Says Bishop’s silence makes
him “complicit in my sister’s murder”
Bobby Schindler’s letter to Florida bishop: When bishops don’t do their job – innocent people die...
"The sin of omission
shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin
of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell. Among them
there will also be mitres." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1980
LifeSiteNews reported on March 28, 2007:
Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri Schiavo, has written an open letter to Bishop Robert Lynch, bishop of St. Petersburg, Florida chastising the bishop for his inaction at the time of Terri’s death and asserting that the bishop’s lack of action “brought scandal to the Universal Church and to the faithful, particularly here in Florida.”
March 31, 2007 will be the second anniversary of the death of Terri Schiavo, a cognitively disabled woman who was starved to death according to the wishes of her husband and the order of a Florida court. The Schindler family, backed by countless disability groups and individuals around the world – including several direct pleas from the Vatican to spare Terri’s life - fought for years to save Terri from death at the hand of her husband.
Bishop Lynch issued one statement in 2005 during the 13 days that it took Terri to starve to death in which he called on the Schindlers to reconcile with Michael Schiavo in the name of “peace”. Michael Schiavo was married in a Catholic Church in Lynch’s diocese just a year after Terri’s death. Schiavo married the same woman with whom he had two children during the time that Terri was hospitalized.
Bobby Schindler publicized his letter to Bishop Lynch through a press release at Earned Media with a commentary which quoted from Pope Benedict’s recent address to politicians. In the March 13, 2007 address, Benedict re-emphasized the politician’s responsibility to defend all innocent human life and parallel duty to oppose abortion and euthanasia.
Schindler asked, “If the Church teaches that such a grave responsibility rests on elected officials who are here today and gone tomorrow, and who hold mere temporal power, what of the successors of the apostles – our bishops – who hold the greatest spiritual authority on earth?”
In his comments, Schindler went on to question how the bishop’s inaction corresponded to Pope Benedict’s teaching that “all Catholics have a duty to uphold the Church's pro-life teachings, but the responsibility is especially incumbent on those in positions of power.”
In Schindler’s letter, he admitted that what motivated him to write was Bishop Lynch’s own published commentary on the ‘homeless’ in the city of St. Petersburg. Schindler quoted Lynch’s commentary which read, “I am convinced that both on Judgment Day and in history, we will most likely be judged not by the things which we might have considered personally important to ourselves in life but how we took care of others less fortunate.”
Schindler continued to quote the Bishop’s commentary, “The faces which may haunt each of us on Judgment Day may well be those of people who have approached us for assistance and were turned away.”
Schindler questioned how the bishop could look at the homeless as “less fortunate” and demand action in their name but could remain tacit in the face of the death of an innocent and totally helpless woman despite pleadings from her family for intervention. “The bottom line is, when apostolic grace and responsibility are abdicated, innocent people die.”
The letter clearly reiterated the Schindlers’ intention to continue fighting for the right to life for all innocent people – especially the helpless who are unable to fight for themselves. “As my family and I dedicate the remainder of our lives to saving other innocent lambs targeted by the Death Culture, I beg the Lord to spare us another successor of the apostles who would exhibit the same scandalous inaction and silence by which you remain complicit in my sister’s murder via euthanasia.”
“Terri’s legacy is one of life and love. Sadly, your legacy will be that of the
shepherd that stood silently by as one of his innocent disabled lambs was slowly and needlessly slaughtered by removing her food and water — while you persistently ignored the cries of her family for help (“her family” being the ones who merely wanted to care for her.)”
Schindler closed his letter by calling on the bishop to use the penitential season of Lent “to seek public forgiveness and make public reparation for public scandal.” He informed the bishop that, “At least until that happens, I regret that I must remain, as you said, the
face that haunts you as someone that did approach you for assistance and was turned away.”

