Pope Benedict Cautions Episcopal Conferences Not Erode Bishop's Authority...

"All high priests of My Son's House will live in the spirit and not be concerned with the politics and worldly living. You will make your choice: you will stand with My Son, or you will be of the world." - Our Lady, June 18, 1972

CatholicCulture.org reported on November 15, 2010:

The national bishops’ conference exists to promote collaboration among bishops, not to replace their authority, Pope Benedict XVI said to a visiting group of bishops from Brazil on November 15.

The episcopal conference “must avoid becoming a parallel reality or substituting for the ministry of each individual bishop,” the Pope said. He added that “the counselors and structures of the episcopal conference exist to serve the bishops, not to replace them.” Stressing the duty and authority of each individual bishop within his own diocese, the Pope said that the conference should help each bishop to carry out his work more effectively.

The Pope was meeting with the last in a long series of Brazilian bishops making their ad limina visits to Rome. Brazil has the world's largest Catholic population (over 145 million) and the largest number of dioceses (268); the Brazilian bishops made their ad limina visits in 16 different groups. The Holy Father observed that he had spoken to the first visiting group of Brazilian bishops on their nation’s independence day, and was now addressing the last group on the anniversary of the proclamation of a Brazilian republic.

"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer for your priests, cardinals, bishops, your clergy, for a great test, a delusion has been set amongst them to test their valor, to test their holiness, to test their fidelity to My Son's Church!" - Our Lady, May 23, 197

"The Eternal Father shall chastise those He loves. Shall you be counted among the sheep or the goats, bishops? Strip yourselves of your pride and your arrogance! For pride is a more formidable barrier against sanctity than even outright licentiousness! Pride comes before the fall, and all that is rotten shall fall!" - Jesus, October 2, 1979

The 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:

NIL
"There are so many errors now abounding that it seems almost hopeless to recover those who have lost their faith. Many have left My Church upon earth, and this disagrees with the heavenly plan to save all mankind.
"I become agitated, My child, when speaking of this, because the fault lies mainly with My clergy. The sheep are wandering now, and so few have taken to prayer to save them. The prayer life of the clergy has almost become nil. That means, My child, that they must return to meditation and constant prayer, or much more shall happen to the earth." - Jesus, June 17, 1989

FALSE OBEDIENCE
"Pray for your bishops, your priests, who are under great attack by reason of false obedience." - Our Lady, December 7, 1977

GROSS ERRORS
"Be it known to all men upon earth that the Antichrist has entered now among you. Be it known to Our bishops and cardinals: (I do not include Pope John Paul II at this time, because he is under the domination of his bishops and cardinals.) I look upon My Church at this time, and I find gross errors.
"I tell you now, all bishops and cardinals of the world: My Church shall not be defaced. You shall not defame My name. I will allow this to continue but for a short time. If you do not acknowledge Me properly before the world, I assure you I will not acknowledge you before the Father; and you will not have eternal rest with My Father in Heaven." - Jesus, October 2, 1989

EACH AND EVERY
"As We look and search the world for faithful and true pastors, We find that each and every cardinal and bishop has fallen into the modes of the world now, consisting of advancement in modernism, socialism, communism, and even satanism." - Jesus, May 23, 1979

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 also be mitres." - Our Lady, October 6, 1980

LOVE
"I know those who have the love of Me will do all to rescue My high priests." - Jesus, October 6, 1972

SEMINARIES
"I ask as your Mother that the clergy, bishops in rule, must cleanse their seminaries and places of teaching. All heretics must leave. Discipline must be restored in My Son's Church. You will not compromise My Son's Faith and House. You will not condone sin with permissiveness." - Our Lady, July 25, 1977
