LifeSiteNews' Detailed Response to Canadian Bishops' Whitewash Report on Development and Peace...

"Lucifer is the prince of darkness and the father of all heresy and liars. I say this with great anguish, for Lucifer has entered into My Church, My household. The battle is great upon earth, and when the battle reaches into My Church, it will be a testing ground for all of earth and the world. For when My Church and the world become one, know that the end is at hand.” – Jesus, August 5, 1978  

LifeSiteNews.com reported on June 29, 2009:

Yesterday, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) released their report concerning the Mexican partners of their international development arm - Development & Peace. Given the very clear and incontrovertible evidence made available by LifeSiteNews.com confirming that the groups have advocated for abortion, it was astonishing that the report whitewashed the matter, saying: "we believe the allegations by Lifesite News … are not founded on the facts."

Distortion of LSN Allegations

The report says that "the allegations by Lifesite News" consisted of the allegation "that financial assistance by the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) aided projects related to the promotion of abortion."  However, LSN never reported that CCODP (D&P) was aiding "projects related to the promotion of abortion." Instead, we provided substantiated evidence that the groups, which received funding for various non-abortion related projects, were also engaged in pro-abortion advocacy. 

Given that three members of D&P led the bishops in their investigations, such distortion is probably not surprising.  It was D&P that began misrepresenting our reports by claiming we were making such allegations.  As early as March 24, only 12 days after LSN broke the story, we were already addressing the misrepresentation and D&P's avoidance of the real issues.  We repeated over and over again that the evidence in our stories confirmed that the funded groups were involved in abortion and contraception advocacy - not that D&P was funding abortion-related projects. 

Only Addressed One Piece of Evidence - the Least Significant - and Ignored Rest

The report was limited to evidence regarding the first five groups identified by LSN in Mexico.  However, the CCCB formal investigation was undertaken in the context of dozens of other LSN reports finding incontrovertible evidence - photographic, direct interviews, website materials, and other - on groups involved in abortion and contraceptive advocacy funded by D&P all over Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Moreover, the report did not even address all the evidence provided in LSN's reports on the first five groups.  It took up only one piece of evidence, which was also the least significant of the pieces of evidence of pro-abortion activity on the part of the groups -- the very same "straw-man" tactic that D&P used in attempting to discredit our original reports.

The report focuses on a single pro-abortion UN document signed by three of the groups, a decision that the report admits was "imprudent." Thankfully, the bishops do note that the UN document that the groups "endorsed contains several orientations not in accordance with the teaching of the Catholic Church." However, we have to wonder, if the UN document included advocacy for racism or anti-Semitism, instead of abortion, would the groups' formal endorsements be labeled as merely "imprudent"? 

The CCCB report ignores the irrefutable evidence that one of the five groups, the "All Rights for Everyone Network" (Todos los Derechos Para Todos y Todas) publicly supported Mexico City's abortion-on-demand legislation, which mandates the provision of abortions in the city's public hospitals.

The All Rights for Everyone Network also states in its own "Agenda" that one of its goals is the "putting into effect the right on women who are impregnated as a consequence of rape to interrupt their pregnancy."

Another group, the "Agustin Pro Juarez Center for Human Rights" (Centro de Derechos Humanos Agustín Pro Júarez) signed a public declaration whose only purpose was to denounce a proposed right-to-life amendment to the constitution of the state of Jalisco, which protects life from the moment of conception.

In addition, LSN has revealed that various members of the orginal five groups signed two other "human rights" statements that support the availability of abortion.

No reference is made in the report to subsequent LSN reports providing strong evidence of three more D&P sponsored Mexican groups as being pro-abortion.

Response of Mexican Bishops Not Noted

The report notes that the Canadian delegation met with three bishops and two staff representing the Mexican Episcopal Conference. Nothing is said in the report, however, about what concerns or comments the Mexican bishops may have expressed on the issue. This seems to be a glaring omission.

Surely it would be appropriate to give some indication in the report, which is primarily intended for the rest of Canada's bishops, what the response of their brother bishops in Mexico was to the controversy.

