On October 13, 1973 (the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima), the Blessed Virgin appeared to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa and gave her the following message:
“If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.
“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres…churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.“

In January, Cardinal Robert McElroy of San Diego, California, wrote an article for America magazine in which he upended Catholic doctrine about the importance of receiving Holy Eucharist in a state of grace. According to him, people who are actively participating in sexual sin should be invited to receive.
There followed what Raymond Wolfe called, “an explosive backlash from fellow bishops.” Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, went so far as to condemn McElroy’s comments as “heresy” and suggest that he had automatically excommunicated himself. On Thursday, America published another essay by McElroy in which he doubles down on his heresy. McElroy is reputed to be a special favorite of the pontiff.
