Pope Benedict XVI defrocks Ohio priest, Fr. Anthony Jablonowski, for sexual abuse...

"I will not stand for My priests who condone homosexuality and allow it in My priesthood! I will not stand for My priests who allow the murder of the unborn with their permissiveness! I will not stand by and allow My priesthood to be destroyed!" - Jesus, June 18, 1982

A former Washington County priest, Fr. Anthony Jablonowski was notified this week that Pope Benedict XVI has declared (defrocked) him no longer a member of the clergy, following his sexual abuse of a 17-year-old boy.

Anthony Jablonowski, 69, who still resides at a religious community he helped establish in 1997 in Waterford, was the priest at St. John’s Catholic Church in Churchtown when allegations arose that he had abused a minor while serving as a priest in Wyoming in the 1980s. He had also briefly served as an associate pastor at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Marietta during his 36 years as a priest.

Jablonowski pleaded guilty and served part of the 15-month to seven-year sentence he received. Since 2003, he had been under directives from the Diocese of Steubenville not to publicly identify himself as a priest, engage in public ministry or associate himself with a religious order.

The pope’s decree is a final step in the process, said Monsignnor Gerald Calovini, spokesman for the Diocese of Steubenville, Friday. “When they first became aware of this, the diocese restricted his actions,” he said. “But this is a dismissal from the clergy. It’s permanent.”

Calovini said each case of abuse is studied by the Pope before a decision is made. “Each case is judged on its own merits,” he said. “If you’re found to be guilty it’s sent to the Holy Father for a judgment to be issued.” Pope Benedict XVI issued the decree on April 7 but Jablonowski was not notified until Tuesday.

Calovini said Bishop R. Daniel Conlon of the Diocese of Steubenville informed Jablonowski of the decision in person. It means the Washington County man can no longer exercise any priestly functions or present himself as a priest.

“What I’m hoping and I think the survivors are hoping is that his being defrocked will maybe help some of the people who still believed he was innocent,” said Judy Jones, SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) leader for the Steubenville Diocese. “Maybe they will now believe he did abuse minors.” The decree may give Jablonowski’s victim some peace, she said. “Maybe it will help but I don’t know if there’s ever closure,” she said. “It’s such a sickening thing.”

Calovini said now that Jablonowski is a lay person and not a member of the clergy, he is free to live at the Carmelite Missionaries of Mary Immaculate community on Strahler Road in Waterford. Even against the order of the diocese, Jablonowski had answered the phone at the community and appeared to have lived there since his release from a Wyoming prison.

The Pope’s decision on Jablonowski’s status is final and there is no appeal process, Calovini said.

“We’re praying for those that were in any way harmed by priests in church, we’re praying for Anthony and we’re praying for the strength of our church,” he said. “It’s a sad day for the church and it’s a sad day for the diocese because we’ve lost a priest.”

Every Sunday at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine there is a Holy Hour from 10:30 am till noon for the clergy. Please join us each week in prayer for priests at this time.

"Man shall not condone evil or rationalize sin. Homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God and man! The Creator condemns those who do not repent of this sin." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1977

"Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1981

The 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.

READ YOUR BIBLES
"Your word of homosexuality can be explained by the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Read in your Bibles or consult your clergy. Find yourselves, My children, a humble, pious clergy. Many have fallen away from the Faith." Our Lady, October 6, 1992

WOE TO THE PASTORS
"My children, can I bring you a message of joy when My heart is torn by the murders and the loss of respect for your elders? Children against parents, parents going about, running to and fro, marrying and giving in marriage, living adulterously, consorting with evil, with homosexuals and lesbians! What manner of life do you show for your children to make example of? Woe to the parent that scandalizes his child. It is better if that parent had died in his mother's womb! Woe to the pastors that scandalize the children! They shall burn in an eternity of hell for their deception!" Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1977

PASTORS HELD RESPONSIBLE
"We hold the pastors of My Son's House, We hold them as being responsible for the fall of the children. Be ye warned now, My children, that woe to the man who has this responsibility upon his conscience and his soul. Scandals have been brought into the lives of your children. Perversion, homosexuality, immorality, perverted sex, My children-where shall you stop but at the abyss!" Our Lady of the Roses, December 7, 1977

"YOU WILL BE REMOVED"
"I am your God, and I say unto you: continue to change My Church and you will fall! You will build a secular church, bringing in all--even heretics, even homosexuals. All aberrations condemned by the Eternal Father, you will permit in the name of humanism. Nay, no! I say unto you as your God. You will be given a short reign, for I consider you then an abomination, and as such you will be removed." Jesus, May 23, 1979

AN ABOMINATION
"Man shall not condone evil or rationalize sin. Homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God and man! The Creator condemns those who do not repent of this sin." Our Lady, August 5, 1977

BLACK CLOUD OVER AMERICA
"In the days of Sodom, so too were men giving themselves over to all the pleasures of the flesh: eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage. All manner of sinful lusts are being committed. Men shameful with men, women casting aside their role of motherhood and lusting after women. As it was in the days of Sodom, so now is this black cloud over America." Our Lady, July 14, 1979

SODOM: "WE DESTROYED IT"
"And the great issue now of homosexuality in your country, that shall be on the balance that Michael holds. Unless this balance is evened by removing this evil from your country and bringing in just laws to prevent the spread of homosexuality, you cannot be saved; your country cannot be saved. Because I repeat again, as I have repeated in the past: When a country has given itself over to immorality and all pleasures of the flesh, and abominations of the flesh, then that country will fall! If you do not believe Me, My children, I say: You will read your history books, and you will find out that there was a Sodom and Gomorrah. And what did We do to that abominable city, Sodom? We destroyed it! And what did We do to Gomorrah? We destroyed it! And We destroyed all who did not follow the plan for their redemption." Jesus, November 1, 1985

SIN: FORERUNNER OF WAR
"For sin is always a forerunner for war, My children: murders, persecutions, robberies, all manners of sins of the flesh, homosexuality, lesbianism, perversion, sodomy. Sodom and Gomorrah fell for less sins than you have committed now upon your earth. Noah took to the ark and the world was in a better state spiritually than your world now; for you have accepted a sophisticated manner of sin, based on man's reasoning and not God's truth." Our Lady, October 2, 1979

ANY COUNTRY
"Any country that allows homosexuals to roam and to seduce the young shall be destroyed." Our Lady, June 30, 1984

HOLY HOUR
"I wish that there be held on these sacred grounds an hour of reparation on the Day of the Lord. This hour will be for your Vicar and the fallen hierarchy in the House of God. This hour will also be in atonement for the discard of the holy Day of God." - Our Lady, September 14, 1972
