By Andrew Guernsey from One Peter Five<\/p>\n

In 1933, sixteen years after Our Lady\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s apparitions at Fatim\"\"<\/a>a, the future Pope Ven. Pius XII, then Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, Secretary of State to Pope Pius XI, made prophetic remarks in confidence to his friend Count Enrico Pietro Galeazzi. Cardinal Pacelli stated that Our Lady of Fatima\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s confidences to Sr. Lucia were a warning against the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153suicide\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of destruction of the liturgy and other dangers of altering the Faith. Pacelli made similar prophetic warnings in a subsequent conversation with a fellow curial cardinal.<\/p>\n

While these Pacellian remarks have appeared in truncated form in various traditional Catholic publications over the years, in honor of the 100th anniversary of Fatima, the entirety of Pius XII\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s prophetic remarks are printed here in a fresh English translation, as they appear in Pie\u00c2\u00a0XII\u00c2\u00a0devant l\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Histoire<\/em> [Pius\u00c2\u00a0XII\u00c2\u00a0Before History<\/em>] (1972) by Msgr. Georges Roche & Philippe Saint Germain (See appendix for the full context):\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suppose, dear friend, that Communism is the most visible among the organs of subversion against the Church and the Tradition of Divine Revelation. Thus, we will witness the invasion of everything that is spiritual: philosophy, science, law, teaching, the arts, the media, literature, theater, and religion.<\/p>\n

I am concerned about the confidences of the Virgin to the little Lucia of Fatima. This persistence of the Good Lady in face of the danger that threatens the Church is a divine warning against the suicide that the alteration of the Faith, in its liturgy, its theology, and its soul, would represent.<\/p>\n

I hear around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject her ornaments, and make her remorseful for her historical past. Well, my dear friend, I am convinced that the Church of Peter must affirm her past, or else she will dig her own grave.<\/p>\n

I will fight this battle with the greatest energy on the inside of the Church, just as outside of it, even if the forces of evil may one day take advantage of my person, my actions, or my writings, as they try today to deform the history of the Church. All human heresies which alter the word of God are so that a greater light might appear.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

[\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6]<\/p>\n

These underdeveloped peoples will save the Church, Eminence. A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God, that His Son is only a symbol, a philosophy like so many others. And in churches, Christians will search for the red lamp where Jesus awaits them, like the sinful woman crying out before the empty tomb: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhere have they taken Him?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n

Then, priests will rise up from Africa, from Asia, from America, formed here in this seminary of the Missions, who will say and who will proclaim that the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbread of life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is not ordinary bread, that the mother of the God-man is not a mother like others. And they will be cut to pieces to testify that Christianity is not a religion like others, since her head is the Son of God, and the Church is His Church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cardinal Pacelli\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s remarks are stunning prophesies of the current state of affairs in the Church, 84 years later. We are witnessing today that:<\/p>\n
