 Danny, I will add my two cents: in 1689, Our Lord ask Louis XIV, through His message to St Margaret in paray-le-Monial, that he consecrates his kingdom, his own person and his coat of arms to His Sacred heart. For some obscure reasons - I am personally an historian, specialized in the Bourbon dynasty and it's not that easy to figure out what happened - the consecration never took place, and 100 years later, nearly day for day, the French Revolution started. Louis XVI (Louis XIV great-great-great-grandson) consecrated his family and his kingdom to the Sacred Heart, from his prison cell. Some historians questioned the consecration itself, saying it was not sure if the document attributed to Louis was a forgery or not. Others, taking it for granted, questioned the effect of such a consecration done by a captive monarch. We have got the answer from Heaven in 1931 when Our Lord told sister Lucy in Rianjo about the FUTURE consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary: "They did not want to heed my request. Like the King of France they will repent and do so, but it will be late"... That's crystal clear: Heaven accepted the consecration EVEN IF IT WAS NOT DONE when & as requested. Louis XVI's martyre was the price to pay, even though that pious king had not been personally responsible for the delay: he paid the price for his predecessors and carried his cross. My take on this is that THE HOLY FATHER WILL DO IT, under the very same circumstances: imprisoned, all alone, before offering his own life through martyrdom. Jacinta's vision is quite reminescent of the actual status of Pope Benediict: "t I saw the Holy Father IN A VERY BIG HOUSE, kneeling by a table, with his head buried in his hands, and he was weeping. Outside the house, there were many people, some of them were throwing stones, others were cursing him and using bad language". My personal conclusion is that it will as it was with France: death of the Monarch (Pope), destruction of churches, persecutions, wars, destruction, all because Rome never obeyed when it was still time to do so.
