ROSARY CRUSADE Promotional Material

[RosaryCrusader]

Below are links to promotional material for Bishop Fellay’s Rosary Crusade featuring relevant quotes, background info, and a Fatima primer to get people up to speed as well as other additional useful information.

Rosary Crusade-Two Sided Sheets.pdf

Rosary Crusade-Booklet.pdf

The two files are identical except for how they are to be printed and bound. The file TWO SIDED SHEETS.PDF is a traditional flyer, two pages, and is to be printed front and back (duplex). The BOOKLET.PDF when printed out will make a bi-fold booklet and you’ll need a booklet stapler in order to do this properly (picture at bottom). You can pick these up at your local office supply store for around $20 or your local print shop should be able to do this for you if you get them printed by a professional company.

Please print and distribute these far and wide - especially at Novus Ordo Churches! Show them to your Priests whether they be SSPX, FSSP, ICK, Novus Ordo etc… It doesn’t matter if your Pastor is liberal, conservative - whatever - give them a copy and ask if you can put a stack in the back of the Church. You’d be surprised at how even seemingly liberal Priests will give in to Our Lady’s gentleness and allow you to distribute these.* Send them to everyone you can via the internet! We need to rally everyone we can to stand with the banner of Our Lady!

The information provided on this promotional was intended to be as comprehensive as possible in such a little format. Anything longer and people would lose interest.

It’s a nice looking booklet.

. o O I’d like to see something like it coming from the U.S. Bishops for traditional spiritual causes rather than ‘social justice’ ‘donation’ flyers.

This booklet is excellent. It explains the Fatima message clearly and concisely, and answers all of the misconceptions regarding the Consecration in such a way that no reasonable person is left with any doubt that Consecration has not been done in accord with the requests of Our Lady of Fatima. From the booklet…

*But didn’t Pope John Paul II already
]consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart in
1984?

Following Fatima answers copyright 2009 By John Salza – Used with
Permission.

"First, neither John Paul II nor any other pope has ever declared that Russia has been consecrated according to Our Lady’s specific requests. Given the enormity of the Fatima
message and the grave consequences that will result if Our Lady’s requests are not heeded, one would think that the pope would issue a document or have a press-conference of sorts (like when Pope John Paul II and Lucia met in Fatima in 1991), telling the universal Church that the consecration has been accomplished. Doesn’t this make sense? Since the Vatican knows this is such a contentious and confusing
question with profound implications, why wouldn’t the pope clarify the matter for us?

In fact, after John Paul II performed his consecration of the “world” to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart in March 25,1984, the pope reportedly made some very confusing
statements about this consecration. Specifically, both the Italian newspaper Avvenire, as well as L’Osservatore Romano, reported that the pope declared that the
consecration according to Our Lady’s request was yet to be performed. The pope was reported as saying “Enlighten especially the people whose consecration and entrusting you are awaiting from us.” The report said the pope made this statement only hours after his consecration of the “world,” to about 250,000 people in St. Peter’s Square.

Second, many people claim that Sister Lucia stated that Pope John Paul II’s consecration in 1984 fulfilled the Blessed Mother’s request. However, it is documented that on at least five separate occasions in the 1980s, Sister Lucia said that the 1984 consecration did not satisfy Our Lady’s request (the most notable statement was reportedly made to the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Sante Portalupi). The rules of evidence refer to this as “inconsistent statements.” In a court of law, this would at a minimum neutralize Sister Lucia’s testimony, if not impeach her as a witness.

Moreover, Our Lady never employed Sister Lucia to be the one to declare when a valid consecration would be performed. Since the pope is the one making the
consecration and is the only person who knows his own intentions, it seems that the pope would have to be the one to declare whether or not the consecration has been
completed.

Third, we all know that Pope John Paul II said the “world,” and not “Russia” in his 1984 consecration, even though Our Lady specifically requested that “Russia” (not the “world”) be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart. We also know that Pope John Paul II did not have the participation of the world’s bishops in the 1984 consecration. Why is this so important? First and most obviously, because the pope did
not follow verbatim what Our Lady requested. Second, and even more enlightening, previous popes effected similar consecrations that did not meet Our Lady’s request either (if they did, then John Paul II would not have performed his consecration in 1984 and would not have said the Russians “still await” the consecration). In fact, previous papal
consecrations were more in line with Our Lady’s requests than John Paul II’s consecration, and yet were still defective. For example, in 1942 Pius XII consecrated the
“world” to Mary’s Immaculate Heart, in union with all the bishops. John Paul II’s consecration in 1984 was even less conforming because he didn’t have the participation of the world’s bishops. Pius XII effected another consecration in 1952, which means that Pius XII believed his consecration in 1942 didn’t qualify. If Pius XII’s consecration in 1942 “world” with the bishops) did not qualify, how can John Paul II’s consecration in 1984 (“world” without the bishops) qualify?

As alluded to, in 1952, Pius XII consecrated “Russia” to Mary’s Immaculate Heart, but without the union of the world’s bishops. Again, this consecration evidently didn’t qualify either, first because Pius didn’t have the union of all the bishops, and second because Paul VI and John Paul II subsequently did their own consecrations in 1964 and 1984 respectively. These subsequent consecrations affirmed that Pius XII’s 1952 consecration didn’t qualify. Paul VI in 1964 did the same thing that Pius XII did in 1952, consecrating “Russia” without the bishops. If Pius XII and Paul VI’s consecrations (“Russia” without the bishops) did not qualify, then how can John Paul II’s consecration in 1984 (“world” without the bishops) qualify?

Oh common sense, how rare you are today. People would rather hold fast to lies, than believe the obvious truth.

Just a note since it was brought up on another thread:

This pamphlet was not published by the SSPX nor is it in any way officially endorsed by them and was in fact put together by non-sspx laymen, quoting non-sspx sources Fatima information by Catholic apologist John Salza - Errors of Russia information by a Priest of the FSSP both used with permission of the authors]

In other words: Everything in the pamphlet is by Catholics in “full communion” with the Catholic Church meaning juridically recognized] with the obvious exception of the quote from Bishop Fellay.

Hopefully that disclaimer will set the scrupulous at ease.
