The Fatima Crusader Interviews Father Paul Kramer, The Fatima Crusader, Issue No. 8
Q - Fatima Crusader: How would you sum all of this up?
A - Fr Kramer: From the evidence we have discussed, this much at least seems clear: The Church will undergo a great apostasy among many of Her members, which is plainly already underway. Then there will be a world war in which much of the world's population will die, the Church will be persecuted as never before and driven underground, and Rome itself may possibly be devastated. This is the scenario that fits perfectly the Third Secret vision, where the Pope is executed and prominent churchmen and lay people have been slaughtered in a half-ruined city. And that is why Cardinal Ratzinger, when he spoke of the Third Secret in 1984, mentioned the dangers "to the faith and the life of the Christian, and therefore [the life of] the world." Both the Church and the world will suffer catastrophe. Given Cardinal Ratzinger's admission that Fatima and Akita are essentially the same message, no other conclusion seems reasonable.
So, when one considers the apparitions of Our Lady of Good Success, Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Akita, the statements of John Paul II at Fulda, the admissions of Cardinal Ratzinger, of Cardinal Ciappi and the revelations of Malachi Martin, they all add up to the same thing: Apostasy in the Church leading to a horrible Global Chastisement, with much of the world's population being extinguished almost instantaneously.
Q- Fatima Crusader: Is there no hope, then?
A - Fr Kramer: On the contrary, as Our Lady of Good Success said, there is great cause for hope, even if we do not avoid the worst happening. Indeed, Our Lady of Fatima Herself said that Her Immaculate Heart will triumph, no matter how late the Consecration of Russia is finally done.
Even if the worst happens, the formerly Catholic nations will rediscover their faith under persecution and in the midst of the world's desolation by war. Then the Pope will consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart and Russia will be converted. The Asiatic and Islamic invaders will be driven out of Europe [Editor's Note: With the help of the converted Russian invaders. Cfr. Prophecy of St. John Bosco, as explained in Fatima: Tragedy and Triumph, Frére François de Marie Des Anges, English Translation 1994, pp. 319-355]. God will intervene and we will see then the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
But the question remains: Since Our Lady's prophecies are still conditional, will we avoid the worst of those prophecies before Her Triumph occurs? Or will we have to suffer the full consequences first? The outcome depends entirely on the Pope and the bishops doing what Our Lady of Fatima requested, and that in turn depends upon the bishops, priests, religious, and lay people doing enough prayer and penance and reformation of their own lives.
