Bishop Henry on why he's not afraid to speak out on homosexuality, abortion...

"Homosexuality shall always be condemned, because it is against the nature of man; and it is a violation of all human morality, and shall not be tolerated by the Eternal Father in the Trinity." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 5, 1985

LifeSiteNews reported on October 26, 2006:

Calgary Bishop Fred Henry is known as the most outspoken bishop in Canada. He is accessible to the media and unafraid to speak freely and with candor even on the tough, politically incorrect topics of the day such as homosexuality, abortion and why Catholic politicians that support these should be denied Communion.

LifeSiteNews.com spoke with Bishop Henry about these issues and why he is not afraid of speaking out.

Asked about the discussion at the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops Plenary Session on Catholic politicians who defy the Church on matters of faith and morals, Bishop Henry said it was a "first attempt to try to address a very difficult question."

Bishop Henry explained the problem of having pro-abortion or pro-same-sex-marriage politicians is exacerbated when they "at the same time present themselves to people as so called Catholics who are walking a different line and yet supposedly sharing our values but not demonstrating very much by way of virtue."

Taking action on such politicians by denying them communion or speaking out publicly against them is a way of avoiding the scandal of the public believing such behavior is tolerable suggested the bishop. "Because of the scandal factor that is involved and because it does cause a kind of erosion of adherence to Catholic teaching, and because you can suggest by non activity that 'well I guess this is ok or there is not much I can do about it', some of us have been very vocal in trying to bring people to account," said Bishop Henry.

Although, said the Calgary bishop, "you don't want to make the liturgy a war zone, where you fight out your political values," you must address the situation. "You appeal to people to take the higher ground, and if they've already separated themselves from the church our appeal is 'don't make it worse, don't make a mockery of our understanding, please don't offend us by presenting yourself for communion when you are not one with the body of Christ.'"

Bishop Henry concludes on the point: "But if it comes down to it, if such a person would present himself in my cathedral I would give them a blessing rather than give them the Eucharist."

LifeSiteNews.com asked Bishop Henry about the effect the same-sex marriage law will have on Catholic education. Bishop Henry pointed to the province of British Columbia where the school system has arranged with homosexual activists to incorporate into the curriculum 'gay-positive' education, without the opportunity of parents to opt their children out of such classes.

"When people say they sky is not falling with the passage of (the same-sex 'marriage' bill)," said the bishop, we tell them to "watch what's going on in BC right now, and look at the travesty that is unfolding in front of us with the denial of parental rights with respect to the education of their children and a forced curriculum." It is, he said, "A specialized ideological agenda that is being rammed down our throats."

Asked why he is not afraid to say such things in Canada where many voices have been cowed into silence, Bishop Henry replied, "Well I guess it's because I read the last chapter of the book and we win in the end." He added, "I mean if you really believe that the Spirit of God is with you, what have you got to fear?"

"The challenge for any believer is to get out of the upper room," he said. "The apostles were locked up there after the resurrection, and the biggest challenge was that the lock was on the inside of the door. They had to get out of that upper room onto the streets of Jerusalem and talk about faith and the good news of salvation, and I suppose in some way for all of us it's still the same story. If we really believe in our baptism we've got to be courageous people, the Spirit of God is with us.

"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.

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

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."
