Francis Abruptly Removes Faithful Bishop Who Opposed COVID Vaccine Mandates...

CARDINALS SELLING THEIR SOULS
"The present leaders of My Church in the city of Rome, in your arrogance you have set up My Church without honor, without holiness!  In the name of peace and brotherhood, you have whittled away the foundation.  I am the foundation!  You must now rebuild My Church, for a church in darkness wears a band of death about it.  I say unto you; it is better that there are few with quality than quantity with nothingness.
     "The Red Hats have fallen and the Purple Hats are being misled.  I say unto you, that satan has entered into the Holy City of Rome.
     "You have been warned in the past by the descendants of Peter to guard My Church from humanism, modernism and satanism.  When the world and My Church become as one, know that the end is at hand.  Many of the descendants of Peter, men of knowledge and piety, gave you the reasons for shunning modernism and liberal attitudes.  Many of those wearing the Red Hats have sold their souls to satan to get to the head.”  - Jesus, December 31, 1977

    "There will be an uncanonically elected pope who will cause a great schism, there will be diverse thoughts preached which will cause many, even those in the different orders to doubt, yea, even agree with those heretics which will cause my Order to divide, then will there be such universal dissensions and persecutions that if those days were not shortened even the elect would be lost." - St. Francis of Assisi (The Reign of Antichrist, Fr. R. Gerald Culleton)

LifeSiteNews.com reported on March 9, 2022:

by Raymond Wolfe

Francis has removed outspoken conservative Bishop Daniel Fernández Torres of the Diocese of Arecibo in Puerto Rico without formal proceedings, over allegations of disobedience and lack of collegiality with fellow Puerto Rican bishops.

The Holy See announced that Pope Francis “relieved” the Arecibo bishop from pastoral care of his diocese in a March 9 notice.

Bishop Fernández Torres, 57, a staunch defender of life and family and an opponent of COVID vaccine mandates, protested his removal as “totally unjust” in a statement Wednesday.

The bishop, who led the Diocese of Arecibo for nearly 12 years, noted that Pope Francis’ apostolic delegate to Puerto Rico verbally requested that he resign, but said that he refused to do so, as he “did not want to become an accomplice of a totally unjust action.”

“No process has been made against me,” Bishop Fernández Torres wrote, “nor have I been formally accused of anything, and simply one day the apostolic delegate verbally communicated to me that Rome was asking me to resign.”

“A successor of the apostles is now being replaced without even undertaking what would be a due canonical process to remove a parish priest,” the bishop added.

“I was informed that I had committed no crime but that I supposedly ‘had not been obedient to the pope nor had I been in sufficient communion with my brother bishops of Puerto Rico,’” he said. “It was suggested to me that if I resigned from the diocese I would remain at the service of the Church in case at some time I was needed in some other position; an offer that in fact proves my innocence.”

“However, I did not resign because I did not want to become an accomplice of a totally unjust action and that even now I am reluctant to think that it could happen in our Church.”

“I deeply regret that in the Church where mercy is so much preached, in practice some lack a minimum sense of justice,” he continued. “I express my communion in the Catholic faith, with the Pope and my brothers in the episcopate, despite my perplexity at an incomprehensible arbitrariness.”

The Vatican also summoned Bishop Fernández Torres for a meeting in Rome, he said, but he declined, citing COVID-19. The bishop had resisted sending seminarians to the Interdiocesan Seminary of Puerto Rico, which the Vatican approved in 2020, according to Catholic News Agency.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI initially appointed him as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of San Juan in 2007, before naming him to the Diocese of Arecibo in 2010.

Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Álvaro Corrada del Río, S.J., a retired bishop of Mayagüez, as apostolic administrator of the Arecibo diocese, the Holy See said Wednesday.

Ousted bishop defended conscience rights, Church teaching

Bishop Fernández Torres’ dismissal came after he declined to join a statement issued by Puerto Rico’s six other bishops in August announcing that the faithful would be segregated at Mass based on their COVID-19 vaccination status.

The August letter also imposed a strict vaccine mandate for clergy and Church employees and claimed that “there is no basis” in Catholic teaching to reject compulsory vaccination.

Bishop Fernández Torres had released a separate statement the week before, stressing that Catholics can indeed refuse COVID-19 shots in good conscience. He noted that all available COVID vaccines were produced or tested with cells derived from aborted babies.

