The last secret of Fatima has not yet been openly revealed and is the subject of great controversy today. In 1943, after having been asked by Bishop da Silva to write down the text of the Third Secret, Sister Lucy was finding the task difficult. She declared to the bishop that it was not absolutely necessary to write out the text, "since in a certain manner she had said it." Sister Lucy was very likely referring to the additional phrase she had inserted into her fourth memoir, "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved etc."
The phrase, "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved etc." is a promise that the true Faith will be preserved in that country, although in its vagueness it does not state by whom. Yet, if in Portugal the true Faith will be preserved, what does that imply about the rest of the world?
On September 10, 1984 the Bishop of Fatima, Alberto Cosme do Amaral, spoke of the Third Secret during a question and answer session at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. His comments, which were published in the February 1985 issue of Mensagem de Fatima, are as follows:
' The Secret of Fatima speaks neither of atomic bombs, nor nuclear warheads, nor Pershing missiles, nor SS-20’s. Its content concerns only our faith. To identify the Secret with catastrophic announcements or with a nuclear holocaust is to deform the meaning of the message. The loss of faith of a continent is worse than the annihilation of a nation; and it is true that faith is continually diminishing in Europe.'
Pope John Paul II told us essential elements of the Third Secret in his sermon on May 13, 1982, as well as in his sermon during the beatification ceremony of Blessed Jacinta and Francisco Marto at Fatima on May 13, 2000.
Pope John Paul II, in 1982, said that the Faith will be undermined and indirectly told us that the Third Secret is about this undermining of the Faith.
The Pope in his sermon during the beatification ceremony of 2000 warned the faithful to beware of the tail of the dragon, and he cited Chapter 12 verses 3 and 4 of the Book of the Apocalypse. The Book of the Apocalypse, Chapter 12 verse 4 speaks of the tail of the dragon sweeping one-third of the stars from heaven, which is commonly understood to mean one-third of the Catholic Clergy.

Yes, all the Secrets of Fatima have been revealed, and are found here, in Sr. Lucia's own handwriting, with an English interpretation:

There are some apostates out there who claim it was not revealed, such as Fr. Gruner and his phoney Fatima Crusader Magazine. He is a suspended priest who has no permission from any bishop to spread his dissention. Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing.

The message requires careful reflective reading, and is not intended as a proof-text to apply to events, it is written in a different kind of spiritual language, and requires guidance from the Church to interpret, not from sensationalists who trample it underfoot.

First the Vatican says that the content is way too disturbing and must remain a secret until humanity is ready, then they suddenly provide the BS that the secret is about a pope assassination. It sounds suspiciously like they came up with that to silence the growing pressure. I don't trust 'em.
