I remember Father Malachi Martin in his book, "Windswept House", speek of the Evil that surrounds The Pope. Apparantly this is still true.
Fortunately for me, I am not catholic and I can just shrug these kind of deceptions off as more NWO maneuvering, But for someone who has followed the catholic faith, or The Fatima Revelations, for guidance this must be pretty disappointing.

Below reads more like an excerpt from "Revelations".

I wonder who is in charge of making this stuff up?

: VATICAN CITY, JUN 26, 2000 (VIS) - Given below is the complete
: translation of the original Portuguese text of the third
: part of the secret of Fatima, revealed to the three
: shepherd children at Cova da Iria-Fatima on July 13, 1917,
: and committed to paper by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944:

: "I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me
: to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and
: through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

: "After the two parts which I have already explained, at
: the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel
: with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave
: out flames that looked as though they would set the world
: on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor
: that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand:
: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried
: out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we
: saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to
: how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of
: it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that
: it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and
: women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of
: which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a
: cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy
: Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half
: trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and
: sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on
: his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his
: knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group
: of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the
: same way there died one after another the other Bishops,
: Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of
: different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the
: Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium
: in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the
: Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making
: their way to God."
