In 1846, Pope Pius IX condemned schemes aiming at the destruction of the Papal States by Freemasons. In 1851, Mélanie Calvat, the seer of La Salette, sent an account of her visions to the pope, including the prediction that “Rome will lose the Faith”. In 1907, Pope Pius X condemned the heresy of Modernism, which, he said, had infiltrated the Church. In 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary warned the seers of Fatima about the “errors of Russia”. Can these, and later developments in the history of the Church, be woven into a single narrative, which would pinpoint what really threatens her, and enable her loyal children to defend her more effectively?
