Re: International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima

Dear Sister Lucia,

Please, in your prayers, thank Our Lady for me for the conversion of Russia and the other 87 dictatorships that have fallen since the 1984 consecration of the world to Her Immaculate Heart. We, here in the United States, who love Our Lady of Fatima, have a problem that maybe only you can help us with.

It is a well known fact that the primary reason for false apparitions is to drown out true apparitions; therefore, promoters of private revelations must be very careful to only promote what has been properly investigated by the Church and approved. Canon Law also prohibits the publication or promotion of even a true private revelation without an Imprimatur.

Our problem is that one of the Official International Pilgrim Virgin Statues has been forcibly taken away from the National Blue Army of America by John Haffert and given to the 101 Foundation. It is at the present time in the hands of a promoter of Medjugorje in Australia. The 101 Foundation plans to take the Statue on a tour of the world including Russia (so that Russia can be converted). They have already taken the Statue once to Russia accompanied by six or seven false mystics, including Vassula Ryden.

The 101 Foundation is a major promoter of many false apparitions and mystics. Not to mention their promotion of Medjugorje, Scottsdale, Poem of the Man God, and many more, they also continue to promote the two most condemned apparitions in the Twentieth Century: Garabandal and Vassula Ryden. Garabandal has been condemned seven times and most recently only seven months ago. Vassula Ryden has been condemned by Rome itself only five months ago. Rome was forced to be the one to condemn Vassula because she has no local bishop, being a non-Catholic. In spite of these condemnations, the 101 Foundation continues to promote these false mystics. It is my personal opinion (with a lot of experience in these matters) that the 101 Foundation is a cult, doing the work of Satan without knowing it.

What can you, Lucia, do about this? Our Lady and I pray that you will write a letter to John Haffert and ask him to return the Statue back to the National Blue Army, for that is the only Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima in America recognized by the Church.

Dear Mr. Haffert,

Thank you for your prompt reply to my letter. I want you to know that I am not a stranger to the 101 Foundation. You should also know that I am (and have been) a promoter of Akita. I am aware that Dr. Rosalie Turton went to Akita and this is why she started the 101 Foundation. This was the right thing for her to do and I applaud her for it. However, this is not what she ended up doing. She ended being one of the biggest promoters of false mystics in the world.

It does not escape my notice that in talking about the 101 flight to Moscow you never once mention Vassula. In the film promoted on EWTN, Vassula is edited out. Why is this? You talk about a seer who said Our Lady thanked everyone for the flight and saw a vision in the sky over Moscow, but you do not say who that seer is. How many seers went on that flight? How many of those seers have the Church approval required by Canon Law for promotion? What about the 10 million conversions promised because of the flight? (Copy of that ad enclosed) You know also that all the donors of the 101 flight were given gifts of the Vassula typed book and a Mark Treanor Video.

Even in your very carefully worded letter of April 3, 1996 you are still promoting mystics without church approval which is a major sin against obedience. How do you justify Daily Communion breaking the First and Fourth Commandments?

I too am a daily communicant, but I would not dare go to Our Lord’s Supper if I disobeyed His Bishops. All authority comes from God, and I must obey all authority in all things except sin. Garabandal is the most condemned apparition of my 35-year study of private revelations, and you are its biggest promoter. Vassula has the strongest condemnation that any seer ever had from the Vatican, and the 101 Foundation is her biggest promoter.

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps you have forgotten the pressure you and Dr. Rosalie Turton put on Mirna Nazzour to go on that same flight to Moscow (copy of the 101 letter enclosed); but God has a way of protecting true mystics. You see, I am the author of "THE MIRACLE OF DAMASCUS" that the 101 Foundation attacked because the book insisted that the local bishop and only the local bishop could approve a private revelation. As you can see, Rome has verified this only six months ago (enclosed).

Rome has just seen fit to take control of the Saint Paul Book and Media Stores (Society of St. Paul) because of their promotion of non-Catholic books and false apparitions. Papal delegate, Bishop Buoncristiani is now in charge. The same thing might happen to EWTN if they don’t stop their promotion of Garabandal and Medjugorje. There is not much they can do with the 101 Foundation since it is a private foundation without a Catholic name, but in fact, anyone who holds to a single anti-Catholic belief is "Ipso-facto" excommunicated. I can prove that both Garabandal and Vassula have messages that are against the faith of the Church. If you are the loyal Catholic you say you are, you will put in writing that you support the condemnations of the Church on Garabandal and Vassula.

I think I have made myself clear. Thomas Merton started out a great convert to the Church and wrote a great book, "The Seven Story Mountain", but success went to his head and most experts believe he died out of the Church and out of grace. You are not a young man; and yet, you are risking your eternal salvation by mixing Our Lady of Fatima up with Vassula and Garabandal? Perhaps you have done more harm to Our Lady of Fatima than anyone in the world because of your insistence on mixing Her up with Garabandal.

If you will not listen to reason, I am going to ask my people to all write to Lucia of Fatima. A copy of what I am going to ask them to write is enclosed. I will wait a week for you to respond.

Keep in mind that I owe my salvation to that Statue and I intend to do all I can to protect it from any more false mystics like in 1972. If I fail, Our Lady will reward my efforts to be a good son, and Her spirit will go out from that Statue along with the crown. Without Her blessing it will only be a piece of wood.

We are Her children only if we keep the commandments of Her Son. (Rev. 12:17)

One of those commandments is obedience to His Church.

Re: Book - DOORWAY TO HEAVEN

Dear Katy,

It seems to me that something formal needs to be on paper regarding the book. I haven’t done so up to now because the financing of Unity Publishing that I expected has not happened. I have over 75 close friends from The Messengers of Unity that I expected to tithe monthly to what I am trying to accomplish. The results are that not one person responded. I assume that someone has put out some bad words. No matter, I have survived without them and will continue to grow until I win the war. Anyway, I have had to slow down my program for lack of funds. The only way I can publish your book soon is by a miracle of finances and the best I will be able to do is 1000 copies on a first run. This is bad because the book will probably cost over $3.00 a copy when if I could make a bigger run I could get cost down to $2.00. Whatever!

Anyway, when I can I will ship 500 to you and 500 to me. I will pay you $2.00 for every book I sell, and you will pay me $2.00 plus the cost of the book for every one that you sell. If we sell all 1000 right away, you could make 500 x 7.00 = 3500 plus 500 x 2.00 = 1000 or $4,500.00. I was offered .30 cents for The Tongues of Satan. It is possible, however, with help from "Soul Magazine" that we could sell 50,000 copies in time, but all this takes money for advertisements and production. It will happen anyway, but without backing it will be slow.
