Why The Warning?

Why is God giving us the gift of the Illumination of Conscience?

It is a gift won for us, her children, by the Blessed Virgin, who knows that without it humanity is finished.

Why is it necessary?

The fog of error is so dense only the Virgin can lead us back to the truth about her son.

The Blessed Virgin, as the Mediatrix of All Grace, has a unique relationship with the Holy Spirit that has been likened to a spousal relationship. Calling on that relationship, the Blessed Virgin, has won for each of us, her children, the greatest of blessings, the opportunity to see the truth about our lives in the Light of Christ.

What do natural parents wish for their children?

That they would know the truth and that the truth would set them free.

Soon, each of us will  know the truth about our personal "morality". We will know how much we have manipulated the truth to suit our needs and how far that manipulation has distanced us from Christ, who is the real Truth.

Because the Blessed Virgin, is the Mother of God, she has a unique perspective on how far each of us are from her Son.

What a great Mother we have. What a tremendous gift she has won for us.

The Blessed Virgin has won what Christ would freely give if we would encounter Him in prayer and sacrament on a frequent basis. Jesus wants us to know and repent of our sins. He has given us the means to do that and be truly converted but most of us ignore the means.

There is still time to prepare for the Warning by asking God to reveal through the Blessed Virgin's intercession, the reality of our conscience, so that we might repent now.

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).