However, on a positive note, the CCCB report does state its regret that "the Mexican organizations have so little or no relation with the Episcopal Conference of their country." It also adds, "We consider it important for Development and Peace to foster good relationships with the Bishops of those countries where groups receive CCODP financial assistance." LSN has also stressed the serious need for such a policy.

CCCB Report Did Hint at Deficiency in CCODP Decision Making

Although the CCCB report does not directly criticize CCODP (as it does LSN) or accept the validity of the LSN reports, it does include a curious paragraph indicating that the bishops see that there are indeed problems that demand an improvement in CCODP's decision-making process. The paragraph states,

We hope the present circumstances encourage Development and Peace to be more vigilant in analysing requests for financial assistance and more demanding about receiving information from possible partners. … we would encourage Development and Peace to ensure more thorough consultations with the Bishops of Canada, particularly the two Bishops who are appointed as members of the Development and Peace National Council, especially when there are questions involving moral issues such as abortion and contraception.

We could not agree more. These recommendations do not address nor resolve the overall systemic problem, but they are a step in the right direction.

LSN Not Contacted During Investigation

As already mentioned, the report even gets LSN's assertions wrong.  This leads us to wonder if the two Canadian Bishops who authored the report have read our many investigative reports on the matter - and if not all of them, at least the first 20 which were completed prior to their trip to Mexico.  Since the three-page report addresses LSN numerous times, it is also a wonder that none of our staff were contacted by the investigating bishops or their representatives.

Discuss it With the Bishops? - LSN has Tried to do so From the Beginning

The report appeals directly to LSN leadership asking us to "dialogue" with the Bishops of Canada.  "We also hope there will be a means for frank and transparent dialogue between Lifesite and the Bishops of Canada," says the report.

In fact, this was a process to which LifeSiteNews gave high priority and was engaged in from the beginning of this controversy.

In addition to repeatedly and personally speaking with several bishops on the matter - some of whom were very critical of our reports - we offered to be available to answer questions from bishops at the meeting of the Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops - an offer that was politely declined.  Moreover, we attempted to make the same offer to the general secretary of the CCCB but our call was not returned.  And again, the bishops who undertook the investigation did not contact us for their report, perhaps on the advice of others.

The report also makes an "urgent appeal" to LSN "that it establish an open and fruitful dialogue with Canadian Catholic groups."  LSN has however, since its beginnings done just that.  We have worked fruitfully with the CCCB's own Catholic Organization for Life and Family, with the Catholic Civil Rights League of Canada, with Priests for Life Canada, with the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, and Catholic groups all over the world too numerous to mention. We have always been very open to working with Catholic groups - if they are also willing to work with us.

A Counter-Witness to the Gospel?

In a strong rebuke of LSN, the report states: "We are convinced that when a group makes allegations, accusations and denunciations against another, this can bring nothing positive to our Church and is a counter-witness to that Gospel spirit that should guide all Christians. Negative actions of this kind encourage suspicion, scandal and division in the Church."

As for LifeSiteNews making "allegations, accusations and denunciations," that has been the language of Development and Peace in response to our investigative reports. In reality, LifeSiteNews merely presented the readily available evidence that showed pro-abortion advocacy on the part of the groups.

Prior to publishing our first story on the matter, LifeSiteNews directly contacted D&P - an official arm of the CCCB - and we were told by their Director of International Programs that the organization did not concern itself with the abortion stand of the groups funded but merely funded projects of whatever groups that suited D&P's non-abortion related objectives.

Negativity and denunciation only entered the picture when D&P accused LSN of being "dangerously irresponsible and slanderous" and of using "ill-conceived conjecture and hypothesis, to deliberately misinterpret the social justice initiatives of our southern partners in this light."

Rather than responding in kind, we specifically noted that we were assuming "good will on the part of D&P" and that "they were misled about the activities of the pro-abortion groups in Mexico which they fund."

LifeSiteNews Reports Always Have Positive Intent

We at LSN had every reason to believe that when presented with the facts, the bishops of Canada would be thankful and divert their much-needed development funds to groups more worthy of such funding in the developing world. 

