At the Second Vatican Council, something shocking happened: The Blessed Virgin Mary was pushed aside. A schema dedicated to her role in salvation was discarded. Cardinal Josef Frings and his peritus, Joseph Ratzinger, argued that a separate document on Our Lady would alienate Protestants. The vote succeeded. Our Lady, in effect, was asked to leave the wedding feast.

Consequences followed. The Council remained silent on communism, a secret agreement with Moscow ensured no condemnation. The Church stopped calling for Russia’s conversion. The Fatima message was marginalized. And the errors of Russia spread throughout the world.

Dr. Hickson also brings testimony from Bishop Bernard Fellay and Bishop Joseph Strickland, both affirming that Pope Francis’ 2022 consecration of Russia fell short of Heaven’s precise requests. Russia was not named exclusively. The call to conversion was absent. The First Saturday devotion was ignored.
