Narrator: DID THREE CHILDREN
RECEIVE A PROPHECY IN FáTIMA

IN PORTUGAL IN 1917

THAT FORETOLD
THE DATE OF THE APOCALYPSE?

DID IT WARN OF A PLAGUE AND
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CHURCH?

AND HAS THE VATICAN
COVERED IT UP

FOR NEARLY A CENTURY?

Gough:
IF THE APPARITIONS WERE TRUE,

THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION
IS THAT IT WAS APOCALYPTIC

OR DEALT WITH
THE END OF THE CHURCH.

Victorino: THEY SAW SOMETHING
THEY OFFICIALIZED TO BE

A RELIGIOUS SIGHTING,
THE HOLY MARY IN THIS CASE.

SO, DEFINITELY, I THINK THAT
THEY MAY HAVE SEEN SOMETHING.

Howells: MALACHY'S PROPHECY
STATES THAT THIS FINAL POPE,

POPE FRANCIS,
IS THE FINAL POPE.

Hesemann: THERE'S NOTHING
MORE HORRIBLE THAN THE CONTENT

OF THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA.

THE DESTRUCTION,
THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF ROME

AND THE MURDER, AN ATTACK,
A MURDEROUS ATTACK,

ON THE ROMAN COURIER
AND THE POPE HIMSELF.

Narrator: HERE IN FáTIMA,

ON SIX OCCASIONS
BETWEEN MAY AND OCTOBER 1917,

IT IS SAID THAT
THE VIRGIN MARY APPEARED TO

THREE YOUNG
PORTUGUESE CHILDREN...

LúCIA SANTOS
AND HER TWO COUSINS,

FRANCISCO AND JACINTA.

ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL
CATHOLIC INTERPRETATION

OF THE PROPHECIES,

THEY INVOLVED HELL,
TWO WORLD WARS,

AND THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
ON JOHN PAUL II.

TWO OF THE SECRETS
WERE REVEALED IN 1941

IN A DOCUMENT WRITTEN BY LúCIA

AT THE REQUEST OF
HER LOCAL BISHOP.

WHEN HE ASKED HER TO REVEAL
THE THIRD SECRET,

SHE APPARENTLY HESITATED,

WROTE THE SECRET DOWN,
AND SEALED IT IN AN ENVELOPE,

SAYING THAT IT WAS NOT
TO BE OPENED UNTIL 1960.

THAT DATE CAME AND WENT

WITH THE VATICAN REFUSING
TO REVEAL ITS CONTENTS.

JOURNALIST JAMIE THEAKSTON

WANTS TO GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF THE MYSTERY

AND FIND OUT THE ANSWERS
TO TWO FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS...

HAS THE VATICAN SOMEHOW
COVERED UP THE TRUTH,

AND, IF SO, WHY?

Fanthorpe:
THE FIRST TWO SECRETS WERE

PRETTY CLEAR AND
STRAIGHTFORWARD,

DEALING WITH THE FIRST
AND SECOND WORLD WARS.

NOW, THE THIRD SECRET,
AS WE REMEMBER IT,

WAS SENT TO THE VATICAN,
ALLEGEDLY,

ON A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER

WHICH THE LITTLE GIRL, WOMAN
THAT SHE WAS THEN, WROTE OUT.

SHE HAD BEEN VERY RELUCTANT
TO WRITE THAT THIRD SECRET.

I STRONGLY SUSPECT

THAT SOMETHING VERY STRANGE
HAPPENED TO IT.

AND THE BASIS OF MY SUSPICION IS
THE DESCRIPTIONS THAT WERE GIVEN

BY VARIOUS
HIGH-RANKING OFFICIALS

ABOUT WHAT WAS IN THE ENVELOPE.

ALLEGEDLY, SHE HAD WRITTEN
NO MORE THAN 25 OR 30 LINES

ON A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER.

THERE WAS EVIDENCE

OF FOUR SHEETS OF PAPER
BEING FOUND.

NOW, THAT'S THE FIRST
BIG QUESTION MARK

THAT LEAPS INTO YOUR MIND.

Prince: THE VATICAN,
OVER THE YEARS,

OVER THE CENTURIES,

HAS PROVED ITSELF
SO, BASICALLY, UNTRUSTWORTHY

BY MANIPULATING AND CENSORING
AND EDITING INFORMATION

AND TRYING TO STEER
ALL THE INFORMATION

IN THE DIRECTION IT WANTS.

IT BASICALLY CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

SO, WHATEVER IT SAYS,

YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE
THAT THEY'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.

I MEAN,
IN THE VATICAN'S DEFENSE,

THERE'S NOT MUCH MORE
THEY CAN DO

TO PERSUADE YOU
THAT THEY'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.

YOU KNOW, RELEASED EVERYTHING
THEY HAVE.

BUT THE CHURCH, THE VATICAN, HAS
BEEN CALLED OUT SO MANY TIMES

EITHER LYING OR BEING, YOU KNOW,
ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH,

THAT, TODAY, THEY'RE IN
A POSITION WHERE, YOU KNOW,

WHATEVER THEY SAY, YOU
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE OR NOT.

Narrator:
FATHER CARLOS CABENCINHAS

IS IN CHARGE OF THE BASILICA
IN FáTIMA TODAY.

HE WELCOMES MILLIONS OF PILGRIMS
AND TOURISTS EVERY YEAR

AND REFUTES
ANY IDEA OF A COVER-UP.

Theakston: I'VE SPOKEN TO
A FEW PEOPLE WHO TELL ME

THAT WHEN SISTER LúCIA
FIRST WROTE IT DOWN,

IT WAS WRITTEN DOWN
ON ONE PIECE OF PAPER.

AND WHEN
THE VATICAN REVEALED,

IT WAS ON
MANY DIFFERENT PIECES OF PAPER.

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN
THAT?

I THINK WE HAVE TO HEAR
WHAT SISTER LúCIA HAS SAID.

WHEN CARDINAL BERTONE
ASK SISTER LúCIA

IF ALL SHE WAS WRITING
WAS REVEALED,

SHE SAID,
"YES. ALL IS REVEALED."

