Bishops’ Ban on Sacraments During Pandemic Violates Church Law, Priests Can Disobey Says Canonist...
HOLINESS MUST BE RETURNED
"My children, you must join your
hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of My Son. It is an expression of love,
gratitude, and respect. Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned
to My Son's houses, churches throughout the world--reverence, holiness, and
respect from the beginning to the end of the Sacred Service.
"Women
must keep their heads covered, My child. It is not because of fashion or
modes; it is because the Eternal Father and the angels demand proper
deportment during the Holy Sacrifice. It offends the heart of My Son much to
see that satan has taken away so much piety and holiness in His churches
throughout the world." - Our Lady, September 6, 1975
CONSTANTLY
"My child
and My children, pray constantly a vigil of prayer going throughout your
world and the earth, for the little time that is being allotted to
mankind." - Jesus, August 21, 1985
GREAT COURAGED NEEDED
"Great courage will be needed in the days
ahead. You will pray much, and the Father will counsel you on your next
recourse. Spread the message, My child, with great haste.
"Did I not
warn you that the agents of darkness would try to stop the truth? Have no
fear, My child. It is not man that you should fear. Man has lost his way; he
is in deep darkness. Darkness has entered into the hearts of many. Many in
My Son's House now have gone down the road to darkness. Pray for them, My
child. Do not castigate them in any way, but pray that they may be given the
light." - Our Lady, November 1, 1973

