Paul VI knew the content of the third Secret of Fatima and perhaps had this very much in mind when he explained the postconciliar devastation and disasters as being the result of the irruption into the Church of an invisible and mysterious power, the devil. It is notable that several of the themes of his allocutions on 21 and 29 June correspond with those of the third Secret. But by concealing his own responsibility for the crisis of the Church, it is likely that Paul VI disdained one of the essential points of Our Lady's warnings concerning him personally at the very moment when it was being realised! 13.