THAT MEANS THERE ARE
MANY, MANY SPECULATIONS ABOUT

THESE REVELATIONS,

THIS PUBLICATION OF
THE THIRD PART OF THE SECRET.

BUT I DON'T THINK
WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

WHY DO YOU THINK THE VATICAN
THOUGHT IT IMPORTANT

TO SUPPRESS
THE THIRD SECRET?

WHY NOT MAKE IT PUBLIC
AT THE TIME?

I FIND THAT AS GREAT A MYSTERY
AS THE SECRET ITSELF.

AND, YET, WHEN WE LOOK AT
THE NUMBER OF THINGS WHICH HAVE,

OVER THE CENTURIES,
BEEN CONSIDERED AS IMPORTANT

TO BE KEPT SECRET,

THERE ARE THOSE WHO FEEL

THAT CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE
MUST BE KEPT FROM THE PEOPLE.

TEND TO THINK
THAT THOSE IN POWER,

BOTH IN THE CHURCH
AND IN POLITICS,

HAVE A VERY LOW OPINION
OF THE REST OF US.

AND THERE'S ALWAYS THIS, "OH,
YOU MUSTN'T TELL THE PEOPLE.

THEY'LL PANIC."

WELL, I'M DAMNED
IF THEY'LL PANIC.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Gough: SO MUCH OF THE STORY
IS SUSPICIOUS.

YOU HAVE TO WONDER
HOW THE CHURCH HAS COUNTERED

ALL THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
HOW THEY COUNTER IT.

THEY COUNTER IT WITH
A TRUMP CARD THAT SAYS,

"WE TOOK THIS NUN,
WE TOOK HER TO VATICAN CITY,

AND WE BROUGHT HER IN,
AND WE SHOWED HER THE LETTER.

AND WE SAID,
'SISTER, THIS IS YOURS, RIGHT?'

AND SHE SAID,
'YES, I WROTE THAT.'"

BUT IMAGINE.
PUT YOURSELF IN HER SHOES.

SHE IS REALLY GETTING ON
IN YEARS.

SHE'S A NUN FROM RURAL PORTUGAL,
AND SHE'S NOW IN VATICAN CITY

WITH THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE
IN HER FAITH.

AND THEY'RE TELLING HER.
THEY'RE PRESSURING HER.

THIS IS LIKE
"CSI: VATICAN CITY."

SHE HAS NO CHOICE.
SHE HAS TO GIVE IN.

SHE'S PRESSURED.

UNDOUBTEDLY, SHE SAYS,
"YES, THIS IS WHAT I SAID."

Narrator:
ONE THING THAT ISN'T A SECRET

IS THAT THE PROPHECIES
ARE BIG BUSINESS IN FáTIMA.

IT'S ESTIMATED THAT SOME
FOUR AND A HALF MILLION PEOPLE

VISIT EVERY YEAR,

AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO SEE
THE VIRGIN MARY ON EVERYTHING

FROM MUGS AND TEA TOWELS
TO VIALS OF HOLY WATER.

JAMIE'S LOCAL GUIDE
AND DRIVER, ALEX,

HAS SEEN THE TOWN GROW
FROM A SMALL, RURAL COMMUNITY

INTO THE RELIGIOUS THEME PARK
IT IS TODAY.

Victorino:
WE ARE NEAR THE BASILICA.

THIS IS ONE OF
THE MAIN STREETS OF FáTIMA.

AS YOU CAN SEE,
IT'S FULLY CROWDED.

AND THEY EVEN HAVE
A WAX MUSEUM

WITH FIGURES
FROM THE RELIGION,

LIKE JOHN PAUL II,
THE SHEPHERDS.

Theakston:
EVERY SHOP LOOKS LIKE

IT'S SELLING
THE SAME KIND OF STUFF, RIGHT?

YES. WHAT ELSE?
[ LAUGHS ]

THEY'RE ALL SELLING DOLLS
OF MARY AND...

OH, IT MAKES SENSE

BECAUSE THE MAIN VISITORS HERE
ARE PILGRIMS, DEFINITELY.

WHEN THEY COME HERE, THEY WANT
TO TAKE SOMETHING WITH THEM.

SO, WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY
THAT WITHOUT THE PROPHECIES,

THERE WOULDN'T BE
ANY TOWN?

YEAH, PROBABLY, THIS WOULD BE
JUST PLAIN FIELDS

LIKE THEY WERE BEFORE,
YOU KNOW?

AND, OF COURSE, IT WOULD NOT BE
DEVELOPED LIKE IT IS.

Gough: FáTIMA IS
THE CHURCH'S DISNEYLAND.

AND, YES, YOU CAN BUY ROSARIES

AND THE SORTS OF THINGS
YOU'D EXPECT TO BUY.

BUT YOU CAN ALSO BUY
FáTIMA TOENAIL CLIPPERS.

YOU CAN BUY FáTIMA STRAW HATS
AND ANYTHING IN BETWEEN.

IT IS A MARKETING...

MARKETER'S DREAM,
WHAT IT HAS BECOME.

AND THERE'S NO SIGN
OF IT RELENTING.

IT'S GONNA BE
AND CONTINUE TO BE

THE SHOWCASE SIGHT
FOR THE CHURCH'S SUPERNATURAL

FOR DECADES TO COME.

WHAT'S INTERESTING
IS PORTUGAL AND SPAIN HAVE

A LONG TRADITION OF APPARITIONS.

THEY'VE BEEN SEEN
FOR MANY HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

BUT WHEN I SAY "APPARITIONS,"

IT'S NOT THE APPEARANCE
OF THE VIRGIN MARY.

IT'S ANOMALOUS LIGHTS.
IT'S STRANGE THINGS IN THE SKY.

AND IT'S TRUE.

THEY HAVE EXISTED IN THAT PART
OF THE WORLD FOR A LONG TIME.

SO IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE
THAT THESE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN

EXPERIENCED
THAT NATURAL PHENOMENON,

REPORTED IT,
AND THE CHURCH WENT,

"AHA! THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY."

Narrator: THE INCREDIBLE
MIRACLE OF THE SUN

THAT 70,000 PEOPLE WITNESSED
IN THE FIELDS OF FáTIMA,

AND JAMIE MEETS
A COUSIN OF SISTER LúCIA

WHEN "FORBIDDEN HISTORY"
RETURNS.

