Bishop José Raul Vera López These Last Days News - August 16, 2011

"There will be many mitres in hell. Many priests are on the road to damnation; with them they take others. For this, the lowest pit of the abyss will be eternity! Those entrusted in My Son's House will be held accountable for the fall of young souls. Your rank will be no guarantee of your entrance into the Kingdom. You have betrayed My Son. How dare you sell His House! You have sold My Son's House for the profit of your temporary lifetime!" - Our Lady, July 25, 1972

Mexican Catholic Bishop Leading Two Pro-Abortion ‘Human Rights’ Organizations...

LifeSiteNews reported on August 3, 2011:

Bishop Raul Vera and staff defend decriminalization of abortion in interviews with LifeSiteNews

The Catholic bishop of the Mexican city of Saltillo, José Raul Vera López, heads two organizations that advocate the decriminalization and provision of abortion and protest against pro-life amendments to state constitutions, LifeSiteNews has learned.

However, in an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Bishop Vera López denied the organizations are pro-abortion, insisting that advocating decriminalization is different than supporting abortion itself.

Vera is president of one of the organizations, the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Human Rights Center, based in the state of Chiapas, where he was once a coadjutor bishop. The second organization is the Fray Juan de Larios Human Rights Center, which he personally founded and which is an official organ of his diocese.

The groups have signed various pro-abortion “human rights” declarations and reports, which advocate the depenalization of abortion as well as the guarantee of abortion services by the government. A spokesman for the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Center for Human Rights confirmed to LifeSiteNews in an interview that the group does support both positions.

“We are in favor of the depenalization of abortion because we are against criminalizing women who opt for that,” spokesman Jorge Armando Gomez told LifeSiteNews, who also said that doctors should not be penalized for performing abortions.

“In this sense we say that the government should guarantee the right to health, because quite often abortion is done in Mexico in unhealthy conditions or in hospitals where women aren’t guaranteed a good service.”

“So the government should provide the service in that case?” LifeSiteNews asked.

“Yes, in the framework of the right to health, like with many other services such as births, care for when we get sick, in the same way this action of opting to abort should be done in good conditions and life should not be endangered.”

Gomez claimed that the position of the center is not a pro-abortion position, but rather a position in favor of the “right to health.”

Signatures on pro-abortion “human rights” documents

Among the various pro-abortion declarations supported by the two organizations headed by Bishop Vera López are two similar items published this year which bear their names. One of the reports is sponsored by the pro-abortion “All Rights for Everyone Network” (“Todos los Derechos para Todas y Todos”), an organization that supported the legalization of abortion-on-demand in Mexico City, paid for by the government, which was passed in 2007. Both Bishop López led groups are members of the All Rights for Everyone Network.

The 2011 declarations, entitled “Mexico two years after the Universal Periodic Examination,” and “Access to justice for women who are victims of femicidal violence, sexual violence, disappearances, and the sex trafficking,” complain that “despite the fact that the penal code [of the state of Guanajuato] permits abortion for rape [cases], the state does not provide services of legal interruption of pregnancy” (pp. 22 and 10 respectively). The first declaration also denounces the fact that “the lack of coordination between secretariats of health and public ministers in the states becomes an obstacle to female victims of rape to receive integral attention, as well as the legal interruption of a pregnancy that is the product of rape” (p .22). The second declaration asks the United Nations to initiate an inquiry with the Mexican government “regarding emergency contraception services and the provision of abortion in case in which women who are victimized by rape request it” (p. 13).

A third statement, a declaration issued in 2008 and published in the Guadalajara newspaper Público, opposes a proposed right-to-life amendment to the constitution of the state of Jalisco. The declaration denounces the fact that the initiative “intends to grant the title of rights to the unborn, against what is established by our constitutional system, and to assign an absolute character to such rights, ignoring the protection that the Mexican Constitution awards to the rights of women.” See statement in Spanish original with English translation here.

The names of both Bishop López led organizations appear under the declaration as signatories.

