Statistical decline of the Catholic Church since Vatican II...
"Already there
is much discord in My Church upon earth. It saddens everyone in Heaven. And We
are out in force now, going throughout the world seeking to set up armies of
good children who will fight, to the bitter end if necessary, to save My Church
upon earth. It is being destroyed. Just as rodents will burrow into a house,
those who have evil natures are burrowing into My Church. We find it almost
unrecognizable, My children. However, I will say this: I asked you to remain in
your parish churches, not to judge by the actions of man.
"The institution itself, as set by Me, remains to be
true; however, the cavorting and the banjos and the guitars and the musical
interludes and the dancing are all created by satan. So you can understand that
satan has entered now with his armies in full regalia, appearing as humans.
However, they are demons in disguise, and they have one ultimate aim: to try to
destroy My Church, the Roman Catholic Church, with the seat of Peter as the
head." - Jesus, March 18, 1989
The following statistics are originally from Kenneth Jones' Index of Leading Catholic Indicators:
Priests. After skyrocketing from about 27,000 in 1930 to 58,000 in 1965, the number of priests in the United States dropped to 45,000 in 2002. By 2020, there will be about 31,000 priests--and only 15,000 will be under the age of 70. Right now there are more priests aged 80 to 84 than there are aged 30 to 34.
Ordinations. In 1965 there were 1,575 ordinations to the priesthood, in 2002 there were 450, a decline of 350 percent. Taking into account ordinations, deaths and departures, in 1965 there was a net gain of 725 priests. In 1998, there was a net loss of 810.
Priestless parishes. About 1 percent of parishes, 549, were without a resident priest in 1965. In 2002 there were 2,928 priestless parishes, about 15 percent of U.S. parishes. By 2020, a quarter of all parishes, 4,656, will have no priest.
Seminarians. Between 1965 and 2002, the number of seminarians dropped from 49,000 to 4,700--a 90 percent decrease. Without any students, seminaries across the country have been sold or shuttered. There were 596 seminaries in 1965, and only 200 in 2002.
Sisters. 180,000 sisters were the backbone of the Catholic education and health systems in 1965. In 2002, there were 75,000 sisters, with an average age of 68. By 2020, the number of sisters will drop to 40,000--and of these, only 21,000 will be aged 70 or under. In 1965, 104,000 sisters were teaching, while in 2002 there were only 8,200 teachers.
Brothers. The number of professed brothers decreased from about 12,000 in 1965 to 5,700 in 2002, with a further drop to 3,100 projected for 2020.
Religious Orders. The religious orders will soon be virtually non-existent in the United States. For example, in 1965 there were 5,277 Jesuit priests and 3,559 seminarians; in 2000 there were 3,172 priests and 38 seminarians. There were 2,534 OFM Franciscan priests and 2,251 seminarians in 1965; in 2000 there were 1,492 priests and 60 seminarians. There were 2,434 Christian Brothers in 1965 and 912 seminarians; in 2000 there were 959 Brothers and 7 seminarians. There were 1,148 Redemptorist priests in 1965 and 1,128 seminarians; in 2000 there were 349 priests and 24 seminarians. Every major religious order in the United States mirrors these statistics.
High Schools. Between 1965 and 2002 the number of diocesan high schools fell from 1,566 to 786. At the same time the number of students dropped from almost 700,000 to 386,000.
Parochial Grade Schools. There were 10,503 parochial grade schools in 1965 and 6,623 in 2002. The number of students went from 4.5 million to 1.9 million.
Sacramental Life. In 1965 there were 1.3 million infant baptisms; in 2002 there were 1 million. (In the same period the number of Catholics in the United States rose from 45 million to 65 million.) In 1965 there were 126,000 adult baptisms-----converts-----in 2002 there were 80,000. In 1965 there were 352,000 Catholic marriages, in 2002 there were 256,000. In 1965 there were 338 annulments, in 2002 there were 50,000.
Mass attendance. A 1958 Gallup poll reported that 74 percent of Catholics went to Sunday Mass in 1958. A 1994 University of Notre Dame study found that the attendance rate was 26.6 percent. A more recent study by Fordham University professor James Lothian concluded that 65 percent of Catholics went to Sunday Mass in 1965, while the rate dropped to 25 percent in 2000.
"The great Council, the Council that has brought forth discord, disunity, and the loss of souls, the major fact behind this destruction was because of the lack of prayer. Satan sat in within this Council, and he watched his advantage." - St. Michael, March 18, 1976
The amazing
Bayside Prophecies...
http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus,
Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
STARTED
WITH GOOD INTENTIONS
"Bishops
in My Son's House, Church, you have gone astray. You have scattered Our sheep.
You have joined with all manner of heretics and false teachers. You started with
good intentions in your Council, but you became deluded in your search for peace
and brotherhood. You allowed all manner of error to creep slowly into My Son's
House, Church. You must understand that you are setting in motion the formation
of a World Council of Churches, but it will not be the Church of My Son. It will
be a church of man, a church without the true foundation." - Our Lady,
June 5,
1976
THIRD
SECRET OF FATIMA
"How I
warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the
hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My
Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978
A
STORMY SEA
"My children, long ago I warned you from Fatima, I warned you through many
voice-boxes throughout your world that the time will come when you will embark
upon a stormy sea, and it shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against
cardinal, and satan shall set himself in your midst." - Our Lady, November
20, 1976
DISCORD
AND DISUNITY
"The
great Council, the Council that has brought forth discord, disunity, and the
loss of souls, the major fact behind this destruction was because of the lack of
prayer.