Narrator: JOURNALIST
JAMIE THEAKSTON IS INVESTIGATING

THE SO-CALLED PROPHECIES
OF FáTIMA.

IT'S CLAIMED THAT IN 1917,

THE VIRGIN MARY APPEARED IN SOME
FIELDS TO THREE YOUNG CHILDREN,

GIVING THEM WARNINGS
ABOUT FUTURE DISASTERS

TO AFFECT THE CHURCH
AND MANKIND.

SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE

THAT THE VATICAN
HAS DELIBERATELY COVERED UP

WHAT HAS BEEN RELEASED
TO THE PUBLIC

ABOUT THE CONTENTS
OF THE PROPHECIES,

CREATING ONE OF
THE GREAT RELIGIOUS CONSPIRACIES

OF MODERN TIMES.

[ PEOPLE SINGING IN PORTUGUESE ]

ON OCTOBER 13, 1917,

70,000 PEOPLE GATHERED IN
A FIELD IN FáTIMA

TO WITNESS WHAT'S BECOME KNOWN
AS "THE MIRACLE OF THE SUN."

ACCORDING TO EYEWITNESS REPORTS,
THE SUN CHANGED COLOR

AND SPUN AROUND
LIKE A WHEEL IN THE SKY,

CAUSING THE CROWD
TO DROP TO THEIR KNEES AND WEEP.

BUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

WAS THIS A CASE
OF MASS HYSTERIA,

OR HAD TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE WITNESSED

A VERY REAL MIRACLE?

[ SINGING CONTINUES ]

Theakston:
WAS IT NEAR HERE?

NO, IT WAS IN
ALL THIS SPACE.

ALL HERE?
YES.

THIS IS WHERE IT HAPPENED?
YES.

SO, LET'S JUST GO BACK TO 1917.
YES.

OCTOBER 13th.
MM-HMM.

SO, THERE'S
70,000 PEOPLE HERE?

YES. PEOPLE HERE.

YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE.

WE DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING OF THAT HERE.

NO.
THIS IS JUST A FIELD.

JUST A FIELD
WITH STONES AND WITH TREES.

THE PEOPLE WERE
EVERYWHERE HERE.

THE THREE CHILDREN
WERE CLOSE TO THE PLACE

WHERE NOW STANDS
THE STATUE OF OUR LADY THERE.

OKAY, SO THE THREE CHILDREN
ARE THERE.

YES, THEY PRAYED
THE ROSARY,

AND THE SISTER LúCIA
TELL US THAT

THEY PRAYED THE ROSARY
WITH A TERRIBLE RAIN.

AND THEN, SUDDENLY,
THE RAIN STOPS,

AND THE PEOPLE
LOOK TO THE SUN

AND SEE THE SUN
ROLLING AND APPROACHING.

DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
WAS THAT PART OF THE...?

NO.
WE DON'T KNOW THE MEANING.

THE MEANING TO THE PEOPLE
THAT WERE HERE

AND TO THE CHURCHES,

THAT WAS A CONFIRMATION
OF THE TRUTH OF

THE APPARITIONS
OF THE MESSAGE OF OUR LADY.

RIGHT, BECAUSE LúCIA
AND THE OTHER TWO,

THEY PREDICTED THAT
THAT WOULD HAPPEN.

YES.
SO THEY SAID...

YES, OUR LADY HAVE SAID
THAT IN OCTOBER,

IT WILL BE A MIRACLE

AND ALL THE PEOPLE WILL
BE CONVINCED OF THE...

THAT CHILDREN
SAID WAS TRUE.

DO YOU THINK THE VATICAN HAVE
BEEN LESS THAN TRANSPARENT?

Fanthorpe:
OH, I THINK THEY HAVE.

I THINK THAT
THERE MAY WELL BE SOMETHING

IN THAT MYSTERIOUS
THIRD SECRET,

WHICH, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW

OF A POWERFUL MEMBER
OF THE VATICAN HIERARCHY,

OUGHT NOT TO REACH
THE REST OF US BECAUSE...

NOW, THE "BECAUSE"
IS ONLY IN HIS MIND

OR IN TWO OR THREE MINDS
OF THE VATICAN,

RATHER THAN WHAT THE REST OF US
WOULD DO WITH IT IF WE GOT IT.

Narrator: SISTER LúCIA DIED
BACK IN 2005,

BUT JAMIE MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN
ONE OF HER COUSINS

WHO'D KNOWN HER
FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS

AND WHO AGREED
TO TALK ABOUT HER.

THESE ARE
THREE SHEPHERDS.

SHEP...
SEE LúCIA?

UH-HUH.

JACINTA.

AND FRANCISCO.

WOW.
LOOK AT THAT.

DID LúCIA BELIEVE

THE VATICAN REVEALED
THE TRUE THIRD SECRET IN 2000?

[ SPEAKING PORTUGUESE ]

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS."

[ LAUGHS ]

RUMBLINGS OF DISCONTENT
INSIDE THE VATICAN,

ACCUSATIONS OF FORGERIES
AND COVER-UPS,

AND WHAT COULD BE
THE REAL APOCALYPTIC MESSAGE

OF THE THIRD SECRET

WHEN "FORBIDDEN HISTORY"
RETURNS.

Narrator:
IT'S CLAIMED THAT IN 1917,

THE VIRGIN MARY APPEARED TO
THREE YOUNG SHEPHERD CHILDREN

IN THE FIELDS OF PORTUGAL,
GIVING THEM PROPHECIES ABOUT

FUTURE DISASTERS TO AFFECT
THE CHURCH AND MANKIND.

BUT A GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE
BELIEVE THAT

THE VATICAN
DELIBERATELY HID THE TRUTH

ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN RELEASED
TO THE PUBLIC.

JOURNALIST JAMIE THEAKSTON HAS
BEEN INVESTIGATING THE EVIDENCE,

INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT
THE REAL THIRD SECRET

REVEALED THE DATE
OF A COMING APOCALYPSE

AND THE DESTRUCTION OF
THE CHURCH IN ROME.

ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS

THAT SWIRLS AROUND
THE FáTIMA CONTROVERSY

IS WHETHER IT'S TRUE
THAT THE VATICAN EITHER LIED

ABOUT THE TRUE CONTENT
OF THE THIRD SECRET

OR AT LEAST DISTORTED THE TRUTH.

THEY'VE ALWAYS DENIED THIS,

BUT THE RUMORS
HAVEN'T GONE AWAY.

IN 2007, CARDINAL BERTONE,

THEN THE VATICAN'S
CHIEF OF STAFF,

WENT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION
IN ITALY TO SHOW THE WORLD

WHAT HE SAID WAS
THE REAL THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA.

HE REVEALED
A SEALED ENVELOPE DATED 1967,

IN WHICH WAS A LARGE PIECE
OF HANDWRITTEN TEXT

FOLDED INTO FOUR PARTS.

THIS, HE SAID,
WAS THE ACTUAL LETTER

ON WHICH SISTER LúCIA
WROTE DOWN HER PROPHECY.

Gough:
IF THE APPARITIONS WERE TRUE,

AND IF THE THIRD SECRET,

WHICH WAS HELD A SECRET
AND NOT TOLD TO THE PUBLIC

LONGER THAN ANY OTHER,
DECADES BEFORE IT WAS REVEALED,

THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION
IS THAT IT WAS APOCALYPTIC

OR DEALT WITH
THE END OF THE CHURCH

OR THE RISE OF
SATANIC INFLUENCES WITHIN IT.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING,
IN MY HEAD,

THAT THAT THIRD SECRET
COULD POSSIBLY

HAVE REALLY HAVE BEEN ABOUT.

Narrator: IN AN INTERVIEW
FOR A GERMAN MAGAZINE

PUBLISHED BACK IN OCTOBER, 1981,

POPE JOHN PAUL II WAS ASKED
EXPLICITLY TO SPEAK ABOUT

THE THIRD SECRET,
AND THIS WAS HIS REPLY.

"IT IS SAID THAT THE OCEANS

WILL FLOOD ENTIRE SECTIONS
OF THE EARTH,

THAT FROM ONE MOMENT
TO THE OTHER,

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL PERISH.

WE CAN DO NOTHING AGAINST
THIS CATASTROPHE

THAT HAS BEEN PREDICTED.

WE MUST BE PREPARED
TO UNDERGO GREAT TRIALS

IN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE,

TRIALS THAT WILL REQUIRE US

TO BE READY
TO GIVE UP EVEN OUR LIVES.

THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS AND MINE,

IT IS POSSIBLE TO ALLEVIATE
THIS TRIBULATION,

BUT IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE
TO AVERT IT."

ROB HOWELLS IS AN ENGLISH AUTHOR
AND RESEARCHER

WHO STUDIED THE FáTIMA
CONTROVERSY FOR YEARS.

HE BELIEVES
THE COVER-UP IS REAL

AND IT WAS DONE
TO PROTECT PEOPLE

FROM TERRIFYING
APOCALYPTIC REVELATIONS.

HEY, ROB.

Howells:
THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA

REVOLVES AROUND
THE APOCALYPSE,

AND WE KNOW THIS FROM
A NUMBER OF REASONS,

A NUMBER OF SOURCES
WITHIN THE CHURCH

AND FROM THE WITNESS HERSELF,
SISTER LúCIA,

WHO RECORDED...
IS ON RECORD AS STATING THAT

IT RELATES TO PART OF
THE BOOK OF REVELATION,

WHICH IS THE OPENING OF
THE SEVEN SEALS

AND THE DESTRUCTION OF ROME
AND THE FINAL APOCALYPSE.

ROB HOWELLS SAYS THAT
HE DISCUSSED THE THIRD SECRET

WITH A SENIOR VATICAN OFFICIAL
BACK IN THE 1990s.

THIS PRIEST CONFIRMED THAT
THE PROPHECY HAD BEEN DISCUSSED

AT THE VERY HIGHEST LEVELS
IN THE VATICAN

AND THAT
ITS TRUE CONTENT INCLUDED

A GRAVE APOCALYPTIC MESSAGE.

POPE JOHN PAUL II
ALSO WENT ON RECORD TO SAY

THAT IF YOU'D READ
THE BOOK OF REVELATION,

AND YOU KNEW THAT THE OCEANS
WOULD INUNDATE THE WORLD

AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WOULD DIE
IN ONE DAY,

THEN YOU'D LEARN
NOTHING MORE

FROM THE RELEASE
OF THE THIRD SECRET.

ROB SAYS THAT HE WAS ALSO TOLD
THAT SISTER LúCIA HAD BEEN GIVEN

THE ACTUAL DATE OF
THE START OF THIS APOCALYPSE

AND THE SUBSEQUENT
GLOBAL DESTRUCTION.

APPARENTLY,
ACCORDING TO THE PRIEST,

SHE DID PASS THIS INFORMATION
ALONG TO POPE JOHN PAUL II,

BUT HE DIED SHORTLY AFTER,
TAKING THE DATE TO HIS GRAVE.

THIS WAS THE SECRET
THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY

TO BE RELEASED IN 1960
BUT WAS HELD BACK.

IN THE YEAR 2000, A VERSION
OF IT WAS FINALLY RELEASED.

BUT WE KNOW THAT THAT VERSION
WASN'T THE ACTUAL PROPHECY

BECAUSE IT DIFFERS FROM

WHAT THE GIRL HAD WRITTEN
IN HER JOURNAL AT THE TIME.

SHE'D WRITTEN
THE FIRST LINE,

THAT THEIR FAITH WOULD
ALWAYS BE STRONG IN PORTUGAL.

AND THE VERSION THEY RELEASED
HAD NO SUCH FIRST LINE.

SO, NOT ONLY DID THEY HOLD IT
BACK FOR A FURTHER 40 YEARS,

WHEN THEY FINALLY
RELEASED SOMETHING,

IT WASN'T THE TEXT
OF THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA.

SO IT MUST BE
OF SUCH IMPORTANCE

THAT IT WAS FELT THAT THE PUBLIC
WEREN'T READY TO HEAR IT.

