In this introductory letter to The Fatima Crusader Issue 76, Father Gruner explains that there are great dangers currently threatening our lives and our souls, but at the same time we have been given a great grace with the release of Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of The Christ.

This follow-up article, first published in February 2004 (See Fatima News & Views), concerns the new ecumenical plans for the Fatima Shrine. This article demonstrates that in the midst of the backlash created by Rector Guerra's own comments, despite his recent attempts to deny his plans, Fatima Shrine Rector Guerra has actually confirmed his plans to allow explicit pagan worship into the Fatima Sanctuary.

Each one of us has been created to become saints. In this article Saint Louis de Montfort explains why great saints are especially needed in these Last Times. He also explains why God has ordained that Mary be specifically known and loved in these Last Times, and clarifies both the role She has been given in crushing the reign of satan, and what roles we are called to play in this battle.

There is currently much confusion within the Church, even among the bishops and Cardinals, on the subject of true religious unity.

Pope Pius XI clearly defines what true religious unity is in the encyclical letter, Mortalium Animos, reprinted here.

It is necessary in these last times to live the Fatima Message in our daily lives, through prayer - especially the Rosary - penance and having devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart. It is by this means that we not only save our own souls, but also various souls that God has placed on our path.

Father Charles Fiore, a good friend of The Fatima Crusader, died in 2003. A month before his death, at his own expense he mailed the book The Devil's Final Battle to a hundred of his friends. Reprinted here is the heartfelt letter he sent with the book.
