Mark Mallett is a Canadian Catholic missionary and singer/songwriter, who publishes a spiritual blog called The Now Word in which he defends both the Church and the current pope, Francis. Here are excerpts from an article posted on March 4, 2025:1
Russia remains one of the most mysterious countries in both historical and current affairs. It is "ground zero" for several seismic events in both history and prophecy.
For instance, Freemasons considered Russia to be the best candidate to experiment with a synthesis of Enlightenment philosophies:
Communism, which so many believed to be an invention of Marx, had been fully hatched in the mind of the Illuminists long before he was put on the payroll. —Stephen Mahowald, She Shall Crush Thy Head, p. 101
The organization of the secret societies was needed to transform the plans of the philosophers into a concrete and formidable system for the destruction of civilization. —Nesta Webster, World Revolution, p. 20, c. 1971
Thus, said Pius XI: Russia [was considered] the best-prepared field for experimenting with a plan elaborated decades ago, and who from there continue to spread it from one end of the world to the other. (Encyclical Letter Divini Redemptoris, n. 24)
So dangerous were the sophistries of practical atheism, materialism, evolutionism, rationalism, Marxism, etc. that eight popes in seventeen official documents condemned speculative Freemasonry, with over two hundred papal condemnations issued by the Church either formally or informally in less than three hundred years. And not only the Magisterium, but Heaven itself intervened in spectacular fashion with apocalyptic messages to warn of Russia's philosophic errors. Here is, for example, what Our Lady said at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917:
God… is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world. (…)
As you read above, Our Lady's triumph would hinge upon the conversion of Russia, particularly through its Consecration to her Immaculate Heart through the decisive intervention of the Holy Father. There were several attempts made throughout the decades but never quite according to Our Lady's requests, according to intense debate among theologians. Then, in March 25th, 2022, Pope Francis, in union with the bishops of the world, made this Consecration:
"Therefore, Mother of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine."
So, is Russia in a process of conversion? Many would argue yes… But clearly, this is an unfinished process particularly as Russia has become an instrument of war, not peace. An instrument, perhaps, of chastisement…
Again, the great irony is that Russia appears to be aligned now against the forces that are replicating the very errors her Communism had spread throughout the world. In a recent speech2. Russian President Vladimir Putin has essentially declared war on globalism. But before we get into his address, a few caveats… While I wholeheartedly agree with many things Putin says in this speech, I am in no way canonizing the man nor applauding his actions. Simply put, we are in a time of chastisement; the world is beginning to reap the whirlwind it has sown.
And just as God used imperfect and pagan vessels to purify Israel, so too, it appears so again. Here, we speak of the permissive will of God; for His active will is that mankind would simply return to Him without the necessity of chastisement.
My will wants to Triumph, and would want to Triumph by means of Love in order to Establish Its Kingdom. But man does not want to come to meet this Love, therefore, it is necessary to use Justice. —Jesus to Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta; Nov. 16th, 1926 (…)
After delving into a bit of the historical divide between the USSR and the West, Putin then turns his sites on "Western elites" (MICHAEL's note: when he talks about the West or Western elites, one must understand he actually targets, the International Bankers):
"The West is ready to step over everything in order to preserve the neo-colonial system that allows it to parasitize, in fact, to plunder the world at the expense of the power of the dollar and technological dictates, to collect real tribute from humanity, to extract the main source of unearned prosperity, the rent [ie. tax] of the hegemon. The maintenance of this rent is their key, genuine and absolutely self-serving motive.." (…)
Surprisingly, Putin's condemnation is really a confirmation of the Masonic intentions for America from the very first moments of its founding:
"Unless you understand the influence of the occult [ie. Masonic, Illuminati] societies and the development of America, on the establishment of America, on the course of America, why, you get completely lost studying our history… America would be used to lead the world into the philosophic empire. You understand that America was founded by Christians as a Christian nation. However, there were always those people on the other side who wanted to use America, abuse our military power and our financial power..." —The New Atlantis: Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings (video); interview Dr. Stanley Monteith
Who are these people who are "abusing" America's military and financial power? It has long been known that the world's wealthiest banking families, who are part of these "secret societies", have been pulling the strings of war and finance for centuries. Of them, Pope Benedict XVI warned:
"We think of the great powers of the present day, of the anonymous financial interests which turn men into slaves, which are no longer human things, but are an anonymous power which men serve, by which men are tormented and even slaughtered. They [i.e., anonymous financial interests] are a destructive power, a power that menaces the world." —Pope Benedict XVI, Reflection after the reading of the office for the Third Hour this morning in the Synod Aula, Vatican City, October 11, 2010 (…)
As Putin rightly observes: Now they have completely moved to a radical denial of moral norms, religion, and family. He then asks his fellow citizens:
"Do we want to have, here, in our country, in Russia, parent number one, number two, number three instead of mom and dad — have they gone mad out there? Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed on children in our schools from the primary grades? To be drummed into them that there are various supposed genders besides women and men, and to be offered a sex change operation?
"Do we want all this for our country and our children? For us, all this is unacceptable, we have a different future, our own future. I repeat, the dictatorship of the Western elites is directed against all societies, including the peoples of the Western countries themselves. This is a challenge for everyone. Such a complete denial of man, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, the suppression of freedom acquiring the features of a "reverse religion" — outright Satanism." (…)
In fact, this is nothing new from Putin, who said much the same thing nine years earlier in a similar condemnation of Western ideological colonization.
"We see many of the Euro-Atlantic countries are actually rejecting their roots, including the Christian values that constitute the basis of Western civilisation. They are denying moral principles and all traditional identities: national, cultural, religious and even sexual. They are implementing policies that equate large families with same-sex partnerships, belief in God with the belief in Satan… And people are aggressively trying to export this model all over the world. I am convinced that this opens a direct path to degradation and primitivism, resulting in a profound demographic and moral crisis. What else but the loss of the ability to self-reproduce could act as the greatest testimony of the moral crisis facing a human society?" —President Vladimir Putin, speech to the final plenary meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club, Sept. 19th, 2013. (…)
And so, one is left wondering: is Russia and/or her allies going to be the instrument of chastisement for the West? Several recent prophecies speak of the coming aggression of Russia. Whether they feel forced to act or whether it is nationalist ambition is the debate of the hour.