THE FIRE OF CONTROVERSY
OVER THE THIRD SECRET

HAS BEEN FUELED BY A NUMBER OF
ITALIAN AUTHORS AND JOURNALISTS

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
WHO HAVE CHALLENGED THE VATICAN

TO REVEAL THE TRUE CONTENT
OF THE PROPHECY.

SEVERAL BOOKS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN,

THERE HAVE BEEN DEBATES
ON TELEVISION,

AND THE ITALIAN PRESS
HAS BEEN FULL OF ARTICLES.

ONE OF THE VATICAN'S
LEADING CRITICS

IS THE JOURNALIST,
SOLIDEO PAOLINI,

WHO AGREED TO MEET JAMIE
IN A ROME HOTEL.

Paolini:
[ SPEAKING ITALIAN ]

WHY HAS THE VATICAN
COVERED THIS UP?

WHAT IS IT THAT
THE VATICAN AREN'T TELLING US?

SOLIDEO PAOLINI BELIEVES
THAT THE TRUE THIRD SECRET

FORETOLD THE CURRENT CRISIS
WITHIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH,

INCLUDING
THE CHILD-ABUSE SCANDAL

AND THE CONTROVERSY SWIRLING
AROUND THE VATICAN BANK

AND THE ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD.

HE SAYS HE'S BEEN TOLD
BY HIS VATICAN CONTACTS

THAT THE REAL THIRD SECRET
ALSO TALKS ABOUT

THE CHURCH IN ROME
LOSING ITS WAY

AND BEING SEDUCED
BY THE FORCES OF EVIL.

THE VATICAN CLAIMED
THAT THEY HAVE REVEALED

EVERYTHING THERE IS TO DO
WITH THE COVER-UP

AND THERE'S
NO MORE INFORMATION...

THEY'RE NOT HIDING
ANYTHING.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE
OF THAT?

IT WOULD SEEM
THE VATICAN ARE IN

A STATE OF TURMOIL
AT THE MOMENT.

DO YOU THINK THAT WE ARE SEEING
THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA,

THE PROPHECY, COMING TRUE?

I THINK IT MIGHT EVEN
HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH THE UNTIMELY RESIGNATION
OF BENEDICT.

YOU SEE, THAT HASN'T HAPPENED
FOR 600 YEARS.

AND THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
SOMETHING WHICH,

AGAIN, IS NOT OF ANY
GREAT IMPORTANCE TO MOST OF US,

BUT WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN
SOMETHING UNTHINKABLE TO THEM.

AND, THEREFORE, IF SOMEBODY HAD,
AS THEY WILL SAY,

READ THAT THE NEXT POPE
IS GOING...

THAT POPE BENEDICT
IS GOING TO RESIGN

BEFORE HE DIES IN OFFICE,

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED
AS SOMETHING SO TRAUMATIC

WITHIN THE VATICAN HIERARCHY.

"OH, MUSTN'T LET PEOPLE
KNOW THAT.

POPE... IT'LL CHANGE THE WORLD."

HAD PRACTICALLY
NO IMPRESSION ON ANYBODY.

THE GUY'S RESIGNED.
WELL, GOOD LUCK.

HE WAS 85 AND FEELING HIS AGE.

Narrator: EDWARD PENTIN
IS THE ROME CORRESPONDENT

FOR THE CATHOLIC HERALD.

HE'S BEEN A VATICAN INSIDER
FOR OVER A DECADE

AND AGREED TO MEET WITH JAMIE

AND GIVE HIM HIS TAKE ON
THE FáTIMA AFFAIR.

Theakston: DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT THERE WAS A COVER-UP,

THAT THE VATICAN
DELIBERATELY MISLED THE PUBLIC

OVER THE SECRET OF FáTIMA?

I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK
THAT'S THE CASE.

I THINK CARDINAL BERTONE,
WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF...

WHO WAS ARCHBISHOP THEN
IN CHARGE OF THIS...

THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA,

GAVE A VERY STRONG STATEMENT
SAYING THAT,

"THIS IS ALL HEARSAY."

WHAT HE'S REVEALED
IS THE FULL SECRET,

THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA.

I THINK A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO
WITH THE FACT THAT CERTAIN...

ITALY, THERE'S A CERTAIN CULTURE
IN THE MEDIA

OF LOOKING AT
THE VATICAN PARTICULARLY

AND SEEING
LOTS OF CONSPIRACIES.

AND IT'S CALLED IN ITALIAN,
"DIETROLOGIA,"

WHICH MEANS
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING

IN THE BACKGROUND GOING ON
WHICH WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.

THAT'S NOT TO SAY
THAT THERE ISN'T,

BUT I THINK, OFTEN, THERE IS
A CERTAIN DEFAULT POSITION

AMONG CERTAIN ITALIAN
JOURNALISTS

WHO LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, "THIS
ISN'T ALL THAT WE'RE BEING TOLD.

THERE'S MORE TO IT.
THERE MUST BE MORE TO IT."

AND, IN FACT, SISTER LúCIA
DID ACTUALLY AGREE

WITH CARDINAL BERTONE'S
STATEMENT

SAYING THAT EVERYTHING
HAS BEEN REVEALED,

AND WHAT'S BEEN REVEALED
IS TRUE.

SO I DON'T THINK ONE
CAN EASILY CONTEND

THAT THERE IS
A CONSPIRACY GOING ON... NOT NOW

BUT, OBVIOUSLY,
SOME PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE THAT.

JAMIE JOINS THE CROWDS
IN ST. PETER'S SQUARE

FOR A PAPAL MASS,

QUESTIONS ARE RAISED ABOUT

THE VERY FUTURE OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH,

AND A VATICAN INSIDER
DEFENDS THE ALLEGATIONS

OF FORGERIES AND COVER-UPS
OF THE THIRD SECRET

WHEN "FORBIDDEN HISTORY"
RETURNS.

Narrator: HERE IN FáTIMA,

ON SIX OCCASIONS
BETWEEN MAY AND OCTOBER 1917,

IT IS SAID THAT
THE VIRGIN MARY APPEARED TO

THREE YOUNG
PORTUGUESE CHILDREN...

