When the Son of Man Returns Will He Find Faith on the Earth?

Why did Pope John Paul II, soon to be Blessed John Paul, not order the bishops of the world to join with him when he consecrated the world to the Blessed Virgin in 1984?

Why did John Paul II not proclaim the Fifth Marian Dogma, recognising the Blessed Virgin Mary as Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate of the people of God?

Could it be that he was trying to avoid a schism in the Roman Catholic Church?

Why would John Paul II think that such actions could bring about a schism?

Is it because of what John Paul II, as Pope, read on the single page written by Sister Lucia containing the words of the Mother of  God?

Did the Blessed Virgin suggest certain behaviors of the Church hierarchy would cause a schism?

Was John Paul II restricted in his actions out of concern that a schism not occur on his watch?

How else can one explain why the most Marian Pope in recent history chose not to take two actions that could have given greater recognition to the role of the Blessed Virgin in the economy of salvation.

One can argue that the Fifth Marian Dogma would have made ecumenical relations with Protestants more difficult. That argument was advanced for the Fourth Marian Dogma but history has disproved the thesis.

My opinion is that following Vatican Council II many Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church became quite Protestant. As such, their view of the Blessed Virgin's role in the affairs of the modern Church is greatly diminished. This despite the words at Fatima, "In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph."

The Blessed Virgin went on to say, "The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted..." What does converted mean? Convered to Christian Orthodoxy or to Roman Catholicism?

Before the Bolshevik revolution and murder of the Czar, Russia was arguably the holiest country in the world. With the conversion of Russia, Catholic orthodoxy might have the greatest of allies.

If there is to be a schism within the Roman Church perhaps Orthodoxy may be able to help the faithful decide which side to choose, given the Orthodox Church was not a participant in Vatican II, (two Russian observers notwithstanding).