The Bartolomé de las Casas Center has signed several other pro-abortion “human rights” reports in the years preceding Vera’s presidency of the organization, in 2006, 2009, and 2010. However, it appears that none have been retracted since Vera’s appointment and at least one is available on the Center’s website.

Bishop Raul Vera responds

Asked in an exclusive LifeSiteNews interview about the activities of his two “human rights” organizations, Vera insisted that their position in favor of eliminating penalties for abortion was not a “pro-abortion” position, but rather a position in favor of “depenalization” of abortion, which he regards as distinct. Vera called the penalization of abortion “the persecution of people who have abortions.”

“No, no, the penalization…what is debated here in México is the penalization or depenalization of abortion. That’s another thing. The penalization [of abortion] is the persecution of people who have abortions,” Vera told LifeSiteNews.

While acknowledging that abortion is “the murder of a child in the womb of his mother,” Vera claimed that there is a concern regarding penalizing abortion because such laws had been used to imprison indigenous women who had had miscarriages. This concern is not mentioned in the documents signed by the two groups, however.

LifeSiteNews will shortly publish a more extended account of the interview with Bishop Vera, who is currently being investigated by the Vatican for his sponsorship of a homosexual organization whose leadership condones homosexual behavior.

Vatican to Examine Mexican Bishop's Gay Ministry...

CNA reported on August 11, 2011:

Bishop Raul Vera Lopez of Saltillo, Mexico has confirmed that he will meet with the prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Marc Ouellet, at the end of August or early September.

The two will discuss Bishop Vera's support for the San Elredo Community, an organization that embraces homosexuality.

In statements to the Mexican daily Zocalo at the end of July, Bishop Vera said, “There has been a call from the Vatican and I am ready to clear things up … I have to respond to a series of questions that Vatican City has sent me about my work with homosexuals.”

Bishop Vera told the newspaper El Diario de Coahuila that his meeting with Cardinal Ouellet has to do with reports published by ACI Prensa, the Spanish-language sister website of CNA. “This agency has published a bunch of nonsense, and I have been asked to talk about this and I have the right to, I am a bishop of the Church, I work for the Church and I am in communion with the Church.”

He also said it was not the first, nor would it be the last time he has been called by the Vatican.

Bishop Vera said the Vatican inquiry is not “a reprimand but rather a clarification, especially with regards to what this agency has published.”

On two occasions the bishop has refused to grant statements to ACI Prensa, but nonetheless he has accused the agency of distorting his words. CNA and ACI Prensa believe they have merely stated the facts.

The Diario de Coahuila also reported that the San Elredo Community is no longer a part of the Diocese of Saltillo and will now be a separate organization. However, it will continue to promote its usual activities.

The interim coordinator of the group is Fernando Hernandez, who said San Elredo would continue following the diocesan pastoral plan but that it would now begin “a new phase outside the diocese.”

“Your country and many countries of the world stand now in judgment by the Eternal Father for the murders of the unborn. No man shall destroy a creation of the Eternal Father. The spirit of life is breathed at the moment of conception into the body of a living child. At the moment of conception, the soul is placed by the Eternal Father into that child, and no excuses for murder shall be accepted by the Eternal Father.” - Our Lady, June 5, 1976

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:

FALLEN HIERARCHY
"I shall come soon to cleanse My temples, the churches. I shall cast out you who have given yourselves and set upon My Church a stigma of fallen hierarchy. Awaken from your slumber! Recognize the faces of evil about you, My pastors! Shall you please man, or shall you follow the rule of your God? No man shall save you from judgment. No man shall give you your reward. But satan has set on earth men who shall claim you for satan." Jesus, November 20, 1975

NEITHER  CHASTISE  NOR  CONDEMN
"The need for a just Chastisement is pressed upon Heaven by many of the clergy in My Son's House, His Church. I say again unto you that the Red Hat has fallen and the Purple Hat is being misled.
     "Your country and many countries throughout the world have given themselves over to immorality and unnatural vices of homosexuality and the perversion within childhood. Woe unto the man or woman who has taken part in the scandalizing of the young! Better that that being had died in his mother's womb than to scandalize one of the young! Parents, teachers, have you all become insane, selling the bodies of your children?!
     "Red Hats, bishops, you go about earth oppressing the children of God, but you neither chastise nor condemn the evil ones in your House, the Church." Our Lady of the Roses, May 3, 1978

