The authentic text of the third "secret" of Fatima is as follows:

[indent]
J.M.J.
The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 July 1917.
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.

1. Our Lady would never ... I repeat NEVER ... provide a revelation that called for the destruction of the Church of Rome. Believe me, we have had many a corrupt pope, bishop, and priest in the past and present; but Our Lady will never question their office.

2. The text of the third secret was written down in 1943. But the "secrets" were supposedly entrusted in 1917. That's way before the pontificates of either Pius XII or John Paul II. How could the author of the linked letters know to mention them by name?

3. Our Lord told his apostles, "Behold, I am with you even unto the end of this age" when providing them with dogmatic authority. He did not say he would take that authority away at some point in the future. Furthermore, if Christ DID decide to take away that authority, don't you think that information would come from Him, not His Mother? "He who giveth, taketh away" ... Christ gave the authority, so therefore it is only Christ who can "take away" that authority.

4. In the biblical passage quoted at one of your links, "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.", is referring to the Jews, not the Catholic Church.

5. The picture of the letter does indeed say what the website says it says, but it is not signed. It is therefore impossible to attribute to any person. A bishop would certainly have written his name on it and signed it so that it was attributable to him.

6. The picture of the letter is of a piece of paper that looks as if it is a few days old at most. No weathering, discoloration from age ...

7. One need simply look at the diction, or tone and word choice, of both letters to see that the letters which are linked to in your post are written by someone other than a bishop, whereas what I posted above has a more ... professional sound.

8. Assuming that the letter is authentic and is being kept secret by the big bad Roman Catholic Church in some elaborate conspiracy to keep the entire world from knowing that they are really working for the Devil ... just did someone with a tacky throw-rug as a backdrop get ahold of it in order to take a picture of it?

If you would like to learn more about the messages of Fatima, I recommend this document put out by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith:
