Why did Mary specifically mention Russia in Fatima?

But a good hymn can focus John’s attention on the gospel, ideally without John even noticing the hymn as such.

If it lead to focus on the gospel.

And the keyword is if

Otherwise, “distraction” instead of “focus”
on God, the focus goes to ‘mother of god’

True.

Btw, Mary is recognized as Mother of God in public revelation, too.

The spread of atheism is not only in Russia. Here, where I live, which is far far away from Russia, atheism is majority

Mary is the mother of Jesus in Luke 2.

I deleted my response as I was starting to go off topic.

maybe it’s the common things the orthodox and heretics shared with islam or maybe Muhammed copied them

Which heretics are you referring to here ?

varaity of syrciac gnostic sects like the Encratites

I just wondered why Mary would mentioned Russia specifically, a big communist power, and not a different communist power like China?

Russia was the leader of the USSR, and the two political entities were used interchangeably in regular parlance. During the era of the USSR it was a bigger threat to the world than the PRC was, and was more expansionist as well.

This thread presupposes some acceptance of Catholicism. It presupposes acceptance or compatibility on some level of the private revelation related to Fatima.

The only posts should be, given those parameters, why is Mary reported as referring to Russia…as compared to not referring specifically to Russia.
