Pope Leo XIII and the Prayer to St. Michael
An Historical and Theological Examination
by Kevin J. Symonds
From the foreword by Bishop Athanasius Schneider “In his book Pope Leo XIII and the Prayer to St. Michael,” writes
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, “Mr. Kevin Symonds presents a very careful and competent historical research about the origin and the circumstances of the publication of the prayer to St. Michael....Furthermore he gives also a rich spiritual reflection on the Divine truth about the Holy Angels, the fallen angels and the reality and necessity of the spiritual battle.

Pope Leo inherited the idea of the Prayers After Low Mass, which had been ordered to be said in the Papal States for their protection against attack, by Pope Pius IX, but it was Leo who made them universal, and added the Prayer to St Michael. Why did he want Catholics all over the world to recite this heartfelt plea for the protection of the Church from satanic attack?

It is thorough, it is sober, and it takes the supernatural seriously: without either sensationalism or cynicism. I thoroughly recommend it to any Catholic wanting to get to the bottom the matter.

Communion in the Hand: Documents & History
by Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise:
Bishop Athanasius Schneider in the foreword to the Italian edition:
“The book of Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise and his pastoral initiatives concerning the manner of receiving Holy Communion reflect the spirit and the attitude of the Church Fathers, who have cultivated with loving care and with apostolic firmness the purity of the lex credendi and also inseparably the lex orandi.... “I consider it an honor and joy to be able to present this book of the most esteemed Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise, “decus episcoporum Argentinae.” I hope this prophetic voice of an elderly bishop, who has retained his youth and purity of faith and reverent love for the Eucharistic mystery, may enkindle readers with the same faith and the same love and contribute to the universal restoration of the more sacred and reverent manner of receiving the Lord's Body. In fact, every true Catholic and even more every true priest of Christ must love, worship and defend Jesus in the Eucharist.”

School of Darkness by Bella V. Dodd From the dust jacket description on an orginal edition:
Bella Dodd’s story is a human document of immense importance to Americans today. Here are the inner workings of the Communist Party in this country as seen from the secret counsels and strategy meetings of the National Committee, to which she belonged for a crucial span of years.
As long ago as the 1940’s, the Party was planning cynically to use the Negroes as instruments in the revolution-to-come in the United States. The theory, contrived by Stalin and unleashed by Foster, was to encourage “self-determination of the Negroes in the black belt” and the establishment of a Negro nation with the right to secede from the United States.
Bella Dodd’s is a story familiar to many a young American idealist who saw in Communism a new gospel and who worked sacrificially in the cause until the inevitable bitter day when the cause betrayed him. For her that day came almost too late for her own salvation, for as she tells us, “it takes a long time to ‘unbecome’ a Communist.”
As a brilliant young college instructor, and one with legal training, Bella Dodd attracted the attention of top Communists by her unremitting fight to improve the pay and working conditions of New York City’s teachers.
Her conversion to Communism was a slow infiltration of the mind by an appeal to love of humanity, a vision of a better society and wider social justice. She rose in Party ranks to National Committee membership and was as well the legislative representative of its New York State Committee, a member of the State Board and the State Secretariat. This report of her activities and those of the high-up Party leaders covers the historic period during World War II of the Democratic Front, the Rapp-Coudert investigation of Communist teachers, the propaganda drive in behalf of Loyalist Spain, the work of the Women’s Trade Union for Peace, the goings-on in the famous
“Ninth Floor” of Communist headquarters. She recreates the atmosphere of suspicion and conspiracy which was part of the air she breathed in those days. She reports tense sessions in which friends turned their backs on friends and former leaders found themselves demoted overnight as the “Party line” from Moscow changed course.
The climax of the book is a snowy Christmas Eve when Bella Dodd finds the reaffirmation of her faith, and is able to say, “I have learned from bitter experience that you cannot serve man unless you first serve God in sincerity and truth.”
