The False Accusation of Idolatry Leveled Against Catholics...

"My child and My children, you are all My children.  I judge you not by color or race, and I do not judge you by your creed; however, should the knowledge of the One True Church be given to you, and the way to Heaven along the narrow road be given to you, you will follow it or you will be rejected." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985

"O My children, pray much! We do not want to see a division in My Son's House. The Roman Catholic Church must remain one! But this does not mean, as the church of man states, that you will bring all manner of heretics and separated brethren in. No, My children, that is an error, a delusion from satan. You cannot change My Son's House and bring them in and change for them! They must change and come back to the original rule given by My Son and those who were with Him in the building of the foundation.
     "I repeat, My child and My children: separated brethren must change. They have protested in the past; they have taken themselves away from the truth and the one true Church. They must reject the errors they have made in the past and come back and start again. They cannot bring their errors into My Son's House."

Accusations of idolatry

I have always been perplexed by Protestants accusing Catholics of idolatry. When Catholics such as myself try to explain to them that this is not true, that no Catholic worships Mary, the saints, or statues, the explanation is often not accepted. Why is this? Is there no room for correction in some Protestants, when they are truly ignorant of Catholic teaching?

The unicorn of a "Catholic" worshiping Mary, the saints or statues I have never found, in my over 50+ years of being a Catholic. And even if I were to find such a deluded person, he would either be crazy or not a true Catholic at all, because the Catholic Church clearly teaches that worship is due to God alone.

We know from the book of Exodus that God commanded the creation of two golden cherubim in the design of the Ark of the Covenant:

"And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee. Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half. Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle. Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other. Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle: and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered." (Exodus 25: 16-20)

Clearly, God does not forbid the creation of religious images. As Our Lady of the Roses has explained,

Do not discard the monuments, your statues. Do not fall into the fallacy promoted by many that you must cast them aside as being worshippers of idols. O My children, you do salute your flag; you do build in bronze and stone the figures of those who had prominence in your world, so why cannot you build in bronze and stone the images of the personages of Heaven?” (Our Lady, December 7, 1976)

So how does such a false accusation of idol worship (regarding religious images and statues) persist throughout the Protestant denominations? It would be so easily debunked, if Protestants merely took the time to research the issue and query Catholics themselves. But I am afraid that this may be the heart of the issue: Many Protestants do not want to investigate because if they were to discover that their accusations were false, they would be bound to stop perpetuating such lies. Furthermore, if Protestantism is built upon a foundation of false accusations against the Catholic Church (to rationalize the existence of these Protestant denominations), then once a Protestant became properly educated, he would see that the Catholic Church is historically, doctrinally and factually the only Church founded by Jesus Christ.

At that point, he would be bound to renounce the errors of Protestantism, and embrace the Catholic Church.

Without humility, how can we truly love the truth? "And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying" (2 Thess. 2: 10)

If we remain obstinate in our own false opinions and do not seek counsel, we cannot enter through the narrow gate which is Christ and His holy Catholic Church.

"Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber." (John 10:11)

In the book of Exodus, God tested the Israelites "that I may prove them whether they will walk in My law, or not." (Exodus 16: 4) In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were tested, with a test of obedience.

As Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." (John 14:15)

A lack of faith in the very promise of Jesus

Essentially, Protestantism rests on the sand that Jesus' promise the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church is false, that Jesus could not keep His promise, or lied (Matthew 16:18). In either case, such a position would be implicitly blasphemous.

Under the false belief or pretense that the Catholic Church "failed," proud men made a new foundation in order to "save" the Church (15 centuries after Jesus established the Catholic Church), which they believed had failed. But these new man-made foundations amputated doctrines taught by Christ and His apostles.

"For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus." (1 Corinthians 3:11)

The devil always seeks to counterfeit the works of God, and substitute what is false in the place of what is true and holy.

The great need for the Church's teaching authority

In light of our ignorance and sinful nature, God has provided us with a teaching authority to convey to us Christ's infallible doctrinal and moral teachings.

The sheer number of Protestant denominations indicate that there is not a teaching authority among them, as these denominations multiply and contradict each other (read more).

In the end, each person ends up being their own teaching authority, picking and choosing their own interpretations in the Bible.

