Excellent look at the inside workings of the Vatican. This film shows you the result of seven years of work. A true masterpiece of documentary filmmaking. I hope Mr. Stark is making another film and one I won't have to wait as long for!

Magnificent work of art.

This a well researched documentary. It explores objective questions on both end about what has taken place in the past hundred year history of the Catholic Church. There are also nice references prior to this century to set the stage for the apparition in Fátima. Excellent sequence of events and testimonies from well known clergy and scholars.
Gripping documentary on Apocalyptic Prophesies

I love a good documentary film, and 'The Vatican Conspiracy' had me glued to it from the beginning.
The interesting thing about documentaries, is that you never know what sort of extraneous information will pop up in the telling of a story, and this one doesn't disappoint. It provides an immense amount of information, regarding the fascinating miracle of 'Fatima', the inner workings of the Catholic Church, and eye-opening historical facts. The documents, details, photos and footage that Director, Paul Stark, assembled in the making of this film are impressive. He even found an eye-witness, and a chilling photo from January of 1938, depicting Hitler's reaction to witnessing 'the bright red glow in the sky', that the Virgin Mary foretold would appear, as warning of the bloodshed and horrors soon to follow.
If the Virgin Mary appears to people on earth, with a message for all, I want to hear it, and heed it. I find any accounts of visitations from the Blessed Virgin, totally riveting, but none as much as the several encounters that took place between Mary, and the 3 children from Fatima, Portugal, between May and October, of 1917, culminating in over 70,000 people witnessing the sun 'dancing around in the sky'.
'The Vatican Conspiracy' asks: Why the Catholic Church hasn't shared all the messages given to the children at Fatima? Why the direct instruction to consecrate Russia in 1960 has yet to be carried out by the Pope and all the bishops? How would history have been altered if Russia had been consecrated? Would WWII have been prevented? When will today's Catholic Church, finally reveal all the messages and consecrate Russia? 'The Vatican Conspiracy' examines the path of the late 'Father Nicholas Gruner', who, for 37 years, tried to have all the messages given to the 3 children at Fatima, shared with the world, and his dealings with the church. Viewers of the film will be asking if WWIII can be prevented, if Russia is consecrated? I ask: What is the problem Catholic Church? The movie even shows Putin as saying he is fine with having Russia blessed, so why not? It can't hurt, and it sure might help things in the world if the Vatican stops fighting this so hard, and just does the Virgin Mary's bidding, and shares all her messages and consecrates Russia.
Whatever you come away with from this film, what people of faith might want to remember, is to try to see past the Church's failings, and know that it is the folly of individuals, and the Church was founded on very solid principles that we would do well to live by, and we must not lose site of the church's much stronger message of love, that will prevail in the end. Criticize those falling short of their responsibilities, and oust them if need be, but please don't allow such people to cause you to lose your faith in your higher power. Whatever road you take to be closer with our creator, it doesn't matter, if it is rooted in love, and is not harming or oppressing others, based on 'my dogma is different or better than your dogma'.
