  Three Secrets of Fatima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Three Secrets of Fatima are said to be three prophecies that were given by an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three young Portuguese shepherds, Lucia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto.
Two of the secrets were revealed in 1941 in a document written by Lucia to assist with the canonization of her cousins, while the third was to remain secret, although the bishop of Leiria commanded Lucia to put it in writing and to present it to the Pope.
The text of the third secret was released by Pope John Paul II, on June 26, 2000, with the elderly Lucia in attendance.

The third secret was supposed to be unveiled in 1960, when Pope John XXIII opened it and quickly had it resealed.

 Third Secret of Fatima
Lucia, the remaining seer of Fatima, has told us that the secret could have been revealed in 1960, perhaps at that time the "big city" was on it's way to ruination; the degeneration of society and the abomination of God's holy temple were only half of what they are today.
Hence, in this prophetic revelation of the third secret of Fatima, the importance of Mary as the Mother of the Church, who is the Queen of Saints and Martyrs, is underscored.
Therefore, the vision of the third part of the “secret”, so distressing at first, concludes with an image of hope: no suffering is in vain, and it is a suffering Church, a Church of martyrs, which becomes a sign-post for man in his search for God.

It seems that Our Lady of Fatima is the only one to have spoken intelligibly, so that it is Her words that make up a telling commentary on the faltering and fumbling pastors of the Roman Church, that is why they have chosen to suppress Her words in the Third Secret.
