-THE FALSE MESSAGE OF “FR.” NICHOLAS GRUNER
One of the
most frequent questions that we receive concerns Our Lady’s statement at
“You see hell, where
the souls of poor sinners go. To save
them God wishes to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate
Heart. If they do what I will tell you,
many souls will be saved, and there will be peace. The war is going to end. But if they do not stop offending God,
another and worse war will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a
night illuminated by an unknown light, know that it is a great sign that God
gives you that He is going to punish the world for its crimes by means of war,
of hunger, and of persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this I come to ask the

First, in
examining this issue it is important for people to clear their minds of any
pre-conceived notions or prejudices in this area. They
must be prepared to take a fresh new look at the facts. Let’s jump right into this very important
issue:
FACT #1: POPE PIUS XII
CONSECRATED
Many know
that Pope Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in
1942. Many do not know that Pope Pius
XII specifically consecrated
I didn’t
know this until I began studying this issue in some depth. But this important fact is revealed even in
the books promoted by “Fr.” Nicholas Gruner’s apostolate.
Frere Michel de la Sainte Trinite, The Whole Truth About
This fact
can also be found in the book Fatima in
Twilight:
Mark Fellows, Fatima
in Twilight, p. 119: “The letter
went on to request that Pius consecrate
Here are
the words of Pope Pius XII:
Pope Pius XII, Sacro
Vergente Anno (Apostolic Letter), July 7, 1952: “…just as a few years ago We consecrated the entire human race to the
Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, so today We consecrate
and in a most special manner We entrust all the peoples of Russia to this
Immaculate Heart…”
Thus, it is an undeniable fact that
Pope Pius XII specifically consecrated
But didn’t
Our Lady promise that
FACT #2: OUR LADY
NEVER SAID THAT THE CONVERSION OF
The
question that we must re-examine is: did
Our Lady ever say that
“But of course it means that the entire
country will be converted to the Catholic Faith,” as one person told us, “for it couldn’t mean anything else!” This person even said that it is absurd to
think that Our Lady would ever use the word “conversion” to mean anything but a
conversion to the true Faith. Oh really? Well, this person may be surprised to learn
that in Proverbs 16:7, Almighty
God Himself uses the word “conversion” not to mean a conversion to the true
Faith, but the conversion of a persecuting enemy to peace (i.e. to a cessation of his
persecuting ways).
Proverbs 16:7- “When the ways of man
shall please the Lord, He will convert
even his enemies to peace.”
In fact,
what is striking is that Our Lady’s words of July 13 appear to be structured on
Proverbs 16:7: in the context of both, conversion is immediately linked with peace,
after a man fulfills the request of the Lord.

After
studying this issue in depth, and taking a fresh new look at the facts, I am of
the firm opinion that Our Lady’s words are structured on the promise of
Proverbs 16:7: the “conversion” of Russia does not mean the conversion of the
nation to the Catholic Faith, but rather the conversion of a persecuting enemy
(Russia) to a certain period of peace.
We will see exactly what this means as we go along, and that the

What is
HUGELY SIGNIFICANT is that Frere Michel admits that Sr. Lucy summarized this
communication at Tuy in a slightly different manner in two letters to Fr.
Goncalves:
Frere Michel de la Sainte Trinite, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. 2, p. 465: “[page after quoting what you just read]
Let us point out right away that in
1930, in two letters to Father Goncalves, Sister Lucy was to express in a
slightly different manner the requests of heaven… [Sister Lucy]: ‘The good Lord promises to end the
persecution in Russia, if the Holy Father will himself make a solemn
act of reparation and consecration of Russia to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and
Mary, as well as ordering all the bishops of the Catholic Church to do the
same. The Holy Father must then promise
that upon the ending of this persecution he will approve and recommend the
practice of the reparatory devotion already described.’”
So,

As we will
see, even Frere Michel, an author whose work is promoted by Nicholas Gruner’s
apostolate, admits that the Soviet
Union’s takeover of the Baltic nations and other small States during the period
of World War II, which it simply annexed to itself making them exist no longer, constituted the annihilation of
nations of which Our Lady spoke.

that:

processes whereby the political independence and territorial integrity of
the three small Baltic republics – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – were to be deliberately annihilated by one of their more powerful
neighbors, have been rapidly drawn to their conclusion.’” (Joint Baltic American

She said that
Sr. Lucy is
obviously reiterating Our Lady’s words about the annihilation of nations. However, if a nation were devastated by
nuclear catastrophe, it wouldn’t disappear.
It would still be visible, but as an empty and devastated
wasteland. The only way to make a nation
literally “disappear” is by erasing it from the map by incorporation into
another country, as happened with the
Soviet Foreign Minister, Molotov, to Lithuanian Foreign
Minister: “You must take a good look at reality and understand that in the
future small nations will have to

