During the centuries, Mary never allowed the papacy’s great light to be extinguished. She even brought forth the modern papacy, raising it to great heights. Although, she invites the papacy to become the light of a world which will soon be plunged into darkness, her light does not fill the halls of the papacy and her messages do not guide Church decisions. Her light is not put upon the lampstand and the Church is unable to pierce the secular darkness.
