Fatima Secrets
"The Message of Fatima" by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
- Vision of hell
- Consecration and conversion of Russia
- The attempted assassination of John Paul II on 13 May 1981.
Consecration controversy
- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "The Message of Fatima," 26 June 2000
- Sister Lucia personally confirmed that this solemn and universal act of consecration corresponded to what Our Lady wished (“Sim, està feita, tal como Nossa Senhora a pediu, desde o dia 25 de Março de 1984â€: “Yes it has been done just as Our Lady asked, on 25 March 1984â€: Letter of 8 November 1989). Hence any further discussion or request is without basis.