Catholic bishops issuing blanket bans on the faithful receiving the sacraments as a response to the coronavirus pandemic is a violation of canon law, and a priest can in good conscience disregard such directives, according to an American canonist.
In fact, a priest is obliged to do so, says Philip Gray, the president of St. Joseph’s Foundation, which advises on canon law, and director of Catholics United for the Faith (CUF).
“If the priest believes in his conscience — because primacy of conscience is a matter — if the priest believes there is a violation of divine law by the bishop’s directive, he has an obligation to the divine law,” Gray told LifeSiteNews.
“We’re talking about the life and death of the soul.”
Gray’s response was echoed by Bishop Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana, Kazakhstan, who told the traditional Catholic newspaper The Remnant that a priest, using discretion and following the necessary health precautions “has not to obey the directives of his bishop or the government to suspend Mass for the faithful.”
“If a priest observes in a reasonable manner all the necessary health precautions and uses discretion, he has not to obey the directives of his bishop or the government to suspend Mass for the faithful. Such directives are a pure human law; however, the supreme law in the Church is the salvation of souls. Priests in such a situation have to be extremely creative in order to provide for the faithful, even for a small group, the celebration of Holy Mass and the reception of the sacraments. Such was the pastoral behavior of all confessor and martyr priests in the time of persecution,” he said.
And Cardinal Raymond Burke equally criticized the suspension of public Masses.
“Even as we have found a way to provide for food and medicine and other necessities of life during a time of contagion, without irresponsibly risking the spread of the contagion, so, in a similar way, we can find a way to provide for the necessities of our spiritual life,” the American cardinal said in a March 21 statement.
Gray told LifeSiteNews that Catholic bishops are wrong to cancel public Masses and scheduled confessions in response to the coronavirus pandemic, an argument he expands on in the current issue Christifidelis, the newsletter of the St. Joseph Foundation.
Under canon law, baptized Catholics “have a right to receive the sacraments if they ask for it at an appropriate time, and are properly disposed, and it’s the minister of the sacrament who makes that determination,” Gray told LifeSiteNews.
“It’s not appropriate for a bishop to put blanket prohibitions on the use of the sacraments.”
Rather, bishops “should be collaborating with their priests instead of issuing prohibitions against the sacraments; they should be setting guidelines for the priests to work with,” he said.
“I’m not saying that people should gather 500 at a time and be crushed in like sardines in a church,” Gray noted.
“What I’m saying is that there are reasonable measures that a bishop can put in place to allow all the sacraments to continue. That is what Christ would expect of us. These are the ordinary means of salvation.”
However, as the pandemic continues, the vast majority of American dioceses have canceled all public Masses, and some bishops have gone so far as to ban confession, baptism, and even last rites.
Notably, Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark suspended confession except in “extreme emergency” — as well as locking all chapels and churches — and Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago has ordered a moratorium on baptisms.
Catholic blogger Fr. Zuhlsdorf reported Friday that another bishop ordered confession “be suspended except for those in danger of death,” and that “all other means of providing the Sacrament” should “cease” -- particularly drive-through confessions.
More recently, Bishop Mitchell Rozanski of Springfield, Massachusetts, told his priests in a March 27 message that the sacrament of last rites is “suspended” in the diocese, according to Catholic News Service.
When it comes to confession, prelates will “want to argue this is not a reasonable time” to ask for confession, “but there’s absolutely no health guidelines in the United States that would prohibit the exercise of regular confessions,” Gray told LifeSiteNews.
Catholics hold that the priest has the power to forgive all sins, acting as God’s instrument of mercy. Confession is integral to Catholic life since it cleanses one from deadly sins that would otherwise cut one off from God and the Kingdom of heaven.
For bishops to suspend this sacrament except in danger of physical death is “insane,” because “that’s placing the soul under the body, and that is a danger of death,” Gray said.
“And if they’re going to say we’re concerned that we’re going to spread death, they are spreading death.”
The Church also teaches that mortal sin can be forgiven by an act of perfect contrition, which is inspired by love of God and sorrow at offending Him, not fear of hell -- and that the person must go to sacramental confession at the first opportunity.
But most Catholics in mortal sin don’t understand what perfect contrition means, and “what goes through their mind is to go to confession, so they’re going to go knock on a priest’s door or show up for confession,” Gray said.
He pointed to the Vatican’s March 20 note on providing this sacrament during the pandemic, which said bishops must provide guidelines for priests on implementing appropriate safeguards for hearing confessions.
Bishop Jeffrey Monforton of Steubenville, where regularly scheduled confessions continue, is exemplary in this regard, said Gray.
Monforton “put out clear guidelines to make confessions safe and reasonable and fall within the bounds of what the health officials are telling us to do. And people still show up, and line up to go to confession every time.”
Another case in point is Ave Maria Parish in Florida, where the priest, with the blessing of his bishop, devised a way to distribute Holy Communion after Mass to all parishioners.
“It is unprecedented that in a time of crisis, so many bishops are choosing to close churches when they do not have to; or prohibit the exercise of sacraments without coercion from secular laws,” Gray noted in his article.
“My biggest concern is that the church authorities in North America are putting greater restrictions on the distribution of the sacraments than the civil authorities are,” Gray told LifeSiteNews.
Moreover, under the First Amendment “many of the mass gathering laws or regulations that are being put out by health officials do not apply in churches in the United States,” he observed.
“It is unprecedented that in a time of crisis, so many bishops are choosing to close churches when they do not have to; or prohibit the exercise of sacraments without coercion from secular laws,” Gray wrote in Christifidelis.“It doesn’t have to be this way.”
He urged Catholics to look to the example of Japanese Catholics, who kept the faith without the sacraments for 250 years, principally through praying the Rosary, and to “not let this crisis distort your participation in God’s plan” but to respond in love.
“Let us join this suffering to the Cross of Jesus Christ and make it redemptive,” he wrote.
TOO LITTLE HOLINESS
"I have warned you to protect your
households and your children from the evil forces that now have cast a dark
shadow upon mankind and the world. There are doctrines of demons being
expounded by human beings who knowingly or unknowingly have become tools of
satan. The saddest knowledge that I have received is that My Son is being
defamed even by His own, His own teachers, those who have given themselves
over to the world and have allowed Our sheep to go straying.
"I have
asked you all not to abandon My Son's Church, but to remain: set an example
of prayer and holiness. There is too little holiness now in My Son's Church,
and in other denominations upon the earth.
"Those who have little
knowledge of the Book of life and love, the Bible, will fall easy prey to
false witnesses who go about the world now, deceiving even some of the
elect. You must read your Bible so that you will not be deluded by the
written word. The Bible cannot be taken as sectional or piece by piece, but
you must know the whole, for satan has poisoned many minds. And satan, too,
can expound the Scriptures." - Our Lady, May 26, 1979
SAVED
"Many souls that would otherwise fall into hell and
eternal damnation have been saved because of the thousands of prayers that
have been rising to Heaven for their salvation. Only, My children, in the
time of your great reward in Heaven will you understand fully how great was
your mission upon earth." - Jesus, October 6, 1976
WARRlORS
"You just
remember, My children, to call on Michael and the angels, whom man has
deemed to cast aside. Yes, this guardian you will need. We have placed them
at your sides; call on them. We are all waiting and watching. No one will be
lost if they call on them, Our warriors."
- Our Lady, May 30, 1971
MERITS
"You will come
across the veil with nothing but the merits of love and prayer."
- Jesus,
March 18, 1978

