The "Canonizations": CFN interviews Professor Roberto de Mattei

In a monumental interview conducted by Catholic Family News with Professor Roberto de Mattei, the topic of "The Canonizations" was deeply explored.

Flashback: The Consecration of Russia is Not Accomplished

The visages of past events loom over current dialogues, pointing particularly to the starkly contrasting statements regarding the Consecration of Russia.

Headlines regarding the Consecration foster even more confusion, as Sister Lucy's testament appears to have undergone an inexplicable transformation. Claims that the consecratory act desired by the Virgin Mary was fulfilled clash with the previous clarity of her original testimony and the absence of the promised conversion of Russia—raising serious questions within the Catholic community about the veracity of the subsequent Vatican statements.

The message of Fatima, often viewed through the lens of devotion or skepticism, recently found a different perspective. It was portrayed through pronounced Vatican communiqués as a mere element of the past—a 'gently debunked' cult rather than a clarion call for action. This, paired with the abrupt change in the legacy of Sister Lucy's accounts, poses a disquieting disconnect from the steadfastness that characterized her earlier life.

Over Half a Century of Consistency: Russia Must be Consecrated by Name

Detailing over 55 years of Sister Lucy's unwavering dictum, Professor de Mattei dissects the core of her message that Russia—not the world—needed a consecration by the Pope in union with all bishops. This has invariably remained the axis of Sister Lucy's vision, now clouded by the contradicting accounts.

Travel, a physical journey across lands, bears a striking resemblance to the metaphorical journey of the Catholic Church as it seeks spiritual truth and clarity. Just as travelers seek authenticity in their experiences, navigating various perspectives and historical contexts, the Catholic faithful journey through a landscape marked by tradition, messages, and the guiding star of Fatima. Both journeys, however esoteric and empirical, strive towards a destination of enlightenment and understanding.
