Pope John Paul II did not consecrate RUSSIA, as Our Lady requested. I spoke to him about it in 1996. I have the pictures to prove it.
To obey the Mother of God is not being more Catholic than the Pope …the Blessed Virgin Mary asked for :
1. The CONSECRATION not entrustment to Her Immaculate Heart
2. By the Pope
3. In UNION with all the Bishops of the World
None of these 3 requests have been done together…
This is the Thrice Holy Virgin Mary … better to trust in her judgement than in the Pope’s
But why not do exactly what Our Lady directed: consecrate Russia to the Sacred Heart of Jesus?
That way, the horrific “errors” of Russia for the past century would finally be stopped!!
if you read Pope John Paul II, this has already been done, unless of course, you are part of the “movement” this is “more Catholic than the Pope”………then no manner of consecration will ever be sufficient…….