If all were truly following Christ alone, there would be only one Church.

"Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables." (2 Tim. 4: 2-4)

The unwillingness to "endure sound doctrine" is not only a failing of the Protestants, but of liberal Catholics themselves who live out of their heads and become "cafeteria Catholics", picking and choosing only what teachings they like.

In essence, that is what Protestantism is, a "cafeteria" style belief system where each individual picks and chooses what they want to believe. It is a man-made belief system that gives free reign to sinful pride and personal ignorance.

That is why Matthew 16:18 (Jesus founds His Church on St. Peter), John chapter 6 (the doctrine of the Eucharist), James 2: 18 (faith and works - Martin Luther called the book of James an "epistle of straw") and many other Bible verses are twisted or ignored because Protestantism is not truly based on the Bible, but on the cafeteria-style picking and choosing of the Bible, a man-based religion where everyone is his own guide. Jesus' own words are contradicted by the Protestants. Is this not a form of self idolatry, elevating our own fallible opinions above the instructions of God Himself? In this belief system, each individual makes himself the ultimate criterion of truth. It is a house built on sand.

Protestantism is filled with contradictions. It professes a love for the Bible but then proceeds to remove seven books from the Bible and oppose 15 centuries of Catholic Christianity that preceded it. So the claim of loving the Bible rings hollow. If they truly loved the Bible, they would not have removed books from it.

The Catholic Church is a divine institution; the soul of the Church is God Himself and it cannot be destroyed. As Reformed theologian R. C. Sproul honestly admits, the Protestant position can at best claim “a fallible collection of infallible books” (Essential Truths of the Christian Faith [Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House, 1992], 22).

To maintain their existence, Protestant denominations must continue to propagate a laundry list of lies against the Catholic Church, in order to rationalize their existence. That is why the historical fact that the Catholic Church dating back to Christ is ignored or gaslighted. That is why the Fathers of the Church discussing the Eucharist, the Mass, Our Lady and many other Catholic doctrines are overlooked, ignored and/or denied.

Protestantism cannot exist in sunlight; it cannot stand against the truth of history.

A self-serving bias, an anti-Catholic bias

The existence of scandal and evil within the Catholic Church is not contested. The Church is made up of sinners. In the Garden of Olives, one disciple betrayed Him and the 11 others fled. But to reject the Church because of the weaknesses of men and scandals is to reject Christ, because He promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church (Matthew 16: 18).

The presence of scandals indicate what happens when people reject the Commandments and the path of the Gospel. Why is there not a Protestant focus on what is true and good about the Catholic Church, to provide a balanced view? How about discussing the numerous Eucharistic miracles, the numerous miracles at Marian shrines throughout the world, saints who raised people from the dead (read more), miracles worked by saints in our lifetime such as Gemma Di Giorgi's cure of blindness by the intercession of Padre Pio (watch video), the incorrupt bodies of saints that have not decayed over centuries (such as St. Bernadette), and the good works of many Catholic missionaries and lay people throughout the centuries?

To focus only on bad and apostate Catholics who rejected their faith is not an honest argument against the Church.

As Bishop Fulton Sheen has explained, there are millions who hate the Catholic Church, in their ignorance (watch video).

Do your homework

I have a few suggestions for Protestants who would like to learn more about the Catholic Church:

1) Study the Fathers of the Church in the first centuries. Find what they wrote about the Eucharistthe Mass, the Blessed Virgin Mary; and the papacy;

2) Examine the writings of the Catholic saints such as St. Francis of Assisi, St. Augustine, Padre Pio, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Theresa of Lisieux and others. These saints are holy Catholics who obediently and heroically followed Christ. You have heard enough about the bad Catholics who have denied their Catholic faith. Balance your view of the Catholic Church by reading about the faithful ones.

3) Visit some Catholic cathedrals and breathe in the spirit of Catholicism, one of the great visible testaments to the faith of past ages.

4) Spend some time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, the holy Eucharist: Catholics believe the words of Christ, that He is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament which is reserved in the Catholic tabernacles of the world. Pray to Jesus there and feel His presence and His peace.

