In Defense of God s Right

by Father Nicholas Gruner, S.T.L., S.T.D. (Cand.)

Recently, while I was being interviewed for a radio show, I was asked a
question that previously a Bishop had put to me. In brief, the question I
was asked is, How can the Pope and the Bishops consecrate Russia
without the Russians consent? This is a very important question for
us to answer, so that all will know that THE BISHOPS DO NOT NEED THE
CONSENT OF THE GOVERNMENT OR OF THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA BEFORE
THE POPE AND BISHOPS OBEY THE COMMAND OF GOD TO CONSECRATE
RUSSIA.

In reply, let us first note that the atheistic regime of Communism was imposed by satan
upon the majority of Russians who were believers in 1917, without their prior consent.
Furthermore, satan does not have any right to impose his rule anywhere.
Nor is it right for the atheists and the impious to rule over God-loving people.
On the contrary, God, Who owns everyone and everything because He is their
Creator, has the RIGHT OF ABSOLUTE DOMINION over all things and persons.
A man enjoys a limited right of ownership, yet do we say to a man, By
what right do you use your wood to make a table? Maybe it wants to be a
chair. God owns us and Russians and all of creation much more absolutely
than any man can own a piece of wood. That is because as Creator, He made us
out of nothing and therefore owns all of creation absolutely. He has the absolute
right of using us or any part of His Creation as He sees fit. He decided that He

wants Russia and her people to be set aside for His service in a special way. He
has a right to so decide as Creator.
The Absolute Dominion, the Absolute Ownership by God, is very different
from the right that a man exercises. A man or woman can be said in one sense
to own his/her own body. But this is true only in a limited sense. Speaking more
precisely, a person is only a steward of all that he owns, including his body. In
relation to other human beings, each one can be said to be owner of his own
property and body. But in relation to God, we are only stewards, managers,
administrators of those goods that God has entrusted to us to administer for His
Honor and Glory. At the end of each of our lives we will have to give an
accounting of how we have used God s possessions that He left us on earth to
administer for Him. Thus, God will demand an accounting of those women who
used their bodies to kill their babies, while saying, We have a right over our
own bodies.
Similarly, God will demand an accounting of the Pope and Bishops who
have the priestly power to consecrate Russia but do not use it as He
commanded. Similarly, He will demand an accounting of us who did not use our
resources and powers to do what we can to live, to spread the Message of
Fatima and to see to the extent of our power that the Message of Fatima is
known and obeyed by those around us.
Thus God, by His Absolute Dominion over all of Creation, can rightly
indicate that He wants a certain country and people to be set aside for His
service. It is His right. Neither we nor anyone else has a right to oppose the
Consecration of Russia to God through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. To
oppose this right of God would be a sin. No one can rightly oppose the
Consecration of Russia - not even the Russians. No one, least of all the Pope
and the Bishops, should be deterred from obeying God or working to see that
God is obeyed in this matter. Not even the objections of atheists or diplomats
who try to placate the atheists should deter the Bishops from obeying God.

God has given to the Pope and the Bishops the high-priestly power of
dedicating and consecrating people and things to His service. God gave them
this power to use according to His will. Through the Message of Fatima He
clearly commands the Pope and the Bishops to use this priestly power in favor
of Russia, which has been specially chosen by God.
The Church has rightly understood that the will of the people is not needed
before that people is consecrated to God. Thus the whole world was consecrated
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Pope Leo XIII over 80 years ago. The world was
consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by Pope Pius XII, Pope Paul VI
and Pope John Paul II. All the people and governments of the world were not
consulted before the Popes made these Acts of Consecration.
