Great ApostasyFrom Messages of Our Lady of Mount Melleray
The Blessed Virgin is alerting against the apostasy in the ChurchIt [the Third Secret] has nothing to do with Gorbachev. The Blessed Virgin was alerting us against the apostasy in the Church.
Father Paul Kramer, et al
The Devil's Final Battle,
Ch.XII
On December 26, 1957, Father Augustine Fuentes interviewed Sister Lucy at her convent in Coimbra, Portugal. Later, with an imprimatur and the approbation of the Bishop of Fatima, Father Fuentes published the following revelations concerning the Third Secret, revealed to him by Sister Lucy during that interview: Sister Lucy also told me: “Father, the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Blessed Virgin. And the devil knows what it is that offends God the most, and which in a short space of time will gain for him the greatest number of souls. Thus the devil does everything to overcome souls consecrated to God, because in this way the devil will succeed in leaving the souls of the faithful abandoned by their leaders, thereby the more easily will he seize them.”832
“That which afflicts the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus is
the fall of religious and priestly souls.
The devil knows that
religious and priests who fall away from their beautiful vocation drag numerous souls to hell.
… The devil wishes to take possession of consecrated souls. He tries to corrupt them in order to lull to sleep the souls of laypeople and thereby lead them to final impenitence. He employs all tricks, even going so far as to suggest the delay of entrance into religious life. Resulting from this is the sterility of the interior life, and among the laypeople, coldness (lack of enthusiasm)
regarding
the subject of renouncing pleasures and the total dedication of themselves to God.”
The great apostasy in the Church will begin at the topIn the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top.

Gerard Mura «The Third Secret of Fatima: Has It Been Completely Revealed?» the periodical Catholic, March 2002 (published by the Transalpine Redemptorists, Orkney Isles, Scotland, Great Britain) online in Fr. Paul Kramer «The Devil's Final Battle», Serious pastoral negligence among highest hierarchy
Moreover, how are we to understand Lucy’s great difficulty in writing the final part of the Secret when she has already written other things that were extremely difficult to put down?
Had it been merely a matter of prophesying new and severe punishments, Sister Lucy would not have experienced difficulties so great that a special intervention from Heaven was needed to overcome them.

The second Message of Garabandal was received on June 18, 1965 by Conchita Gonzalez from Our Lady through Archangel Michael. In it, the Virgin Mary warns: “Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and taking many souls with
The angel came and said [on behalf of the Virgin]: As my message on October 18, 1961, has not been complied with and has not been made known, I am advising you that this is the last one. Before, the cup was filling up, now it is overflowing. Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and taking many souls with them. Less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist. You should turn the wrath of God away from yourself by your efforts. If you ask Him for forgiveness with a sincere heart, He will pardon you. I, your Mother, through the intercession of St. Michael the archangel, ask you to amend your lives. You are now receiving the last Warnings. I love you very much and do not want your condemnation. Pray to us with sincerity and we will grant your requests. You should make more sacrifices. Think about the passion of Jesus. “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.” (Matt 23:13)

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. … 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Eze 22, 26. Luk 11, 52. … 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

online: Father Paul Kramer The Suicide of Alteringthe Faith in the Liturgy Compulsory theocracy ought to collapse
The negative course in the [evolution of] religious consciousness was always such that Divinity was first, so to speak, cleared of all actual definition, was reduced to a pure abstraction, and then religious consciousness easily dispensed with this abstract Divinity and passed into irreligious consciousness, into atheism. …Vl. Solov’ev acknowledges a positive significance to the falling separate of the natures of the human powers from God, since after the falling separate there is made possible the free co-uniting of man with God. The Kingdom of God cannot be realised by way of compulsion and coercion. Compulsory theocracy ought to collapse, and man ought to enter upon the path of a free revealing of his powers. Vl. Solov’ev surmises, that the world ought to proceed through freedom and freely come to God. Contemporary religion represents a very pitiful thing: properly speaking, religion as the dominating principle, as the center of spiritual attraction, does not exist today… Some people like music and others do not.
Contemporary religion represents a very pitiful thing: properly speaking, religion as the dominating principle, as the center of spiritual attraction, does not exist today; instead, the is the so-called religiosity as a personal mood, a personal taste: some people have this taste, others do not, just as some people like music and others do not. In the absence of the unconditional centring [of all interests in religion] we have as many relative, temporary centers of life and consciousness as we have different requirements and interests, tasts and inclinations, opinions and points of view. It would be superfluous to dwell upon the mental and moral discord and the lack of principle, at prevailent in the realm of society as well as in the minds and hearts of the individuals, for that fact is too well known to anyone at all introspective or observant.
