Vatican released century-old secret in year 2000 that ‘made terrifying prediction for world before 2030’
The Vatican’s long-hidden “Third Secret of Fatima,” revealed in 2000, contains eerie prophecies some believe could unfold before 2030. Originally shared by the Virgin Mary to three children in 1917, the secret describes visions of an angel with a flaming sword, a “Bishop dressed in white” (linked to Pope John Paul II’s 1981 assassination attempt), and a ruined city with martyred clergy. While the first two secrets referenced World War II and Russia’s spiritual impact, the third has sparked theories of impending global catastrophe, with interpretations extending the 100-year warning to 2029.
Despite fears of apocalyptic predictions, the Catholic Church views the Fatima messages as calls to prayer and repentance rather than definitive prophecies. The recent election of Pope Leo XIV has renewed interest in these mysteries, though the Church maintains a cautious stance on their interpretation. Whether seen as divine warning or symbolic urging, the secrets continue to captivate believers and skeptics alike.
