アヴェ・マリア！
愛する兄弟姉妹の皆様、今日は聖母の被昇天の祝日ですね。おめでとうございます。いかがお過ごしでいらっしゃいますか？
以前「1967年 5月13日 教皇パウロ6世ファチマに巡礼する。しかしパウロ6世はファチマの聖母には見向きもせず、祈りもしない。」ということを、書いたことがあります。その根拠を知りたいと思っておられる方がおられるようなので、ご紹介します。
その根拠は、ド・ナント神父というフランス人司祭の証言です。ド・ナント神父は聖ピオ十世会とは関係のない司祭です。彼はパウロ六世が1967年5月13日ファチマに訪問した時に、フランスでテレビの中継を、目を釘にしてみていました。そのことをパウロ六世に宛てて、次のように書いています。ド・ナント神父は、パウロ六世がファチマの第3の秘密を発表するのを待っていたのです。今では英語の訳がインターネットでも読めますのでそれをご紹介します。
天主様の祝福が豊かにありますように！
トマス小野田圭志神父（聖ピオ十世会司祭）
FATIMA PROFANED
All the scandals, the air of schism that hung so heavily about us, would disperse if only you made a pilgrimage to Fatima. All our confidence, our filial love, would be restored as in a baptism of grace. Once there, you would – you could not do otherwise than – pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary together with that whole vast crowd of loyal, traditional Catholics, and after that you would let her speak, the Mother of God and our Mother and Protector; and you would tell us her Third Secret and accede to her requests. And then the world would become converted, beginning with us, your own sinful priests and people. In that prospect lay our hope!
You did go to Fatima, it is true. It was on 13th May 1967, fifty years to the day after the Heavenly Apparition. "Our eyes fixed on the screen, our hearts torn with anguish, the rosary between our fingers as we mingled our Aves with those of our brethren over there, we awaited what should have been the Event of the century...
"Alas, five hours later, there was no hope of peace left, and the final grace which we had hoped might follow mysteriously upon this meeting between the Vicar of Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother had been squandered." (Letter No 191, p.6, 13 May 1967)
Why this feeling of certain disillusionment? Because it was only too clear from beginning to end that you had come, not to see, but to be seen, not to listen, but to speak, not to fall on your knees, but to be honored by millions prostrated at your feet, not to receive instructions from Heaven, but to impose your own earthly projects, not to implore the Blessed Virgin Mary to give us peace, but to ask men to bring it about, not to sanctify your heart and purify it after having allowed it to be soiled by Manhattan, but rather to spread the atmosphere of Manhattan, of the World, even in this spot sacred to Mary. You had come in order to desecrate Fatima! ...
You had arranged to celebrate Mass in Portuguese – despite the fact that people of all tongues and all races the whole world over were watching or listening – because you wished to show the tradition-loving country of Portugal that you were on the side of the innovators, that you supported change and were prepared to place your own desires above the glory of God. The Mass was a sad and hurried one, impossible to follow – a cold and "mumbled" (term used by Fr Laurentin in a French daily) ceremony. ...
Your visit, taken up with your political and ecumenical daydreams, was not a pilgrimage at all, and herein lies the terrible scandal. In all those discourses we find hardly any references – and those only cold and superficial – to the Apparitions of 1917. In not wishing to visit the actual site of the apparitions in the Cova da Iria, you gave the impression – perhaps intentionally? – that you did not really believe in them. On your arrival, receiving the acclamations of the crowds for over an hour as you passed them, you failed to salute Our Lady of Fatima. Nothing escapes the television screen. Mounted on the platform, you did salute – the crowds. But Our Lady – No. You had passed her who was the object of your pilgrimage, without raising your eyes. I saw it. Nor did you recite the Rosary with the crowd, and, if you did say a single Ave, this was neither televised nor reported in the press.....