“Respect for the conscience of the person is also Catholic doctrine,” the Puerto Rican prelate wrote, citing The Catechism of the Catholic Church. “Conscience, and its freedom, cannot be considered only as a civil right but is something intrinsic to our Catholic faith.”

“We remember that the value and defense of life, as well as the seriousness of the sin of abortion, are part of our religious beliefs as Catholics,” he added. “Therefore, it is possible for a faithful Catholic to have conscientious objection to the alleged mandatory nature of the Covid-19 vaccine.”

The bishop additionally authorized priests in his diocese to sign religious exemption letters for parishioners facing jab requirements. Puerto Rican Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia, a Democrat, had recently issued a series of vaccine mandates targeting hundreds of thousands of workers and students across the island.

Bishop Fernández Torres’ position echoes that of several other Catholic leaders, including the bishops’ conferences of South Dakota and Colorado, and does not contradict the Church’s doctrinal statements on vaccination.

But Pope Francis has aggressively pushed the COVID-19 jabs as a “moral obligation” in recent months and mandated the shots for Vatican priests and employees, the Swiss Guard, and travelers to Vatican City.

Along with his defense of conscience rights, Bishop Fernández Torres has been known for strong stands in support of Catholic teaching on life and the family.

In a March 2021 interview with LifeSiteNews, the bishop slammed a proposed bill in Puerto Rico that would have criminalized “any effort or treatment” to reduce or eliminate same-sex attraction or gender confusion in children, pointing out that many young people begin to identify as homosexual or transgender after sexual abuse. The bill would have effectively outlawed Catholic moral teaching, he warned.

“Is it a crime to be a Christian in Puerto Rico?” the Arecibo bishop wrote in a letter to the Senate of Puerto Rico last year. “Indeed it is when it is intended to impose, under penalty of accusations of ‘institutional abuse,’ that our religious institutions teach something that is intrinsically contrary to faith, biology and human reason.”

Puerto Rican Catholic organization Fieles a la Verdad thanked him in an open letter for his “example of faith, courage and integrity” and “for helping us distinguish between dogmas of faith and indoctrination by the state and false prophets.”

Argentine prelate slams Vatican

At least one prelate has already offered his support to Bishop Fernández Torres. Archbishop Héctor Aguer, Archbishop Emeritus of La Plata in Argentina, published a statement Wednesday praising the ousted bishop’s leadership and blasting the Vatican under Pope Francis for “adhering to the principles of a New World Order.”

“Progressivism imposed by the Holy See advances relentlessly, without caring that it makes victims of men of God whose action leads the Church to flourish,” said Archbishop Aguer. “The bishop of Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Monsignor Daniel Fernández Torres, has been deposed from his diocese for defending conscientious objection, in the face of the ridiculous ‘moral obligation’ to be vaccinated imposed by the Holy See.”

“The current Church is no longer concerned with God, or with Christ’s mandate to evangelize, but only with imposing ‘new paradigms’ and adhering to the principles of a New World Order, alien to natural law and Christian revelation,” he continued. “The case of Monsignor Fernández Torres is a very clear example of how the Church works in reverse of what its mission should be.”

“A couple of years ago I was invited by Bishop Daniel to preach the Spiritual Exercises to the clergy of the diocese. I was then able to see how a particular Church flourishes when its bishop is a man of God, faithful to the great ecclesial Tradition,” he recalled.

“But that does not interest Rome. As never before, Roman centrality is imposed in the name of ‘unity.’ These positions make us yearn for the freedom that the great Popes supported, supporting the episcopate that was committed to the growth of the Church, and the evangelization of those who were still outside of it.”

CURIA
"My children, what I have warned you of the past is developing fast in Rome. The agents of 666 now are in full control of the Curia. O My children, I beg you, as your Mother, to pray and pray for your Vicar. Do much penance and acts of atonement for your bishops. Many shepherds have fallen asleep. Satan has poisoned the minds of many. The doors of the Eternal City of Rome were opened and demons entered to wreak havoc in the House of My Son.”  - Our Lady, June 18, 1977

WAR AMONG YOUR CLERGY
"The Eternal City of Rome shall go through labor pains. The struggle shall lead to blood within the streets. There shall be a war among your clergy. It shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, for 666 has entered upon Rome. I repeat, My children: awaken from your slumber! 666, the forces and agents of satan, have entered upon Rome!”  - Our Lady, July 24, 1976

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.

