About James Hanisch: A native of Tulsa, OK, Mr. Hanisch earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Kansas, where he was privileged also to participate in the Integrated Humanities Program conducted by Professors John Senior and Dennis Quinn. After nineteen brief, cherished years of teaching high-school boys, he joined the writing staff of The Fatima Center and worked closely with its director, Father Nicholas Gruner, until Father’s untimely passing in April 2015. Mr. Hanisch continues to serve as a staff writer for the Apostolate, and as moderator and content editor for its social media platforms.

Mr. Hanisch is the author of the book Only She Can Help Us, which details both the present impetus toward a Third World War and the remedy to our dire situation as proffered by Our Lady of Fatima. He also contributed a lengthy Preface to Father Gruner’s book, Crucial Truths to Save Your Soul, and numerous articles for The Fatima Center’s quarterly journal, The Fatima Crusader, beginning with issue 106. Two investigative summaries address the complex and controverted issues of the Secret of Fatima (pending publication) and the Consecration of Russia (titled “Reflections on the October 13, 2013 Marian Day – Our Continued Need to Pray and Sacrifice and Petition for the Consecration of Russia”).