Bella Dodd became widely known as a lecturer. She also wrote and practiced law in her New York Office. [hardback 264 pages $22 #63290]

A Controversial Letter of Sister Lúcia
Introduction: The Interpretation of Sister Lúcia’s Letter
In the controversy regarding the Third Secret of Fatima one of the most important documents is the letter that Sister Lúcia wrote to Pope John Paul II on May 12, 1982, in anticipation of her meeting with him the following day during his visit to Fatima. The authenticity of the letter as published by the Vatican and by the Carmelites of Coimbra, however, has been called into question because Sister Lúcia mentions to the Pope that he was “anxious to know” the Third Secret, whereas in fact Pope John Paul II had previously read the Third Secret on two different occasions. The argument is made that Sister Lúcia could not have made such a mistake, and therefore the letter was either forged, or was not addressed to John Paul II on that particular occasion. The primary problem with this argument is the English translation of Sister Lúcia’s Portuguese. Sister Lúcia used the word “conhecer,” which is more specific than the English word “to know.” It comes from the Latin word “cognoscere,” which gives rise to various words in English, such as “cognition,” “cognizance,” etc. Cassell’s Latin-English dictionary in defining cognoscere cites a passage from Cicero where a clear distinction is made between a mere knowledge of the existence or content of something, on one hand, and a deeper understanding of its meaning, on the other hand. In this particular case Sister Lúcia was referring not simply to John Paul II’s awareness of the contents of the Secret, but even more so to his understanding of what the Secret signified. Once one focuses on this aspect of Sister Lúcia’s letter, everything that follows in the letter becomes clear. Sister Lúcia begins by referring to the Secret as a “symbolic vision.” Proponents of a “fourth secret” have argued that the Third Secret vision is only a part of the Secret, and that there is another text containing the “words of Our Lady” which the Vatican has refused to publish. However, Sister Lúcia in this letter is indicating that the vision itself is the Secret, the Secret in its entirety, but which requires an explanation, and which she then proceeds to provide to the Pope.
The Secret as Distinct from Its Explanation
In the previous article we discussed the words of Our Lady to Sister Lúcia in January 1944, when Our Lady instructed Sister Lúcia to write down what she saw, but not what was given to her “to understand of its meaning.” The proponents of a missing document find in this information from the Carmelites of Coimbra, in their biography of Sister Lúcia, a proof that there is more to the Secret than the vision, insofar as Our Lady Herself had made this distinction between the vision and its interpretation. However, Our Lady instructed Sister Lúcia not to write down the interpretation at that time, in January of 1944, when she was to write the Third
Secret itself – which was the vision, not a separate document explaining it. The advocates of a missing document argue that this command to Sister Lúcia applied only to January of 1944, but certainly not to later years, because eventually Sister Lúcia had to have written the explanation, for otherwise the Secret would have remained forever unintelligible. In analyzing this hypothesis, we cited in the previous article Father Alonso, and the Carmelite prioress whom he himself quoted, both of them stating that it was the mission of Sister Lúcia to present to the world the message of Fatima, but not to be its interpreter, and that this latter responsibility belonged to the theologians, to the apostles of Fatima, and ultimately to the magisterium of the Church. When, however, we read Sister Lúcia’s letter to Pope John Paul II of May 1982, we find what is in fact an explanation of the meaning of the Secret. On this point we give credit to the proponents of a missing document for arguing, after the publication of the Carmelite biography, that at a later date Sister Lúcia must have written down an explanation. But their problem in the application of this principle is that the explanation given by Sister Lúcia in her letter is not what they previously expected the Third Secret to be. For example, Christopher Ferrara criticized the Brazilian Fatima scholar Antonio Borelli for giving an interpretation of the Secret which, according to Mr. Ferrara, reduces the Third Secret to nothing more than what was already revealed in the Second Secret – the chastisement of the world and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Sister Lúcia’s letter, however, contains an indirect response to this very objection. She explained very clearly to John Paul II that the Third Secret “refers” to a part of the Second Secret. Our Lady in the Second Secret had said that if we did not heed Her requests, Russia would spread its errors. And this, Sister Lúcia stated, is what has happened: We have not heeded Our Lady’s requests, and as a result Russia has spread its errors throughout the world. For this reason Antonio Borelli’s explanation of the Third Secret is perfectly justified. For after the Secret was published in June 2000, he could show how this fulfillment of Our Lady’s prophecy in the Second Secret was represented in the symbolism of the Third Secret – which is what Sister Lúcia appropriately told John Paul II when stating that the Secret was a “symbolic vision.” Sister Lúcia’s letter to the Pope was written precisely to explain the meaning of this symbolism. Sister Lúcia, however, does not enter into a detailed explanation to the Pope. She is content to give a general reference to the “errors of Russia” but without giving a complete analysis of all the ways in which these errors affected the Church and temporal society, or in precisely what manner they have spread to other countries throughout the world. To understand more precisely Sister Lúcia’s role in providing an explanation of the Secret, we must turn to the
23
teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas on the nature of supernatural revelations.
