Competent enough to live...
"And I repeat again to all clergy in My Son's House: you shall not rationalize sin. Abortion is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! Euthanasia is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! The Commandments of your God must be followed, and no changes will be made upon them to suit the basic fallen nature of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1979
LifeSiteNews.com reported on June 16, 2008:
Commentary by Bobby Schindler
Recently, yet another situation similar to that of my sister Terri Schiavo has made headlines. In West Palm Beach, Florida, Raymond Weber is asking the court to dehydrate his disabled wife, Karen, to death.
If you have read any of the reports in mainstream media, it’s just another case of a husband looking out for the “best interest” of his spouse. And just as in Terri’s case, Raymond Weber is asking the government to deliberately kill his wife who is not dying and is guilty of nothing more than having difficulty swallowing and therefore needing help, in the form of a feeding tube, to eat.
Not surprisingly, in a story by the AP, was a quote from the husband’s attorney who so touchingly referred to his client’s brain-injured wife as a “vegetable,” thus offending the tens of thousands of people and their families who do live with a profound brain injury.
The reporter also wrote that the decision whether Karen should live or die will depend upon whether or not a committee finds her “competent” to go on living. Yes, that is correct, competent enough to live. I guess passing an IQ test will be next.
Factors such as what is being taught in our medical schools, the breakdown of our health care system, the powerful influence of assisted suicide organizations, and the propaganda of our mainstream media have taken their toll.
As a result, the physically and mentally “inferior” are being denied the most basic care—food and water—in our nation’s medical facilities every day. (Thank goodness we have laws making it a felony if we do the same to an animal, although I would expect there would be a greater outcry if it were the family pets at risk.)
Equally as disturbing is the fact that our politicians, including our two presidential candidates, ignore this issue and because of it are failing in one of the most important responsibilities they have as leaders—to protect our most vulnerable citizens.
Perhaps our general public doesn’t have a clue as to how widespread this problem is in our nation today. This ignorance is in large part because of a stealth and powerful lobby who support patient dehydration based on quality of life judgments. This has slowly but surely changed our laws regarding food and water. Nutrition and hydration through a feeding tube, once considered basic care, are now recognized as “artificial nutrition and hydration”—and therefore a form of “medical treatment.”
Because of this, people have the right (this now includes hospital ethics committees under the banner of “futile care”) to refuse medical treatment (food and water via feeding tube) either for themselves or for others, which is often based on “best interest” scenarios. Denying the disabled food and water has become a routine part of medicine that only becomes an issue when family disagrees, as in the case of Karen Weber and my sister Terri.
If you need proof, read what was recently written in a March 18 New York Times article. In this column by Jane Brody, Judith Schwarz, a registered nurse and clinical coordinator for “Compassion & Choices” of New York was quoted as saying the following: “1.3 million people die each year in American hospitals as ‘a consequence of someone’s decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment.’”
If this is accurate, these numbers are staggering. Although there are no statistics available to indicate exactly how many of these 1.3 million are simply being starved and dehydrated to death because a “loved one” doesn’t feel like taking on the “burden” of caring for these individuals, it is safe to say that dehydrating the disabled to death is happening every day in our country—in fact thousands of times daily, if the figures are to be believed. During Terri’s battle, Michael Schiavo’s attorney admitted that his effort to kill my sister by denying her food and hydration is a widely practiced “medical treatment.”
How have we sunk so far as a nation to become so desensitized and disconnected to the value and dignity of our most vulnerable, that dehydrating the disabled to death has become about as ordinary as buying a loaf of bread?
Someone once said that when your life becomes difficult, change your life, not your morals. Faced with difficult life choices today, too many have become too comfortable acting immorally.
"No man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the help of all scientific means." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 5, 1976
*******
There are four sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance (extreme punishment):
1) Willful murder.
2) The sin of Sodom.
3) Oppression of the poor.
4) Defrauding the laborer of his wages.
Euthanasia, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, mercy killing, and homosexuality cry out to Heaven for extreme punishment on the United States.
Many people are ignorant of the Church's teaching regarding ordinary nursing care towards extremely ill or terminally ill patients. The Church states that "decisions about these patients should be guided by a presumption in favor of medically-assisted nutrition and hydration” and that for patients, even in an irreversible coma, "all care should be lavished on him, including feeding."
Pope John Paul II, March
20, 2004:
Bishop Henry
Gracida (interview
with Barbara Kralis)
"Some Catholics would argue that they are simply
following their conscience and that the Church allows them to do so. They choose
to forget that the Church says that one can only safely follow an INFORMED
CONSCIENCE, i.e., a conscience that has been formed and illuminated by the
teachings of the Church. The Church has given clear and explicit guidelines
regarding the removal of a feeding tube through which 'nutrition and hydration'
is supplied to a sick person.
"All persons who wish to remain in communion with the Catholic Church, to
receive Holy Communion and the other Sacraments, must assent to the teachings of
the Church in matters of faith and morals.
[3]
"If a person supports euthanasia and assisted-suicide through the
illicit rejection or removal of a feeding tube, they are not in communion with
the Church. They have separated themselves from the Church."
