This is really not going off tangent since Tim has been of interest in it: whether the Consecration of Russia has been done or not. To us who are Marian-devoted know it has not been done. The debate is not even moot; therefore it is closed. Let others, like Roman Protestants, debate it. (It wonders me how nobody sees that Russia is still spreading her errors) However, the new conciliarism needs to be validated and shown to be "legitimate" what else would make it so than to have its own saints. All bar none of the conciliar popes have been shown to have led lives of heroic virtue and therefore have earned the titles of "Venerable," and "Blessed" and the right to cannonitiation. And not to be outdone, the grand modifier, "The Great" is appended, as if this would rank among those truly GREAT, such as Sts. Gregory and Leo, et al.
None of the Popes since the time of the request to Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (1925), from the Pontificate of PiusXI to the present, have fulfilled it. So what would consider this but pure disobedience to something asked by the Mother of Jesus, Jesus Himself appeared to Sr. Lucia and angrily said "they all will follow the consequence of the King of France when he refused my request" (Consecration of France to the Sacred Heart). We are well into it, the chastisement -- everything is going south.
If Tim is in heaven, the whole divine plan will have been revealed. If he is in Purgatory, his only concern would be to receive relief from the pains suffered there, so we must try to alleviate his torment with our prayers, Masses, sacrifices, etc. Speaking of Purgatory, we all need to be devoted to the holy souls. "Daily Pilgrimage to Purgatory" by St. Mary Margaret Alacoque is a good practice.
I beg pardon if I went overboard on this post. It was a "just saying." I am hopeful Tim has pardoned me.