LSN reports always have the intention of bringing positive change. When we report on difficult situations such as this, we do so with the understanding that often, positive change to certain problems can and will only occur if the problems are brought into the light of public scrutiny. Otherwise, in those situations, nothing is likely to happen to correct the errors involved.

In the case of Development & Peace, this is certainly not the first time the organization has been found to be supporting pro-abortion groups, and not the first time it has vigorously resisted correcting the problem. Our latest reports have simply revealed the problem to be systemic in the organization. We have given Canada's bishops much previously unknown information that should help them gain the knowledge and support needed to take the actions necessary to correct the problems.

Just prior to our original reportage, the Odama Administration, to the dismay of the US Bishops and the Vatican struck down the Mexico-City Policy that prohibited US federal funding for groups that perform or even promote abortion. We believe that if a secular government was willing and able to institute such an admirable policy, an official arm of the Canadian bishops should also be willing and able to implement a similar policy.

If the Development & Peace problem is however denied and not corrected, then yes, there will be "suspicion, scandal and division in the Church" - not because of our reports, but because our information was not welcomed as a service to the Church and not acted upon.

This is NOT Over

This story is not over.  Many bishops have withheld funding from D&P over this and the CCCB report has not yet changed that, and we suspect that it won't. 

Because it is a whitewash, the report will cause even greater scandal.  Readers have already told us that the Development and Peace denials and deception are all-too evident and reminiscent of similar tactics employed in previous years with other scandals.

We hope that the report will cause other bishops in the developing world to re-double their efforts to insist that the Canadian bishops halt funding of pro-abortion groups in their countries and re-direct the funding to more faithful and worthy groups.

As a Peruvian Archbishop said in a May 28 letter, in which he "formally" requested that the bishops of Canada cease funding pro-abortion groups in his country: "It is very disturbing to have groups which work against the Bishops of Peru by attempting to undermine legal protection for the right to life of unborn children, be funded by our brother bishops in Canada."

Composition of Investigation Team Raises Questions

The report revealed that the two bishops who undertook the investigation were "assisted" by three D&P officials. Archbishop Martin Currie, of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Bishop François Lapierre of Saint-Hyacinthe were the authors of the report. They were assisted by Msgr. Carlos Quintana, C.S.S., Executive Director of the National Collection for the Church in Latin America of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; Msgr. Mario Paquette, P.H., General Secretary of the CCCB; and three persons from Development and Peace who saw to travel arrangements and other organising: Messrs Michael Casey, Executive Director, Paul Cliche, Deputy Director of the International Programs Department, and André Charlebois, Program Officer for Latin
America.

Based on comments LifeSiteNews received from numerous other sources, many of them experienced professionals, the Bishops of Canada will only be able to properly assess the Development and Peace controversy by engaging a fully independent, professional agency to investigate the groups named by LifeSiteNews and others. The abscence of trained independent investigators, plus the inclusion of three senior CCODP officials in the investigation team, created a situation that could not possibly have resulted in a fully credible report.

LifeSiteNews encourages Canada's bishops to have their staff carefully review all the information in every one of our reports on this issue.  An independent professional audit of CCODP funding policies and groups which are in receipt of its funding is essential.

LifeSiteNews Still Confident That Canadian Bishops Will Correct CCODP Problems

LifeSiteNews still expresses confidence that at least some of Canada's bishops will take the needed action to correct the serious problems with CCODP funding. We believe that this now public controversy will in the end be of substantial benefit for the Church and especially for the good of the people in the developing world who dearly need the support of Canadian Catholics.

The Truly Great Social Justice Issue of our Day

And finally, we believe that our series of investigative reports will benefit the protection of a true culture of life and family in the developing world which is currently under relentless assault by wealthy anti-life, anti-family international forces. The Church and other genuinely pro-life minded groups in these nations desperately need financial and other support from sympathetic organizations for this battle.

This is the truly great social justice issue of our day. Nothing else comes close to it in importance and degree of influence upon these vulnerable nations, their people and cultures.

