The real moral panic: homosexuality in the priesthood...

"I will not stand for My priests who condone homosexuality and allow it in My priesthood! .... I will not stand by and allow My priesthood to be destroyed!" - Jesus, June 18, 1982

The problem is not pedophilia...
The John Jay College has also released their survey, requested by the USCCB's National Review Board, on the sexual abuse of minors by Catholic clergy, revealing that 4% of all Catholic priests have, for the past 52 years, been found to abuse children. The study further states that 80-90% of these priests had sodomy or perverted sex with adolescent boys (ephebophilia), not prepubescent boys (pedophilia). Penn State Professor of History and Religion, Phil Jenkins, a non-Catholic and non-lover of Catholicism, states in his book "Pedophiles and Priests" that it is less than 2% of Catholic priests who are pedophiles. The real problem is consensual sex between priests with other priests or adult males. Donald Cozzens, the rector of one of the largest U.S. seminaries, St. Mary's in Cleveland, Ohio, writes that the problem is homosexuality instead of pedophilia, and that at least 40% of Catholic priests suffer from this evil disorder. Is this not one of the reasons why our pulpits are mostly silent on the immense number of infallible Church teachings on life of the unborn and the disabled, on chastity, on homosexuality, adultery, fornication, contraception? Has the Catholic Priesthood long been a 'Gay Profession' and are these priests causing the loss of faith in millions?

Some argue that if a seminarian is a 'virginal homosexual,' he can be admitted to the seminary. However, even a virginal sodomite seminarian (one who has not acted out his objectively disordered inclination) cannot be admitted to the seminary. He is still a homosexual, he is just a virginal homosexual.

A person must overcome the inclination toward homosexuality, "this inclination which is objectively disordered" (CCC §2358), before he can safely be admitted to the seminary. A weak temptation is still a temptation, an inclination, a disorder. We must not take people with personality disorders into the seminary. The homosexual (virginal and non virginal) seminarian will always be tempted, his ministry always be hampered (especially in the confessional) because of his grave disorder. This person could not advise heterosexual young men and women about the dangers of immodesty, the sinfulness of masturbation, lust, pornography, prostitution, rape. A man must have a true inclination toward women to be a healthy candidate for a vow of chastity or celibacy in the priesthood.

To the celibate heterosexual male who is truly called to the priesthood, the homosexual seminarian, virginal and non virginal, is a pox, a detriment, an antithesis. The heterosexual seminarian gives up all the joys of marriage, children, grandchildren, the conjugal love of the beautiful woman; the homosexual seminarian, virginal and non virginal, gives up none of these good gifts.

One of the most divulging news reports appeared in The New York Times in February, 2002. It was revealed that Pope John Paul II's spokesman told the world that homosexual men were not fit for the ordained priesthood. Dr. Joaquin Navarro-Valls, a Spanish psychiatrist, when questioned whether ordinations of gays were even valid, said "People with these inclinations just cannot be ordained. That does not imply final judgment on people with homosexuality, but you cannot be in the field (priesthood)." No one at the Vatican appeared to support Navarro-Valls' statement. However, Canon Law does support his statement, saying that men with impediments or irregularities, including psychic disorders, are unqualified and are prevented from receiving Holy Orders (c.1040, 1041)

Homosexuals (virginal or non virginal) cannot be ordained to the priesthood. God does not call objectively disordered men to the priesthood. Why do some theologians find it so 'harsh' to eliminate the virginal and non virginal homosexual? We eliminate others who are equally unsuitable (women cannot be ordained to the priesthood), why not the homosexual who is most dangerous to the souls of his flock?

"I am your God, and I say unto you: continue to change My Church and you will fall! You will build a secular church, bringing in all--even heretics, even homosexuals. All aberrations condemned by the Eternal Father, you will permit in the name of humanism. Nay, no! I say unto you as your God. You will be given a short reign, for I consider you then an abomination, and as such you will be removed." - Jesus, May 23, 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:

ADMIT THERE HAS BEEN ERROR
"I ask you as your God to cast away your pride. Admit there has been error. Listen to your Vicar who stated that the smoke of satan had entered My Church.... You are blinded, My hierarchy. You seek to bring all into My Church, but this must be by conversion. You are allowing all manner of heretics and the antichrist forces to enter among you. You are being deceived. Awaken from your slumber." Jesus, September 28, 1978

