Roberto de Mattei

To the detriment of countless souls, the majority of the bishops refused to obey Our Lady of Fatima.

The Italian historian, Professor Roberto di Mattei, explains that numerous bishops had asked the Pope during the Council for the consecration of Russia.

He writes, on February 3, 1964, Monsignor Giraldo de Prozesego personally delivered to Paul VI a petition signed by 510 prelates from 78 countries, which implored the pontiff in union with all the bishops to consecrate the world and, in an explicit manner, Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The pope and most of the council fathers ignored the appeal.
