Two Announcements
I read the statement. I’ve never heard of the “Russian World” teaching or idea before and it’s verrrrrry interesting to me as a Catholic because of the Fatima prophecy that Russia would “spread her errors” throughout the world, causing much suffering for everyone, before the Immaculate Heart of Mary would essentially save the world somehow, and then the Era of Peace would happen. Just today, Pope Francis announced that he will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the 25th of this month.
I grew up hearing about Fatima, and the promised Era of Peace, and that Russia would “spread her errors” throughout the world, and I kept wondering, what errors? Well, now I know.
Deeply profound & deeply Christian. Thank you all who crafted this statement.
