Just because I’m usually so shy about expressing my opinion. Especially opinions where I don’t have all the facts. But, given the importance of the event, here goes:
Of course anyone who knew the importance of the Fatima apparitions/promises/warnings/consequences would want the consecration on Friday to be compliant with Our Lady’s command. We all want that. I want it. So what did she actually request (as translated in English)? From the Fatima.org site:
To save them [poor sinners who are on the road to hell], God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse war will break out during the reign of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions against the Church and against the Holy Father.
To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If My requests are heeded, Russia will be converted and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated.
In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.
The above was from the Second Secret told to the children by Our Lady and made public. Read here. Later, in 1929 Our Lady appeared to Sister Lucia and spoke the following words:
The moment has come when God asks the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. So numerous are the souls which the justice of God condemns for sins committed against Me, that I come to ask for reparation. Sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray.
So, Our Lady said God wants this. He directs that Holy Father must make this consecration, and that in union with all the bishops of the world. Therefore, on to the first condition.
Will it be the Holy Father consecrating Russia at all? Unless you found this site through an internet randomizer, you know that I believe this question, far from being an obvious yes, is a matter AT LEAST of very understandable doubt. I read the putative Benedictine abdication and I cannot conclude the text complies with Canon Law for validity. If it is invalid, Pope Benedict never stopped being Pope. He is still alive, you know. And there are signs he knows he is still Pope, ET CETERA ET CETERA.
So, the first condition of God’s request given through Our Lady is in serious doubt. OK, but Tim, aren’t both Bergoglio and Benedict “bishops” and thus if both consecrate Russia, would that not be compliant?
Yes, dear readers, that is the million dollar question. IF they both consecrated Russia as requested, then I can see how it very well may be acceptable, even under the bizarre conditions in which we find ourselves and the Church. And I get it– it would be just like Our Lord and Lady to bring such a wonderful miracle out of the mouth of the Church’s enemies themselves. Yes, quite fitting, actually. But what immediately is obvious to me is that we have not heard a peep out of Benedict about his participation. Nope, just the Vatican apparatus and its prison guards who always speak for him. Frank Walker calls this apparatus by the humorous name “BenedictBot”. Again, I tend to see things through the legal lens, and will just say this: everything ever said by anyone other than Benedict that claims to be “Benedict said this…” is HEARSAY. Sometimes they resort to double hearsay. Whatever, it would never be admissible in a court of law due to its inherent unreliability and unverifiability. That is why Ann Barnhardt very sensibly insists that Benedict, if participating at all, should be visibly doing so. Or, you’re going to tell me you will take Bergoglio’s word for it?? The man who allowed a demon to be worshipped in the Vatican gardens, and likely in St. Peter’s Basilica, too? The guy who tried to abrogate the Mass? Do I need to go on?
The second condition, assuming arguendo that the first was fulfilled, is that the consecration is to be done in union with all the bishops of the world and at the same time. A very lengthy discussion, and an informative one, about this condition can be found here. I’ll leave it at that. How many of the world’s bishops are required before this is satisfied? Does it have to be all? Some moral equivalent? I don’t know. So, would the invitation to all the Bishops to participate Friday, and the positive response of many, do the job? Again, I can’t decide, but just leave it as an issue.
Third, what is the effect of the inclusion of “humanity” and “Ukraine” along with “Russia”? Does that invalidate the consecration? Or is the mention of the word “Russia” enough, regardless of any additions? On this point I can see validity (if the other conditions are present) by specifically mentioning Russia. Why he needs to add anything else is a very good question not worth going into here.
Finally, Russia must be consecrated to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Specifically. If Russia is consecrated to say, a demon, now, I ask you, would that be good? I link to Ann Barnhardt below, but the concern is that included in the many titles given to Our Lady in the consecration, what is rendered in English is “Queen of Heaven”, but in the romance languages the title roughly translates to “Queen of the Land of the Sky”, which according to persons pointing this out is a title attributed to the demon pachamama. The consecration will be read in Italian.
Which ultimately leads me to Ann Barnhardt. Her post is worth reading, and she lays out all the bad intentions/circumstances/effects of Bergoglio’s effort. Ann writes with her usual assurance, but she has been right so many times I can understand her intensity. I think she lays out the worst case scenario, and though I am not 100% convinced Mary will not somehow bring the consecration about despite any shenanigans–because she so desperately wishes to help us— I can’t say the Barnhardt probable outcomes aren’t plausible, to say the least. After all, she wishes to help us but first and always she wishes exactly what God wills.
So, in the reader’s digest version of this post, I would say I think it is very slightly possible this will satisfy Our Lady’s request, but much more likely that it will not. If it does, we will see her Immaculate Heart triumph. IN REALITY. A real miracle, not some needing-to-be-interpreted, just right Francismiracle, like his appalling interpretation of the loaves and fishes. We will KNOW. Mary’s Immaculate Heart will be GLORIFIED. Russia will CONVERT. TO THE TRUE FAITH, THE CATHOLIC FAITH.
Any mild pause in the globalist agenda isn’t the endgame here. Radical conversion, repentance, and the Age of Mary is what I would look for.
And what will happen if this is not good enough, or worse, an outright scam by an antipope? Need I say that this likely would greatly offend Heaven? On the cusp of a nuclear war?
Our Lady asked Sr. Lucia to sacrifice and pray for the intention of the consecration of Russia. I would like to point out we have two days left before the ceremony on Friday.
And no matter what. DO NOT LOSE FAITH IN OUR LORD, OUR LADY, OR THE CHURCH. She will triumph, sooner or later. Don’t give in to scandal should this go down badly. She will triumph. She crushes the head of satan. He is less than a match for her.
God bless you all.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Of course, I would be zero percent surprised, given the description of this person in the linked article, as well as the fact that he managed to travel outside of the U.S. after the incident, if it were proven he was sent by the regime.

