Ecuador based agency
attacks Catholic Church for doctrines on human life and family
Development and Peace funds agency promoting abortion, contraceptives, homosexuality...
"We warned you over and over again, through years of visitations upon earth--My Mother going to and fro to warn you, that those who have given themselves over to debasement, by the practice of homosexuality, birth control, abortion and all other aberrations that bring sorrow to My Mother's heart--this must be stopped now. There shall be no excuse accepted in Heaven by the saints, nor by My Mother and I, or the Eternal Father and the Holy Ghost, for what you are doing upon earth now." - Jesus, June 6, 1987
LifeSiteNews.com reported on May 4, 2009:
The Canadian Catholic bishops' international aid agency is supporting a pro-abortion information service in Ecuador that consistently publishes opinion and news articles supportive of the legalization or depenalization of abortion, contraceptive use, and homosexual behavior, as well as attacking the Catholic Church for its doctrines on human life and family, LifeSiteNews has learned.
The Latin American Information Agency (Agencia Latinoamericana de Información - ALAI), receives regular funding from the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP), which is an arm of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
ALAI's website (http://alainet.org) contains over two hundred articles mentioning abortion (http://alainet.org/docs/spip.php?page=recherche&lang=es&recherche=aborto...). Out of a sample of 30 hits using the search term "abortion" in ALAI's search engine, LifeSiteNews found 24 articles advocating the legalization and/or availability of abortion, or portraying the availability of abortion in a positive light. Of the other six, three did not mention abortion within the text, two mentioned it in a neutral manner, and only one mentioned negative consequences of abortion -- and then used those consequences to advocate contraception.
One pro-abortion editorial published by ALAI says that banning abortion, contraception and homosexual behavior is a form of "terror" and "femicide", comparing it to rape and torture.
"Femicide is the final result of a continuum of terror that includes rape, torture, genital mutilation...obligatory heterosexuality....penalizing contraception and abortion" state the authors (see original article in Spanish at http://alainet.org/active/28443).
Another article reported on Uruguayan President Tabare Vazquez's decision to veto an abortion legalization bill, the "veto that kills" and called the opposing side's position the "so-called pro-life" stance (see article at http://alainet.org/active/27692)
Two articles distort the Catholic Church's historic and current teaching on an abortion in an attempt to convince the reader that the procedure can be morally acceptable in some cases.
One author states openly that she accepts "its decriminalization in certain cases, such as rape," and claims that "during the history of the Catholic Church, it never came to have a unanimous and definitive posture with respect to abortion. It oscillated between condemning it radically to allowing it in certain phases of pregnancy" (see article at http://alainet.org/active/29407).
In reality, the Catholic Church has always condemned abortion as gravely sinful, although certain theologians, who lacked modern scientific knowledge about the process of fertilization and human development, believed that a human life did not immediately begin after pregnancy.
Another author, who claims to be a Catholic priest, implies that the beginning of life in the womb is not clear and that therefore first trimester abortions are not clearly immoral.
After admitting that the embryo has its own unique genetic code, the author claims that its humanity is brought into question by the fact that it receives hormones and other support from the mother.
He states "a more than probable conclusion that follows from these considerations: the genes are not a person in miniature. Molecular biology makes it clear that, for the development and the ethics of the embryo, extragenetic information is as important as genetic information" and that its humanity does not occur "until the eighth week."
"It is clear," he concludes, "that in this way whoever follows this theory can reasonably hold that the interruption of the embryo before the eighth week cannot be considered as an attack against human life, nor can those contraceptive methods that impede the embryonic development before that date be considered abortifacient" (see article at http://alainet.org/active/29097).
ALAI republishes and distributes declarations made by various pro-abortion organizations, including "Catholics for the Right to Decide," which has been repeatedly denounced by leaders in the Catholic hierarchy for deceiving the public about the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion.
It also runs articles that advocate strategies for defeating the moral influence of the Catholic Church, which it refers to as the "religious right".
One article counsels readers on "various challenges in confronting the power of the religious right. One of those challenges is to resist attempts by the Catholic Church to recover its hegemony on sexual morality, for which it is necessary to emphasize the importance of secular societies and the separation of Church and State" (see original article at http://alainet.org/active/19894).
Sally Birch, Executive Director of ALAI, told LifeSiteNews that her organization is a "press agency focusing on social issues. We produce, you could say in some senses, alternative information on the political, social, and economic situation in Latin America." She acknowledged that the group is funded by CCODP, and although she wouldn't disclose the amount, admitted that it was over $10,000 Canadian dollars per year.
"The organizations that use your organizations are left-wing organizations, aren't they?" LifeSiteNews asked. "Um, progressive let's say," responded Birch.
Regarding articles that favored abortion, contraception, and homosexuality, Birch acknowledged that "probably more of them" were favorable to such practices, but said it was "debatable." She agreed to try to find examples that were not and send them to this reporter by email. As of press time, LifeSiteNews has not received a response.