St. Thomas Aquinas and Prophetic Revelation
If we study the teaching of St. Thomas about the nature of prophetic knowledge (the Latin cognitio, or cognition, from cognoscere, in the sense explained above in reference to Sister Lúcia’s Portuguese word conhecer), we find in it all the distinctions necessary for understanding the perspective of Sister Lúcia and her mission. In the Third Secret Sister Lúcia writes, “we saw in an immense light that is God....” Sister Lúcia describes the revelation that she, Francisco and Jacinta received as a “light” that comes from God. St. Thomas uses the same word in Latin, or lumen, to describe such divine communications. He distinguishes this “light” from the “species,” knowledge from the senses, imagination and intellect, but different from the light regarding its ultimate meaning (Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 173, a. 2). In the case of Sister Lúcia and the other seers, the species was knowledge of the Third Secret vision itself, and the light was the understanding of its meaning. But to communicate the meaning of a prophetic revelation, God also uses secondary causes or instruments, which in this case was Our Lady Herself speaking to the seers. The words of Our Lady at Fatima that served this purpose were those of the second part of the Secret of Fatima, popularly known as the Second Secret. The first part, or First Secret, was the vision of hell, and the second part begins with Our Lady referring to hell as the place where poor sinners go. In this Second Secret Our Lady also prophesied the coming of the Second World War, and the spreading of the errors of Russia if mankind did not heed Her warnings. But Our Lady did not leave the seers without reasons for hope, for She ended with the words that have become the center of the debate about the Third Secret: “In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved.” Proponents of a missing document argue that these final words are the beginning of the Third Secret. If this were the case, however, Sister Lúcia would have been revealing part of the Third Secret before she was authorized to do so. For she wrote these words in her Fourth Memoir in 1941, whereas she wrote the Third Secret in January of 1944, only after she had been told to do so by the bishop of Leiria-Fatima and afterwards by Our Lady. Another argument they use to identify these words with the Third Secret is that they appear to contain a message different from that of the Second Secret, a prophecy relating to a crisis in the Church or a crisis of faith, rather than what are perceived to be events concerning primarily temporal society, such as the Second World War.
The “Errors of Russia” versus “the Dogma of the Faith”
The problem with this argument is that it is lacking a proper understanding of the relationship between the Church and temporal society in the light of modern papal teaching. Preserving Christian Publications recently published Pope Leo XIII and the Prayer to St. Michael by Kevin J. Symonds (see p. 1 of catalog), a book that shows the relationship between the vision of Pope Leo in the late nineteenth century and the events prophesied by Our Lady in Fatima in 1917. The prayers that the Pope ordered to be recited after low
Masses were a development of earlier prayers introduced by his predecessor, Blessed Pius IX, because of the growing assaults against the Church. Related to these facts is another book that we published, Juan Donoso Cortés’s Catholicism, Liberalism and Socialism (see p. 21 of catalog), in which this English translation of 1862 contains a handwritten blessing from Pius IX to the translator. This Pope identified himself in some way with the prophetic insights of its author, who, as a renowned Spanish statesman and European diplomat, saw the direction in which modern society was going and what this meant for the Church. In 1849, two years before the publication of his book in 1851, Juan Donoso Cortés gave an address to the Spanish Parliament in which he analyzed the crisis in the following manner. When religion prospers, he explained, the power of the State diminishes, because the Church attends to man’s needs so profoundly that the role of government is reduced to a minimum. However, when the influence of religion declines, the power of the State increases. And, he warned his listeners, the world of his time – contrary to what many of them assumed – rather than making great social progress, was heading in the direction of the greatest tyranny the world has ever seen. Not only did Donoso Cortés foresee what was coming, but he also foretold the rise of Russia. What Donoso Cortés foresaw in the nineteenth century became the reality of the twentieth century, and now into the twenty-first century. Our Lady appeared in Fatima just as the Communist revolution was taking place in Russia. In the context of the Secret of Fatima, the meaning of Our Lady’s twofold prophecy becomes clear. The “errors of Russia” have spread precisely to the degree in which the “dogma of the Faith” is no longer acknowledged within society. These two aspects of Our Lady’s prophecy in the Second Secret are inseparably related, and together they point to the Third Secret.
