When I hear ANYONE nitpick about specifics, orthodoxy, or otherwise dismiss Spiritual Intent based on technicalities - I really only become suspicious of the individual.
His argument is absurd. “Catholics do not count mass baptisms. They have to be individually done or they don’t count.”
By that logic for Russia to be consecrated wouldn’t it have taken every individual in Russia to be consecrated?
These sorts of pedantics remind me of the Pharisees, quite frankly - not to come off as negative.
Can you imagine Christ saying “nah. I am going to need a line. This will take awhile but trust me it’s worth it.”
consecration, an act by which a person or a thing is separated from secular or profane use and dedicated permanently to the sacred by prayers, rites, and ceremonies. While virtually all cultures and religions have some form of purification rite, consecration is especially associated with Christianity and Judaism.
Again here:
In 1517 Martin Luther said “yes” to God, “yes” to Christ, “no” to the Catholic Church and “no” to the Pope. He claimed to have fidelity to God and Our Lord, but rejected the Church. Yet, it is impossible to remain faithful to Christ while rejecting His Bride, the Church.
So the author is saying all Protestants are not Christians.
I know many Catholics - they fail to agree with The Church as it stands, presently. Literally they see a Jesuit & possibly The Last Pope.
According to this text I am not a Christian. I fail to reconcile that logic with the Jesus of Matthew, Luke, John, and onward.
Jesus was about accepting anyone willing to turn to him - not only things abiding to strict doctrine & orthodox principle.
Truly - some of us can’t help but build rigid walls of ideology. Add spiritual salvation into that mix and you end up with a unadulterated system more likely to drive people away from The Kingdom of God than toward it. This was the case, for me personally, most of my life.
Christ gathered, specifically, those who the Pharisees saw as “unclean”.
Miracles clearly happen. I believe in far less public or documented ones.
As Q said it - how many coincidences until mathematically impossible? I snapped to late in life. My father felt very deeply we not be pushed toward religion. Largely I think he knew we were intensively rebellious. Lol maybe he thought “i just don’t tell them to do what I want them to do and there is a higher chance they do it? Ok.”
Either way I hit some extreme rock bottoms.
I should be dead. There is no possible explanation that I am not outside of God loving me / having plans for me.
Now I understand what He wants. It just took me learning how to shut up and let Him talk.

So at Fatima when Mary said to have Russia consecrated to her Immaculate Heart, what did she mean by that?

Protestants are not proper Christians, no. They are out of communion with the Catholic Church which was started by Jesus.
You're not Catholic yet you believe in the Fatima apparition?
Correct.

Pope St. John Paul II consecrated the entire world, obviously including Russia, to God and the Blessed Mother in 1984.
