“You say that Pope Pius XII consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart in 1952”

Consecration Of Russia Question

Have you read our article on this?  https://vaticancatholic.com/consecration-russia-fatima-lucy/ The statement to Fuentes does not contradict the fact that Pius XII's consecration was the fulfillment.  Sr. Lucia was repeating things that Our Lady had previously told her.  Also, Sr. Lucia did not always know if something fulfilled Heaven's request. In 1947, when asked by William Thomas Walsh about Pope Pius XII’s 1942 consecration of the world, Sr. Lucy didn’t even know if it was sufficient.  This was before the specific consecration of Russia in 1952.

William Thomas Walsh, Our Lady of Fatima, p. 222: “After my return from Portugal I wrote several questions which His Excellency the Bishop of Leiria was good enough to send to Sister Dores [Sr. Lucy].  Her answers, written February 17, 1947, reached me just too late for the first edition of this book… Q.  Is it your opinion that the Pope and the Bishops will consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary only after the laity have done their duty, in Rosaries, sacrifices, first Saturday Communions, etc.?  A. [Sr. Lucy] The Holy Father has already consecrated Russia, including it in the consecration of the world, but it has not been done in the form indicated by Our Lady: I do not know whether Our Lady accepts it, done in this way, as complying with her promises.  Prayer and sacrifice are always the means necessary to draw down the graces and blessings of God.”

Further, the 'conversion' of Russia came to full fruition after the 1957 interview with the dramatic transformation of Russia.  Our Lady’s words on the consecration of Russia were firmly set within the context of changing/transforming Russia from the specified persecutions of “war… hunger… of the Church.”  That's what 'conversion' meant in the context of the message given.