5) Objectively study what the Catholic Church teaches, and why its teaching differs from Protestantism (watch video). 10 Differences between Catholics and Protestants (Dr. Taylor Marshall)

Charity and humility

It is a mystery of grace, how atheists and pagans can be moved by God's miracles and convert to the Catholic Faith, and yet some who profess the name of Christian can deny these same miracles of God. Jesus' warning to the Pharisees, how the prostitutes and tax collectors were entering Heaven before them, is especially relevant here (Matthew 21: 31).

Never despair or lose hope in the conversion of Protestants, but remember the zeal of past Catholic saints who gave their lives to convert them from error to the fullness of Catholic truth. In the words of St. Edmund Campion who preached the Gospel to the English Protestants, he vowed "either to win you heaven, or to die upon your pikes."

But in all discussions, we must have charity and humility for our separated brethren, many of whom will become much better Catholics than us when they finally convert.

Do we wish to win an argument, or share the greatest gift in the world, our Catholic Faith? We should all eagerly hope and pray that they return to their Catholic home.

"You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1978

CATHOLIC CHURCH ONLY TRUE RELIGION
"O My children, I will not go into a long discourse now with you about charity and love for your neighbor, but you must understand: you cannot judge your neighbor. You must pray for them. However, you cannot become weak and permissive. You must stand forth as bearers of the light, carriers of the truth. You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind."

Four marks of the True Church: One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic...

The following is taken from the booklet, "Faith and common sense", + Imprimatur: Most Reverend John F. Whealon, Archbishop of Hartford:

     After Christ left this world, His Church did spring into action, fully prepared to carry on His work. This Church was not something vague in character. Christ said precisely what He wanted it to be. His Church was to be built upon the Apostles. It would continue down to the end of time in the same way, ruled by the successors of the Apostles. That is perhaps the clearest thing of all.
     He also intended it to be one Church, not a number of churches. The Church He had in mind was to be for all men. It would work for their sanctification and salvation. These qualities were so clearly built into the Church that they were marks setting off the true Church of Christ from all other institutions claiming the name. Catholics say that these marks are unity, catholicity, holiness and apostolicity.
     When we examine the early Church as it appears in the time of the Apostles, we find that it had all these qualities. One Church and only one is in existence today which clearly shows the same four marks. This is the Catholic Church.
     Around the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome are inscribed the words, “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church.” Those words are as true of the present Pope as they were of St. Peter. The Pope is the successor of Peter, and he has the same authority as the Prince of the Apostles once had.
     That is a truth which can be amply proved by the facts. No other religious society can trace its heritage back through the centuries to St. Peter.
     Pope Paul VI, the present Bishop of Rome [Note: Paul VI was Pope at the time this article was written], is a successor of St. Peter. Year by year the succession can be traced back to the time of the great Apostle himself. Some of the Popes lived for only a few years or months; some have had very long terms of office. Some of them have been great leaders in world affairs; some relatively obscure. But they are all known to history.
     Today in the Catholic Church the Pope holds the fullness of power the same as Peter did in the early Church. He is not like a democratically-elected president whose power depends on the consent of the governed. Like Peter he has been made the shepherd of the flock by the Lord, and he has the same absolute power as Peter.
     Under him in the administration of the Church are the Bishops and priests. Their power comes from God, as once the power of the Twelve came from Christ. St. Paul said to the presbyters of Ephesus, “Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as bishops to rule the Church of God” (Acts 20:28).
     There is no doubt that the Catholic Church today is apostolic in the line of succession of its Bishops and the Pope, and that it possesses an authority which was once given to the Apostles.

