something i found many dont pay attention to is the consecration of france. it was said in sacred heart apparitions to margeret mary alacoque and referenced in fatima.
has this been done?
 
I found a very interesting article on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and found this:
In 1789, the dreary tale of the French Revolution began. As its earlier stages unfolded, many of the common folk sought refuge in the Sacred Heart; the period 1791-92 saw millions of its images spread among the populace. In the early months of 1792, virtually a prisoner in his palace, Louis XVI privately consecrated his Kingdom at last; moreover, he vowed that if restored to power, he would do so publicly. But the King was overthrown, and on August 10, 1792, the Royal Family became prisoners in the Temple. On January 21, Louis XVI was martyred, and his Queen, Marie Antoinette, followed him later in the year.

The article is a bit long, quite good, filled with historical references about the Sacred Heart devotion, and the consecration of France:

The Politics of the Sacred Heart
 
The link further states that the consecration has not been done. But it says about good developments. i think it is important france be consecrated. if it could have decreased the spread of atheism, anticatholicism, anticlericalism,etc, I still think it is necessary.
 
What the quote above leaves out is that the Sacred Heart apparitions took place in 1689. Louis XIV had ample opportunity to make the consecration in time, as did his successors Louis XV and Louis XVI. The latter was executed 100 years after the initial request, to the day, and thus began the revolution.
