Small increases in priests and seminarians indicates decline overall in the Catholic Church...
"Therefore, I warn
you now as your God: You will stop your intricacies within My Church. You will
stop experimenting. I gave you the rules to follow many years ago, two thousand
years approximately. And why now, two thousand years later, do you deem it
necessary to change My Church upon earth? I, your God, say to you, you will be
judged accordingly. You will return My Church to its former glory, and in that
manner you will have more vocations and more entering the seminaries, and not
fleeing from them as they hear the heresies and all other innovations that are
going on within My Church. This is My last and final word to My clergy: Change
now or suffer a just punishment and banishment." - Jesus, June 18, 1986
LifeSiteNews.com reported on March 3, 2009:
Official statistics released this weekend by the Vatican on the numbers of adult converts, priests and seminarians, show that the small growth in some areas is not matching the needs of the Church. Despite several media reports highlighting a modest growth in critical statistics in the Church, the numbers actually reveal a backwards trend.
Monsignor Ingacio Barreiro, head of the Rome office of Human Life International and an experienced UN diplomat, told LifeSiteNews.com that the numbers indicate not overall health and growth in the Catholic Church, but a steady decline that could be disastrous for the fight for life and family.
"The main defender," Msgr. Barreiro said, "of life and family in the world is the Roman Catholic Church. So when we see statistical figures that create a doubt about the growth of the Church we are very concerned."
The 2009 "Annuario Pontificio" (Pontifical Annual), that provides official statistical data on the Catholic Church for the year 2006-2007, was presented formally to the Pope this weekend before being disseminated throughout the world.
Over the past two years, it shows that the increase in the number of Catholics in the world has generally only matched the overall growth of the human population. The world's population of Catholics stands at about 17.3 per cent of the total global population. In 2007, there were just under 1.147 billion baptized Catholics, compared with 1.131 billion in 2006. This growth, at 1.4 percent, is only 0.3 percent more than that of the growth of the human population, giving rise to questions on the effectiveness of the Church's evangelization efforts.
While in Africa and Asia, the number of priests has dramatically increased, at 27.6 per cent and 21.2 per cent respectively, these increases do not balance out the loss of priests throughout the western world. Europe and Oceania record dramatic decreases of 6.8 per cent and 5.5 per cent in only one year. In addition, the growth of the priesthood in Africa and Asia is regularly outstripped by the steady rise in converts in those parts of the world.
Globally, the number of seminarians studying for the priesthood has increased by 0.4 percent, but this number does not match the 1.4 percent increase in the number of Catholics and will not come close to the numbers required to replace the losses the Church will soon experience when currently active priests die or retire. With the number of priests in the Americas remaining "stationary," according to the Vatican report, and given the losses in Europe and Oceania, the overall picture is that of a shrinking priesthood in the west, relative to a small growth of the number of Catholics.
Msgr. Barreiro told LSN, "What growth there has been can be more or less be assimilated to the growth of the whole population of the world. This indicates that there is a very limited effort of evangelisation, particularly in the western world.
"In the meanwhile the Culture of Death is growing objectively and the election of B. Odama in the US is a clear objective proof of that growth. In comparison with a very limited objective growth of the Church."
Msgr. Barreiro pointed to the global 0.4 percent increase in the number of seminarians compared to the 1.4 increase of overall Catholics, saying that it is not growth but "a decrease."
"It is not a step forward, but a trend of falling backwards," he said.

The National Review Board didn't mince words: "we must call attention to the homosexual behavior that characterized the vast majority of cases of abuse observed in recent decades."
Catholic League: There's a homosexual crisis in the priesthood, never was a "pedophilia" crisis...
LifeSiteNews reported on December 5, 2007:
The Catholic League has issued a stinging press release pointing out that the mainstream media has perpetuated "the myth that there has been a 'pedophilia' crisis in the Catholic Church." The release concluded, "The fact is that we've had a homosexual crisis in the priesthood all along."
For 2000 years, the Catholic Church has been the subject of countless lies, especially on issues that touch on sexuality," said the League. "Today, the biggest lie is that the Church suffers from a 'pedophilia' problem. And now that the Vatican has released its document on homosexuals in the priesthood, look for the lie to grow like a cancer."
In reality says the League, "The findings of the National Review Board, appointed by the bishops to gather data on the problem of priestly sexual molestation, and the John Jay Report on this subject, conclusively said that most of the victims (81 percent) were male, and most of them were postpubescent. The National Review Board didn't mince words: 'we must call attention to the homosexual behavior that characterized the vast majority of cases of abuse observed in recent decades.'"
The League notes that the source of some of the misinformation are the dissident groups Voice of the Faithful and Call to Action which have both in the last week used terms like 'pedophilia' and 'child abuse' to describe the problem, respectively. "This lie has deep roots," says the League. "A Lexis-Nexis search linking 'pedophilia scandal' and 'pedophile scandal' with 'Catholic Church' (for all available dates in the U.S.) yields a total of 733 stories; linking 'homosexual scandal' and 'gay scandal' with 'Catholic Church' yields a grand total of 12 hits."