Pontifical Council on Health Affairs, “Cor Unum,” June 27, 1981:
“On the contrary, there remains the strict obligation to continue by all
means those measures which are called ‘minimal’, which are intended normally and
customarily for the maintenance of life (alimentation, blood transfusions,
injections, etc.). To interrupt these minimal measures would be equivalent, in
practice, to wishing to put an end to the life of the patient.”
Pontifical Academy of Sciences, October 1985:
“If the patient is in a permanent coma, irreversible as far as it can
be foreseen, treatment is not required, but all care should be
lavished on him, including feeding... If treatment is of no
benefit to the patient, it may be interrupted while continuing with the care
of the patient.”
U.S.
Bishops, Nutrition and Hydration: Moral and Pastoral Reflections:
”Therefore we are gravely concerned about current attitudes and
policy trends in our society that would too easily dismiss patients without
apparent mental faculties as non-persons or as undeserving of human care and
concern. In this climate, even legitimate moral arguments intended to have a
careful and limited application can easily be misinterpreted, broadened, and
abused by others to erode respect for the lives of some of our society’s most
helpless members. In light of these concerns, it is our considered judgment that
while legitimate Catholic moral debate continues, decisions about these
patients should be guided by a presumption in favor of medically-assisted
nutrition and hydration.”
New
Jersey Catholic Conference, January 22, 1987:
Another pertinent statement regarding the nutrition/hydration debate
was given by the New Jersey Catholic Conference on January 22, 1987 in a
friend-of-the-court brief entitled, “Providing Food and Fluids to Severely Brain
Damaged Patients.” This document was in reaction to the Nancy Ellen Jobes case
pending at the time before the New Jersey Court:
"The [New Jersey Catholic] Conference maintains that nutrition and hydration, being basic to human life, are aspects of normal care, which are not excessively burdensome, that should always be provided to a patient. Nutrition and hydration are clearly distinguished from medical treatment. Medical treatment is aimed at curing a disease. Nutrition and hydration are directed at sustaining life. Medical treatment is therapeutic; nutrition and hydration are not, because they will not cure any disease. For that fundamental reason we insist that nutrition and hydration must always be maintained....” (Origins, January 22, 1987, p. 583)
"Who will
be safe in your land, My children? You will one day grow old. Will you be a
burden to your family, to be removed without heart? When you grow sick, you
are ill, will you become too much of a burden to your society and they will
remove you?" - Our Lady of the Roses, March 25, 1972
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:
EUTHANASIA
“The time will come, My child, when those who are upon the earth will envy
those have passed beyond the veil. Insanity, sin. Sin is insanity. The aged will
be put to death, the crippled will be put to death, the mentally ill will be
eliminated. The value of life will be gone. The value for life will be
destroyed. Murderers! Sanctioned among those with the power to destroy the
souls!” – Jesus, March 18, 1974
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
"No man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the
excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world
because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the help
of all scientific means. The Eternal Father has placed a soul in that body. That
body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! No man can know when that soul must
return to the Eternal Father. No man shall hasten its exit from a body by
murder! Euthanasia is murder! Shall you become a judge over the living and the
dead?" - Our Lady, June 5, 1976
CONDEMNS
TO HELL
"And I repeat again to all clergy in My Son's House: you shall not rationalize
sin. Abortion is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance!
Euthanasia is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! The
Commandments of your God must be followed, and no changes will be made upon them
to suit the basic fallen nature of mankind.
"The road to Heaven, My children, is a narrow one; too few stay upon it.
For they are often carried away with the cares of the world, and the pleasures
of the materialistic pursuits, and their gathering of money and prestige and
power. For what? For the few short years allotted to each human upon earth. I
ask you to ask yourself: is it worth it to lose your soul? Many will sell their
souls to get to the head." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979
START AND
EXPIRATION OF LIFE
"The Eternal Father is much distressed by mankind's actions. They must not try
to control the start and expiration of a life. Abortion is murder, My children,
for you bring to an untimely end a mission of a soul. The Eternal Father
breathes the spirit of life into the body at the moment of conception. No man
shall destroy this body until it has completed its mission as directed by the
Eternal Father, for any man who destroys the mission and the body is guilty of
murder. Euthanasia, untimely death, My children, man has transgressed into a
form of evil far worse than in the time of Noe or Sodom. Therefore, how great
shall be the punishment to mankind!" - Our Lady, June 12, 1976
GREAT CHASTISEMENT
"My child and My children, the murders of the unborn will bring great
chastisement upon the United States, Canada, and the nations of the world, that
are now contributing not only to the delinquency of your children and the
world's children, but are condoning murder and euthanasia. Euthanasia, My child
and My children, is murder!
"We have been very patient. The Eternal Father has voiced His decision
within My hearing, and I tell you, My children, your chastisement is just at
hand." - Jesus, July 1, 1985
DOCTORS OF THE EARTH
"I have, O woe to man, this saddest of
stories: one of man against man, brother against brother, mother against
daughter, father against son, in the battle of the spirits. Now, O poor aged and
helpless, poor on earth, you will now be victims of your own. Doctors of the
earth, what have you done to yourselves in your practices? You do not seek to
preserve life, but to destroy.” – Our Lady, March 18, 1973

children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and
back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage
within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises to
help protect our children. On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of
ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the
world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and
protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water
throughout your household. 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."
