Abortion: America’s demise...

Catholic Senator John Kerry rejects Vatican's guidelines for Catholic politicians…

"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady, April 14, 1984

The KRCA News Channel reported on January 16, 2003:

One of the Democratic presidential hopefuls is rejecting the Vatican's new guidelines for Roman Catholic politicians.
The document approved by Pope John Paul II declares that Catholic politicians must oppose abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage.
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry says that "as a Catholic" he has "enormous respect for the words and teachings of the Vatican." But Kerry says that to "represent all the people" he can't be bound by church doctrine. Kerry's statement says that's part of President Kennedy's "lasting legacy."

This infamous legacy, referred to by Senator Kerry, of separating a politician's Catholic Faith from his public practice is likewise followed by Ted Kennedy, brother to the late President. Ted Kennedy's denial of his Catholic Faith in the city of Washington prompted this statement from Our Lady of the Roses:

"Many have been baptized--washed clean in the Faith, and now have chosen to destroy. I sent you, My child, into your capital city to approach two with great power. We were not mistaken in the reaction, My child; More prayers are needed. You will write, and you must give out the knowledge without hesitating, that Heaven expects and commands the last of his clan in manhood to speak out and defend his faith in your city of Washington! If he does not, My child, he will be condemned. He will be taken, My child, when he is unprepared.... You will write to Ted Kennedy and tell him that he faces eternal damnation." (Our Lady, September 6, 1975)

Senator Kerry, who has publicly and repeated denied his Catholic Faith in Washington, faces the same judgment as Ted Kennedy.

Senator Kerry's views are not compatible with the Catholic Church. The Holy Father cites as an error a view held by pro-abort Kerry, that a “politician, in his or her activity, should clearly separate the realm of private conscience from that of public conduct.” (Evangelium Vitae, #69). The Holy Father also points out that popular consensus will never determine what is good or what is evil, and furthermore states that Catholics may not obey an unjust law (such as the permitting of abortion on demand in the United States): “In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia, it is therefore never licit to obey it, or to take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law, or vote for it.” (Evangelium Vitae, #73)

The Holy Father further states that abortion is always and everywhere a grave moral evil:

“Therefore, by the authority which Christ conferred upon Peter and his Successors, in communion with the bishops—who are various occasions have condemned abortion and who in the aforementioned consultation, albeit dispersed throughout the world, have shown unanimous agreement concerning this doctrine declare that direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, always constitutes a grave moral disorder, since it is the deliberate killing of an innocent human being. This doctrine is based upon the natural law and upon the written Word of God, is transmitted by the Church’s Tradition and taught by the ordinary and universal Magisterium.” (Evangelium Vitae, #62)

In 1995, Archbishop William Levada gave very clear instruction against those who claimed to be pro-abortion Catholic politicians:

“The individual politician, like any Catholic, who is at odds with the teaching of the Church about the principle involved, i.e., that abortion constitutes the killing of innocent human life and is always gravely immoral (cf. Evangelium Vitae, nn. 57-62), has an obligation to reflect more deeply on the issue, in the hope of allowing the persuasive character of this infallibly taught teaching to become part of his belief and value system. I say infallibly taught not because Pope John Paul II has assumed in Evangelium Vitae the special prerogative recognized for individual papal teachings in the First Vatican Council, but rather because he has called attention explicitly to the fact that Catholic teaching on abortion has been an infallible doctrine of the Church by virtue of the universal ordinary Magisterium, recognized for the teachings of the Pope and worldwide college of bishops together by the Second Vatican Council. It should be clear, then, that every Catholic is required to accept this teaching as a matter of faith, and that any Catholic who would deny it would separate himself from the unity of Catholic faith and practice which is the fundamental condition for Church membership. Here I note by way of aside that Catholic "membership," unlike that of some other religious bodies, is not a matter of "enrollment" but rather of "belonging" to the Body of Christ, whose condition is the full profession of Catholic faith and the reception of Baptism as the beginning of a life of sacramental worship and moral living in accord with the teachings of Christ.” (Catholic Sentinel, June 2, 1995)

"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul? I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." – Our Lady, December 28, 1976

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

SIN CONDONED UNTO THE HIGHEST COURT OF YOUR LAND
"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, August 14, 1981

THE DAYS ARE NUMBERED
"The days are numbered for your country. Murders will abound. You will see insanity among mankind, for sin is insanity. Brother against brother, children against parents, slander and scandal, murders, abortion. What manner of sin can I not count and list for you that does not stand in lieu of judgment?" - Jesus, May 30, 1981

OATH
"Your once loyal to the oath of a doctor, your once loyal doctors are now butchers! For money they kill the young!" - Our Lady, February 10, 1978

DESTROYED
"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be destroyed! " - Jesus, June 2, 1979
