Get the Consecration Done Already, or Again..

Considering the news out of  Crimea, Ukraine etc. lately I am beginning to see the point made by those who claim that the consecration of Russia asked for by Our Lady at Fatima really has not been done. Or at least not properly, in accordance with the instructions given by Our Lady. Which really is saying that it has not been done.. 

I know the argument that the collapse of the Soviet Union -much lamented by such diverse characters as Putin and H.E. cardinal Koch- as well as the communist block in general, is given in evidence that the consecration was done. I have seen some of the texts, which do seem to fulfill at least some of the requirements. They mention consecration to the Immaculate Heart, they talk of Russia (Pius XII) or "the people of the Russias" (in praesenscunctos Russiarum populus). Paul VI did consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on November 21st 1964 and while it was certainly done in the presence of the bishops gathered for an ecumenical council, he failed to specifically mention Russia. John Paul II did do some consecrations but was, it seems, both vague when it came to Russia, nor apparently did he include the world wide episcopacy as stipulated by Our Lady. This last, collegial requirement, seems to be what is most usally missing in the various consecrations.


Meanwhile, errors continue to spread out of Russia..
