Russia still have a lot of power within the Church. The Pope needs our support in order to overcome their resistance to his change in Vatican policy. As in any bureaucracy and institution of men, the advancement of certain men in their ambitions is dependent upon the acceptance of their policies and plans of action being adopted by the group or institute they work for. So too in the Church as in institutions that are only human, some men's personal ambition sometimes hidden even to themselves, so clouds their judgment that they cannot see that the policy they originally decided on and worked for is no longer justifiable. Thus there may well be men in the Vatican and in various bishops conferences (e.g. France) who are still in favor of continuing the Vatican-Moscow Agreement. These bishops work hard at seeing that the Collegial Consecration of Russia will not take place. These people have not yet seriously reflected upon the assassination attempt of May 13, 1981 which was engineered by the K.G.B. and which once more proves that the Church cannot expect the communist Regime to stop its war against the Catholic Church. Above all, the Pope needs the grace of God to overcome all the snares of the Devil who continues to put many barriers in his way. We must help the Pope by our prayers and sacrifices and fulfillment of Our Lady's requests at Fatima. Thus Our Lord Himself said to Sister Lucy, "Pray, pray a great deal for the Holy Father. He will do it (the solemn, public consecration of Russia with all the Catholic bishops) but it will be late."
