Bologna Cardinal Carlo Caffara These Last Days News - May 12, 2014

Italian Cardinal Says Allowing Holy Communion for Civilly Remarried is Impossible...

"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also, My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession. 
     "What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor, but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of mortal nature!"
- Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1976 

LifeSite News reported on March 17, 2014 :

Not even a pope can change Catholic teaching or practice on marriage, including on the prohibition against reception of Communion for divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, a prominent Italian prelate has said.

Cardinal Carlo Caffara, the cardinal archbishop of Bologna, told an Italian newspaper this weekend that this teaching comes to the Church from Christ Himself and cannot be changed by anyone, either by a pope or a synod.

In the interview with the Catholic magazine Il Foglio, titled “From Bologna with love: stop!”, Caffara said, “Do not touch the marriage of Christ. It cannot be judged case by case; you do not bless a divorce and hypocrisy is not ‘merciful.’”

“The popes have always taught that the power of the Pope does not come to this: over a ratified and consummated marriage, the Pope has no power,” said the cardinal.

Caffara’s intervention comes after one of the pope’s most favoured theologians had suggested that while the Catholic teaching on the indissolubility of marriage can never be changed, it could be ignored in practice. So far there has been no denial or correction from the Vatican on the suggestion by Cardinal Walter Kasper in the keynote address at the most recent consistory of cardinals on February 20.

Kasper, the retired head of the Vatican’s ecumenical office and the acknowledged leader of the ultra-liberal German wing of the Catholic episcopate, told the consistory that a solution to the “problem” of Catholics who could not receive Communion would be to offer them, without requiring a change in lifestyle, a “period of penance” after which they could return to the sacraments.

“The question is therefore how the Church can reflect this indivisible pairing of the fidelity and mercy of God in its pastoral action,” he said. It is this “mercy,” the cardinal said, that compels the creation of a “new paradigm” for “pastoral practice.”

“After the shipwreck of sin, the shipwrecked person should not have a second boat at his or her disposal, but rather a life raft,” Kasper said.  

The Catholic Church, following the words of Christ, does not recognize divorce, and in the eyes of the Church, a person who has been married, divorces and obtains a second marriage in the civil sphere, is committing the mortal sin of adultery. The teaching of the Catholic Church has always been that a Catholic in an objective state of mortal sin cannot receive Holy Communion until he has repented, given up the sin in question and received sacramental absolution in confession.

According to Cardinal Caffara, “If the Church admits [them to] the Eucharist, we must give an opinion on the legality of the second marriage. It is logical. But then what about the first marriage? The second [marriage] cannot be a true second marriage, since bigamy is against the word of the Lord.”

Following Kasper’s logic, he said, such a proposal could be expanded to eradicate the very concept of marriage within the Church. “At this point one might wonder: why did he not approve of the free cohabitation? And why not relationships between homosexuals?” he said.

A close advisor to Pope Francis has also said that the practice of withholding Holy Communion from the divorced and civilly remarried could soon be overturned. Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the head of the archdiocese of Munich and a member of Pope Francis’ “council of eight” advisors, told Welt am Sonntag newspaper that the change was “practicable.”

“The cardinals had very diverse reactions to [Kasper’s] proposal,” he said. “I personally find it to be a practicable plan that would however have to be applied on a case-by-case basis.”

Marx’s comments follow his previous suggestion that Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in demanding that the German bishops’ conference withdraw “pastoral” plans to admit the divorced and civilly remarried to Communion, was being too harsh. Marx has recently been promoted twice, with Pope Francis appointing him to be the chairman of the newly created Council for the Economy, and his fellow German bishops electing him as head of the German Catholic Bishops’ Conference.

Last week, an Italian archbishop told local media that he felt the “new paradigm” would shortly lead to the Church accepting both homosexuality and heterosexual cohabitation and premarital sex.

Archbishop Benvenuto Castellani told Italian state television network, RAI, “I have seen and experienced many situations … and I am convinced that it is time for Christians to open themselves to diversity.”

Castellani endorsed Kasper’s proposal, saying that if the plan fails, “what will also fail is not only a chance for the Church but also a chance to eliminate many vices in society and even within the Church, such as the idolatry of money.”

