Repost by Request: Fr. Z calls attention to the “mirror” motif in the Secret of Fátima
I thought everyone was keenly aware of this. Coupled with Emmerich explicitly talking about “two popes”, well, as Our Lord said to the disciples of John the Baptist, “Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen.”
Indeed.
Fr. Z’s post is titled, “A troubling, curious point in the Third Secret of Fátima.”
In any event, returning to the thing in the text of the Third Secret that was brought to my attention and that really bothers me.
…
“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.”
…
Note that reference to seeing an image like to that of an image in a mirror.
When you see someone pass in front of a mirror, you see two of them, the real one and the image. Two.
Hence, in this case, the vision involved seeing two figures dressed in white, one being the real one and the other being the image of the real one. And, according to the description, Lúcia says she saw whom she took to be the Pope and a figure that was not the Pope but an image like the Pope.
One figure the Pope and the other, close by, as in a mirror, not the Pope but looking like the Pope.
Indeed.
Here is a little photo essay of mirror-like images.
One real.
One fake.
The fake one being an INVERSION of the real one – exactly as mirror images are: INVERTED. - Catholic pundit Ann Barnhardt [https://www.barnhardt.biz/2021/10/26/fr-z-calls-attention-to-the-mirror-motif-in-the-secret-of-fatima/]
The following is from the FATIMASOULS.COM interview of author and scholar Dr. Edmund Mazza who taught for over a decade Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance and Reformation History at Azusa Pacific University.
Towards the ends of the interview, Dr. Mazza says that in one of the
Seewald books that Pope Benedict XVI says that he has written a Spiritual
Last Testament. He wonders if it might become the new Third Secret and if we will ever get the full content. He hopes that Benedict gave it to multiple trusted friends who will reveal its secrets when he passes away.
Moreover, an intriguing point in the interview is when Dr. Mazza, speaking of the Third Secret of the Fatima, says that in his "impression... that the bishop dressed in white is an antipope":
"My impression is that the bishop dressed in white is an antipope." (1:43:52)
Below are timestamps and the Dr. Mazza interview:
5 minutes – (it’s a zoom call, so it takes a few minutes for people to join)
10 minutes – Setting the stage- “Living on Borrowed Time” (Fatima, unheeded)
20 minutes – “Is Pope Francis the Holy Father?”
30 minutes – The subject of “Scandal” – is it wrong to discuss this if it causes Scandal
38 minutes – Dr. Mazza offers us a preview of his new academic paper
57 minutes – what is “Pope Emeritus?”
1 hour, 20 minutes – Talking about the words in Benedict’s Interview-Book
1 hour, 30 minutes – Wrap-Up Summary
1 hour, 34 minutes – Benedict’s “Spiritual Diary” & the revelation of the Third Secret?
1 hour, 40 minutes – maybe we only have 3.5 years (2025) instead of 7 years until the prophesied coming crisis.
1
hour, 43 minutes – During the canonization of Francisco and Jacinta,
Pope Francis said he was the “bishop dressed in white,” what is the deal
with that, and what did Sr. Lucia mean when she wrote about that?
1
hour, 49 minutes – Hasn’t Pope Benedict XVI already been stripped of his
authority in keeping with Our Lord’s warning to Sister Lucia of Fatima?
1
hour, 51 minutes – Is it possible that Pope Benedict XVI could be the
pope of the assassination “killed by a group of soldiers who fired
bullets and arrows at him” described in the vision of the Third Secret
of Fatima?
1 hour, 53 minutes – To me the Benedict-is-Pope position
makes sense but so does sedevacantism. The latter position answers my
question about how a valid Pope could call an invalid council. How can I
be sure sedevacantism is incorrect. There is not much debate comparing
these two positions.
1 hour, 55 minutes – Do you think the “katechon”
could be the reservation of some measure of the Papacy by BXVI
restraining canonically/legall/juridically the full force of Francis’
actions?
1 hour, 56 minutes – Dr Mazza, under your understanding of
the current situation, would BXVI have the canonical ability to name
Cardinals “in pectore”?
1 hour, 58 minutes, 30 seconds – Why is the date 2029 instead of 2017?
2 hours, 1 minutes – What about the bones of St Peter being sent by Francis to Contantinopole?
2 hours, 3 minutes – Who is the real “Vicar of Christ” if Pope Francis did not accept the title?
2 hours, 10 minutes – The Pastoral Council and the Vatican-Moscow Agreement
2
hours, 14 minutes – Is it okay to attend Mass (esp. Novus Ordo) if the
Priest invokes the name of Francis as Pope during the Canon?
2 hours,
22 minutes – If the words of the Consecration becomes deranged and
anyhow, with all the banalities occuring at the NO, wouldn’t it be
better to remain home with our devotions, especially if the Mass in
those last 3 1/2 years become invalid?

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis's Amoris Laetitia.