UNITY OF RULE, BELIEF, RITUAL
     St. Paul told the Ephesians to remember that they had “one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism” (Eph. 4:5). The Catholic Church does have that unity of rule, belief and ritual.
     All Catholics everywhere recognize the authority of the Pope, the Vicar of Christ. He is the representative of the Lord, and presents the final judgments or decision on matters of faith and morals. Catholics do not accept the official pronouncements of the Pope only when they agree with them. They accept them at all times because they recognize his authority.
     All Catholics believe the same faith. There is no difference in the essential doctrines which various priests teach. One Bishop does not have his own truths about religion which are different from the beliefs of another Bishop. Both are explaining the doctrine of the Catholic Church, not their own ideas about doctrines. The manner of preaching may be different; the doctrine is the same throughout the world. There is “one faith” in the Catholic Church.
     So also there is but one “Baptism.” The term embraces all those essential rites which the Catholic Church practices. The most important rite of the Catholic Church is the Mass. The Mass is the re-enactment of the Last Supper, as was commanded by Christ. All Catholics are obliged to attend Mass every Sunday and on the important religious festivals of the year. This obligation is world-wide. So is the Mass. Our soldiers serving in foreign countries are always at home when they go into the Catholic churches of those nations; they find the Mass essentially as they knew it in the United States. The Mass is celebrated in every Catholic church throughout the world and consists of the same essential rite of the consecration of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
     The seven sacraments–Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Matrimony, Holy Orders and the Anointing of the Sick–are the same throughout the world. They are administered in the same way in all places. Every Catholic is obliged to make use of them at appropriate times; there are no national differences.

THE MARK OF HOLINESS
     Not only does the Catholic Church have that mark of unity which Christ wished His Church to have; it also has the mark of holiness. Christ instituted His Church to make men holy and to bring them to heaven. The Catholic Church does just that. None of its teaching ever leads men away from God; none ever twists human nature into some frightening form. All its practices and teachings tend to make men better.
     Moreover, the Catholic Church provides men with the means to become better. It does not simply offer the “consolation of religion.” It does something about man’s ceaseless struggle to become better. To those who are conscious of sinfulness, it does not merely say, “Repent in the secret of your heart and try to do your best in the future.” It says, “Go to the sacrament of Penance; have your sins forgiven, and receive the grace which that sacrament provides to help you avoid these sins for the future.” At the bedside of those seriously ill, the Catholic priest does not merely exhort the Catholic to be sorry for his sins and cast himself upon the mercy of God. The Catholic Church has a rite, the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick which forgives sins and brings the spiritual and physical help which men need in grave sickness.
     “Is any one among you sick?” asks St. James. “Let him bring in the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him” (James 5:14-16). That is what the Catholic Church does for her members.
     Finally, the Catholic Church is world-wide. That is a fact today as it has been a fact for all these centuries past. The membership of the Catholic Church consists of people of all nations, from every part of the world.
     That is not an accident or the result of good salesmanship. It is the result of the very nature of the Church of Christ. He sent His Apostles to make disciples of all nations. The doctrine and practices which He left them were of such a nature that they appeal to all nations. There has never been a nation which found the doctrine of the Catholic Church contradictory to its own culture or thought.
     When Pere Marquette journeyed down the Mississippi, preaching the Gospel, he found Indians who were anxious to listen to the story of the death of Christ upon the Cross. They were baptized and accepted Christianity wholeheartedly. When St. Francis Xavier reached Japan, he found the natives eager to hear the message. So firm were they in their faith that for two centuries during persecution they held on to that faith despite martyrdom. The Catholic Church is an ancient faith in Japan today, not a recent development.
     So it has been everywhere. The Catholic Church has not been the product of one culture or one nation. Catholicism followed the Spanish armies into this country, and the Spanish armies were defeated. It has little to do with the English colonization of the eastern seaboard. Yet today the Catholic Church is the largest single religious body in the United States and a native part of our culture. The Catholic Church is universal in its appeal. That is why it is called “Catholic,” for catholic means universal.