THE GOOD WERE MARTYRED
It is
simply a fact that countless Catholics were martyred at the hands of the
Frere Michel de la Sainte Trinite, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. 2, p. 764: “When, in a letter
of January 21, 1940, Sister Lucy
mentioned in connection with the war ‘the
blood spilled by the martyrs’, which in the end would appease the
divine wrath, and when Our Lady
announced in her Secret that ‘the good
will be martyred,’ how can we forget about these millions of Ukrainian or
Polish Catholics martyred by the Bolsheviks?”
A prime
example comes from
“On Holy Thursday of
1923, Msgr. Budkiewicz was martyred with frightful cruelty. Brutally pushed across a dark corridor, he
fell and broke his leg… Stripped of
his clothes and no longer able to walk, the martyr was dragged by the ears all
the way to the detachment of guards. One
of his ears had been severed. In the
gaping hole, he was given a revolver shot.
Father Walsh… heard the shot ring out among shouts, drunken singing
and bursts of laughter. So that no
relics would remain, the martyr’s body was burned and his ashes dispersed. And this
was the signal for a series of attacks against the hierarchy, clergy and laity,
many of whom were sent to the icy
prisons of Solowki on the

to Cardinal Pompili, Feb. 2, 1930: “This
past year during the Christmas holy days, not only were hundreds of churches
[in Russia] closed, great numbers of icons burned, all workers and
schoolchildren compelled to work and Sundays suppressed, but they even
compelled factory workers, both men and women, to sign a declaration of formal
apostasy and hatred against God, or else be deprived of their bread rationing
cards, without which every inhabitant of this poor country is reduced to dying
of hunger, misery and cold.
Among other things, in all the cities and in many villages… during the
Christmas holy days last year: they witnessed a procession of tanks manned by
numerous ruffians clad with sacred vestments, taking the cross in derision and
spitting upon it while other armored cars transported huge Christmas trees,
from which marionettes representing Catholic and Orthodox bishops were hung by
the neck. In the center of the city,
other young hoodlums committed all sorts of sacrileges against the cross.”

aside, this priest could have been spared the horrors of the labor camps if he

pointless.)

Cardinal Slipyi: “On April 11, 1945, I was arrested with all the other bishops. Less than a year later, over 800 priests had
followed us into captivity. From March
8-10, 1946, the illegal Synod of Lvov took place. Under atheist pressure it proclaimed the
‘reunification,’ and by the very fact, the
official liquidation of our Church was effected by brutal force. The
bishops were deported to every corner of the Soviet Union. Almost all of them have died since then, or
were killed in captivity… over 1,400 priests and 800 religious, to tens of thousands of the Faithful who in
captivity sealed, by the sacrifice of their life, their fidelity to the Pope,
the Roman Apostolic See and the Universal Church.” (WTAF, Vol. 3, p. 192)
It is a
fact that doesn’t need to be proven any further: the good were martyred in the
Soviet Union, in its Communist satellites, and in other countries, such as

ask: what about the persecution of the Holy Father, who will “have much to
suffer”? What is the meaning of
this? We find the answer in the
aforementioned message of Our Lord to Sr. Lucy from 1940:
Our Lord to Sr. Lucy, Oct. 22, 1940: “I will punish the nations for their crimes by means of war, famine and
persecution of My Church and this will weigh especially upon My Vicar on
earth. His Holiness will obtain an abbreviation of these days of tribulation if

The
persecution of the Church during this period – the torture and martyrdom of
priests and faithful, the suppression of ecclesiastical activity – weighed as
an incredible burden and torment on the Pope who felt responsible, yet
helpless, in the face of this tragedy.

message, the spread of

officers; 18,000 landed proprietors; 35,000 ‘intellectuals’; 192,000 workers;

after taking over
“In April 1919,
following Dzerzhinsky’s recommendation and with Lenin’s approval, the Soviet government ordered the
establishment of a network of concentration camps, at least one per
province, the first of its kind in history, which served as a model and
inspiration to Hitler and his Nazis and
was later to become infamous as the GULAG.
By 1923 the number of these camps had reached 315.” (Warren H.
Carroll, The Rise and Fall of the
Communist Revolution, p. 142)
It’s
important for us to get a glimpse of the horrors of the Gulag. For this purpose, I will quote from Warren H.
Carroll who, in turn, draws from Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s famed work, The Gulag Archipelago.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn as Gulag
labor camp prisoner scs 262
“The famine dealt out death at home, or as far
away from home as dying men could walk. The labor camps dealt out death afar…It seems almost presumptuous for any man to
write of the gulag, after Alexander Solzhenitsyn. He was in it; he made its theme his own;
he changed the world and history by what he wrote about it… Here we can only select, here and there, from Solzhenitsyn, and
annotate him – to give a bit of the sense, the flavor, the sound of the wind
from hell that blew across those killing grounds in the wilderness.”
(Warren H. Carroll, The Rise and Fall of
the Communist Revolution, p. 243)
Carroll
then proceeds to describe the labor camp at Orotukan:
“We may begin with
Orotukan. In the middle of the
second volume of The Gulag Archipelago,
Solzhenitsyn concludes a brief description of Orotukan (which he then locates only by a reference to the Kolyma River in far
northern Siberia), whose horrors sound as bad but no worse than those of
many other labor camps he has described, with this one stark sentence: ‘All
who survived Orotukan say they would have preferred the gas chamber.’ All who were there and survived, and
spoke about it, say they would have preferred death to survival?... On the

