I personally am more negative. I prefer the Virgin Mary as a mother, our mother, not as head of a post office that sends a message every day at a specific time — this is not the mother of Jesus. And these alleged apparitions do not have much value. This I say as my personal opinion.
If this is the big deception, be my guest.
The pope indeed said the above words. However, after that he reviewed the results of the cardinals' commission on Medjugorje and approved the first seven apparitions as authentic.
Later, he appointed a special representative a polish archbishop to oversee Medjugorje. Thus surpassing the local Bosnian bishop who is very negative on both the apparitions and the seers. (and should I say, the money the pilgrimages bring to the shrine and not to him).
such as the Sun appearing to "dance" or zig-zag in the sky, careen towards the Earth, or emit multicolored light and radiant colors. According to these reports, the event lasted approximately ten minutes.
in response to a prophecy made by three shepherd children. The prophecy was that the Virgin Mary (referred to as Our Lady of Fátima), would appear and perform miracles on that date.
Still no one else saw the Virgin Mary; instead, the gathered adults would stand riveted as Lucia took the lead and began to describe her visions.
As before, the figure appeared, and again only to the children. Identifying herself as 'the Lady of the Rosary,' she urged repentance and the building of a chapel at the site.
After predicting an end to [World War I] and giving the children certain undisclosed visions, the lady lifted her hands to the sky. Thereupon Lucia exclaimed, 'The sun!' As everyone gazed upward, and saw that a silvery disc had emerged from behind clouds, they experienced what is known [as] a 'sun miracle'." Not everyone reported the same thing; some present claimed they saw the sun dance around the heavens; others said the sun zoomed toward Earth in a zigzag motion that caused them to fear that it might collide with our planet (or, more likely, burn it up). Some people reported seeing brilliant colors spin out of the sun in a psychedelic, pinwheel pattern, and thousands of others present didn't see anything unusual at all.
"The tip of the spear as a flame unlatches and touches the axis of the earth. It shudders. Mountains, cities, towns, and villages with their inhabitants are buried. The sea, the rivers, and the clouds emerge from their limits, overflowing and bringing with them in a whirlwind houses and people in numbers that are not possible to count. It is the purification of the world as it plunges into sin. Hatred and ambition cause the destructive war!" www.spiritdaily.org...
The angel with the flaming sword on the left of the Mother of God recalls similar images in the Book of Revelation. This represents the threat of judgement which looms over the world. Today the prospect that the world might be reduced to ashes by a sea of fire no longer seems pure fantasy: man himself, with his inventions, has forged the flaming sword. The vision then shows the power which stands opposed to the force of destruction—the splendour of the Mother of God and, stemming from this in a certain way, the summons to penance. . —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (BENEDICT XVI), from the Theological Commentary of The Message of Fatima, www.markmallett.com...

I believe UFOs and aliens do exist. In another apparition at Garabandal, Our Lady said there are other worlds who need redemption of Jesus Christ as we do.
Others have not sinned, as we did, said St Padre Pio.
I'd expect those angelic extraterrestrials, be they the biblical angels or not, to play a great role in the coming planetary events.
The apparitions, Fatima and others, come as a corrective of a system that lost its initial fervent devotion and turned to be more of institution than of a living community of faithful.
Similarly, pope Francis wants to reform the Church system, despite fierce opposition. Previous popes had similar problems, having in mind great ideas of reforms and being stuck from the inertia of the status quo. To the extend St Paul VI to say, "the smoke of Satan has entered the Church".
In that way, I see Medjugorje, Fatima, Akita, Garabandal, Maria Esperanza, to mention some of the biggest apparitions in 20th and 21st centuries, as divine attempt to correct individuals and organizations, before the predicted planetary cataclysm.
Recently, the nuns in Coimbria where Lucia lived her last years, published a book about her. Among other things they said about a vision Lucia had, an angel to tilt the axis of the earth (i.e. pole shift)

I will use the occasion to tell all those fanatic Catholics who oppose not only pope Francis, but also St John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council, that doing so they in fact sin against the Holy Spirit who has led Vatican II as well as the popes. They are against any reform, yet they do not deny the deteriorating state of the Church.
The apparitions themselves come to correct. To believe in apparitions, does not mean to oppose the work of God done through His Church leaders.
Furthermore, it is possible to be Extraterrestrial content in the secrets of apparitions, something that transpires indirectly and logically, including from Malachi Martin's interviews. The danger for the ultraconservative catholics to actually reject God's plan that includes extraterrestrial help, is very, very real. They already blindly demonize everything that flies and that they do not understand. No matter that pope Francis said he would baptize Martians if they'd ask him to do so. No matter that mgr Corrado Balducci, Vatican exorcist, said in interview the aliens are not demons. He is the same who posted in the Vatican official newspapers Osservatore Romano the text of Neues Europa version of Fatima.
Our Lady said in Medjugorje, many catholics will run away fromt he Great Sign when it appears (the third secret out of 10) because they are unprepared to encounter the reality of God. On the other side, many unbelievers will believe at that moment.
In other words, when we think we already know everything about Fatima, Medjugorje, Kibeho...it seems that we just start learning God's grand design for humanity. Kibeho seer Immaculée Ilibagiza was recorded during apparition in Belgium church as saying to Virgin Mary (quote in memory): "but if I tell them that, they will think I am lunatic"...It speaks volumes of the actual topic of conversation between Our Lady and the seer that we do not hear...
"Whoever has ears let him hear" said Jesus.

I am challenging the Medjugorje seers and apparitions. If they are TRUE, the above sequence given in OP must happen this coming year starting at its very beginning.
