On the Third Part of the Secret of F?tima (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888702994)

For several decades, there has been much discussion on the famous third part of the secret of F?tima. Originally communicated to the three seers of F?tima in July, 1917, it was not written down until January, 1944. It was then kept under lock and key first in Portugal, then in the Vatican until its eventual release in June, 2000. The long years of its remaining unpublished was accompanied by a desire by various Church officials not to discuss the matter. These two facts and others led to much speculation on the content of the third part of the secret as well as to accusations of a cover-up on the part of the Church hierarchy.

The seemingly endless speculations and accusations have been more prominent since the release of the text in the year 2000. To date, there has been no comprehensive refutation of specific arguments in response to the speculations and accusations.

That fact has now changed. Kevin J. Symonds of Menominee, Michigan has performed some groundbreaking research on the matter in his latest book On the Third Part of the Secret of F?tima.

Utilizing material in six foreign languages, including information from the archives of the Sanctuary of F?tima itself, Kevin weighs many of the arguments in support of conspiracy theories on the third part of the secret. He takes the arguments head-on, explores the sources and critiques the conspiracies. Symonds' findings produce some truly astonishing results that are sure to cause many to re-think their understanding of the message of Our Lady of F?tima.

In this centennial year of F?tima, many of the faithful are renewing their interest in or discovering for the first time the message of Our Lady of F?tima. On the Third Part of the Secret of F?tima is not an introductory book, but will be an excellent source for people already familiar with the topic.
