There recently is considerable scuttlebutt principally but not exclusively communicated in podcasts by John-Henry Westen and Jeff Rense with Father Paul Kramer regarding the 3rd Secret and Canada. Father Kramer repeatedly stated that in 1950 Pope Pius XII read the 3rd Secret and in the presence of some Cardinals that are rumored to attend the reading, Pius XII said, “Pauvre Canada” (Poor Canada) citing a book written by Joseph Albert Pelletier, Fátima, Hope of the World, and specifically referring to page 151.
Yet in this book, on page 151 in the month of July of 1951, “the author of the book explicitly asked twice the Bishop of Leiria, Dom José Alves Correia da Silva, if the Pope knew the secret. The Bishop had secured a copy of the 3rd Secret in his “diocesan archives” kept in a sealed envelope as instructed by the Blessed Virgin Mary to Lucy of Fátima. On the first occasion, the Bishop simply answered: “No.” On the second time, his answer was a little longer, but essentially the same: “No. If the Pope has been acquainted with the secret, I have not been notified of the fact.”
Father Schweigl, who had been entrusted by Pope Pius XII to see Sr. Lucy, questioned her on September 2, 1952. Fr. Schweigl later stated that the 3rd Secret has two parts: one is about the Pope and the other refers to the words, "In Portugal, the dogma of the faith will always be preserved." Notice nothing stated about Canada. The message clearly focused on the faith. Also note that Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, under Pope Pius XI made prophetic statements regarding the dangers that threatened the Church (and he had not read the 3rd Secret at that point).
Additionally, it was Roncalli, not Pope Pius XII that opened the Secret and stated that the Secret, “does not pertain to the years of my pontificate.” This confirms that Pope Pius XII did not read the Secret. According to Cardinal Ottaviani and Monsignor Capovilla, secretary of Pope John XXIII, the envelope was still sealed when Roncalli opened it in 1959, one year after the death of Pope Pius XII. Pope Pius XII had apparently decided to wait until 1960. He died on 10/9/58 without having read it.
Regardless of the apparent misrepresentation by Father Kramer referring to Poor Canada, he also conflates this reference to the “annihilation of nations” referred to by Our Lady of Fatima – indicating that the 3rd Secret referred to Canada being wiped out by some sort of environmental catastrophe. The problem remains that Pope Pius XII did not read the 3rd Secret in 1950. Unfortunately, neither Westen or Rense did any due diligence to verify Fr. Kramer’s claims.
Father Kramer also refers to Saint Pio of Pietrelcina foretelling such a disaster regarding Canada. Unfortunately, Father Kramer ignores the fact that Saint Pio was extremely reluctant to convey prophecies other than pertaining to spiritual matters and the Church. The late Father Gabriele Amorth, the famous exorcist, who personally knew and was befriended by Saint Pio, conveyed to José María Zavala in 2011 that Pio’s concerns, prayers and associate efforts pertained primarily the loss of faith within the Church and the Consecration of Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart and not prophetic worldwide calamities. Furthermore, Zavala asked Amorth the following: “Did Padre Pio say anything else to you about future catastrophes: earthquakes, floods, wars, epidemics, hunger …? “Nothing of the sort mattered to him, however terrifying they proved to be, except for the great apostasy within the Church. This was the issue that really tormented him and for which he prayed and offered a great part of his suffering, crucified out of love.”
Furthermore, Zavala asked, “forgive me for insisting on the Third Secret of Fatima: Did Padre Pio relate it, then, to the loss of faith within the Church?” Father Gabriele furrowed his brow and stuck out his chin seeming somewhat very affected and said, “Indeed, one day Padre Pio said very sorrowfully : ‘You know, Gabriele? It is Satan who has been introduced into the bosom of the Church and within a very short time will come to rule a false Church.” Keep in mind Pio communicated this to Amorth in 1960 which is coincidentally the timeframe/ deadline to release publicly the 3rd Secret to the world.
On my website, www.nichscafeendtimes.com there is a video which presents what is purportedly the actual hand-written copy of the 3rd Secret. This 3rd Secret clearly corroborates what Saint Pio conveyed to Father Amorth in 1960. You are invited to watch the video and contemplate what it conveys.
It is important to realize that Saint Pio avoided sensational prophecies associated with worldly events. His prophecies, including references to the Three Days of Darkness worldwide applied to the challenges of heresy, schism and corruption of the institution called the Roman Catholic Church and the salvation of souls in these perilous End Times. Too many unsubstantiated and sensationalize claims are made of what St. Pio reportedly stated as prophecies associated with worldly events. As Catholics we should test their sources and ascertain their authenticity or lack thereof. This particularly applies to the efforts of Rense, Westen and others who use the popular Catholic priest, Fr. Paul Kramer as "Click Bait"to get Christians to peer into their websites/ blogs.
Please pray for Father Paul Kramer. In recent months, he apparently is having great difficulty communicating correctly what he has studied/ learned over the decades. In my humble opinion, he is a shell of his former self. I personally have witnessed his cognitive and physical challenges on a number of topics related to these End Times, for example the above, and also prophecies pertaining to Garabandal and references to the book written in 1797 and published in 1856 titled, The Day of Wrath/ Hand of God on an Empire, which I also published in English on my website for free.
By the way, regarding the 3rd Secret and World War III, be advised that President Trump is threatening to pull the USA out of NATO. U.S. withdrawal would cause a global power realignment, emboldening our adversaries, the Russians and Chinese, and forcing Europe into a military scramble that presently they are unable to address effectively – especially given their individual nations are about to enter into uncivil war. The security vacuum that would arise definitely plays into Russia/ Putin’s strategic plan. Russia wants the USA out of Europe entirely. Numerous Catholic prophecies indicate that Russia and its allies will drive successfully nearly all the way across Europe to the brink of Brittany, France and conquer Rome before God intervenes to save “The Elect”.
Canada is the least of the USA’s worries. World War III is blooming. Watch, prepare and pray.