LúCIA SANTOS
AND HER TWO COUSINS,

FRANCISCO AND JACINTA.

BUT HAS THE TRUE CONTENT
OF THESE PROPHECIES

REALLY BEEN RELEASED
TO THE PUBLIC,

OR HAS THE VATICAN WITHHELD
VITAL INFORMATION?

JOURNALIST JAMIE THEAKSTON
IS IN ROME

ON A MISSION
TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH,

INCLUDING CLAIMS OF
A COMING APOCALYPSE

AND THAT FRANCIS WILL BE
THE LAST POPE.

[ CHANTING IN ITALIAN ]

EVERY SUNDAY IN ROME,
WHEN HE'S IN TOWN,

THE POPE MAKES AN APPEARANCE
IN ST. PETER'S SQUARE

TO ADDRESS AND BLESS THE CROWD.

IN THE WANING YEARS
OF BENEDICT'S REIGN,

THE NUMBERS HAD DWINDLED
TO A FEW THOUSAND.

BUT THE NEW POPE, FRANCIS,
IS DRAWING HUGE CROWDS

AS JAMIE AND ROB HOWELLS
FOUND OUT FOR THEMSELVES.

Theakston: WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND,
YOU REALLY GET THAT SENSE OF

JUST HOW POWERFUL
AND HOW POPULAR STILL,

YOU KNOW,
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS.

IT SEEMS RATHER FAR-FETCHED,
DON'T YOU THINK,

THAT THIS IS GONNA BE...
WE'RE PROPHESIZING

THE END OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH,
DON'T YOU THINK?

YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT

CHRISTIANITY
IS AN APOCALYPTIC FAITH.

IT HAS
AN APOCALYPTIC ENDING.

SO ALL THESE PEOPLE HERE
WILL BELIEVE IN

SOME FORM OF APOCALYPSE,
BE IT SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL.

YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE DESTRUCTIVE.
IT MAY BE EARTHQUAKES.

AND IT MAY BE
SOMETHING MORE PERSONAL.

BUT THEY'RE ALL BELIEVING
IN APOCALYPSE.

AND THEY ALL BELIEVE,
TO SOME EXTENT,

THAT IT'S IMMANENT
BECAUSE IT WAS PROPHESIZED

THAT AFTER 2,000 YEARS
FROM THE LIFE OF CHRIST

THAT HE WOULD RETURN TO OVERSEE
THIS KIND OF FINAL EVENT.

AND THAT THIS...
ACCORDING TO MALACHY,

THIS MAY BE
THE LAST POPE

THAT ALSO IS PRESENT
AT THE APOCALYPSE.

[ SPEAKING ITALIAN ]

Howells: MALACHY'S PROPHECY
STATES THAT THIS FINAL POPE,

POPE FRANCIS,
IS THE FINAL POPE.

THE PETER OF ROME,
PETER THE ROMAN,

WHO WILL OVERSEE
THE FALL OF THE VATICAN

AND THE END OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH,

AND THAT IT WILL BE DESTRUCTED,
THAT ROME WILL BE DESTROYED.

SO, WE'VE REACHED
THAT DAY.

YOU'VE GOT QUITE
A SORT OF LITERAL IDEA

OF WHAT
THE PROPHECY MEANS.

DO PEOPLE HAVE
DIFFERENT OPINIONS

OR DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS
OF WHAT IT MIGHT BE?

IT COULD BE
PURELY SPIRITUAL.

IT COULD BE THE COLLAPSE
OF THE VATICAN,

THE COLLAPSE OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH,

THAT, AT SOME POINT,
THEY HAND BACK

CONTROL OR BELIEF OR FAITH
TO INDIVIDUALS,

WHEREAS BEFORE,
PEOPLE WOULD FIND GOD DIRECTLY.

THIS IDEA IS THAT YOU DON'T NEED
A POPE OR A PRIEST

AND YOU GO BACK TO
A KIND OF GNOSTIC.

JUST AS JESUS
ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE

COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY
WITH GOD

AND NOT GONE TO
THE PRIESTS

AND WOULD HAVE ARGUED
WITH THE PRIESTS,

THERE MAY COME A TIME

WHEN THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE
DON'T NEED A POPE,

AND IT MAY BE
THAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT

THE END OF THE CHURCH
IN THAT FORM,

AND THAT IT TAKES
ANOTHER FORM.

THESE ARE DARK
AND DIFFICULT TIMES

FOR THE VATICAN

AND POSSIBLY
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

AS A PRIEST YOURSELF,
LIONEL,

DO YOU THINK THAT
THE THIRD PROPHECY

MIGHT BE COMING TRUE?

Fanthorpe: WELL,
AS A VERY SIMPLE, EVERYDAY,

AND ORDINARY SERVING PRIEST,

I WOULD FIND
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CHURCH

IS VERY DISTURBING.

AND I HAVE ALWAYS SEPARATED
IN MY MIND

WHAT I THINK OF
AS CHURCH-IANITY,

WHICH IS AN ORGANIZATION

WITH PEOPLE STRUGGLING
FOR POWER AT THE TOP

AND NOT NECESSARILY
ALWAYS BEHAVING

AS WE RATHER HOPE THEY WOULD,

FROM CHRISTIANITY,
WHICH TAKES ME BACK TO

THE CARPENTER OF NAZARETH WHO
TAUGHT US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

AND WHERE JESUS SAYS, "INASMUCH
AS YOU HAVE DONE IT TO

ONE OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
YOU'VE DONE IT TO ME."

NOW, THAT, FOR ME, IS THE CORE
OF TRUE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.

THAT IS THE RELIGION
OF WHICH I WANT TO BE A PRIEST.

IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT THE THIRD PROPHECY

SAID SOMETHING
ABOUT THE DOWNFALL OF THE CHURCH

UNLESS BETTER THINGS WERE DONE,
BETTER BEHAVIOR CAME?

BECAUSE IT DOES LOOK,
FROM A GLOBAL POINT OF VIEW,

THAT THE CHURCH IS IN
VERY SERIOUS TROUBLE.

Narrator:
THE VATICAN'S OFFICIAL POSITION

IS THAT THE TRUE TEXT
OF THE THIRD SECRET

WAS REVEALED IN 2000,
AND THAT'S THAT.

