Wow that sounds extremely interesting, do you remember who this was or who did the video?

If you read my comment to the end you'd see it is about a Marian apparition and it was by a Catholic priest. I do not say that now to imply you didn't read it all, I just don't see "GC" and religion, especially the anti-modernist socially conservative strain of Catholicism, as being an easy mix. It took me a long time to fit that way (really those ways, as my struggle was far bigger than just GC type ideas but also with the nature of authority and abuse of authority) of looking at the world all together with how I see the world. So, just realize you're going to be diving deeply into a world of mysticism in a very old sense of the word (as in Mysteries of Christ, Mysteries of Faith, and all that), a view of what I think are half the problems of the world that I think ignores the other half where they might be ignoring causal factors, and into a view of the Mother of God that is really beyond anything a lot of people are comfortable with especially if they grew up around Protestantism.

It is a play list on youtube that can be found by searching for "Our Lady of Revelation". It is many hours, he repeats himself a lot, but I am OK with that as I listen while driving and need the repetition. It sort of requires an understanding of what happened at Fatima, and he does give that very well. Our Lady of Revelation is a specific apparition that happened at Tre Fontane in Italy, but it had direct ties to Fatima. In a sense, they all do.

I right now believe that the woman clothed in the sun of the Book of Revelation is specifically Mary appearing to the children at Fatima (no real detective work needed, they basically said she looked like she was wearing the sun). I used to think that book only applied to the times it was written in and that it was no use to us today. I saw too many Christians not seeking "deeper" knowledge to behave better to each other and themselves, only taking a surface meaning of being better people, doing no charity with little care for people around them because they saw them selves as a new Noah in the Ark as people milled about outside for 2 weeks before the rain began. I thought they missed the point of it all, and because of that I wanted nothing to do with that kind of religiosity. I sought a more "inner" mysticism that loved everyone as equals and selflessly-- very communitarian. I do not think I was wrong, but I am really confident there is more.

For another youtube channel that talks about Marian apparitions, the Marian News channel is great. She goes through individual apparitions in detail. I do not know if she covered the Our Lady of Revelation apparitions though. La Salette is her big focus as she is trying to follow that specific apparition's instructions. She also has a big play list on the locutions given to Father Gobbi that explain the book of revelation also. I do not think OLoR and Father Gobbi are in conflict, but I need to dig deeper into both. Suffice it that the world can not get much worse that it is today, the freedom and liberty and brotherhood promised since the revolutions after the enlightenment are turning out to be Orwell's boot. Every "if only this would change and things would be better" ends up being hijacked by power hunger jerks and things only get worse.

If you dig into those videos, I'd love to know what you think. If you have any questions, ask me. I don't know if I have answers, but I can share and learn. I may have to start a new saidit sub as it is really off topic though. Edited to add, the new sub is called Hail Mary. It is private as I don't want to deal with trolls and don't want to be spending a lot of time baby sitting.
