Bishop Frederick Henry: "Too many Catholics have become too complacent and too tolerant"

Bishop Frederick Henry: "Too many Catholics have become too complacent and too tolerant"...

"My children, My Mother has taken it upon Herself to act as a Mediatrix between God the Father and man. Her heart is torn constantly by the rejection She receives from mankind, for the good have become complacent, and the bad have become worse. And in between We find those who 'care less,' for they are neither hot nor warm, but lukewarm. And even the lukewarm shall be cast aside in the final count." - Jesus, December 7, 1978

LifeSiteNews.com reported on December 12, 2005:

Bishop Frederick Henry, of the Calgary Diocese, called upon Catholics to “push back” against the forces of secularism in our society, in an interview with Zenit news yesterday. In recent years, Henry has been an unusually outspoken public defender of Catholic principles in contrast to the very timid response by most Canadian religious leaders to on-going, serious attacks against traditional Christian culture and beliefs.
“We are not nearly countercultural enough or prophetic enough,” Bishop Henry said, reminding Catholics that they have a responsibility to be a witness of Christ in the midst of the growing secularism of Canadian society.

“Catholics need to feel more obliged than ever not to neglect their duties as citizens in this world. Theirs is the task of contributing with the light of the Gospel to the building of a more human world, a world fully in harmony with God’s plan.”

The Bishop warned that the Church in Canada will face increasing attempts to privatize and marginalize religion, resulting in increased discrimination and restrictions. He suggested that the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals “will in all likelihood act as the thought-police” in coming years, to enforce politically correct thinking. In March of 2005 a complaint filed with the Alberta Human Rights Commission accused Bishop Henry of discriminating against homosexuals by calling on Catholics to express their opposition to same-sex marriage legislation (see http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/mar/05033001.html).

Henry also warned that under the new same-sex marriage legislation, educators will be forced to teach schoolchildren that homosexual and heterosexual unions are morally equivalent. “The argument will be that any other approach would be discriminatory and contrary to the equality rights under s. 15(1) of the Charter and the numerous court cases that have led to the passage of Bill C-38.”

The Calgary bishop stated clearly that Catholic politicians, in particular, have an unavoidable responsibility to bring the fundamental convictions of their faith into their public work.

“In undertaking any public initiative, it is morally incoherent to leave out completely one’s own fundamental convictions…The truth regarding the human person and obligations to uphold this truth do not change when a politician leaves the security of the home and ventures into the secular or political sphere,” Bishop Henry said. “In all that he or she does, the Catholic politician must work to proclaim and put into action the truth about man and the world.”

He also stated that acting in a manner “scandalous to the faithful, harmful to society, and gravely immoral” may eventually lead politicians to lose the right to holy Communion, quoting Canon 915: “Those […] who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy Communion.”

Bishop Henry emphasized the call to all Catholics to proclaim Jesus Christ to the world, and to “walk with Christ beside men and women of today, supporting them in their difficult search for the truth and making them in some way feel the presence of the Redeemer in everyday life.”

"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." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1981

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.

SIN IS INSANITY
"I have told you, counseled you in the past, that sin is insanity. Your world and its people are involved--they walk as on a treadmill, seeking power and money and material goods and pleasure. And they go round and about, never stopping as the world plunges faster to the abyss.” – Our Lady, August 4, 1979

FREE WILL
"I say unto you, as your God, I bring not your destruction. You will bring about your own destruction, for I leave you, as your God, to the exercise of your free will. In your free will, if you reject your God and the plan for man's redemption as given from the beginning of time, I say unto you, you will destroy yourselves.
"Sin is insanity; insanity shall be loosed upon your world. There will come a time, if you continue on your present path, so vile and evil upon mankind that those who are living will envy the dead.” – Jesus, May 18, 1977

THE GREAT FOUNDATION
"Pray constantly your Rosary, your beads of prayer to Heaven. Remain unified in your family lives. The institution of your country--the great foundation is based on family life. Destroy the family and you destroy your country. The enemies--the enemy is already within your country. Watch and pray well, My children." - Our Lady, June 18, 1980

READ YOUR BIBLES
"Your word of homosexuality can be explained by the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Read in your Bibles or consult your clergy. Find yourselves, My children, a humble, pious clergy. Many have fallen away from the Faith." Our Lady, October 6, 1992

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, 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, August 5, 1977

BLACK CLOUD OVER AMERICA
"In the days of Sodom, so too were men giving themselves over to all the pleasures of the flesh: eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage. All manner of sinful lusts are being committed. Men shameful with men, women casting aside their role of motherhood and lusting after women. As it was in the days of Sodom, so now is this black cloud over America." Our Lady, July 14, 1979

SODOM: "WE DESTROYED IT"
"And the great issue now of homosexuality in your country, that shall be on the balance that Michael holds. Unless this balance is evened by removing this evil from your country and bringing in just laws to prevent the spread of homosexuality, you cannot be saved; your country cannot be saved. Because I repeat again, as I have repeated in the past: When a country has given itself over to immorality and all pleasures of the flesh, and abominations of the flesh, then that country will fall! If you do not believe Me, My children, I say: You will read your history books, and you will find out that there was a Sodom and Gomorrah. And what did We do to that abominable city, Sodom? We destroyed it! And what did We do to Gomorrah? We destroyed it! And We destroyed all who did not follow the plan for their redemption." Jesus, November 1, 1985

SIN: FORERUNNER OF WAR
"For sin is always a forerunner for war, My children: murders, persecutions, robberies, all manners of sins of the flesh, homosexuality, lesbianism, perversion, sodomy. Sodom and Gomorrah fell for less sins than you have committed now upon your earth. Noah took to the ark and the world was in a better state spiritually than your world now; for you have accepted a sophisticated manner of sin, based on man's reasoning and not God's truth." Our Lady, October 2, 1979

ANY COUNTRY
"Any country that allows homosexuals to roam and to seduce the young shall be destroyed." Our Lady, June 30, 1984