THERE IS NO CONTROVERSY,
THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY COVER-UP,

AND NO ONE
HAS LIED ABOUT ANYTHING.

JAMIE TRIED TO TALK TO SOME
SENIOR OFFICIALS AT THE VATICAN

ABOUT THIS SUBJECT,
BUT THEY DECLINED.

HOWEVER, HE WAS PUT IN TOUCH
WITH MICHAEL HESEMANN,

A GERMAN AUTHOR AND HISTORIAN

WHO'S WORKED CLOSELY
WITH THE VATICAN FOR YEARS.

HE CO-AUTHORED A BOOK,
"MY BROTHER, THE POPE"

WITH MONSIGNOR GEORG RATZINGER,
POPE BENEDICT'S OLDER BROTHER,

AND HAS BEEN INVOLVED
WITH DATING IMPORTANT RELICS

FOR THE HOLY SEE
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

Theakston: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT
THE VATICAN HAS COVERED UP

THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA?

NOT AT ALL.
CERTAINLY NOT.

FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NO REASON
TO COVER IT UP. WHY?

BECAUSE IF YOU READ
THE SUMMONS,

THE HOMILIES GIVEN
BY POPE BENEDICT HIMSELF

IN THE LAST COUPLE
OF YEARS,

THEY ARE MUCH MORE SEVERE EVEN
AND MUCH MORE SERIOUS EVEN

THAN THE STRONGEST VERSION
OF THE ALLEGED FáTIMA SECRET.

SECOND, TO BELIEVE
THERE'S A COVER-UP

WOULD MEAN TO BELIEVE
THAT BOTH THE LAST POPE,

POPE BENEDICT
AND POPE JOHN PAUL II

WERE LIARS.

ALSO, CARDINAL BERTONE,
WHO INVESTIGATED IT ON BEHALF

OF POPE JOHN PAUL II

AND WHO PREPARED
THE PUBLICATION BY BOTH OF THEM,

BERTONE HIMSELF
AND CARDINAL RATZINGER,

WHO LATER BECAME
POPE BENEDICT XVI.

SO TO BELIEVE THAT POPES
WERE LIARS, I MEAN, WHY?

WHY?
THERE'S NO INTENTION.

THERE'S NO REASON
FOR SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS CLAIM.

TO MAKE SUCH A BIG CLAIM,
YOU HAVE TO HAVE EVIDENCE.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE AT ALL, AND
THERE'S NO REASON TO COVER IT UP

BECAUSE WHAT SHOULD BE
MORE HARDER THAN THE DEATH

OF MAYBE HUNDREDS OF PRIESTS
AND BISHOPS,

OF THE DESTROYED CITY OF ROME
AND AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT,

OR EVEN AN ASSASSINATION
IN A VISION OF A POPE?

THERE'S NOTHING
MORE HARDER YOU CAN IMAGINE,

NOTHING MORE SERIOUS
TO BE COVERED UP.

YOU'VE ASKED BERTONE
YOURSELF

ABOUT THE THIRD SECRET
OF FáTIMA.

WHAT DID HE HAVE
TO SAY?

AFTER THE HOLY SEE PUBLISHED
THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA,

I WANTED TO KNOW
THE WHOLE STORY.

SO I GOT AN INTERVIEW
WITH CARDINAL BERTONE,

A TWO HOURS' INTERVIEW IN
THE PRESENCE OF GEORG GANSWEIN,

WHO WAS A YOUNG MONSIGNOR AT
THE CONGREGATION AT THAT TIME.

AND I WANTED TO KNOW
EVERYTHING FROM HIM.

AND HE TOLD ME,
VERY FRANKLY,

HE WAS COMMISSIONED
BY POPE JOHN PAUL II

TO PREPARE THE PUBLICATION.

HE FLEW TO PORTUGAL
SEVERAL TIMES

TO MEET WITH SISTER LúCIA,

THE ONLY SURVIVING
OF THE THREE CHILDREN OF FáTIMA,

IN HER CARMEL CONVENT
IN COIMBRA.

AND ONE TIME, HE BROUGHT
THE ORIGINAL ENVELOPE,

THE VERY ENVELOPE
WHICH WAS LATER PUBLISHED

AND SHOWED IT TO HER
AND SAID,

"IS THIS THE THIRD SECRET?"
AND SHE CONFIRMED IT.

SHE WAS COMPLETELY
IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

AND HE ASKED,
"IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE

WHICH WE DON'T HAVE
WHICH WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?"

AND SHE SAID, "NO.
THIS IS THE ONLY THIRD SECRET."

SO, OF COURSE, YOU CAN SAY
CARDINAL BERTONE,

THE CARDINAL SECRETARY
OF STATE OF THE VATICAN,

AND TWO POPES
ARE LIARS.

BUT IS THIS REASONABLE?
WHY?

THERE IS NOTHING
MORE HORRIBLE

THAN THE CONTENT OF
THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA,

THE DESTRUCTION, THE TOTAL
DESTRUCTION OF ROME,

AND THE MURDER, AN ATTACK,
A MURDEROUS ATTACK,

ON THE ROMAN COURIER
AND THE POPE HIMSELF.

THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION
WHY IT WAS KEPT SECRET,

BECAUSE THE CONTENT
WAS SO HORRIBLE.

BUT NOBODY WANTED EVEN
TO DEAL WITH THE IDEA

THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN.

Narrator: WITH ALL
THE ACCUSATIONS AND INTRIGUE

ABOUT THE THIRD SECRET
SWIRLING AROUND ROME,

IT'S EASY TO FORGET THAT
IT ALL STARTED BACK IN FáTIMA

IN 1917 IN A REMOTE FIELD
WITH THREE YOUNG CHILDREN.

THE PROPHECIES GIVEN TO THEM

HAVE HAD A HUGE IMPACT
ON THE CHURCH

AND CHANGED
THEIR LITTLE VILLAGE FOREVER.

Theakston: IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,
FATHER CARLOS,

LOOKING OUT HERE NOW THAT
THIS WAS ALL JUST ONCE FIELDS

NOT THAT LONG AGO.

