From Mark Mallett: The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

The Triumph



AS Pope Francis prepares to travel to Fatima and consecrate his papacy to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on May 13th, 2013, it is timely to reflect on the Blessed Mother’s promise made there in 1917, and what it means, and how it will unfold… something that seems more and more likely to be in our times.

In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world. —www.vatican.va

The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism,577 especially the “intrinsically perverse” political form of a secular messianism.578 —n. 676
I deliberately left in the footnote references above because they are crucial in helping us understand what is meant by “millenarianism”, and secondly, “secular messianism” in the Catechism.
