Vatican:
Sex Abuse in Catholic Church was Homosexual Problem, not Pedophilia...
"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

September 29, 2009:
The sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church in the US and abroad was a matter of homosexuals preying on adolescent boys, not one of pedophilia, said the Vatican's representative at the UN in Geneva, Switzerland. It is "more correct," said Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, to speak of ephebophilia, a homosexual attraction to adolescent males, than pedophilia, in relation to the scandals.
"Of all priests involved in the abuses, 80 to 90 per cent belong to this sexual orientation minority which is sexually engaged with adolescent boys between the ages of 11 and 17," said Tomasi. His statement is backed up by a report commissioned by the US bishops that found that in the overwhelming majority of cases the clergy involved were homosexuals, with 81 percent of victims being adolescent males.
Tomasi also responded to criticisms, saying that while the Catholic Church has been "busy cleaning its own house, it would be good if other institutions and authorities, where the major part of abuses are reported, could do the same and inform the media about it." According to information from various sources, the problem of sexual abuse of minors in religious organizations is widespread among Protestant churches and Jewish communities.
The statement comes in the wake of accusations at the UN Human Rights Council, which published a written statement by a secularist group, the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU), alleging that the Vatican was responsible for the proliferation of sexual abuse cases involving Catholic priests. The IHEU accused the Church of a failure to honor obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
"The Holy See has been heavily implicated for decades in covering up cases of child abuse carried our by its clergy and religious orders, in obstructing justice, and in failing to deal appropriately with abusers," said Roy Brown, IHEU Main Representative at the UN Geneva.
"Yet for too long it has been given a free ride by the international community because of its presumed moral leadership. Our report is the first to bring the issue to the attention of the Council. We shall be referring to our report in the plenary of the Human Rights Council next week."
Tomasi, however, defended the Church's record, saying that "available research" showed that only 1.5 to 5 per cent of Catholic clergy had been implicated in abuse allegations, and suggesting that some of the focus ought to be shifted to other organizations that are plagued by accusations of sex abuse.
The vast plurality of Protestant churches in the US, numbering more than 224,000, including thousands of independent non-denominational groups, make the kind of organized tracking and recording of individual abuse cases as was done in the Catholic Church all but impossible. Nevertheless, some of the sex abuse cases in other religious communities have been documented piecemeal.
In June 2007, the Associated Press revealed that three companies that insure the majority of Protestant churches in the US said they receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by clergy, church staff, volunteers or congregation members. Church Mutual Insurance Co., GuideOne Insurance Co. and Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Co., which insure 165,495 churches for liability against child sex abuse, emphasized that their figures did not always specify which cases were against minors and added that not all allegations were followed by convictions or even investigations.
National surveys by Christian Ministry Resources (CMR), a tax and legal-advice publisher serving more than 75,000 congregations and 1,000 denominational agencies, has also issued a report that found that child-abuse allegations against American Protestant churches averaged 70 per week since 1993, with a slight downward trend starting in 1997. The same report also found that among Protestant churches, volunteers are more likely than clergy or paid staff to be abusers.
In 2002, Rt. Rev. William Persell, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, said in a sermon on Good Friday, "We would be naïve and dishonest were we to say this is a Roman Catholic problem and has nothing to do with us because we have married and female priests in our church. Sin and abusive behaviour know no ecclesial or other boundaries."
The John Jay Report, commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and based on surveys completed by the Roman Catholic dioceses in the United States, found that between 1950 and 2002, a total of 10,667 individuals had made allegations of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. Of these, the dioceses had been able to substantiate 6,700 accusations against 4,392 priests.
In 2002, at the height of the media frenzy over Catholic sex abuse cases, James Cobble, executive director of CMR, said that although the Catholic Church had received the most media attention, "this problem is even greater with the Protestant churches simply because of their far larger numbers." Of the approximately 350,000 churches in the US, only 5 per cent are Catholic.
Moreover, the evidence showed that abuse cases in the Catholic Church had been linked to the surge of sexual license in society in general coinciding with the "sexual revolution" of the 1960s. Alleged abuses increased dramatically in the 1960s, peaked in the 1970s, declined in the 1980s and by the 1990s had returned to the levels of the 1950s.

New U.S. seminary guidelines rule out gay priests...
LifeSiteNews.com reported on August 30, 2006:
Officially promulgated on August 4, a new 98-page Program of Priestly Formation has been issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) after being approved by the Vatican. Replacing the fourth edition of the norms guiding priestly formation in all seminaries published in 1992, the fifth edition has taken seriously the scandal of priestly sexual abuse. Speaking of a proper formation in sexuality, the document states, "As we have recently seen so dramatically in the Church, when such foundations are lacking in priests, the consequent suffering and scandals are devastating."
In the section on "Norms for the admission of candidates" to the priesthood, the Program states explicitly that "Any evidence of criminal sexual activity with a minor or an inclination toward such activity disqualifies the applicant from admission."
And in the very next clause the document addresses persons with homosexual tendencies. "With regard to the admission of candidates with same sex experiences and/or inclinations, the guidelines provided by the Holy See must be followed," says the document.
That statement, read faithfully, rules out admittance to the priesthood of not only practicing homosexuals, but also those with deep-seated homosexual tendencies, as well as those who support the homosexual lifestyle. The authoritative Vatican document on the matter was released on November 28, 2005. The document, "Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders", stated, "the Church, while profoundly respecting the persons in question, cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practice homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies, or support the so-called 'gay culture'."
(see coverage: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/nov/051129a.html )Despite the clarity from the Vatican, certain Bishops and seminary directors began in earnest to attempt to twist the statement to say differently. While such moves were relatively unsurprising from Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony and Rochester Bishop Matthew Clark, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the archbishop of Westminster in the UK, contradicted the document in an official statement. "The Instruction is not saying that men of homosexual orientation are not welcome in the priesthood," he said. (coverage: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/nov/05113008.html )
However, the USCCB Program will make such chicanery more difficult as it says that "A candidate must be prepared to accept wholeheartedly the Church's teaching on sexuality in its entirety."
The Program instructs not only the seminarian but also the seminary to be faithful to the totality of Catholic teaching on sexuality. "The teaching of sexual ethics must be thorough and unambiguous in its presentation of the authentic teaching of the Church in sexual moral matters," says the document. It adds, "This is a matter of special import since the seminarian's formation in celibate chastity includes the intellectual assent to, and embrace of, the Church's moral teachings in matters of sexuality."
The program also insists that future priests have a good grasp on the "moral evils" of "contraception, abortion, and euthanasia." The document says: "The importance of a clear grasp of the principles of medical-moral ethics cannot be underestimated for the future priest in the contemporary culture. Special attention during his preparation should be given to the fundamental respect for human life from conception to natural death and to the moral evils of and pastoral means of addressing contraception, abortion, and euthanasia."
The document "Program of Priestly Formation (Fifth Edition)" was developed by the Committee on Priestly Formation of the USCCB which was chaired by Phoenix Bishop Thomas J. Olmstead, a man very familiar to regular LifeSiteNews.com readers for his valiant defence of faith, life and family. (coverage: http://www.google.com/search?q=olmsted+site:http://www.lifes... )

"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...
https://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
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, December 7, 1977
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

"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.