HIGHEST MITRES
"Do not be misled by the outer clothing of man, for there are many wolves in sheep's clothing, wearing the apparel of rank. Know that many have given themselves to satan.
     "Pray, pray much for those who wear the highest mitres, for they, too, have set themselves onto the road to hell. Your prayers and your acts of sacrifice and those who hear My voice, pray much for the Red Hats that have gone onto the wide road."  - Our Lady, October 2, 1974

HIGHEST PLACES OF THE CHURCH
"We ask that you pray much. Pray for those in the House of God who have lost their way. Many mitres are now going onto the road to perdition. Pray for them, for it is of great sorrow to Our hearts to see a man of God fall from his mission.  
     "Satan has entered into the highest places of the Church.
     "Pray much. I have asked you in the past to help patch the cracks. The bark of Peter flounders.
     "You will stand fast with Our Vicar. Do not allow your hearts, through your ears and human senses, to be misled. The enemies of God send out false interpretations.”  - Our Lady, April 13, 1974

CONTROL OF MANY MAJOR POSITIONS
"Control—you must know, my child, and tell the world that satan has control now of many major positions in the House of God, in the Eternal City of Rome. Traitors surround your Vicar. His sufferings are great.
     "Already they have chosen his successor. But pray, my children, pray much that he does not be removed, for woe to the world! The crucifixion of the Mystical Body of Christ! Woe to mankind!"
     Veronica -  Now Michael is stepping back, and he's now pointing with his spear. He has a spear in his right hand. He's pointing with his spear now, and he's pointing to a cardinal. And he's now writing above his head: "W".
     Now he's going over—I should be able to see him; he's standing right in front of him, and he's pointing to the next cardinal, and he's writing above his head: "A".
     And he's then going to the next one—he's sitting way over at the end, though, and he's writing above his head: "S".
     Now he's coming forward, and he's pointing his spear with disdain at a "V", a big "V". A big "V" now is appearing on the head of, I guess he's a bishop, or archbishop. He's wearing the same kind of a, like a . . . a . . . he's got a biretta-like, one of those little round hats. It's sort of a purplish color. And now above his head is written the letter "V".
     Now Michael is bending forward.
     St. Michael - "They are the initials, my child. You will pray for them, and ask many of earth's children to pray that they come out of the darkness. Their souls wallow in sin. They are blinded, and they are misleading those under their rule.
     "V. does much damage to the Holy Father [Pope Paul VI] by changing his correspondence. V. rewrites his letters. V. censors his mail. He did not, my child, receive the medals you sent to him. He did not receive your correspondence, my child. The Holy Father shall receive his knowledge from Mary, the Queen of Heaven and his Mother."  - St. Michael, August 21, 1974

“SET TO RIGHTS THE DAMAGE”
“I, Michael, guardian of the House of God, give fair warning to all cardinals and bishops in all houses upon earth, churches, that you must set to rights the damage that you have created, the damage that has destroyed many souls.
     "It will be a command of the Father from Heaven that all in authority defrock and excommunicate those under their rule who seek to destroy the Faith as given by the Father from Heaven.
     "Speak, my child; speak now as I have directed you. There is a major law in the Faith of Jesus Christ that none shall enter into secret societies of the Masons. The sons of satan are rulers, known by the name of Freemasons. All who join this heinous..."
     Veronica - Oh! Oh, my goodness! Oh!
     St. Michael - "All who join this secret society will immediately be condemned to the abyss forever.
     "Those in rule will excommunicate and defrock all who enter and make pact with the separated brethren and who will compromise the Faith with the separated brethren.”  - St. Michael, August 21, 1974

TRAVELING ROAD OF FALLEN ANGELS
"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 nature! My word to you is this: Return My House to the rule! A House in darkness will shut its doors. The filth must be cleansed!"  - Jesus, December 6, 1974 

USING RANK TO DESTROY SOULS
"Those who have the highest rank in My Son's House, in the houses throughout your world, are using their rank to destroy many souls. Pray, pray much for them, for they, too, shall burn in the fires of hell.”  - Our Lady, August 14, 1974

CARDINAL AGAINST CARDINAL
“When I am returned to remain guard at the tabernacles, and my name is returned, you will find the people flocking back into the houses of their God. Instead, now I have been locked out and satan has been invited in. His agents fill the seats of the houses of God. The battle will rage with great ferocity in the House of God—bishop against bishop, cardinal against cardinal, until the score has been settled in favor of the Eternal Father, your Creator.”  - St. Michael, August 21, 1974
