APOSTASY NOW: 1960—Did the Vatican Disobey the Virgin? | E17

In 1960, the Vatican made a choice.

The Blessed Virgin had instructed that the full Third Secret of Fatima be revealed to the world no later than that year. But instead of obedience, the Church's modern shepherds—starting with Pope John XXIII—chose silence.

Dialogue over doctrine.

Innovation over tradition.

Human wisdom over divine command.

What were they so afraid of?

In this lecture, we return to 'False Friends of Fatima' by Christopher Ferrara to trace the devastating fallout of that decision. The Third Secret was not merely delayed—it was buried. Sister Lucia, the humble seer chosen by the Mother of God, was silenced. The faithful were deceived. And a counterfeit “renewal” swept through the Church.

The true story of Fatima is not just about a message. It’s about a betrayal. A tale of two camps—one that honors the Virgin, and one that fears what she revealed.

Most Catholics don’t even know about this. And the shallow “release” they gave us in the year 2000 should tell us everything we need to know.