The Latin American Information Agency is one of many pro-abortion, pro-contraception, and pro-gay organizations funded by the CCODP. As LifeSiteNews has reported in recent months, CCODP funds many such organizations in North America, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia (see full coverage at http://www.lifesitenews.com/features/DevelopmentPeace/).
After admitting to LifeSiteNews in a previous interview that CCODP has no policy of refusing funds to pro-abortion organizations, the group has not responded to requests for further interviews.
An investigation into the funding of such organizations has reportedly been completed by a committee consisting of two Canadian bishops, an American bishop, and CCODP staff. The results have not yet been released.
An April 20 Catholic News Service report, re-published in Toronto's Catholic Register under the title, "Development and Peace confident of no wrongdoing in Mexico", reports that CCODP executive director Michael Casey was "not dismayed" after the committee's initial meeting in Mexico City with the five groups LifeSiteNews found to be pro-abortion.
Several Canadian bishops have stated that they will refuse to contribute funds this year to CCDOP if it cannot refute allegations that it is supporting pro-abortion organizations.

"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 of
the Roses, December 28, 1976
"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 of the Roses, April 14, 1984
The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
https://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:
SIN OF OMISSION
"The
sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or Hierarchy. I
repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to
hell. Among them there will be also mitres." - Our Lady, October
6, 1980
U.S. SHALL BE FIRST STRUCK
"One of the
reasons the Eternal Father chose your city and your state for My appearance was
because of abortion, the murder of the holy innocents. Your nation, without
repentance, shall be the first struck." - Our
Lady,
March 15, 1978
THE UNITED STATES SHALL FALL
"How can a great country like the United States fall, you say, My child? You
ask Me in your heart. I read your heart. I will tell you why. Because they
have given themselves over to satan. When a country has lost its morality and
seeks the pleasures of the flesh, giving over, themselves over, to all manner of
abominations, like homosexuality, and condoning this up the highest courts of
the land, then that country shall fall." -
Our Lady of the Roses, November 1,
1985
DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves
over to destroying human life in abortions." -
Jesus,
June 6, 1987
FOULEST OF DEEDS
"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
DESTROYED
"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be
destroyed!" - Jesus, June 2, 1979
HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED
"The Eternal Father command that you stop these murders at once! You will not
destroy the lives of the unborn. Human life is sacred in the eyes of your God.
No man has the right to destroy a life. The Father, He sends this life to you,
and only He will decide when it will return back to the Kingdom.
"Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you
who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a
plan for every life He sends." - Our Lady, August 5, 1971
WILL NEVER BE CONDONED
"You will remember, My children and My child, to guard the young. Your clergy
have fallen into darkness. Abortion will never be condoned. But We must have
others who fervently will go forward and bring out to the minds of those who
have actually seduced the country and the children--bring them the knowledge of
Heaven, hell and purgatory. Then they will not have free license to sin."
- Our Lady,
May 28, 1983
GOVERNMENT
"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
NUNS
"That is what makes My heart ache, My child. That is one of the reasons Theresa
is crying constantly when she looks into the convents and sees what is going on.
Many now believe in abortion, the murders of the children; and many have
committed this act upon themselves." - Jesus, October 1, 1988
SIXTY
MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers
of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These
numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world."
- Our Lady,
June 18, 1986
TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little
babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and
scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just
recompense." - Our Lady,
March 18, 1983
BOMBS IN THE UNITED STATES
"These interlopers upon the serenity of the United States have dark skins....
With their plans there will be bombs placed in strategic places and many shall
die at the hands of these ruffians....
"One big reason for permitting this disaster in New York
would be the abortion mills throughout the city and the country."
- Jesus,
October 1, 1988
HOLY SPIRIT
"At the time of conception, the Holy Spirit makes the child, and the breath of
the Almighty gives it life." - Our Lady,
June 18, 1991
LIMBO
"And what, My children, are We going to do with all the aborted babies? O My
child, I know you feel as I do, for I can see the great distress on your face.
What are We going to do, My child? Do you understand when they come to Us, they
must go to Limbo? They are in Heaven, a happy place, but they cannot see God." -
Our Lady, October 2, 1987
SORROWFULLY
"Sorrowfully, the penance that is to come upon the world for the murders of the
unborn shall be a chastisement far greater in severity than man has ever
witnessed in the past nor ever shall pass through again. Your world is plunging
into a deep chasm of suffering and destruction." -
Our Lady,
May 20, 1978
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
WOE TO THE WOMAN
"Know, My child, this simple lesson, that in these days of the latter times,
women will seek to cast off their role as mother and a woman. Women will cast it
off under the direction of satan, and murder her children. Woe to the woman who
does not repent of this vile abomination! She has walked the road to eternal
damnation and hell. Repent, O woman, or forever be lost!" -
Our Lady, March 18, 1975