I MEAN...

FáTIMA HAS ALMOST A CENTURY.

BUT AT
THE BEGINNING HERE,

THERE WAS NOTHING
BUT STONES AND SOME TREES.

ALSO, THESE PLACES WHERE WE ARE,
THE CITY...

THIS LITTLE TOWN OF FáTIMA
HAS GROWED.

THAT MEANS WE HAVE NOW
MANY HOTELS,

MANY RESTAURANTS,
MANY SHOPS.

BUT ALSO, THIS PLACE,

WHICH IS THE REASON OF
MILLION OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR

COMES TO FáTIMA.

EVERYONE I SEE
AND EVERYTHING,

FROM THE PEOPLE
AND THE SHOPS AND THE HOTELS

ALL SEEM TO BE
DIRECTLY RELATED

TO THE WHOLE FáTIMA INDUSTRY,
RIGHT?

EXACTLY.
IT'S THE MAIN INDUSTRY.

IT'S A WAY
THAT THE PEOPLE...

BECAUSE OTHERWISE, THIS WOULD BE
JUST A SMALL VILLAGE,

RURAL PROBABLY
AND QUITE POOR, ACTUALLY,

'CAUSE THE BIGGEST TOWN IS ABOUT
20 KILOMETERS FROM HERE.

WELL, THIS SMALL VILLAGE
DEVELOPED TO BE A TOWN.

BUT A TOWN FULL OF HOTELS
AND FULL OF SHOPS.

SO, DID
THE THIRD SECRET PROPHESY

THE COLLAPSE OF THE VATICAN
AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH,

OR WAS IT A LARGER APOCALYPSE

THAT WOULD DESTROY
MANKIND ITSELF?

JAMIE THEAKSTON EXAMINES
THE INCREDIBLE EVIDENCE

WHEN "FORBIDDEN HISTORY"
RETURNS.

Narrator: JOURNALIST
JAMIE THEAKSTON IS INVESTIGATING

THE CLAIMS THAT THE VATICAN
HAS SOMEHOW COVERED UP

THE TRUTH OF
THE SO-CALLED SECRETS OF FáTIMA.

WERE THE THREE PORTUGUESE
SHEPHERD CHILDREN

WARNED BY THE VIRGIN MARY

OF THE COLLAPSE
OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?

DID THE PROPHECIES ALSO REVEAL
A COMING APOCALYPSE

AND PERHAPS THE DESTRUCTION
OF MANKIND ITSELF?

AND ARE THE LETTERS
THAT WOULD PROVE THIS

LOCKED AWAY
IN THE VATICAN ARCHIVES?

AFTER SISTER LúCIA DIED,

DID BERTONE ISSUE
THE ORDER

TO HAVE THE PAPERS SEIZED
AND TO SEAL UP THE ROOM?

Paolini:
[ SPEAKING ITALIAN ]

Gough: I THINK THE THIRD SECRET
TRULY WAS ABOUT

THE END OF THE CHURCH
AS WE KNOW IT,

POSSIBLY THE END OF THE WORLD,

POSSIBLY THE RISE
OF EVIL FORCES,

SUCH AS SATANISM.

I THINK IT HAD TO BE ABOUT THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW,
I THINK THE CHURCH REALLY MISSED

AN OPPORTUNITY 20 YEARS AGO
TO BE HONEST ABOUT THAT

AND TO SPIN THAT
BECAUSE LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENED.

IT'S ALL COME TO FRUITION.

WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT FOR
THE VATICAN TO KEEP THIS SECRET?

I THINK IT SPEAKS OF
THE END TIMES

AND OF THE END
OF THE VATICAN ITSELF.

AND I THINK, OBVIOUSLY, THAT
WITH OVER ONE BILLION MEMBERS,

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WOULD BE
THROWN INTO A STATE OF PANIC.

IF PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVED THAT
THERE WAS AN IMPENDING EVENT

THAT WAS
WORLDWIDE DESTRUCTION,

YOU CAN'T KNOW
HOW PEOPLE WOULD REACT TO THAT.

AND IF IT'S AN INEVITABLE EVENT,
WHAT CAN YOU REALLY DO ABOUT IT?

DO YOU THINK
THERE'S BEEN A COVER-UP

OF THE THIRD SECRET OF FáTIMA?

Fanthorpe:
I BELIEVE IN HUMAN FREEDOM.

I DO NOT BELIEVE

THAT THE FUTURE CAN EVER
BE ACCURATELY PREDICTED.

AND FAR FROM BEING A PREDICTION
OF SOME FUTURE EVENT

WHICH IS INEVITABLE,

IT SHOULD BE REGARDED
AS A WARNING.

AND WHATEVER MESSAGE
THOSE CHILDREN RECEIVED,

THIS THIRD SECRET
IS THE MYSTERIOUS ONE,

WAS NOT TO TELL OF
AN INEVITABLE DISASTER,

BUT TO, IN RATHER PICTORIAL WAY,

JUST AS THE FIRST SECRET
WAS A VISION OF HELL,

WHICH TERRIFIED THEM
DESPERATELY,

THIS WAS MEANT TO CONVEY A FEAR

THAT UNLESS WE ALL STARTED
BEHAVING IN A BETTER WAY,

THIS IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

THIS IS WHAT THE DARK SIDE
OF HUMAN NATURE WOULD DO TO US.

Narrator: SO, AT THE END OF
HIS INVESTIGATION,

THE KEY QUESTIONS FOR JAMIE
REMAIN.

WHAT DID THOSE THREE CHILDREN
WITNESS IN FáTIMA

ALMOST A CENTURY AGO?

WHAT WERE THEY TOLD?

AND HAS THERE REALLY BEEN
A VATICAN COVER-UP

OF WHAT'S BEEN RELEASED
TO THE PUBLIC?

WE MIGHT NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH.

BUT IF THE THIRD SECRET DID GIVE
AN ACTUAL DATE

FOR A COMING APOCALYPSE
THAT WOULD WIPE OUT HUMANITY,

WHICH WE COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT,

THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE
THAT A STATE OF IGNORANCE

ISN'T SUCH A BAD THING
AFTER ALL.