John Pacheco, from the blog SoCon or Bust, has released a video outlining the scandal caused by Development and Peace’s funding of groups that support abortion and contraception. Since the scandal became public Pacheco has conducted his own investigations into many of D&P’s partners and published the findings on his blog along with his often fervent personal blog commentaries on the findings.

Pacheco's minimalist style video follows LifeSiteNews.com's release of a professionally produced video giving an overview of the scandal (see that video here). The conservative Catholic activist, following up on LSN's intitial report on Mexican groups funded by D&P, discovered and published additional evidence of groups in several nations that were being funded by Development and Peace while acting in violation of Catholic principles on abortion and contraception.

LifeSiteNews followed up on some of Socon or Bust's most significant leads with investigative news reports on them that included addtional information.

The conservative activist's 8-minute video walks viewers through the evidence proving that D&P has been funding pro-abortion and pro-contaception groups.” One partner says on the video that they were involved in “the struggle to preserve the legal right … to abortion,” specifically “therapeutic abortion,” saying that it was “stolen” from them.

Regarding the letter from the Peruvian bishops to Canada's bishops, Pacheco observes that the “fact that the Peruvian Bishops have to ask D&P to stop its sexual imperialism and exploitation of the poor is yet another disgrace of the Catholic Church.”

Pacheco concludes by listing a number of things that the lay faithful can do to in order to help solve this problem including. Educate “yourself about where your hard-earned money is going,” he says. “Do not blindly give to charities calling themselves ‘Catholic.’”

In 2009, investigative reporters from LifeSiteNews.com discovered a widespread scandal with the funding practices of the Canadian Catholic Organization For Development and Peace (CCODP). This official agency of the Canadian Catholic Bishops has been funding pro-abortion groups. Watch this video to see the undeniable evidence of pro-abortion and other advocacy contrary to Catholic teachings on life and family.

The CCODP continues to deny any and all wrongdoing in the funding of these "partners" and their abortion-advocacy. More details about the CCODP abortion scandal can be found on the LifeSiteNews Development & Peace Feature Page that includes over 50 news articles documenting discoveries of pro-abortion funding by D&P in South & Central America, Asia and Africa. A complete, easy-to-read document detailing all of the evidence of pro-abortion funding by D&P can be found here.  

This powerful 5-minute video on the D&P scandal is expected to help many more people understand the seriousness of this issue and the validity of LSN's well-documented investigative reports that have exposed the problem beyond a shadow of a doubt.

LifeSiteNews commissioned the production of the video to present a compact, compelling and easy-to-follow presentation summarizing some of the large volume of information on the issue.

Wide promotion of the video, "Development & Peace: Canada's Catholic Abortion Scandal," is being encouraged with the hope that this will result in long overdue, major reform of D&P and the permanent removal of all funding to any groups that violate Catholic life and family principles.

Martinez Sistach, the Cardinal Archbishop of Barcelona, Spain, said in a recent interview that abortion and abortifacient contraception are attacks on human life, comparing them to the mass murder of Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II.

Commenting on the murder of unborn children inside their mothers' wombs, Sistach observed that "the Bible teaches us that man and woman were created in the image and likeness of God. To touch a man or a woman is to touch God. To kill a human being is to kill God.  Historically, we have seen barbarities like the Holocaust."

Society, he said, "should respect human life however it is, because all of us have limitations.  If not, only some people could live, because we are in an egoistical and hedonistic society."

Remarking on the proposal by the ruling Spanish Socialist Worker's Party to allow adolescents as young as 16 to have an abortion without their parents' knowledge or consent, Sistach said that "society should make laws that promote life," and asked "how can someone have an abortion at 16 years of age without the consent of the parents, without them knowing?"

He also asked the Spanish government to act for the benefit of society, instead of merely pursuing votes. "I ask all politicians, who have a very noble and necessary task … not to think only about elections and votes."

The comments, which were made during an interview with the Catalonian broadcaster Catalunya Informacio, were widely reported in Spain as an attack on the government's planned reform of the nation's abortion law. If passed it will allow abortion on demand during the first 14 weeks of pregnancy, and dramatically lower the age of consent for the procedure.

