Russians who self-identify as CatholicIs Russia converted and is there world peace?

"Russia has but one plan: to capture the whole world. They will do this without heart or conscience. Therefore, know that I ask you again, as your God in the Trinity, I ask you to contact the Holy Father—through pen or prose, or the written script—to contact the Holy Father and beg him to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. This has not been done, My children." - Jesus, May 17, 1986

 

Is there peace in the world, the peace promised by Our Lady of Fatima? And is Russia truly converted and consecrated to Our Lady? The Catholic faithful had better be right in answering these questions. At stake are the lives and eternal salvation of countless people throughout the world. 

Is there peace? 

Our Lady of Fatima promised on July 13, 1917 that when Russia was properly consecrated by the Pope and all the bishops throughout the world, a period of peace would be granted to the world: "In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, and she will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." 

Is there world peace? Let's look at the facts. 

In 1999, the National Defense Council Federation declared: "The century is coming to a close with a third of the world's 193 nations embroiled in conflict....  The foundation listed conflicts in 65 countries in 1999, up from 60 the year before.... Though the number of wars and regional conflicts was up from a year ago, it was below the record 71 the organization counted in 1995. By contrast, the average in the late 1980's, near the end of the Cold War, was about 35." (Nandotimes.com, December 30, 1999) 

Abortions worldwideIn 2016, the WarsInTheWorld website reported 67 countries involved in military conflicts  (fought by 780 separate military groups), of the 195 nations in the world. 

So around 1/3 of the world is currently at war. 

Additionally there is the war on the unborn through the sin of abortion.  

World War II fatality statistics vary, ranging from 50 million to more than 80 million dead. The higher figure of over 80 million includes deaths from war-related disease and famine.  Abortion deaths each year alone approach the lower estimates for the entirety of World War II: "Between 2010-2014, the Guttmacher Institute estimates that approximately 56 million abortions occurred each year around the globe. This is up from an estimated 50 million abortions per year between 1990-1994." This statistic corresponds to what Our Lady of the Roses told us on June 18, 1986: "I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world."

Our Lady cannot lie. If there is no world peace, then Russia has not been consecrated. 

 

(a) Is Russia converted morally? 

Abortion: More people have been killed in abortion than in many world wars. No country can claim to be Christian and converted to Our Lord if it kills the innocent, under protection of law.  It should be noted that Russia was the first country to legalize abortion in 1920. According to the Federal Research division of the Library of Congress, as of 1998 Russia had the highest abortion rate in the entire world with two abortions for every live birth, amounting to 3.5 million abortions per year. In 2008, Russia had the second highest percentage of pregnancies aborted, 44.7%. In 2010, Russia's abortion rate was the highest of any country reported in UN data. 

Divorce: As of 2010, Russia had the highest divorce rate in the world. 

Child pornography: Russia is the second largest producer of child pornography in the world. As of 2011, child pornography was still legal in Russia. 

Percentage of Russians going to church: "Anatoly Rudenko, president of the Russian Bible Society, in an interview with the editor of the East-West Church & Ministry Report, 6 June 1997, maintained that the number of practicing Christians of all confessions in Russia today is no more than two percent, and probably closer to one percent." Zenit.org news service stated in 2002 that "only 1% of Russian Orthodox go to church." The Russian Orthodox church is the largest religious confession in Russia. A more generous percentage was given by a Pew survey conducted from June 2015 to July 2016. Pew reported that only 6 percent of Orthodox Christians in Russia said they attended church weekly. 

 

(b) Is Russia converted to the true Faith, the Roman Catholic Faith? 

Fr. Joaquin Alonso, the official archivist of Fatima, writes that "the 'conversion' of Russia is not to be limited to the return of the Russian people to the Orthodox Christian religions, rejecting the Marxist atheism of the Soviets, but rather, it refers purely, plainly and simply to the total, integral conversion of Russia to the one true Church of Christ, the Catholic Church."

So how is Russia doing, in its conversion back to the one, true, Catholic Faith? 

The European Social Survey (2014/16) reported that  0% (zero percent!) of Russians, 16-29 years old, self-identified as Catholics. 

Bishop Joseph Werth (the Catholic bishop of Siberia) warned in 2002 of a "‘new wave of persecution’ against the Catholic Church in the [Russian] federation…." Pope John Paul II stated in 2003 that the persecution of the Catholic Church in Russia is "a cause of great suffering for me." (Russia Reportedly Has a Blacklist of Catholic Priests, Zenit.org, Sept. 15, 2002) 

 

"Without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5) 

At the root of the problem is a lack of conversion among the Catholic Church leaders (Pope, cardinals, bishops and priests) and the Catholic lay people. They are doing their own will, instead of the will of God: "For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ's." (Philippians 2:21) For the most part, they are not leading holy lives. 

Jesus told His disciples, "if you love Me, keep My commandments." (John 14:15) 

The Bible says, "To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin." (James 4:17)  Our Lady of Fatima's message has been officially approved by the Catholic Church, as having come from God, yet God is not obeyed.  

It is enough to make the angels and our Blessed Mother weep. 

Remember that in the time of Jeremiah the prophet, God sent Jeremiah to the king of Israel and to the religious leaders of the time. They rejected Jeremiah and the instructions God had spoken through him. As a result, Israel was conquered and the temple destroyed, the king of Israel and his people were enslaved and brought to Babylon, just as Jeremiah had prophesied. 

The king, religious leaders, and people were too corrupt; they did not want to reform their lives and suffered the fate of their disobedience. 

A similar situation exists today, where God has spoken to the world through the Fatima, Akita, and Bayside apparitions, yet the Church leaders and people are too corrupt to listen. The Pope and bishops have been told to stop their compromising policies with communism; they have been told to rescind the Vatican-Moscow Treaty; they have been told to consecrate Russia, not the world. As Fr. Joaquin Alonso has stated, "the magnificent promises were linked to the consecration of Russia alone." (Alonso, Fatima Ante la Esfinge, ed. Sol de Fatima, 1979, p.111.)  

Many in the Catholic hierarchy continue to follow their own opinions to the destruction of the Church, instead of the perfect counsel that has been given to them by Our Lady.

What awaits us for this disobedience is unparalleled punishment, the greatest the world has ever seen, in keeping with the unparalleled evil of this current generation. 

 

The solution: Consecration of Russia, daily recitation of the Rosary and the First Saturdays reparatory devotion 

All members of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope, bishops, priests and laity, all share a duty to obey God's peace plan given at Fatima. 

The Pope and bishops: The Pope and all the bishops of the Catholic Church have been commanded to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Also, they have been told to promote the First Saturdays reparatory devotion. Neither of these two has been accomplished. 

The laity: The lay people must pray the Rosary daily for world peace (Our Lady of Fatima, May 13, 1917), follow the Ten Commandments ("Men must amend their lives, and ask pardon for their sins. . . . They must no longer offend Our Lord, Who is already so much offended."), and offer the First Saturdays reparatory devotion. These requests are minimally obeyed as evident by the few Catholics that pray the Rosary, attend weekly Mass, and go to confession. 

The gift of world peace cannot be granted until mankind obediently responds to the commands of God, expressed through Our Lady's message at Fatima and Bayside. 

 

"When she [Russia] is consecrated she will be converted, My children, and then you shall see the world of joy again." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985