The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
BISHOPS:
CLEANSE SEMINARIES
"I ask, as your Mother,
that the clergy, bishops in rule, must cleanse their seminaries and places of
teaching. All heretics must leave. Discipline must be restored in My Son's
Church. You will not compromise My Son's Faith, and House. You will not condone
sin with permissiveness." - Our Lady,
July 25, 1977
SEMINARIES INFILTRATED
"Yes, My child, I want you
to let the world know that Our seminaries were not pure. Many had entered for
this very day to try to destroy the Faith and the Church of My Son. You must
know that the Eternal Father will not permit this." - Our Lady,
May 17, 1986
DOCTRINES
OF DEMONS
"Theologians in My Son's
churches and seminaries have implemented doctrines of demons in My Son's
House--Church. Theologians have set many onto the path to hell." - Our Lady,
August 4, 1979
SHAMBLES
AND MOCKERY
"You have reduced My
Church, O pastors, to shambles and a mockery. And what shall I do to you, you
who will come before Me and say that your teaching has been pure? I shall cast
you out and send you into oblivion in the fires! And many will come before Me
and say, 'Lord, Lord! Did I now prophecy in Your name?' O ye workers of
iniquity, you cannot hide your hearts from Me." - Jesus,
April 2, 1977
IGNORANT
THEOLOGIANS
"In your ignorance, O
theologians, ever studying and seeking knowledge, you do this in pride and
arrogance, and you find nothing! For you plunge your minds and your spirits
farther into the darkness. And woe upon woe! You spread your errors into those
who are entrusted to your care in My seminaries.
"Woe unto you, teachers who shall stand before Me and say that your
teaching has been pure in My sight! And I shall cast you out as vipers into the
flames where you belong. You sons of satan! You know not the Father in Heaven,
for your father is the father of all liars! You compound lies and errors in My
seminaries. I say unto you, pastors, bishops, you are given the time to clean up
My seminaries. You are deluded in your searching for humanism and modernism, for
you have found satanism. Satan has become your master. You are blinded by your
pursuit of worldly pleasures." - Jesus,
May 30, 1978
TEILHARD
DE CHARDIN IS IN HELL
"Many of Our clergy have
become blinded through their love of worldly pleasure and riches. Many have
accepted a soul once high as a priest. Teilhard is in hell! He burns forever for
the contamination he spread throughout the world! A man of God has his choice as
a human instrument to enter into the kingdom of satan.
"Man will not defy the laws of God without going unpunished. You are a
perverse generation, and you call the hand of punishment down fast upon you." -
Our Lady, March 18,
1973
VOCATIONS
ARE NIL*
"The vocations are nil,
and why? Because the example is rotten! Tradition has been cast aside for
modernism and humanism." - Jesus,
December 31, 1977
* From 1966 to 1999, the total number
of seminarians dropped from 39,638 to 4,826 (2000 Catholic Almanac).
"THE
LEGACY OF TRUTH"
"I recognized, my child,
the evils that were to fall upon the world. Search for the knowledge I have left
to you. I, too, was enlightened by the Holy Spirit. Read well the legacy of
truth* that I left to you. Modernism must be
erased from your world!" - St. Pius X,
September 7, 1974
*Read
especially Pope Pius X's Pascendi Dominici Gregis ("On the Doctrine of
the Modernists"), September 8, 1907.
ERRORS
OF MODERN THINKERS
"Do not fall into the
errors of modern thinkers. Your scientists and your new theologians in My House
who have cast aside the knowledge of sin and the penance for sin--yes, I died
upon the cross to open Heaven to all mankind, but all shall not enter. My death
upon the cross does not guarantee every man entrance into Heaven unless he
merits it by grace." - Jesus,
May 30, 1978
ARROGANCE
AND PRIDE
"Theologians in My House,
My Church, you go forward in arrogance and pride. Do you think you shall go
above your Master, your God? Shall you follow the same road as the fallen angels
who now use you as chattels? You must return now to a life of penance and
prayer, O clergy, while you have the time." - Jesus,
February 1, 1978
SEEK TO
TRAIN WITHOUT HOLINESS
"My Mother's voice has
carried far and wide through earth-years, and what reception has She met with
but rejection! And rejection within My House! You sit together in council
without purpose. You seek to train and teach without holiness." - Jesus,
November 1, 1976
GREATEST
CHASTISEMENT
"The greatest chastisement
shall be given to those who have accepted the honor to represent Me in My House,
and have sold their vocation, as they have become arrogant, prideful, and
self-seeking.
"Turn about and maintain a true renewal of your spirit, O pastors. I have
