On 13 May 2000, after disclosing the main contents of the third part of the Fatima secret, Cardinal Sodano observed: According to the ‘little shepherds’ – their interpretation was recently confirmed by Sister Lucia – ‘the bishop in white’ who prays for the faithful stands for the Pope. As he makes his arduous way toward the Cross amid the dead bodies of martyrs (bishops, priest, monks, nuns, and numerous lay people), he too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a hail of bullets.