THE TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST
     These are the qualities which mark out the Catholic Church today as the one religious organization in the world which is identical with the Church which Jesus Christ founded. It is one, holy, catholic and apostolic, just as was the Church in the time of the first Apostles.
     These four marks point out the Catholic Church as the true Church of Christ in another way. Only God can work a miracle. Now these four qualities in a society are obviously miraculous.
     Take unity, for example. We have erected a society called the United Nations to make something of that unity. But it seems the more nations we have in it, the less unity there is.
     Political parties meet in convention to draw up a “platform” of action. But the platform cannot be too definite. There have to be compromises in deference to sharply conflicting views. The more divergent the factions in the party, the less agreement can be reached. All things human show the same tendency to disintegrate under the pressure of expansion.
     The truths held by all Catholics are numerous and detailed; sometimes they are involved. For example, all Catholics believe in transubstantiation. Transubstantiation is the term applied to the change of the whole substance of bread into the Body of Christ and the change of the whole substance of wine into the substance of the Blood of Christ, the appearance of bread and wine remaining. That is a very definite belief, though a rather involved one. It is not the kind of truth people would come to know and believe on their own. All Catholics hold it with equal belief and with complete acceptance.
     So it is with many other points of Catholic belief. The unity of the Catholic Church is something which is not matched anywhere else in the world. It is not that the Catholic Church is a little more united than other societies. It is that the Catholic Church is unified in a way which no other society was ever united. The ordinary laws of sociology do not apply here. That is what we mean by a miracle. Such unity cannot be explained on any natural basis.
     Take the case of the Church’s apostolic tradition. It is just not reasonable that a society which has lived so vigorously as the Catholic Church should not have burned itself out by this time. Every other society which was in existence when Christ founded His Church–the Roman Empire, nation of the Gauls, the great universities of Greece–has passed away. Groups have broken off from the Catholic Church during its almost two thousand years of existence. They have followed the curve of disintegration which governs all natural societies. They have waxed strong for a while, grown old and they have passed away.
     As the man in the Gospel who was born blind said after receiving his sight, “If this man were not from God, he could do nothing” (John 9:33). If the Catholic Church were not from God, it could not continue to possess, as the Catholic Church does, the four marks which Christ’s True Church must possess–apostolicity, catholicity, unity and holiness. Any church may claim these symbols of authenticity and authority. But only one may truly possess them.

"You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1978

"I gave you a simple plan with the construction of My House, My Church, upon earth. But now you want to reform it, until you will split My House asunder with many denominations, many new denominations. I ask that My Church be universal, apostolic, and the saver of souls. However, there are rules to be followed, doctrines to remain unchanged." - Jesus, September 7, 1978

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.

STANDARDS  OF  HIS  GOD
"Many questions arise, My child, about My Son's House. There is only one true foundation-that is the House of My Son with Peter as the first ruler and head, and now your Vicar, Paul VI. All others have protested against the law and rule and broken away. They must be returned to the fold. However, My children, you are proceeding along a path of delusion. You will not bring these souls back to My Son's House by changing to meet their standards. Man must change to meet the standards of his God!" - Our Lady, December 6, 1974

JUSTIFIED RULINGS
"You must understand that none shall come to the Eternal Father except through My Son. You ask, My child, of the thousands of lives upon earth, those who do not accept My Son, what has become and what will become of them? If they have received the knowledge of My Son and reject Him willfully, they cannot be saved. Of course, My child, the Eternal Father is all-merciful; We cannot condemn, He cannot condemn the innocent of heart. However, there are rules of Heaven, too, justified rulings, that none shall see the Beatific Vision unless they come through My Son.”  - Our Lady, May 29, 1976

WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES
"I must warn you at this time, as your Mother, that you must remove yourself from this gathering of world churches. My Son has given you His true Church upon your earth. All others have left it, as they could not follow the rule. As protesters, they have cast side the truth.
     "You must not compromise My Son's Church by bringing in the measure of humanism and modernism, for you have opened the door to satan.
     "Do not be swayed by the fallacy that all will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for only 'many,' My children, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven--if they follow the rule.
     "In the coming Chastisement only a few shall be saved.
     "I shall clarify my former statement, My child. You must remove yourself from the World Council of Churches. It has become an instrument of the adversary. There is but one Church, My children--the Church as set forth by My Son under Peter.”  - Our Lady, September 13, 1975

"YOU  WILL  LOSE  SOULS"
"The clergy upon earth, in all denominations, cannot give themselves over for experimentation, change with errors. For many souls shall be lost to Heaven. Clergy in My Son's House in Rome, under the direction of the Seat of Peter, you must recognize that the world is closing in upon you, and you will die on the vine if you conform with it.
   "Convert the unbeliever. All Heaven cries for conversion. Do not go forward with the delusion any longer that you will bring souls into My Son's House, His Church, by change. You will find you will lose souls, for a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it." - Our Lady, July 25, 1978 

