Wars Since Beginning of 20th Century

Wars Since Beginning of 20th Century

PURPOSE

The purposes of this grim listing are to:

(a) Illustrate the price the children of God have paid for the failed Evangelization effort of the Roman and Orthodox Catholic Churches.

(b) Illustrate the price the children of God has paid - and still is - for the disobedience of the Roman Catholic Church Hierarchical Administration to the requests of the One Whose Name they have exploited to enrich themselves - the Most Holy and Ever Virgin Mary.

BACKGROUND

“You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go; to save them, 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 will have peace; the war (referring to WW I) is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will start (referring to WW II) during the Pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that it is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, hunger, and of persecutions of the Church and of 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 (Russia) will spread her errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecutions of the Church, the good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated: finally my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, which will be converted, and peace will be granted to the world for some time. In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved, etc.” (here commences the undisclosed portion of the original secret (1)(2)).

The Virgin Mary at Fatima - 1917

[Note: The comments within parenthesis were added by The M+G+R Foundation to ensure that the reader understands what Our Lady meant.]

The above requests were summarily ignored by the controlling Hierachy of the Roman Catholic Church - starting with the Popes. To add insult to injury, hundred of millions of dollars have been made by the Roman Catholic Church by marketing the Apparitions of the Most Holy Virgin Mary.

CONCLUSIONS

The reader may draw his/her own after pondering upon what Jesus assured us of:

And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. [Matthew 21:22]

while through John we learn the conditions required...

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. [John 15:7]

and...

Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do. [John 14:12]

It seems that dictionaries could be enriched by adding to the definition of the word "failure" another defining illustration - "Christian Evangelization effort".

The failure was not due to the Christian faith in general, nor the Catholic faith in particular (4). The failure was the result of turning the Evangelization effort into a very lucrative business by those entrusted with such glorious task (5).
