Pope Benedict Warns of 'Aggressive' Anti-Priest Culture in Spain...

These Last Days News - November 8, 2010

"Do not abandon My Son any longer by rejecting His Church. Do not judge My Son's Church by man. The foundation is My Son, Jesus. And though the walls may develop cracks, the foundation is solid. Will you not remain and patch these cracks, My children? We do not wish that you break apart into small groups of discord. No schisms must take place in My Son's Church. For all who are baptized a Roman Catholic must die Roman Catholics to enter Heaven. A rejection of the papacy, a rejection of the Faith because of human reasoning shall not be accepted by the Eternal Father in Heaven. Remain faithful and true forever unto the end.” – Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1979

AFP reported on November 6, 2010:

Pope Benedict XVI warned Saturday of a return to 1930s-style "aggressive" anti-clericism in Spain and urged Europe to embrace God as he embarked on a two-day visit.

Benedict XVI set the tone for his visit even before he landed in Santiago de Compostela, Spain's holiest city, recalling an era when pro-Republicans killed priests and nuns and burned churches.

"Spain saw in the 1930s the birth of a strong and aggressive anti-clericism," the 83-year-old German-born pontiff told reporters aboard the papal plane.

"The clash between faith and modernity is happening again, and it is very strong today."

In a homily at a giant open-air mass in Santiago's cobblestone medieval central square, the pope pleaded for Europe to open itself to God, lamenting as a tragedy a belief on the continent that God is an enemy of freedom.

"Europe must open itself to God, must come to meet Him without fear," he told 7,000 pilgrims who greeted him with cries of "Be-ne-dicto!" before he stepped onto a vast white stage, which had been dressed in a sweeping zigzag of purple flowers.

"Tragically, above all in nineteenth century Europe, the conviction grew that God is somehow man's antagonist and an enemy of his freedom," said the spiritual leader of more than one billion Roman Catholics.

Police spotters with binoculars scanned the crowd from atop the 18th-century building that is the seat of the regional government of Galicia on one side of the square.

The pontiff landed later Barcelona, where he will consecrate Antoni Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia church, a symbol for the pontiff of the sacredness of family.

Thousands waved Vatican flags in yellow and white, crying "Benedicto" and "Viva el Papa" in the square by Barcelona's cathedral, Santa Eulaliam, hoping to see the pope who will spend the night in the Episcopal Palace.

Children and youngsters carried lighted candles.

Benedict XVI is struggling to halt a retreat from the Catholic Church in Europe, where Spain is on the front line of social shifts allowing more access to abortion, fast-track divorce and gay marriage.

Santiago de Compostela, where a sprawling 12th century cathedral holds the purported remains of Saint James the Apostle, was a fitting venue to launch a revival of Christian values.

The eighth-century discovery of the remains of Saint James, later to be known as the Slayer of the Moors, became a symbol to rally Christian Spain, then pinned down by the Muslim Moors to the northern strip of the Iberian peninsula.

In the glittering crypt believed to hold Saint James' remains, the German pope knelt and prayed alone.

Dressed in a white cassock and a crimson cloak and stole, the pontiff then ascended to the central nave and embraced a painted statue of the first century saint clutching a staff.

The pope enjoyed an estactic welcome in the cobbled streets of Santiago de Compostela.

Thousands of pilgrims had lined the 11-kilometre (seven-mile) route from the airport as the papal cavalcade made its way to the centre of the city and its landmark cathedral, pausing at one point to allow the pope to lean forward from a window and kiss several babies carried to him by stewards.

Many cheered and waved flags or threw yellow and white confetti, the colours of the Vatican flag.

The Church was an all-powerful presence in the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, who defeated the Republicans in the Civil War. But after the return to democracy following his death in 1975 came an end to restrictions on politics, behaviour and sexual mores.

Under Zapatero the country has gone much further, allowing gay marriage, speedier divorce and easier access to abortions, to the consternation of the Church.

MUST BE ACCEPTED, FOLLOWED
"Peter was My first Pope and your first Pope, and as all others who followed him, they must be accepted. Be they weak or noble, be they with sanctity or unholiness, they must be accepted and followed....
"I ask you not to judge another. You may counsel, you may give your viewpoints, but no violence must be used. And I do not want schism. I do not want any interference from separated brethren in My Church. They must be brought back. Convert the unbeliever! You must remain united with Rome.
"The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church, for a cleansing will come about and all that is rotten will fall! And My Church shall be restored to its former glory!" - Jesus, June 9, 1979

Our Lady of the Roses 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.

A MESSAGE FOR YOUR VICAR
"My child and My children, do not cast aside this message, for it is most urgent. The War, the great War, will soon come upon you, taking many from the earth.
"I have given to you, My child, a message for your Vicar, and he must act upon it. Should he proceed by following the ways of man, using humanism and modernism to the destruction of souls and My Son's Church, I cannot then any longer hold back the heavy hand of punishment from mankind." - Our Lady, December 7, 1978

CHASTISEMENT SORELY DUE FOR DISOBEDIENCE TO VICAR
"Your world, My child and My children, has not progressed back to the Eternal Father. Should you receive now one chastisement so sorely due to you for your disobedience to Our Vicar? Do you as a nation, do you, all nations of the world, deserve the continuance of the struggle of Our Vicar for your salvation, or shall you, through your own actions, force the hand of the Eternal Father upon you by abandoning you to your sin? Your nation, the United States, and all nations of the earth--none shall escape the fires.” – Our Lady, May 30, 1981

UNITED
"We do not want division within the Church. That will solve nothing. You cannot separate yourself from the Holy Father in Rome!" - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

YOU ACT IN DISOBEDIENCE
"Mankind will go about with their heads in clouds, with itching ears, accepting false doctrines from false teachers. Novelty, experimentation, modernism, humanism! Because you sin and lose the light, you now fall prey to these creations of satan. Have you not been warned before from the Seat of Peter? Oh, no! You cast aside the direction of your Holy Father in the Eternal City of Rome! Evil men of the cross, you act in disobedience to your Vicar.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1977

SUFFER GREATLY
"You will make it known to the world that those whom I have chosen to be shepherds of My flock will suffer greatly in the days ahead." - Jesus, September 7, 1974

BADGE OF HONOR
"A duly ordained priest in the House of God shall not remove his habit. He shall not take the badge of honor of his vocation from him. In doing thus, he subjects his soul to contamination from worldly influence." - Our Lady, March 2 5. 1973

REWARD
"The simple life, My child, is the best for the dedicated. The dedicated, those who have accepted a vocation, must live only as human beings in the world, but must accept the spiritual.... Discipline must be returned to the Orders. Many must now retire from the world that has been given to Satan. Know now, my brothers and sisters of religious orders: you will be mocked, you will be scorned, but you will please the Eternal Father and receive your reward in the Kingdom." - St. Francis of Assisi, May 28, 1975

PRAY FOR THEM
"Remember, My child and My children, no matter how rough the road gets, you will stay within your parish church. And by good example and many prayers you will bring the priesthood back into the light. Many have lost their way because there are so few who pray for them. Remember, My children, to pray for your clergy, for they are human also and subject to error, mistakes, influence, and sometimes, pure evil. Pray for your priests daily, My children." - Our Lady, June 17, 1989

SHINE FORTH
"My child, make it known to Our priests in My Son's houses upon earth, churches, that We want Our priests to shine forth as pure examples of chastity and holiness. They have been misguided in direction by many superiors, who also follow like sheep to the slaughter, the misdirection of their superiors. It is like a wheel turning, My child, with the fire slowly destroying it." - Our Lady, June 18, 1974
