Question 100 – Was The Consecration Of Russia By Pope Francis Valid?

Transcript:

Who has the authority to state the validity? Who can claim their authority over this? Because the pope fulfilled the basic requirements of Our Lady better than all of his predecessors. We have to state this. He consecrated explicitly, not only to our Lady but to the Immaculate Heart, whereas John Paul II only used the formulation, “we consecrate and entrust to the Mother of God,” but Pope Francis stated specifically “to the Immaculate Heart” first, then he explicitly mentioned Russia, which no Pope before has ever mentioned. 

Well, Pius XII mentioned Russia but he did this without the bishops so he did not fulfill all the requirements of Our Lady in 1952. John Paul II made this with all the bishops but did not mention Russia, so it was also not valid. Pope Francis did this with all the bishops. He explicitly mentioned the Immaculate Heart and he added the expression “solemn” - to solemnly consecrate, which the previous Popes did not say and he explicitly mentioned Russia. 

Of course, he also mentioned Ukraine, ourselves, the Church, and all the people, but this does not invalidate it since Russia was already mentioned. On the contrary, in my opinion, the mentioning of other people and ourselves to consecrate together with Russia is a more perfect form even. Our lady did not say that the Pope must only consecrate Russia. She simply said, “Russia.”  Well, he mentioned Russia and then he added other people. This is very meaningful. 

This prayer is not magic. It does not automatically take effect. This is not Christian thinking; we are not God. We have to give time for this prayer to take effect in God's providence. This also depends on our conversion, of our parents, and of the Church - to convert really to the Eucharistic Christ, to His honor, and that they will know the effect of this consecration. Unless also that the Church, the Pope, and the bishops will start to protect our Lord in the Eucharist, and to abolish the communion in hand, this enormous desacralization of our Lord. 

We have to stop here in the Church – this desacralization and offense to our Lord objectively. And then from the Church’s conversion and ours, the conversion of Russia and peace in the world will then take effect. I repeat, only God can determine the time but it will come. Our Lady did not say this in the Fatima message, this is simply not true. Our Lady said on the 13th of July 1917 that the pope should consecrate Russia, in union with the bishops. She did not say that the pope must command, these are not the words of Our Lady. Maybe later in a message to Sister Lucia, she mentioned that the pope may command but we cannot validate this. 

The sacrament can also invite us to do this so we should not give this consecration the value of a sacrament, this is not Catholic. This is a private revelation that God gave to the Church, which the pope as the head of the Church can use at his discretion, observing of course the basic requirements which we have already mentioned.