"My Son is much grieved, My child, in the manner in which many come to Him in His House. They come with disrespect. They do not have love for Him in their hearts.
     "My child, please, they lead themselves onto the road to satan. They must not accept My Son with sin in their hearts. Many do not go to Our representatives. They accept My Son with sin on their souls! Shout it, My child, from the roofs: you must honor the Eucharist!"
- Our Lady of the Roses, November 23, 1974

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/  These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

DISSOLVEMENT OF MARRIAGE
“My child, you have been much concerned about the dissolvement of many marriages now in your country. It is truly a sad happening among mankind, My child, for it is the hand of satan reaching in and capturing the souls of many. What God has joined together in holy Matrimony, let no man place asunder. The liberal attitudes now prevalent in My Son's House bring many tears to Our hearts, for they will lead many souls onto the road to hell.
     "Accept your cross, My children, as you struggle through your life with your spouse. When you are united in the holy bond of Matrimony, you are responsible for the soul of your spouse. Unto death shall you part, and only unto death will you part.” - Our Lady, May 15, 1976

REPENT NOW
"I repeat the words of all Heaven, and those who are upon earth--voices crying out to you in the wilderness: Repent now, while there is time, for your time is running out. Abortion is murder! Adultery, promiscuousness, sexual aberrations shall neither be condoned nor reasoned as being right, when they are wrong! These abominations are condemned by all Heaven.” - Our Lady, October 6, 1979

FASHIONABLE IN U.S. TO LIVE TOGETHER IN SIN
"This I can tell you--because We are much grieved as We look into the hearts of the mothers and fathers throughout the world--not many are in the light. Families are disintegrating; the state of marriage is becoming nullified. Now it is fashionable in the United States, and many nations of the world, to discard the Sacrament of Marriage and to live together in sin. This, My child and My children, cannot be tolerated. Man must come back to the laws of his God, or he will be destroyed." - Our Lady, May 17, 1986

HOMOSEXUALITY
"Since women have exchanged their roles as women, preferring to be as men, and have abandoned their true, true value of life--have abandoned their role as a mother to carry the creation of their God within their wombs, they, therefore, will also find that their husbands and sons will find rejection of women, and men will seek lustfully pleasures with men, known, My child, as homosexuality. And they will be given and abandoned to their lust, until all creatures upon earth would live in fear. Women then will find themselves turning lustful eyes to women--lesbianism, My child. And then will set in all manners of iniquity: murders, covetness, idolatry, adultery! O My child, the evil abounds upon earth!” - Our Lady, September 28, 1974

ADULTERY OF HEART
"Prayer has given way to worldly pleasure. My sisters, you are truly foolish maidens. You have given yourselves as brides of Christ. A bride does not commit adultery in her heart. When you reject the Son of God, you truly commit this in your heart. The spirit has no part of the flesh. You must live in the spirit and fight the pleasures of the flesh. For these pleasures are not being used in the manner given by the Father.
     "Chastity and poverty, these are given for reason. Do not discard this little way to sanctity." - St. Theresa, September 28, 1974

LICENTIOUS LIVING
"O My children, and the nation of the United States that I have placed My mantle upon to protect you, a country of so greater in abundance materialistically, but now, sadly, My child and My children, falling fast to satan: immorality and all manner of licentious living, given over to murders, abortions, adultery, homosexuality, pagan worship. O My child, the list would grow longer and longer. In all justice to mankind and in all honor to your God, can you say that you do not warrant a just punishment?” - Our Lady, June 18, 1981

TEN MAJOR COMMANDMENTS
"You must understand that the merciful heart of the Father is always extended to you. You must pray more. You must read and act upon the Commandments of your God. They can neither be added to, nor modified, nor taken away. The Ten major Commandments must be followed. And I can see, My children, that you break many now, and ask for the hand of a wrathful God upon you. Thou shalt not kill! Thou shalt not steal! Thou shalt not worship false gods! Thou shalt not commit adultery! Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife! Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods!
     "My children, on and on I could go on, enumerating the major sins of mankind. However, since you understand that sin is insanity, to those in the light, it will appear as though the world has become a snakepit. And I say 'snake,' for it well covers the work of Lucifer.” - Jesus, November 25, 1978

BABYLON THE GREAT
"We want the world to know again that there was a locution given to My child, Veronica, and it talks of this: Sodom and Gomorrha. Does this seem similar to you, My children: are you not living now among the realms of Sodom and Gomorrha? And what happened to that adulterous city? It was destroyed, just as Babylon the Great shall be destroyed, also.” - Jesus, October 6, 1988

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." -  Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man.  I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992  
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976 
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899.  It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.  Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: http://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htmhttp://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and http://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!  (Order Form)  Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it. 
    Read the Bible cover to cover.  If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days.  I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time.  A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times.  Wow!

2.)  The total Virgin Mary’s Bayside Prophesies in 6 paperback books...

The Virgin Mary brings directions from God, the Father in Heaven on how to survive the end times.  God, the Father, through the Virgin Mary, tells what is coming, how to prepare for it, how to survive it, and how to even stop it.  These six volumes along with the Bible are most important to save yourself and your loved ones.  Order it now.  Tomorrow may be to late.  These 6 pocket size paperback books costs $33.00.   (Order Form)

3.)  Heaven's Home Protection Packet...

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."

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."
