Act of Desecration, of Reparation, and the Earthquake

In 2005, in an unprecedented act of sacrilege, in the very Basilica of the apparitions at Fatima, Hindu priests took part in their pagan rituals, by invitation of the Shrine Authorities, in the very place where Our Lady appeared at Fatima and said “Do not offend my Son any more. He is already too greatly offended.” By the Church’s own laws (not tenth Century but twenty-first century laws) this act of desecration calls for the exorcsm and re-dedication of the Church. The Shrine officials at first denied that this Hindu ritual ever took place; then when photos were posted on the web they admitted it, but did not apologise. A very large assembly of devout, well-behaved Catholics from all over the world assembled for the Act of Reparation, led by the SSPX bishops. (Remember the poster: “What did you do during the Great War, Father?")

The following is first-hand account. Names have been suppressed. I vouch for authenticity, knowing A., B. & C. personally.

Dear friends,

A. & B. are back from the Pilgrimage of Reparation in Fatima. There are many tales to tell. The Trads were not allowed to offer Holy Mass in the Basilica or Chapel, of course - Hindu rites yes, trads no - but on Monday 22 August – Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary – a large Rosary Procession entered the Main Basilica for a Solemn Act of Consecration of Russia by the 4 SSPX Bishops, and other prayers of reparation. There was some manhandling of the trad. clergy by the "Guardians of the Shrine" who also put on extremely loud modern religious music the whole time they were there, not respecting their prayers, turning it off after they had gone. We heard that after this outrage Bp. Fellay went back into the Basilica and carried out an Act of Exorcism. B. went over, stepped over the rope and pleaded with them to turn the 'music' down. It was refused, of course (the official said to her, 'I understand, but they are traditionalists!'), & she was hustled out. C. commented "Ye'd have thought Our Lady would have performed a wee miracle during the Consecration".

And in the very same hour of the Consecration, Rome and a small surrounding area were struck by a Scale 4 earthquake.

This news did not filter back to the pilgrims at the Shrine for about two hours.

<< "For the region, it was pretty big and terrified a lot of people," said institute president Enzo Boschi.

Residents and workers throughout Rome fled their homes and offices as buildings in the Italian capital shook for around five seconds shortly after 2 p.m. (1200 GMT), but no injuries or damage were initially reported. Holidaymakers in Anzio and Nettuno and along the coast were seized by panic during the quake, which cracked the facades of buildings and sent chunks of plaster crashing to the street. About 70 people went to the hospital emergency room, some with scratches and scrapes, but most of them overcome by anxiety attacks, hospital officials told ANSA news agency. >>

God is not mocked!