PRIESTS UNDERMINING CHURCH
"We see a church of man being built, a church that has no angels guiding it, a church that is made, as the true Church of My Son is being chipped away at, undermined by My Son's own priests! How dare you debase My Son's heritage by allowing all evil to be condoned in His Church!
     "You men who are formerly of the light an have given yourselves to the darkness, you condone this foul act of homosexuality. And why? As satan inspires you and directs you, you go about looking for excuses for sin! You condone it with permissiveness! You have taken the direction and the Commandments of your God and you re-evaluate! You take them to your scholars who have heads of fog, and in your masterly, worldly way, you delude those of less learning to believe, because of your high-sounding words and theses, and all manner of scholarly knowledge; you delude those who do not have the God-given knowledge to believe your rot! You even deny the truth of what the Eternal Father did to Sodom and Gomorrah for the sin of homosexuality.
     "You who cry love your neighbor, do not twist the truth and say that Sodom and Gomorrah fell because they were inhospitable! Oh, no! I say unto you: hospitality had nothing at all to do with this. It was a manner of degrading, debased sin, using a creation of the Father for vile acts, animal acts, and far worse until your filth and pollution has entered into the minds and souls of the young! You defilers of mankind, the skin shall burn off of your bones soon!" Our Lady of the Roses, April 2, 1977

A MASS SAID BY A FALLEN PRIEST IS VALID
"Yes, My child, Jesus is always present in His House. The Holy Sacrifice of His Mass is always valid when performed by a duly ordained priest, no matter what his human character is. At the time at the Consecration the Father sends the Holy Spirit down to use this human being, known as your High Priest, to bring to you the Body and the Blood, spiritual and physical, of My Son to you." Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1973

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 also be mitres." Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1980

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 of the Roses, July 25, 1977

HOMOSEXUALITY IN PRIESTHOOD
"I will not stand for My priests who condone homosexuality and allow it in My priesthood! I will not stand for My priests who allow the murder of the unborn with their permissiveness! I will not stand by and allow My priesthood to be destroyed!" Jesus, June 18, 1982

SHALL NOT ESCAPE PUNISHMENT
"Cardinals, bishops, awaken from your slumber! A heavy hand shall be placed upon the world, and you shall not escape punishment for the loss of even a single soul to Heaven!
     "Woe, woe, woe to the man who is responsible for the destruction of a young soul! My children, it would be better if that man had not emerged from his mother's womb, or a millstone had been tied about his neck and cast into the sea, before he committed his foul deeds." Jesus, November 21, 1977

HELL
"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 of the Roses, July 25, 1972

FALLEN BISHOPS
"Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice. Pride and arrogance is bringing down into hell mitres from My Son's House." Our Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1981

"THE FILTH MUST BE CLEANSED"
"I give you, the world, a fair and just warning from the Most High God of Heaven and earth! To all of Our bishops and cardinals--awaken from your sleep! This warning is given so that you will have time to make amends! You are burrowing like rats into the foundation of My House! In your quest to improve you are destroying My House! In your arrogance, you are traveling the road of the fallen angels! Modernization--you shall not change to please human nature! You will bring man to his God through discipline! The rules have been given to you, set down very clearly in the Book of life, the Bible. You will not change the words to suit your fallen natures! My word to you is this: return My House to a state of holiness! Discipline your fallen human nature! Return to the rule! A House in darkness will shut its doors! The filth must be cleansed!" Jesus, December 6, 1974

PASTORS HELD RESPONSIBLE
"We hold the pastors of My Son's House, We hold them as being responsible for the fall of the children. Be ye warned now, My children, that woe to the man who has this responsibility upon his conscience and his soul. Scandals have been brought into the lives of your children. Perversion, homosexuality, immorality, perverted sex, My children-where shall you stop but at the abyss!" Our Lady of the Roses, December 7, 1977

AN ABOMINATION
"Man shall not condone evil or rationalize sin. Homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God and man! The Creator condemns those who do not repent of this sin." Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1977

Please pray much for the priests...
Since the early 1970's, Our Lady of the Roses Shrine has held a Holy Hour for the clergy every Sunday morning from 10:30am till noon, outside in rain or snow all year long. Will you join us each Sunday at this time in prayer to save our priests?

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
    "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. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , https://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now! (Order Form) Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it.
    Read the Bible cover to cover. If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days. I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time. A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times. Wow!

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