SCATTERING  THE  SHEEP
"Do not scoff at the direction of My Mother. She has directed you and counseled you well. As you sow, so shall you all reap!
     "The sheep shall be separated from the goats, even in My Church. Bishops and cardinals, you will soon be called before Me, and shall you stand before Me and say that your teaching has been pure in My sight? Better that you turn now, while there is time, and restore My Church. For you have scattered the sheep, for as shepherds you have become truly lost in the world, a world now controlled by the forces of hell. By sins of omission shall many of you be forever damned!"  Jesus, October 2, 1979

EVIL  MEN  OF  THE  CROSS
"My children, what manner of abomination is being committed in My Son's House?  Can you not cry with Him, suffer with Him on His way to the cross?  No!  Demons have entered into My Son's House.  They claim the human body to use them to defile My Son's House until evil men of the cross are setting a church up, now, a church of man with no angels guiding them, with no supernatural intervention from Heaven guiding them.  This church of man shall be built on naturalism, modernism, and humanism.
    "I say unto you, O Bishops, you have been looked upon and found wanting by the Eternal Father.  You have attuned yourself with satan.  You are goats!"  Our Lady, April 9, 1977

COME OUT OF DARKNESS!
"Come out of the darkness! The Red Hats have fallen and the Purple Hat is being misled. Cardinal against cardinal, bishop against bishop! All that is rotten shall fall. Blood shall flow in the streets--revolution upon revolution! Do you not know--have you learned nothing from the past history of mankind--that the Father will chastise those He loves? Awaken! You have fallen asleep, Our pastors! You shall not follow as sheep to the slaughter those pastors who have given themselves to satan, those pastors who have sold themselves to the world of satan. Many will sell their souls to get to the head." Our Lady, September 27, 1975

DECEIT
"O My children, Rome is in great danger. There is much deceit throughout the hierarchy. It will be cardinal against cardinal and bishop against bishop, for satan has set himself in their ranks. Prayer is the most powerful force now given in your world to stop the advance of 666. My children, if I could open to you a scene in small measure of the coming Chastisement, I would not have to, as your Mother, beg you to listen and act upon My counsel; you would go to your knees and make your way to My Son in pleading." Our Lady, May 28, 1977

HIERARCHY MUST ACCEPT MESSAGE
"My children, I cannot impress you more with the urgency of going faster forward in the time that is left, forward to save your brothers and sisters. I ask you to approach My priesthood. Bishops and cardinals must now accept all of the Message from Heaven, even though it will bring about controversy among them. For it will be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal. For all that is rotten will fall and must not be retained." Jesus, November 20, 1978

SHEPHERDS  OF  DARKNESS
"What have you gained by your actions, shepherds of darkness? You who deceive and have brought confusion into the hearts of your sheep--shall you go before the Eternal Father and say that your teaching has been pure in His sight? No! I say unto you: you shall be cast aside and join those who have received a just recompense for their deception.
     "The gates of hell are open wide. The pressures of hell force themselves upon the world. They have reached the walls of My churches, but woe to man who will sell out his Faith! I say unto you: Your time grows short. Turn back now from your deception!" Jesus, November 20, 1975

YOU  DECEIVE  NO  ONE
"I send to My clergy, those whom I have given the grace to represent Heaven upon earth, this warning: You must now return to your traditional rites! You must restore My House from its crumbling exterior and rotting interior. You must rebuild what you seek to destroy--NOW!
     "Many who call themselves My chosen ones have set themselves to destroy from within. Your actions have not gone by unnoticed by the Eternal Father. Error, deception, deceit, in the guise of sanctity and piousness! You are unmasked before the Eternal Father. You shall start little by little and repair the foundation, or you shall be within and destroy.
     "I look upon all manner of abominations being committed in My House. Do you think you will go much longer without chastisement? Awaken from your slumber, My clergy! You deceive no one!"  Jesus, November 22, 1975

"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.