*******
There are four sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance (extreme punishment):
1) Willful murder.
2) The sin of Sodom.
3) Oppression of the poor.
4) Defrauding the laborer of his wages.
Euthanasia, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, mercy killing, and homosexuality cry out to Heaven for extreme punishment on the United States.
Many people are ignorant of the Church's teaching regarding ordinary nursing care towards extremely ill or terminally ill patients. The Church states that "decisions about these patients should be guided by a presumption in favor of medically-assisted nutrition and hydration” and that for patients, even in an irreversible coma, "all care should be lavished on him, including feeding."
Pope John Paul II, March
20, 2004:
Bishop Henry
Gracida (interview
with Barbara Kralis)
"Some Catholics would argue that they are simply
following their conscience and that the Church allows them to do so. They choose
to forget that the Church says that one can only safely follow an INFORMED
CONSCIENCE, i.e., a conscience that has been formed and illuminated by the
teachings of the Church. The Church has given clear and explicit guidelines
regarding the removal of a feeding tube through which 'nutrition and hydration'
is supplied to a sick person.
"All persons who wish to remain in communion with the Catholic Church, to
receive Holy Communion and the other Sacraments, must assent to the teachings of
the Church in matters of faith and morals.
[3]
"If a person supports euthanasia and assisted-suicide through the
illicit rejection or removal of a feeding tube, they are not in communion with
the Church. They have separated themselves from the Church."
Pontifical Council on Health Affairs, “Cor Unum,” June 27, 1981:
“On the contrary, there remains the strict obligation to continue by all
means those measures which are called ‘minimal’, which are intended normally and
customarily for the maintenance of life (alimentation, blood transfusions,
injections, etc.). To interrupt these minimal measures would be equivalent, in
practice, to wishing to put an end to the life of the patient.”
Pontifical Academy of Sciences, October 1985:
“If the patient is in a permanent coma, irreversible as far as it can
be foreseen, treatment is not required, but all care should be
lavished on him, including feeding... If treatment is of no
benefit to the patient, it may be interrupted while continuing with the care
of the patient.”
U.S.
Bishops, Nutrition and Hydration: Moral and Pastoral Reflections:
”Therefore we are gravely concerned about current attitudes and
policy trends in our society that would too easily dismiss patients without
apparent mental faculties as non-persons or as undeserving of human care and
concern. In this climate, even legitimate moral arguments intended to have a
careful and limited application can easily be misinterpreted, broadened, and
abused by others to erode respect for the lives of some of our society’s most
helpless members. In light of these concerns, it is our considered judgment that
while legitimate Catholic moral debate continues, decisions about these
patients should be guided by a presumption in favor of medically-assisted
nutrition and hydration.”
New
Jersey Catholic Conference, January 22, 1987:
Another pertinent statement regarding the nutrition/hydration debate
was given by the New Jersey Catholic Conference on January 22, 1987 in a
friend-of-the-court brief entitled, “Providing Food and Fluids to Severely Brain
Damaged Patients.” This document was in reaction to the Nancy Ellen Jobes case
pending at the time before the New Jersey Court:
"The [New Jersey Catholic] Conference maintains that nutrition and hydration, being basic to human life, are aspects of normal care, which are not excessively burdensome, that should always be provided to a patient. Nutrition and hydration are clearly distinguished from medical treatment. Medical treatment is aimed at curing a disease. Nutrition and hydration are directed at sustaining life. Medical treatment is therapeutic; nutrition and hydration are not, because they will not cure any disease. For that fundamental reason we insist that nutrition and hydration must always be maintained....” (Origins, January 22, 1987, p. 583)
"No
man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the
excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world
because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the
help of all scientific means." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 5, 1976
"Who will
be safe in your land, My children? You will one day grow old. Will you be a
burden to your family, to be removed without heart? When you grow sick, you
are ill, will you become too much of a burden to your society and they will
remove you?" - Our Lady of the Roses, March 25, 1972
The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
EUTHANASIA
“The time will come, My child, when those who are upon the earth will envy
those have passed beyond the veil. Insanity, sin. Sin is insanity. The aged will
be put to death, the crippled will be put to death, the mentally ill will be
eliminated. The value of life will be gone. The value for life will be
destroyed. Murderers! Sanctioned among those with the power to destroy the
souls!” – Jesus, March 18, 1974
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
"No man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the
excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world
because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the help
of all scientific means. The Eternal Father has placed a soul in that body. That
body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! No man can know when that soul must
return to the Eternal Father. No man shall hasten its exit from a body by
murder! Euthanasia is murder! Shall you become a judge over the living and the
dead?" - Our Lady, June 5, 1976
CONDEMNS
TO HELL
"And I repeat again to all clergy in My Son's House: you shall not rationalize
sin. Abortion is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance!
Euthanasia is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! The
Commandments of your God must be followed, and no changes will be made upon them
to suit the basic fallen nature of mankind.
"The road to Heaven, My children, is a narrow one; too few stay upon it.
For they are often carried away with the cares of the world, and the pleasures
of the materialistic pursuits, and their gathering of money and prestige and
power. For what? For the few short years allotted to each human upon earth. I
ask you to ask yourself: is it worth it to lose your soul? Many will sell their
souls to get to the head." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979
START AND
EXPIRATION OF LIFE
"The Eternal Father is much distressed by mankind's actions. They must not try
to control the start and expiration of a life. Abortion is murder, My children,
for you bring to an untimely end a mission of a soul. The Eternal Father
breathes the spirit of life into the body at the moment of conception. No man
shall destroy this body until it has completed its mission as directed by the
Eternal Father, for any man who destroys the mission and the body is guilty of
murder. Euthanasia, untimely death, My children, man has transgressed into a
form of evil far worse than in the time of Noe or Sodom. Therefore, how great
shall be the punishment to mankind!" - Our Lady, June 12, 1976
GREAT CHASTISEMENT
"My child and My children, the murders of the unborn will bring great
chastisement upon the United States, Canada, and the nations of the world, that
are now contributing not only to the delinquency of your children and the
world's children, but are condoning murder and euthanasia. Euthanasia, My child
and My children, is murder!
"We have been very patient. The Eternal Father has voiced His decision
within My hearing, and I tell you, My children, your chastisement is just at
hand." - Jesus, July 1, 1985
DOCTORS OF THE EARTH
"I have, O woe to man, this saddest of
stories: one of man against man, brother against brother, mother against
daughter, father against son, in the battle of the spirits. Now, O poor aged and
helpless, poor on earth, you will now be victims of your own. Doctors of the
earth, what have you done to yourselves in your practices? You do not seek to
preserve life, but to destroy.” – Our Lady, March 18, 1973

Place a Crucifix on the

protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My
children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and
back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage
within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your
doors." (6-30-84)

of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the
door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance.

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises to
help protect our children. On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of
ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the
world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and
protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water
throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your
children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will
repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these
sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that
you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls.
They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from
the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
