There is also an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ourladyofgarabandal\/p\/COdDlLcDUb0\/\">Instagram<\/a> post that cites this statement from Conchita in the book <em>Garabandal \u2014 Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary as &#8220;Our Lady of Mount Carmel&#8221;<\/em> by Jacques Serre and B\u00e9atrice Caux on pg. 133. However, no original source is provided as to whether it also came from Weber&#8217;s book or from the author&#8217;s direct conversation with the seer. The quote on Instagram says: &#8220;On that day, Mari-Loli and Conchita received new and prophetic revelations about the future tribulations of the brief but very difficult time of the \u201cPre-Aviso\u201d(Pre-Warning). Conchita also said during her ecstasy that \u201ccommunism will also come back in Spain\u201d. The Blessed Virgin also predicted to the visionary that \u201cthe Pope would go to Russia, to Moscow\u201d, a trip absolutely unthinkable in the political climate of the 1960\u2019s. She also added among other important things, that \u201cas soon as the Sovereign Pontiff would return to the Vatican, successive violent persecutions would break out here and there in Europe\u201d. These would be signs that the world, and particularly the Church (people would then believe that She will be on the point of disappearing, etc.) were entering into the relatively short yet very difficult period of the Pre-Warning.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_52594_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_52594_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script> According to Weber, Conchita relayed the above to him in her house on November 14, 1965. Flynn writes that Weber apparently confirmed Conchita&#8217;s statement several times, and at least once to the late Barry Hanratty, editor of the <em>Garabandal Journal.\u00a0<\/em>However, states Flynn:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>&#8230;the quote does not appear anywhere in [the revised edition (2000) of] Mr. Weber&#8217;s book&#8230;.

There is also an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ourladyofgarabandal\/p\/COdDlLcDUb0\/\">Instagram<\/a> post that cites this statement from Conchita in the book <em>Garabandal \u2014 Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary as &#8220;Our Lady of Mount Carmel&#8221;<\/em> by Jacques Serre and B\u00e9atrice Caux on pg. 133. However, no original source is provided as to whether it also came from Weber&#8217;s book or from the author&#8217;s direct conversation with the seer. The quote on Instagram says: &#8220;On that day, Mari-Loli and Conchita received new and prophetic revelations about the future tribulations of the brief but very difficult time of the \u201cPre-Aviso\u201d(Pre-Warning). Conchita also said during her ecstasy that \u201ccommunism will also come back in Spain\u201d. The Blessed Virgin also predicted to the visionary that \u201cthe Pope would go to Russia, to Moscow\u201d, a trip absolutely unthinkable in the political climate of the 1960\u2019s. She also added among other important things, that \u201cas soon as the Sovereign Pontiff would return to the Vatican, successive violent persecutions would break out here and there in Europe\u201d. These would be signs that the world, and particularly the Church (people would then believe that She will be on the point of disappearing, etc.) were entering into the relatively short yet very difficult period of the Pre-Warning.&#8221;<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_52594_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_52594_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_52594_1_2');\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_plugin_link\" ><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>2<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\">&#8220;\u2026a dictatorship of relativism that recognizes nothing as definite, and which leaves as the ultimate measure only one\u2019s ego and desires.