looked upon you and found you wanting. You will cleanse My House of the
heretics, the errors, the fallacies, and the liars that you have allowed to
enter upon it. You will cleanse it and set My House straight, or I shall come
among you and send you out of My House into the fires of eternal damnation."
- Jesus, December 24,
1976
IF SOULS
ARE IN DANGER …
"If you know in your
hearts, O pastors, that souls are in danger of being corrupted, misled, and even
destroyed, and you do nothing about it, because you do not wish to offend your
superiors, because you value your life in this world too much and your good
living; I assure you, O pastors, you shall stand before My Son and He shall not
know you. You will be disowned, banished from eternal life in Heaven, and you
shall join your father who is the father of all liars, satan, and the prince of
darkness." - Our Lady,
March 18, 1977
HEADS IN
THE CLOUDS
"My child and My children,
how long can I go about your earth going from place to place, hinder and yon, as
your Mother, praying with you, solacing the nations that suffer from their own
laxity. We ask for prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. And what do We get? We have
theologians who now consider themselves as gods upon earth. They are setting up
a new world religion, a one-world religion based on humanism and modernism. This
will not continue much longer, My children. It has taken many earth-years to
develop these theories. And those who have their heads in the clouds, though
they wear the purple hats and the red hats, those who have become blinded from
the excessive love of luxury and materialism, shall be lost in the chaos." -
Our Lady, September 27,
1986
NEW
THEOLOGY OF MORALS
"I allowed you, My child,
to become aware now in full measure of the evil in the teaching institutions of
My Son's Church. A new theology of morals has been set among you. And what is it
but a creation of satan!
"The Commandments of the Father were given, and no one shall cast them
aside. What man, in his pride, has the knowledge from the Holy Spirit to change
these Commandments to satisfy his basic fallen nature?" - Our Lady,
January 31, 1976
NO
ALLOWANCES
"My child and My children,
you may ask your priests for knowledge of the stories coming from the old,
elderly fathers of My Son's Church, but can they tell you the truth now that
their seminaries have become polluted with errors? Mothers cry to Me; I hear all
their prayers, prayers to Heaven to save their children. And where can they find
the knowledge of the truth to teach them? That will depend now upon an earnest
mother and father, and discipline. Children are like soft flowers that must be
nourished so that their stalks will grow; and their faces, the purity of their
faces, shall rise toward Heaven and be nourished with the fruits of life.
"My child and My children, there must not be any allowances made for the
sacrilegious acts of those who call themselves humanists, and also those who
promote homosexuality in the name of freedom--freedom of religion, freedom of
what you want to do: do anything you want, as long as it offends your God. That
is what We hear coming up to Us from Heaven. That is what We hear coming up to
Us. High into the heavens, I hear--I hear the saints crying, 'How long, O Lord,
will You accept this carnage upon earth? When shall we restore it to its former
beauty and purity?'" - Our Lady,
September 14, 1985
CHANGE
NOW
"My child and My children,
I come once more with an urgent and pleading message to the hierarchy in the
Church, My Church upon earth. I want you to know now that We look upon you and
find many that do not fall into grace. They are falling out of grace and
misleading many of Our sheep.
"Therefore, I warn you now as your God: You will stop your intricacies
within My Church. You will stop experimenting. I gave you the rules to follow
many years ago, two thousand years approximately. And why now, two thousand
years later, do you deem it necessary to change My Church upon earth? I, your
God, say to you, you will be judged accordingly. You will return My Church to
its former glory, and in that manner you will have more vocations and more
entering the seminaries, and not fleeing from them as they hear the heresies and
all other innovations that are going on within My Church. This is My last and
final word to My clergy: Change now or suffer a just punishment and banishment."

Place a Crucifix on the
outside of your front and back door... The only real
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)
(Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the
crucifixes.)

door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance.

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
