Didn t the Pope succeed in performing the consecration of Russia in 1984?
No. As Sister Lucy herself declared in a September 1985 interview, the attempted consecration of March 25, 1984, did not satisfy Our Lady s requests because there was no participation of the bishops and there was no mention of Russia. In consecrating the world in general on that date without mentioning Russia, the Holy Father himself acknowledged in the presence of tens of thousands of witnesses, both during and after the ceremony, that the people of Russia were still awaiting our consecration and confiding. The next day these statements were reported in the Pope s own newspaper, L Osservatore Romano, and the Italian Bishops publication, Avvenire.