fifty degrees below zero – after completing their day’s work. These, still at Magadan, were the lucky
ones. The less fortunate were sent to begin building the road to

describes the
“The
‘At the end of the workday there were
corpses left on the work site.
The snow powdered their faces. One of them was hunched over beneath an
overturned wheelbarrow; he had hidden his hands in his sleeves and frozen to
death in that position. Someone had frozen with his head bent down
between his knees. Two were frozen
back to back leaning against each other. They were peasant lads and the best workers
one could possibly imagine. They were
sent to the canal in tens of thousands at a time, and the authorities tried to
work things out so no one got to the same subcamp as his father; they tried to
break up families. And right off they gave them norms of shingle and boulders that you’d
be unable to fulfill even in summer.
No one was able to teach them anything, to warn them; and in their
village simplicity they gave all
their strength to their work and weakened very swiftly and froze to death,
embracing in pairs. At night the sledges
went out and collected them. The
drivers threw the corpses onto the sledges with a dull clonk.
And in the summer
bones remained from corpses which had not been removed in time, and together
with the shingle they got into the concrete mixer.” (Warren H. Carroll, The Rise and Fall of the Communist
Revolution, pp. 248-249)
Besides the

Joseph Stalin, arguably the greatest
mass-murderer in history, leader of Communist Russia from 1924-1953
From
1930-1934, Stalin instituted the policy of “dekulakization.” Farmers that were opposed, or perceived as
threats, to the Communist policy of collectivization of farms were dubbed “kulaks”
and liquidated. This unspeakable tragedy
resulted in the deaths of 14.5 million:
“Who were these ‘kulaks’?... In May 1929 the Council of People’s Commissars formally defined a kulak
as any farmer who made any money whatsoever from any source or activity other
than the sale of agricultural produce grown in his own fields. Any outside income, any processing of goods
done on the farm (as by a small hand-operated mill), was sufficient to make a
kulak. When the campaign of liquidation was launched in 1930, from ten to
fifteen per cent of the small farmers in every region were arbitrarily dubbed
kulaks and liquidated. If there were not enough of them fitting
the May 1929 definition, others had to be added to fill up the quota. They could be selected by income level,
actual or apparent; by leadership in local villages… by opposition to forced
collectivization (a particularly frequent reason for designation as a kulak);
or simply by being devout Christians… It
was the first act of a farm holocaust from 1930 to 1934 that took ten million
lives by Stalin’s own estimate given to U.S. President Franklin
Roosevelt at
Here is the
harrowing account of Miron Dolot. Dolot
witnessed the deportations of these “kulaks” from his hometown to the labor
camps and other regions:
“A cold wind blew
snow on the unfortunates, who were not properly dressed, for they had not
been allowed to take warm clothing with them.
We wanted to help somehow, and
since we could assume that they would be banished to Siberia, we had to
get them some heavy clothing… Under
careful supervision of soldiers, a score of sleighs moved into the square. They were to take the arrested farmers out of
the village. Loading of six to eight
persons to a sleigh started immediately, controlled through the use of a list… husbands were separated from their wives,
and children from their parents… As one sleigh moved to join a column, a
young man sprang from it and raced toward another sleigh in which his helpless
and weeping wife and children were riding. The father obviously wanted to be with his
family, but he did not reach them. Comrade Pashchenko, the chairman of the
village soviet who was supervising the whole action, raised his revolver and calmly fired.
The young father dropped dead into the snow, and the sleigh carrying his
widow and orphans moved on.” (Warren H. Carroll, The Rise and Fall of the Communist Revolution, pp. 227-228)
“There are reports of ‘kulaks’ on trains to Kazakhstan or
Siberia, locked in cars each carrying fifty of them, with a loaf of bread and a
pail of tea or thin soup per day per ten people (on days when it was
delivered), crawling with vermin, unheated in winter, suffocatingly hot in
summer, throwing their dying babies out the windows to put an end to their
suffering.” (Warren H. Carroll, The Rise
and Fall of the Communist Revolution, p. 228)