"Satan sat in within this Council, and he watched his advantage. He is now
playing a game of chess with the Red Hats and the Purple Hats, moving them with
great glee as he watches the evil accelerate, and all manners of people are
flowing fast through the doors of the Holy City and all ecumenical bodies." -
St. Michael,
March 18,
1976
DOORS
WERE OPENED
"O My
children, recognize, I repeat, the signs of your times. You are fast selling
yourselves into slavery. Your government and the governments of the world are
now almost in full control of the agents of hell. The forces of 666 are firmly
entrenched in your government, in the clergy—your pastors, your shepherds, your
bishops; even satan has entered into the highest realms of the hierarchy in
Rome.
"My
children, the Council of Vatican II was started with good intent, but the doors
were opened to all manner of heretics, causing a slow pollution of the Faith. My
children, you must now awaken the pastors from their slumber! They have given
themselves over now to a new religion of man." - Our Lady,
July 25,
1977
ALL
MANNER OF PROMISES
"All
manner of promises were made at the Council in Rome, Vatican II. The road to
hell is often paved with good intentions.
"I
have warned you in the past and I warn you again: you cannot compromise your
Faith with the enemies of your God. In many countries throughout your world it
appears, My children—and I say appears—that the Communist country leaders are
permitting religion within their rule. This is a sham, My children, a cover-up
for the fact that it is state-controlled. The propaganda machines send out much
propaganda that deceives the public and those who are willing to believe all
given out in the medias." - Our Lady,
May 13,
1978
SATAN
WAS PRESENT
"You will
not destroy My Son's House, Church, by consorting with the enemies of My Son!
You will not convert the enemy by lowering the standards. Your example must be
one of a steadfast faith.
"Change! What need is change when the foundation has stood through the test of
time? It is a dissatisfied man, a greedy and lustful man who seeks change. Does
he change to bring man to God? No! He changes to take man from God and give him
to Lucifer!
"Satan
was present, he listened with careful ears at the great Council. He awaited
every move, and he placed his agents among you! Recognize and reconstruct your
path. You have been deluded. You are on the wrong road. Turn about now, or you
will sow the seeds for your own destruction!
"How
many warnings will you receive before the hand of your Father will descend upon
you? No date do I give unto all mankind, but only to few. All those who accept
the grace given freely for the asking will not be caught unawares. They will
prepare themselves. All mankind upon earth should prepare for his death.
"We
look upon a world where mankind goes about defaming himself and the Father,
wallowing in all manners of lust and pleasure, abomination—even in the House of
God! He lives as though he never will die. No human flesh will be eternal, but
the soul is eternal and will live on forever." - Our Lady,
August
14, 1974
AS
PROMISED AT FATIMA
"I say this evening, as your God, that on that date, as promised at Fatima,
satan entered My Church upon earth. He brought with him his agents—and satan
himself, the deceiver of all mankind—sat in on Vatican II and maneuvered all the
outsiders to come in and distort My doctrines and distort the truth.
"At Fatima, My Mother tried to warn of this coming event, but who cared to
listen? Who was interested in listening? Not those who were years—earth-years
away. All Heaven was crying in that time, for the Eternal Father had made it
known how His message would be received. To this day, to your earth-year of
1986, you have not been given, My children, the full secrets as given to the
children at Fatima.
"Therefore, I must make it known at this time to you. If you are perceiving
and interested in My Church upon earth, I do not have to explain Myself too
fully; for you will already know of the chaos that satan has wrought when he
entered My Church. And why did he enter, you say? This I want it made known, My
child—and you will not be affrighted as you are now—you will speak out for Me
and My Mother, and the Eternal Father in the Holy Spirit; you will speak out and
say that satan is in the Church, My Church upon earth. He knows his time is
growing short.
"And if you think you have seen carnage now already in the Church, the
worst is yet to come, unless you follow the rules, given by My Mother many years
ago, of prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. By your example you may be able to
save others. For soon there will come upon you the great Chastisement. It comes
in two parts, My child and My children: the Third World War and, also, the Ball
of Redemption. These can no longer be delayed. For the good seem to go about
their way, perhaps pridefully. We do not seek to accuse or place a stigma on
any, but some may pridefully sit back and let others go forth and make these
sacrifices and prayers and penance. Because they have become smug, or because
they have not the grace to understand, that once you receive this grace much is
expected of you. You must even work harder to save your brothers and sisters.
"My child and My children, this message will not be greeted gleefully by
your clergy. But since Lucy has been silenced, it is necessary that the world
knows the truth. I will also send this message out through one more seer in the
world, and if it is not abided by I have nothing to do but to allow the
Chastisement to fall upon mankind.” - Jesus, June 18, 1986

There are 4 things you must have to survive the days ahead:
1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...
"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 (Order Form)

army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries
of the world. 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."