Conclusion: Sister Lúcia’s May 1982 Letter Is Her Explanation of the Third Secret
We have attempted in this brief article to summarize the state of the question regarding the controversy surrounding the Third Secret, as it has developed since the publication of the Carmelite biography of Sister Lúcia in 2013, and in the English translation in 2015. Advocates of a missing part of the Third Secret are now faced with the evidence that Our Lady told Sister Lúcia in January of 1944 to write down the Third Secret itself, the vision, and not its explanation. In this way the two would not be confused. But by May 12, 1982, Sister Lúcia could freely write to Pope John Paul II and explain to him that the Third Secret was this “symbolic vision,” and the explanation of its meaning was that the errors of Russia foretold by Our Lady had indeed spread throughout the world, bringing wars and persecution of the Church. The present day loss of faith has resulted from an internal crisis within the Church. This in turn has amplified the crisis in temporal society. All of this is represented in the vision of the Third Secret, as explained in the first of this series of articles, through the interpretations of Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop Bernard Fellay, and Father Nicholas Gruner, whose explanations are fully understood only by referring to Sister Lúcia’s 1982 letter to Pope John Paul II.

Cardinal Merry del Val on the Authority of the Pope “The Truth of Papal Claims, by Raphael Cardinal Merry del Val, which Preserving Christian Publications has recently
reprinted . . . is a worthy edition of an important Catholic work.” – Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke
“Hence Dr. Oxenham may learn, that by Infallibility we do not mean ‘impeccability’ or sinlessness in the person of S. Peter or of his successors, who are accountable to God for their own consciences and their own lives like every other human being; ... we do not mean that the Roman Pontiff receives special revelations from heaven, or that by a revelation of the Holy Spirit he may invent or teach new doctrines not contained in the deposit of Faith, though, when occasion offers, and especially in times of conflict, he may define a point which all have not clearly recognized in that Faith, or which some may be striving to put out of view. Nor do we mean that every utterance that proceeds from the Pope’s mouth, or from the Pope’s pen, is infallible because it is his. Great as our filial duty of reverence is towards whatever he may say, great as our duty of obedience must be to the guidance of the Chief Shepherd, we do not hold that every word of his is infallible, or that he must always be right. Much less do we dream of teaching that he is infallible, or in any degree superior to other men, when he speaks on matters that are scientific, or historical, or political, or that he may not make mistakes of judgment in dealing with contemporary events, with men and things” [pp. 18-19].
The above statement in 1902 of Archbishop Rafael Merry de Val, future Cardinal and Secretary of State under Pope St. Pius X, was his answer to the Protestant theologian in Rome, F. Nutcombe Oxenham, who challenged Catholic teaching on the authority of the Pope. He summarized the Anglican chaplain’s position as follows: “…Dr. Oxenham
imagines, like so many other Protestants, that the Catholic doctrine of the infallibility of S. Peter and of his successors implies impeccability, which no Pope, no Council, no Catholic theologian ever dreamt of asserting” [pp. 6-7].
“Does Dr. Oxenham imagine that even today a Bishop might not expostulate with a Pope, who, in his judgment, might be acting in a way which was liable to mislead those under his own charge . . . ? The hypothesis is quite conceivable, and in no way destroys or diminishes the supremacy of the Pope. And yet an individual Bishop does not occupy the exceptional position of S. Paul, a fellow-Apostle of the Prince of the Apostles. Even a
humble nun, S. Catherine of Siena, expostulated with the reigning Pontiff, in her day, while fully acknowledging all his great prerogatives” [p. 74].
“We may conclude this argument with another text from S. Chrysostom, who again steps in to refute Dr. Oxenham’s views about S. Peter. ‘Observe his (Paul’s) prudence,’ writes that Father of the Greek Church, ‘he said not to him (Peter), thou does wrong in living as a Jew, but he alleges his (Peter’s) former mode of living, that the admonition and the counsel may seem to come, not from Paul’s mind, but from the judgment of Peter already expressed. For, had he said, thou dost wrong to keep the Law, Peter’s disciples would have blamed him, but now, hearing that this admonition and correction came, not from Paul’s judgment, but that Peter himself so lived, and held in his mind this belief whether they would or not, they were obliged to be quiet’ [Hom. in loc.]’ [pp. 74-75].
