The Bayside Apparitions Bring to Light the Third Secret of Fatima

David Martin | The Daily Knight

While the world still awaits the release of the Third Secret of Fatima given by the Virgin Mary on July 13, 1917, the world has already received the gist of the Third Secret through the messages of Our Lady of the Roses as delivered through her apparitions at Bayside. These messages were transmitted through the late seer Veronica of the Cross during outdoor Rosary vigils held in Bayside Queens, New York (1970-1995) 1

Every message touches on this theme of the Third Secret, which is about Satan’s entry into the Church beginning at Vatican II. Consider this except from Our Lord’s message of June 18, 1986:

“On that date, as promised at Fatima, satan entered My Church upon earth. He brought with him his agents – and satan himself, the deceiver of all mankind – sat in on Vatican II and maneuvered all the outsiders to come in and distort My doctrines and distort the truth.”

This infernal infiltration of Vatican II eventually led to the capitulation of the Papacy to the Vatican Secretariat in 1972. This didn’t mean that the papacy was destroyed or nullified but simply means that the papacy since then has been held in the chains of a defiant Vatican bureaucracy run by the dark forces.

The good work of Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI was greatly suppressed by this Vatican cabal while a new secular religion from the abyss took precedence. This new religion especially mushroomed when Francis took the Chair of Peter in 2013. We speak of the new church of man prophesied by Ann Catherine Emmerich and other approved Catholic mystics, the same church of man often spoken of in the Bayside message. This is the new “synodal church” that calls for change and the scrapping of Catholic tradition. The Third Secret of Fatima prophesied this change and the takeover of Vatican II that brought about this change. Cardinal Ratzinger (later Benedict XVI) even told St. Padre Pio’s good friend Fr. Ingo Dollinger that the Third Secret of Fatima spoke of a “bad council” to come.

On July 25, 1977, the Blessed Virgin gave the following at Bayside:

“My children, the Council of Vatican II was started with good intent, but the doors were opened to all manner of heretics, causing a slow pollution of the Faith. My children, you must now awaken the pastors from their slumber! They have given themselves over to a new religion of man.” 

From those who have read the Third Secret we know that it concerned the great apostasy that would bedim the Church after Vatican II, but more specifically it concerned how Satan would capture and possess cardinals at the very highest levels of the Church and would use them to misguide the Church but in such a way that this would be done under the illusion of divine guidance. What many would call the Holy Spirit guiding the Church to a glorious “renewal” would in fact be the devil driving the Church to its own destruction.

At the direction of the Blessed Virgin, the Third Secret was to remain a secret until 1960 since it would be better understood then. In the words of the Fatima seer Sr. Lucy: “Then it will seem clearer” (mais claro). 

By 1960, the evils of Satan were already encroaching upon the Church, especially the evils of secularism, modernism, evolution, and feminist rights. Spiritual darkness was surrounding the Church but it was Vatican II that swung the doors wide open to allow this evil into the Church. This is why the Third Secret would be better understood then than in previous times.

The Urgency of Releasing the Third Secret

How much more would the Third Secret be understood today when all Hell is loosed in the Church? If the Vatican hierarchy is working around the clock to sow “cultural diversity” and LGBT living into the Church and is frantically attempting to merge the Catholic Church with other world religions, it testifies all the more to the truth of the Secret. It indeed speaks of the need to finally release the Third Secret.

The late Fr. Malachi Martin, renown exorcist, author, and advisor to three popes along with other enlightened clergy like the late Cardinal Luigi Ciappi and Fr. Nicholas Gruner make the point in their writings that the great apostasy in the Church would begin “at the top.”  The great apostasy indeed was generated from “the top” and filtered down to the man in the pew through a misguided body of bishops.

Satan Was Present at Vatican II

Consider now this excerpt from the Bayside message of May 13, 1978, when the Holy Mother said:

“They converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church."

If the devil continually lashes out against Bayside it is because it exposes his plots and machinations against the Catholic Church. Mary is the one who crushes the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15) and we see the power of her heel coming through in the Bayside message.

The message indeed has a marvelous way of unmasking and bringing the truth out of certain people, almost the way an exorcist is able to constrain the devil to reveal things. Time and again we see the folly of scoffers exposed when they try to down talk the Bayside message.

A Couple of Humorous Anecdotes

For instance, yours truly walked into a traditional Catholic bookstore and began perusing through some books. There was no one else in the store other than the man running the store. At one point the store manager directed his attention to me and blurted out, “These bishops!” I replied, “I beg your pardon?” The manager continued: “These bishops today are a bunch of heretics, you must not repose any confidence in their judgement!” I replied, “Well yes, the Mother of God herself has said that today’s bishops are doing wrong in their teachings and are misleading the Church.” The manager retorted, “Are you speaking of Veronica and Bayside?” I answered, “Yes I am.” The store manager said, “Don’t listen to her, she didn’t listen to her bishop!”

There was another such lunar case where quoting the message of Bayside triggered the foolishness of a woman as she began ‘blowing fuses.’ Our group placed a large ad in the LA Times about Bayside, so the woman responded by telephone to inquire as to what this was about. I gave her a basic rundown of the message including Christ’s disapproval of the presence of women on the altar at Mass. She ‘sweetly’ inquired, “But what’s wrong with that?” I replied, “It’s against the will of God and goes against 2000 years of Church teaching.” “But I mean what’s wrong with that?”, she kept insisting. So I quoted an excerpt of the message of October 2, 1987, where Jesus says:

“In the Holy Sacrifice that I left with you, I did not ask for women to be upon the altar, nor try to be a high priestess. They carry this on in the churches of satan; therefore, it shall not be carried on in My Church.”

At that she did a “Jeckle and Hyde” act and started repeating over and over with disgust, “Oh, what is this, ‘they carry this on in the churches of Satan, therefore it shall not be carried on in My Church,’ what is this, etc!” She had flipped, but it shows the power of Heaven’s message when quoted to those with demonic spirits. Every indication is that the woman was a satanic priestess for the Church of Satan. 

A Positive Message

Bayside might cause the demons to shriek but it offers consolation to those of well spirit. It enlightens people as to the truth of our times and what they must do to save their souls. And too, it provides us with the basic gist of the Third Secret of Fatima so that Catholics will be more encouraged to fight the battles of the Lord within the Church.

Because of the distressing times in which we are living, many today find themselves confused and anguished with the spiritual wind knocked out of them, so it is high time that they enlist in Mary’s army that they may be refreshed and on the winning team.

Jesus himself told the seer Veronica,

“The armies of Heaven led by My mother, shall vanquish the head of the serpent.”
