Il quarto segreto di Fatima
Le apparizioni della Madonna a Fatima costituiscono un caso unico nella storia della Chiesa e dell'umanità: non esiste nessun'altra profezia pubblica di Maria, autenticata dal "miracolo del sole" e ufficializzata dalle autorità ecclesiastiche. In particolare, è il cosiddetto "terzo segreto" di Fatima ad aver suggestionato per decenni l'opinione pubblica. Papa Giovanni Paolo II decise di rivelarlo il 13 maggio del 2000: era la visione di un "vescovo vestito di bianco" che sale in mezzo ai cadaveri verso una croce, dove viene ucciso da alcuni soldati. Papa Wojtyla collegava esplicitamente la visione all'attentato del 13 maggio 1981. In questo libro si indaga sulle contraddizioni della versione ufficiale e sulle interpretazioni del segreto.

This book reads as a detective novel or feels like a historical fiction, but it is not. The author, a journalist, has done his homework and brings together a seamless garment filled with failures and scandals to heroic feats and Heaven's hand. The author uses well placed documentation and lesser known facts concerning the Secret of Fatima and the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate, powerfully calling into question the official narrative used by the Vatican.
By the time you are done reading this book you will be amazed at the actions done by the Popes of the 20th Century and the overlap it has with events of the 20th Century, as it specifically relates to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The author is armed with footnotes and sources who were closer to the 20th Century Popes than he was, he plays himself as a realist, neither getting too caught up in the reactionary hyper-traditionalism but also not giving into the neo-conservative/progressive mainstream narrative of the Vatican.
Nonetheless try as he might, through a process of deductive reasoning and evidence, he comes to rather unsettling conclusions concerning the Secret of Fatima that is indeed directly pertinent to our times. Indeed, anyone who is honest with themselves must admit that the errors of Russia (Marxism and all its philosophical baggage and implications) has not been routed but rather has in fact spread throughout the world, especially the Western World which we know has massive influence on other parts of the world.
The implications are huge, the narrative he weaves is more than just something isolated in the past, it is ongoing, it is a celestial narrative, the narrative of Humanity's Salvation History, and Antonio Socci like a man on top of a hill is able to see the past and what is coming in the future and in so doing, has done a tremendous job of reminding us where we stand in salvation history, at this juncture of human history. Whether you walk away from this book unconvinced of his argument or are convinced, everyone - including the author admits that in the end Russia will be Consecrated, a Reign of Peace will come, and Her Immaculate Heart will triumph.

El Cuarto Secreto de Fátima.
El Autor describe en este libro un interesante análisis de documentos, procedimientos y de intrigas políticas por intereses de poder, como razones suficientes que demuestran la confusa situación eclesial alrededor del Secreto de Fátima. De lo que aquí se explica, puede concluirse que nunca se ha dado a conocer el Mensaje completo de la Santísima Virgen María a los tres niños ni se han cumplido Sus recomendaciones, tal como era Su Voluntad. Es un libro altamente recomendable para ser leído por quienes nos preocupa la Iglesia de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Libro meraviglioso, illuminante, serio, doloroso.

Socci demuestra nuevamente su capacidad para presentar los hechos de tal forma que el interés va ‘in crescendo’ conforme nos acercamos a los capítulos finales, los cuales no suelen decepcionar. Además, transmite la información de manera muy ordenada y exhaustiva, usando de manera certera las fuentes y procurando no dejar cabos sueltos. Creo las personas interesadas en el fenómeno de Fátima no se verán decepcionadas.

August 17, 2022I read this in French. I liked that the language was simple enough that when I read it I could understand it and be amused by it. I feel it had a very slow start. There was a lot of useless conversations and poor build up in the beginning. I felt that in the end it got really exciting and that made up for the poor start.
If you cut this book down to 60 percent it's current number of pages and keeping all the good stuff; it would be an amazing story.

Jak se dá ohodnotit poselství z Nebe? Jak se dá ohodnotit práce někoho, kdo hledá střípky pravdy ohledně tohoto poselství a pracně je dává dohromady? Nuž, myslím, že tato kniha byla napsaná kvalitně. A rozhodně mě autor donutil nad pár věcmi trochu zapřemýšlet. Nebo spíš nad tím, nad čím taky sám tak moc rozjímal.
