(Stigmatist) Antonio Ruffini On Consecration of Russia
Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) authorized the blessing of a chapel on the spot where Ruffini received the stigmata on the Via Apia, and Father Tomas, the miracle worker, wrote a booklet about him a short account of the life of Ruffini. I myself (Fr. Kramer) knew Ruffini for many years. In the early 1990s Ruffini was asked point blank in his home: Is John Paul II the Pope who is going to do the Consecration of Russia? He answered: No, it s not John Paul. It will not be his immediate successor either, but the one after that. He is the one who will consecrate Russia. That is, Benedicts successor (Francis is an antipope), during this time of world war and persecution of the Church."