Three items for your consideration:
In primis, take Rafael Nadal, who instead of supporting Novak Djokovic’s principled stand against taking a poisonous gene serum, benefited from the absence of the best player in tennis history to “win” the Australian Open in 2022. That diluted win “makes” him the “leader” in Grand Slam titles, one ahead of Djokovic and Federer. His comments when asked about Djokovic’s deportation?: The rules are the rules. Craven and callous at the same time. Now fast forward two months, and it seems that the Spaniard is having some “sudden”, “unexplained”, “coincidental” health problems:
‘As reported earlier tennis champion Rafael Nadal was “left concerned” after suffering breathing problems during his defeat to Taylor Fritz in Indian Wells.
‘Nadal had battled through several close matches to reach the final and needed treatment at the end of his semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday.
‘On Sunday, following the match, Rafael Nadal told reporters, “When I try to breathe, it’s painful… It feels like needles.”’
No one wants Nadal to have a serious health outcome, regardless of his actions. I pray he does not. But if he does, will this make anybody see what’s happening here? Probably not. People are mad, and suicidal to boot, all the while blind.
Item 2: Soy Boy Dictator Sam Page, the testosterone-free Executive of St. Louis County, has suffered the tragic loss of his Covid 19 lead policy-maker, who “died suddenly” (the new “safe and effective”) at age 37. No word on autopsy results, and there are those who are trying to blame a drug overdose. But it doesn’t smell right just the same. This woman was a “champion” for killing babies “reproductive health rights”, and mask and vaccine mandates, so please, she needs prayers for her soul.
Finally, the greatest hero for democracy in the world today banned the main opposition political party, along with several others. Here he is, pictured with Justin Trudeau, pansy-dictator of Canada, who also stood up for democracy so well just last month:

I link to this post at LRC blog for a few reasons, principally because it blames the French Revolution in an appropriate manner.

OK, I have said before that the question of the identity of the Holy Father is of waaaaay more importance to the average Catholic than the “above my paygrade/keep my head down and try to get to heaven” contingent lets on. Getting it right is the key to unraveling the disaster of heresy and tyranny that has been promoted for the last nine years. It is the key to defense of the Mass and Sacraments.
And it is the key to the conversion of Russia, as our Lady of Fatima promised she would bring about after the Holy Father consecrates Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart in union with the Bishops of the world.
CAN YOU STILL TELL ME IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO IS POPE?
The consecration of Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart will be the solution to all of the evil, satanical forces that have made, are making, and will further make, a kind of hell on earth. She will triumph. It is our deliverance.
But the consecration of Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart by an antipope, even if —ahem— it were done in good faith, could be an occasion of the loss of faith of millions and perhaps even despair, should this consecration not be satisfactory. I’m not Our Lady, but one would think this type of consecration would not suffice by a long shot. Again, I claim zero knowledge or authority to decide that; I’m just thinking out loud here.
It is not hard to imagine that, when this consecration is made, if the conversion of Russia does not happen and a period of peace does not ensue, many may lose their confidence in Fatima, their confidence in the Church, or perhaps just lose their faith entirely. You know– a distilled and immediate version of what has happened by slow drip from 1962-2022.
On the other hand, perhaps Our Lady, in the plan of God’s holy Providence, has decided to show a definitive proof of the identity of the Pope. If Bergoglio consecrates Russia and it works, maybe he really is pope. Mea culpa from me. But if he does his consecration and nothing good happens, would that by itself be enough to confirm the Benedict is still Pope? We shall see.
Only the Pope could have answered the dubia. Only the pope can consecrate Russia according to Mary’s request.
If Cardinal Burke, or any Cardinal for that matter, or any active Bishop, or perhaps Archbishop Vigano, could see his way to address at last the identity of the Pope publicly, please? Not that it is strictly speaking relevant to the question of whether the putative abdication was valid, but it could really help to strengthen those Catholics who are left.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

“Certainly the greatest defect we have in our prayers and in all that happens to us, particularly in that which concerns tribulations, is our lack of confidence. because of that lack we do not deserve to receive the help we desire and ask for. Now, such confidence always accompanies attentive faith, which is great or little according to the measure of our confidence. When Saint Peter and the other apostles were in the boat with their Lord, and noticed the storm come up, they became frightened and called upon His assistance. In that they did well, for it is to Him we should have recourse and from Him we should expect all our help. But when they saw the waves swelling higher and higher and their good Master still asleep, they became very excited and cried out, Lord save us! We are perishing! The Saviour reproved them, saying, ‘Ye men of little faith.’ [Matt. 8:24-36]. By this He meant, ‘How little your faith is, since on this occasion when you ought to show it all the more, you lack confidence. Since your confidence is little, so also is your faith.’”
— from a Sermon for the first Thursday in Lent, by St. Francis de Sales