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:
COURAGE AND PERSEVERANCE
"Now, My child, I give you My peace in courage and perseverance. The strength will be given to you to continue your mission, but know that the battle rages now for souls. Satan will send great forces against you and all who work for My Mother. But know now that Her voice will not be stilled throughout the world, for We will rise up great enemies against these forces of satan. As they seek to send enemies among you, We shall crush them." - Jesus, October 2, 1974COURAGE TO STAND FORWARD
"I bless you, My child, and this cross discarded with sorrow in Our hearts. It will bring immeasurable joy to your heart. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
"Now, My child, you shall have two crosses, but this one you will take with you, so you will always be close to My sacred grounds. Many graces have been given for the return to the Sacraments of Our wandering sheep. Bless them, My child, on every occasion with this crucifix. A holy priest once held it, and he will be returned to the flock when he receives the courage of his convictions to stand forward as a true shepherd." - Our Lady, November 1, 1975"RETURN TO A LIFE OF PRAYER"
"Clergy, bishops, cardinals in My House, return to a life of prayer. Take yourselves out of the world. You have become seekers of pleasure, pleasures of the flesh. My children and My shepherds, you will all be judged, and shall I find you wanting?
"My Mother has promised to be with you as I am with you unto the end of time.
"There will be many trials set upon the world. And if you retain your sacramentals and keep your faith, you will go through these times with great courage and perseverance. I repeat: Many shall wash themselves clean in the Blood of the Lamb." - Jesus, July 25, 1977MORE
"If you pray more, you will learn to love prayer. It will become a way of life that you cannot turn from, for it will give you something that you have never found in the world." - St. Theresa, May 17, 1975SUNDAY HOLY HOUR
"I wish that there be held on these sacred grounds an hour of reparation on the Day of the Lord. This hour will be for your Vicar and the fallen hierarchy in the House of God. This hour will also be in atonement for the discard of the holy Day of God." - Our Lady, September 14, 1972SAINTS
"The power of prayer has made saints from sinners." - Our Lady, October 2, 1972CHILDREN
"In order for your children to be saved, My parents, you must keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your home, and those homes of your immediate families. One good example can save a dozen, My children." - Our Lady, October 5, 1985SOUL MEDITATION
"My children, We are always with you, but you must think your way to Us. This may be confusing at first, but really quite simple; for prayer is a form of soul meditation through the thinking process. What you hear within is the Spirit within." - Our Lady, October 6, 1970UNLESS
"Unless you pray, you will be lost." - St. Thomas, November 24, 1973UNANSWERED
"Your prayers will not go unanswered. Ask, and you shall receive; seek and you shall find the way. Believe and you will be given the way." - Jesus, October 6, 1979WEAPON
"Pray, for prayer is the greatest weapon given to you now to remove this evil from among you." - Our Lady, September 7, 1974ACTION
"Pray, but act also, for prayers without action is like placing a mess of meat on a dead man's grave." - Jesus, August 5, 1978OPEN UP
"They do not always have to be written words, but pray from your heart; open up your heart to My Son." - Our Lady, November 20, 1976SPEAK ONCE
"Speak once, and if not hastened or listened to, speak no more, but pray that the Eternal Father in Heaven will open up the ears of those who have closed their hearts and their ears to the truth." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979WOMEN
"The angels command respect to My Son. You [women] will cover your heads when you pray." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974BEGIN AND END

"The prayers of others can reach out and give this strength to the weak." - Our Lady, March 24, 1972INVASION
"O My children, prayer and penance is the major, now, blockade against invasion." - Our Lady, March 15, 1978CHASTISEMENT
"The coming Chastisement will be lessened in your area if you will follow the direction I have given you from Heaven: a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady, April 22, 1973DAILY
"You must all now keep a constant vigilance of prayer. And when I say constant, My children, it means daily." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978MY GOD
My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee. I beg pardon for all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love Thee. - Veronica, October 6, 1976SUCCOR
"When you become ill, be it physical, mental, or sorrowfully in your heart, you will say, 'My Jesus, my confidence!' And I will truly succor you." - Our Lady, September 7, 1985

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!

On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well.
