Loris Capovilla is also on display in the new digital book.  He was made cardinal (in 2014) by Pope Francis.  His testimony is found to be important regarding Fatima’s Third Secret and Pope John XXIII, who is also found in our fascinating ebook. Capovilla passed away in 2016.  
    It was shown by many who knew Pope John XXIII, a portly pope from 1958 to June of 1963, that John XXIII began the modernization process of the Catholic Church.   The faith of John was intense and pius, many agree, for a world of modern times, he dedicated himself in faith and adoration to the reformation of the Church through Vatican II.   Social and religious reforms touched mankind in a strong way.  John XXIII became a saint on April 27, 2014, but unfortunately,  I confess the very existence of the Catholic Church in America has been in decline for 50 years coincidentally when social and religious reforms began to be instituted by Vatican II itself.   It takes a grand event of faith to make a saint.  

    The trajectory of sainthood begins in “the saint's house”, in other words in the home environs of the candidate, and if sanctity does not exist there, how can one hardly become a saint?, unless there is a bending of the rules.   A saint according to tradition should live a life of specialness.  We must remember that for over 1,200 years in the history of the Catholic Church, elevating a person to sainthood has had strict processes and tradition. 
    Many youth of today do not know some of the actions regarding “his house”, which in respect to Fatima were unadmirable, if you think about it.
    In real and spiritual terms, the real modern numbers speak for themselves; and which are found in chapter 1 of the ebook.

   Can we blame him for the decline in church attendance, baptisms, parish priests, the decline of nuns and Catholic youth in parochial schools nationwide?   All the little groups of American youth may find it difficult to grasp the meaning of having 4.2 million students in Catholic schools in 1965 versus only 2.7 million in 2010. It does not click.   That is before their time, but they are very real statistics.   The question to pose is, “are those statistics that admirable?”


     Much of the Catholic school system of America had changed between 1944 when WW II was in full swing to 2014. The two words conducive to change is not very nice, in decline.

      Actually, first, the change was positive.  Really.  Numbers were going up in every sense of the word after WW II ended.   Then, a change of declining numbers from the mid-sixties that did not begin until coincidentally right after the inception of Vatican II.   The word “decline” is a recurrent theme of the last 50 years.  The chosen one for sainthood from the 1960 era has bad luck to be associated with that decline, doesn’t he? 

     Yet, the story goes beyond the frontiers of statistics.  
     When one includes the complete story of Fatima and not just the apostolate, the pius and sanctity associated with a bringer of “modernization”, the goodness of John XXIII, the interior of his house—and also the interior of his heart—has to be considered.  
     As detailed in the ebook, he was responsible for wedging a barrier between the world and the Blessed Mother, and also for choosing to balance a favor for the Soviet-influenced ministries, as he conducted his series of high-level conferences called the Second Vatican Council.  That was an era when the USSR was mighty.  

     That was a time when the Soviet Union exploded the most powerful nuclear explosion in the history of atomic warfare, at Novaya Zemlya (50 million tons [Mt] of TNT, on Oct. 30, 1961.)   A time of spies, the embargo of Cuba, the Berlin Wall was just new, the tension associated with fallout shelters and nuclear strikes.  [The first 19 mins is the best.]  

 Did you know that on July 9, 1962, the United States exploded a 1.45 megaton (equivalent to 1.45 Mt of TNT) nuclear bomb in space? 250 miles above the Pacific that filled the night skies of Honolulu with extraordinary light?  

 

     When you order the wonderfully, informative ebook, Alert: For The Times you will receive a free research document exclusively written and compiled by Robert C. Valentine called KEYPOINTS of history, full version.

      It is composed of four distinct parts.

     The full version contains 220 historical keypoints--correction, over 341--such as when Cardinal E. Tisserant and Metropolitan Nikodin—in full accord with the “Sergius Adaptation” of 1927, —met secretly in Metz, France to finalize the Metz Pact, a hush hush step outside of world eyes to KO Fatima.   The early 1960s also saw the discovery of Russian missiles in Cuba.   And, the good outcome: the world powers signed a test ban treaty. 

 

 

     John XXIII during this time did everything he could to silence Fatima.  He took care to see that the Metz Pact of 1962 flushed through.  He forbade all talk of Fatima during his short papacy in the early 1960s!  Moreover, after he passed away, the manifestation of dislodging Fatima’s importance continued in Rome, for decades.
     It is sad to digest this part of history.   In his heart, we see that he transmitted nothing positive for the importance of Fatima.
    Since 1963, regarding his sainthood, one did not have enough evidence for his sainthood—however, in one moment, it is a mystery why, Pope Francis all of a sudden did away with the process of sainthood investigation.
    Sainthood represents specialness, and the pulse of evidence for 1200 years had normally been to have at least two citations of saintly miracles.  Not 1.  Not 100.  But, just two.  

     In the process of sainthood investigation, the Church investigations never could find one more miraculous event than one.   In an unprecedented action, Francis eliminated “old protocols of history”.   This was lucky for the sainthood of John XXIII, otherwise I don’t think we would have seen the novel transmission of two saints on an April Sunday of 2014, namely the canonization of two persons, John Paul II AND John XXIII.   On Sunday, April 27 the canonization of John XXIII and John Paul II had a 2 billion global TV and internet audience. Is the declaration of two popes declared saints on the same day unique?  Yes, that is something the Catholic Church and the Vatican had never done before on a public venue.
