5 MONTHS AND 20 DAYS BEFORE THE CLOSING OF VATICAN II
⦁ “are on the road to perdition” is Present Simple Tense.
This tense describes the present state or condition of something or an habitual action.
⦁ “and are taking many souls with them” is Present Continuous Tense.
This tense is used to show that an ongoing action is happening now, either at the moment of speech or now in a larger sense. It describes an activity that is currently in progress. The present continuous can also be used to show that an action is going to take place in the near future. Consequently, Our Lady’s own words were meant for right then, at that very moment, on this particular date in 1965 and continuing during the Second Vatican Council. Please take a moment to think about what that implies.

“This message given by the Most Holy Virgin in Garabandal is the same that She gave in Fatima, but it is updated for our time.” - Bishop João Pereira Venâncio, Bishop of Leiria-Fátima, declared during an interview with Abbé Alfred Combe from France on 21 July 1983
⦁ Bishop Venâncio is the same man who had access to Sister Lucia of Fatima, who gave a detailed description of the Third Secret contained in the wax-sealed envelope by holding it up to a bright light, who officially commissioned a complete critical history of the apparitions, who had first-hand knowledge of everything that happened as the Bishop of the Diocese, and who twice personally visited with Conchita González of Garabandal at her home in New York.

“There was a second appearance [of Our Lady] this time in Spain in Garabandal […] The message was very dire. Repetition of the Third Secret in brief form.” – Father Malachi Martin, declared during a radio interview on “Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell” on the 81st Anniversary of the Third Secret of Fatima on 13 July 1998
⦁ Father Malachi Martin is the same man who read the text of the Third Secret of Fatima in February 1960, who was an advisor to Pope John XXIII, and who spoke with Conchita González of Garabandal in New York.

When Pope Benedict XVI was still Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, (around 1990) he revealed to his friend, Father Ingo Döllinger, that in the Third Secret of Fatima Our Lady warns not to change the liturgy. Our Lady warned against changing the Mass and that there would be an iniquitous Council in the Church. – The first published account of Father Ingo Döllinger’s testimony, of which we are aware, appeared in an interview with Father Paul Kramer in The Fatima Crusader, Issue #92 in May of 2009.

In 1975 Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani, former Head of the Holy Office and Head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, stated that “he believed in the supernatural character of Garabandal.” Cardinal Ottaviani also said, “We must pray a great deal, so that the Church may acknowledge Garabandal.” - Jacques Serre and Béatrice Caux, Garabandal: Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, p. 234
⦁ Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani is the same man who personally spoke with Sister Lucia of Fatima in May 1955, who read the Third Secret of Fatima, who spoke with Conchita Gonzalez of Garabandal in mid-January 1966 at the Vatican, who wrote the Circular Letter to the Presidents of Episcopal Conferences regarding some sentences and errors arising from the interpretation of the decrees of the Second Vatican Council on 24 July 1966, and who wrote a critique of the Novus Ordo Missae known as "The Ottaviani Intervention" on 25 September 1969.

In 1933, sixteen years after Our Lady’s Apparitions at Fatima, the future Pope Ven. Pius XII, then Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, Secretary of State to Pope Pius XI, made prophetic remarks in confidence to his friend Count Enrico Pietro Galeazzi. Cardinal Pacelli stated that Our Lady of Fatima’s confidences to Sr. Lucia were a warning against the “suicide of altering the Faith.” Pacelli made similar prophetic warnings in a subsequent conversation with a fellow curial cardinal. Cardinal Pacelli said:
“Suppose, dear friend, that Communism is the most visible among the organs of subversion against the Church and the Tradition of Divine Revelation. Thus, we will witness the invasion of everything that is spiritual: philosophy, science, law, teaching, the arts, the media, literature, theater, and religion."
"I am concerned about the confidences of the Virgin to the little Lucia of Fatima. This persistence of the Good Lady in face of the danger that threatens the Church is a divine warning against the suicide that the alteration of the Faith, in its liturgy, its theology, and its soul, would represent." [...] - Msgr. Georges Roche & Philippe Saint Germain, Pie XII devant l’Histoire [Pius XII Before History], Paris: Robert Laffont, 1972, pp. 52-53

On 29 September 1978, Father Francis Benac, S.J., interviewed Mari Loli at her home in Massachusetts.
Fr. Benac: Your mother told me that one night you were upstairs with your father and that you cried and cried for one hour. Afterwards your father said to her: “I have just seen the most touching sight. Loli was crying the whole time while saying, ‘Oh, it’s going to be like that? People are going to suffer like that? Oh, make me suffer!’” Do you remember what you said at the time?
Mari Loli: It was all related to communism and what is going to happen in the Church and to the people because all these things are to have repercussions amongst the people. When the Church suffers confusion, the people are going to suffer too. Some priests who are communists will create such confusion that people will not know right from wrong. - "The Call of Garabandal", April-June 1984

"During May of 1976, Father Eusebio Garcia de Pesquera spoke also with Jacinta’s mother, María. She told him that she had heard repeatedly from her daughter that affairs were going to go very bad for the Church, that the Eucharist would constantly be given less importance, that many priests would become worse and worse, and that wickedness would spread everywhere." - Eusebio Garcia de Pesquera, O.F.M., CAP., She went in haste to the Mountain, Translated from Spanish by B. Miller, Gerard Suel and Otto Miller Second English Edition of 1981 original translation published unaltered in one volume in 2003 pdf p. 577-578.