ONLY  TRUE  RELIGION
"O My children, I will not go into a long discourse now with you about charity and love for your neighbor, but you must understand: you cannot judge your neighbor. You must pray for them. However, you cannot become weak and permissive. You must stand forth as bearers of the light, carriers of the truth. You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our Lady, September 7, 1978

YOUR  BIRTHRIGHT
"As in the past, rejection has been the start of a fallen man. Sin has become a way of life with many. You live in a delusion if you believe that you can offend the Eternal Father and then gain eternal life in the Kingdom. No, I say to you: many are called, but few are chosen.
   "Ask and you shall receive, believe and you will be given the way. But you must merit the Kingdom. Your birthright was a start, but you must make your way to the Kingdom. Others may gain these graces for you by prayer and acts of sacrifice, but you will accept or reject the key." - Jesus, May 26, 1976 

ONE TRUE CHURCH
"My child and My children, you are all My children. I judge you not by color or race, and I do not judge you by your creed; however, should the knowledge of the One True Church be given to you, and the way to Heaven along the narrow road be given to you, you will follow it or you will be rejected." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985

RELIGION  OF  THE  CROSS
"There is only one religion that can save your country and all of the countries of the world: the religion of the cross and My Son's sacrifice upon that cross." - Our Lady, November 25, 1978

SEPARATED  BRETHREN
"O My children, pray much! We do not want to see a division in My Son's House. The Roman Catholic Church must remain one! But this does not mean, as the church of man states, that you will bring all manner of heretics and separated brethren in. No, My children, that is an error, a delusion from satan. You cannot change My Son's House and bring them in and change for them! They must change and come back to the original rule given by My Son and those who were with Him in the building of the foundation.
   "I repeat, My child and My children: separated brethren must change. They have protested in the past; they have taken themselves away from the truth and the one true Church. They must reject the errors they have made in the past and come back and start again. They cannot bring their errors into My Son's House.
   "You are opening the doors now for all manner of heretics, separated brethren. They do not come to unite in good spirit and heart; they come to take over. They seek to change you, O pastors, who are being deluded. And what do I see in My Son's House but separated brethren upon His pulpit! Even from the temples, the synagogues of satan, upon His pulpit! And for what?
   "And who are My pastors now that have joined in this plan of destruction? Who ordained some of them? Not legitimate hands. They come to destroy. They come in like rats, burrowing, undermining My Son's Church! Do you think you are not watched? Are you above your Creator that you think you can deceive the world permanently? No, I say unto you! You are being given your time, for you who have given yourselves to satan are now exposing your true nature to the world." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

ESTABLISHED  BY  JESUS CHRIST
"There are many deceptions taking place among you, and one being the falsification of the manner of the salvation of souls. When I was upon earth, I established the rules and I gave you My Church, My House. However, now I watch as many have gone forward with itching ears and novelty, and they are setting upon the world a new religion." - Jesus, May 20, 1978 

WILL  STAND
"Do not be deluded, My children, by the agents of satan among you in human form who preach doctrines of devils. The truth has been given to mankind through the ages. The Holy Roman Catholic Church of My Son will stand. The members shall be reduced to few. Only a remnant, My child, shall carry the banner Faithful and True. But the gates of hell shall fight a heavy battle against My Son's Church, but they shall not succeed." - Our Lady, May 14, 1977

ONLY  SANCTIFIED  HOUSE
"Your children are wandering into the web of satan, going farther from the House of My Son. The truth is being removed from their hearts. They are setting among themselves groups. They shall not remove from their lives vows of My Son. As the only sanctified House upon earth, their souls will be destroyed when they are not given the Bread of living life. This Bread will only be obtained in the sanctified House of My Son. Satan seeks to remove the tabernacle from among you." - Our Lady, August 5, 1973

"My children, My little humble children, I appeal to you as your Mother, go forward on foot, knock on the doors; bring the light to your brothers and sisters.  For those who have been given great grace, much is expected of them." - Our Lady of the Roses,  May 26, 1976

"As disciples of the latter days, My children, much shall be asked of you, but I assure you:  all that you give in faith and charity shall be returned to you threefold." - Jesus, June 1, 1978
