He added, “We know that by experience and also because of what Sister Lucia wrote Cardinal Carlo Caffara in 1981.” In a 2008 interview, the cardinal revealed, “In that letter we find written: ‘The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about marriage and the family.’ Don’t be afraid, she added, because whoever works for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be fought against and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue. Then she concluded: ‘Nevertheless, Our Lady has already crushed his head.’”
And as Gress pointed out: “Mary has said that moral degradation will lead to natural disasters and war.”
“But there is hope,” Carollo emphasized. “The Fatima message is nothing more than a reiteration of the Gospels.”
“If there was no hope for people, God would not have sent his mother,” Carollo added. The fact the littlest seers were canonized 100 years after the apparitions, he believes, is “a Fatima gift from God for today and a gift for the future.”