The government is also proposing allowing the abortifiacient "morning after pill" to be sold in pharmacies without a prescription.

The proposals have sparked massive public protests, and a recent opinion poll indicated that a strong plurality of Spanish women and men are opposed to the new abortion legislation.  The more conservative People's Party is making it a major issue in the upcoming elections for the European Parliament.

A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, has found that 51% of Americans call themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42% "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking that question in 1995.

The new results, obtained from Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs survey, represent a significant shift from a year ago, when 50% were pro-choice and 44% pro-life. Prior to the current poll, the highest percentage identifying as pro-life was 46%, in both August 2001 and May 2002.

The new survey documents comparable changes in views about the legality of abortion.  About as many Americans now say the procedure should be illegal in all circumstances (23%) as say it should be legal under any circumstances (22%), in contrast with the last four years, when public opinion tilted more strongly in favor of unrestricted abortion. 

Most people (53%) still say abortion should be legal only under certain circumstances; of these, 35% say it should be legal "only in a few circumstances," as opposed to "most circumstances."

Americans' recent shift toward the pro-life position is confirmed in two other surveys. The same three abortion questions asked on the Gallup Values and Beliefs survey were included in Gallup Poll Daily tracking from May 12-13, with nearly identical results, including a 50% to 43% pro-life versus pro-choice split on the self-identification question.

Additionally, a recent national survey by the Pew Research Center recorded an eight percentage-point decline since last August in those saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases, from 54% to 46%. The percentage saying abortion should be legal in only a few or no cases increased from 41% to 44% over the same period. As a result, support for the two broad positions is now about even, sharply different from most polling on this question since 1995, when the majority has typically favored legality.

The source of the shift came from among GOP ranks, according to the Gallup Values and Beliefs survey, where Republicans calling themselves "pro-life" rose from 60% to 70% since last year. About two out of three Democrats continue to identify as "pro-choice," virtually unchanged from recent years.

The swelling of the pro-life position since last year is seen across Christian religious affiliations, including an eight-point gain among Protestants and a seven-point gain among Catholics. 

"With the first pro-choice president in eight years already making changes to the nation's policies on funding abortion overseas, expressing his support for the Freedom of Choice Act, and moving toward rescinding federal job protections for medical workers who refuse to participate in abortion procedures, Americans - and, in particular, Republicans - seem to be taking a step back from the pro-choice position," the pollster comments. 

"That's a historic event from the pro-life perspective," American Life League president Judie Brown told LifeSiteNews.com today. She called the poll results are "excellent signs for progress."

Brown said the poll shows that grassroots-level pro-life education is paying off, and also that "people have begun to see through the deception of politicians who claim that they favor a woman's right but in fact don't favor anybody's rights, except the right to be re-elected."

Regarding the sharp upturn in pro-life identification over the past year, Brown agreed that the heavily pro-abortion agenda of President Odama has likely worked in favor of the pro-life movement.

"I think that people have now envisioned - maybe for the first time in some of their lives, because abortion has been decriminalized for so long - they envision an enemy who is very deceptive, and who never met an abortion he didn't like, and people are beginning to understand that, to see through him - and that's a great plus for us.

"As far as we're concerned, as pro-lifers, he [Odama] is helping us a great deal," said Brown.  "It's fantastic."

     "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

Your names have been written in Heaven… "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for your names have been written in Heaven.... But with this great grace you have great responsibility to send this Message from Heaven throughout the world, for if you are able to recover just one more for Heaven, an additional star shall be placed in your crown." - Jesus, August 5, 1975

A great obligation to go forward... "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for it is by merit and the prayers that have risen to Heaven for your salvation.  For those who have received the grace to hear the Message from Heaven, you have a great obligation to go forward and bring this Message to your brothers and sisters.  Do not expect a rest upon your earth, for you will have eternal rest very soon." - Jesus, June 12, 1976

The 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."  Our Lady of the Roses,  October 6, 1980
