Pope approves second miracle for Blessed Francisco, Jacinta Marto





.- On Thursday Pope Francis approved the second and final miracle needed to canonize Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto, two of the shepherd children who witnessed the Fatima Marian apparitions.


The Pope approved the miracle in a March 23 audience with Cardinal Angelo Amato, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, during which he advanced six other causes, approving one other miracle, two causes for martyrdom and three of heroic virtue.

In addition, the Pope also approved a positive vote from members of the canonization causes for six martyrs who are already Blessed, but do not yet have a second miracle attributed to them.However, the most significant of the causes approved is that of Francisco and Jacinta Marto. With the approval of the second miracle, the two may now be canonized Saints. It is likely Pope Francis will preside over their canonization himself while in Fatima May 12-13 for the centenary of the apparitions."

Alledged Unpublished Section of Third Secret of Fatima which Speaks about “a Bad Council and a Bad Mass” Story has been Corroborated by Independent Witnesses


The One Peter Five blog has a follow up to their previous story that Cardinal Ratzinger had allegedly told his friend, Fr. Dollinger,  in 2000,  that the published part of  the Third Secret of Fatima is authentic and that the unpublished part....speaks about “a bad council and a bad Mass” that was to come in the near future. 

There was a Vatican denial to this revelation in May 2016, which stated “the publication of the Third Secret of Fatima is complete, ” see here.  The statement was unusually worded and formulated.

Confusingly , Pope Benedict XVI in 2010, while not refering specifically to the third secret stated:- "we would be mistaken to think that Fatima’s prophetic mission is complete," which seems to infer that Fatima's prophetic status is ongoing. One Peter Five states:-


"In May of 2016, OnePeterFive received a public denial from the Vatican’s Press Office with regard to a story that we had published about the apparently still missing part of the Third Secret of Fatima. On 15 May 2016, Dr. Ingo Dollinger, a saintly priest and long-time friend of then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, had confirmed to us that Cardinal Ratzinger – shortly after the 26 June 2000 publication of the Third Secret of Fatima – had admitted to him that one part of that secret was still not published.
However, in the 21 May 2016 Press Communique from the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI was himself quoted as having said “never to have spoken with Professor Dollinger about Fatima” and, secondly, that “the publication of the Third Secret is complete.” Right after this denial and added affirmation, Dr. Dollinger insisted again upon bearing his own witness. In the wake of this somewhat unsettling development, we therefore inquired further about the virtuous life and witness of Dr. Dollinger – who himself was also a close collaborator of Saint Padre Pio – and we then also published a short story of his life in order to give more credence and even a moral certitude to his story.

As Nardi now reports, he first happened to visit Gottfried Kiniger on 21 December 2016, where he incidentally and quite informally mentioned the Dollinger story, as it had been publicly discussed more broadly after that 21 May of 2016. Kiniger, who does not use the Internet, had not yet heard about that story. Nardi continues, by saying:
After hearing about the [21 May 2016] denial coming from Rome, Kiniger became very upset. He could not imagine that Benedict XVI was to have made such a statement, because what Hickson had reported is what Dollinger had told him already in 2000. For this reason, there took place a second conversation at which Kiniger’s own description was recorded.
That second and recorded conversation took place some three weeks later, on 17 January 2017. Kiniger has now wholeheartedly given his approval for the publication of his own personal witness with regard to the Dollinger case. In the following, we shall present Nardi’s own report and technical recording of Kiniger’s own words:
“I do not remember the exact date,” says Kiniger, “but it was still in the year 2000, I am sure about that. I still remember the press conference [about the publication of the Third Secret of Fatima] in Rome, as it was then shown on television. In the fall, I visited again, as usual, Dollinger with whom I am friends for many years. On this occasion, he told me of his having met Cardinal Ratzinger – then Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – shortly after that [June 2000] press conference. He even then con-celebrated with him, something which Dollinger usually does not do, but Ratzinger had invited him to do it. After the celebration [of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass], Dollinger spoke with the cardinal and brought up the topic of Fatima and the Third Secret. Ratzinger told him: ‘What we have published is not the whole secret. [‘Was wir veröffentlicht haben, ist nicht das ganze Geheimnis.’] In the sacristy, there were also present other priests – some of them high-ranking priests – to whom the cardinal had to attend intermittently. But he soon returned to Dollinger and said to him: ‘We were instructed to do so.’ [‘Es ist uns so aufgetragen worden.’] This same sentence Dollinger, a second time, repeated: ‘We were instructed to do so.’ He [Dollinger] has interpreted these words, as such: namely, that John Paul II wanted it and ordered it this way. At this meeting, when Dollinger told me all these things, other people were also present, among them my own companion.

In the years to follow, Dollinger told of this episode again and again, several times, at our meetings. Most of the time, there were also several other people present. It was no secret, there was nothing that he kept secret. This is what the cardinal told him, this is what he passed on to others. Sometimes, there were priests and seminarians also sitting with us at the table who came from the seminary of the Fraternity of St. Peter in Wigratzbad."

Great News - Clear Creek Monastery Chevet Completed



For an idea about what Clear Creek monastery is all about see above.
The newly completed chevet of Clear Creek Abbey Church
The monks of the traditionalist Benedictine abbey of Clear Creek recently sent out the following e-mail:

Dear Friend of Clear Creek,


The construction of the chevet of the Abbey church is coming to completion. We are very grateful to all of you who helped make this possible by your prayers and generosity and sacrifices. The work was held up by some supply problems and cold weather, but the masons were laying the final stones on February 2nd, as we were celebrating the Lord's Presentation in the Temple. This coincidence encouraged us to share some photos of the work site and not-quite-complete church.

Fatima Centenary Year 2017 Westminster Cathedral event





WAF England and Wales Newsletter - New Crown - February 2017
Dear Friends,
This is a final reminder about the Westminster Cathedral Visitation of the WAF England and Wales National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, which will take place this coming Saturday. During this, Cardinal Nichols will receive, bless and crown the Statue.
Please do whatever you can to make known to your relatives and friends, this unique and most important ecclesial event, at the opening of the Fatima Centenary year 2017. 
You can see more details about the day here, including links to a flyer, and the program for the talks to be given during the Symposium which follows in Westminster Cathedral Hall.
The other thing is that we now have more news of the special new silvergilt Centenary Crown which has been made for the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, by the same firm in Portugal that made the richly-bejewelled crown that is only worn at Fatima on 13th of the month. As the image above shows, this new crown is absolutely beautiful and worthy of being offered to Our Lady for her Statue.
It will be brought from Portugal and presented to Cardinal Nichols for the coronation in Westminster Cathedral. It is being freely offered to Our Lady in return for whatever offerings the faithful wish to make to her in items of gold and silver, including jewellery containing some elements of gold or silver. This is how the original crown was made.

Please let your friends know about this so they can join in this offering. Everyone who makes a donation for the Centenary Crown will receive a receipt for the items they offer. More information about this can be seen here, including a link to a form you can download and fill in to send off with your donations if you can't make it on the day.
Donal Foley, Secretary, WAF England and Wales
