"Talking About Touching" objector removed from thriving parish ministry...

 

"A foul situation has come about in the schools, both public and private. They are now teaching sex education, My children. And this is a debauchery of your young souls. Parents, are you so blind that you do not investigate, or ask your children what has happened in their classes today at school?" - Our Lady of the Roses, September 27, 1986

LifeSiteNews reported on May 16, 2006:

Fr. Robert Altier of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis, after his public objections to a diocesan sex education program, has been removed from his position as assistant at St. Agnes parish and demoted to assistant chaplain at a nursing home. The Desert Voice website said that Fr. Robert Altier would obey Archbishop Harry Flynn’s order to leave his thriving parish ministry.

Fr. Altier was ordered in March to cease publishing his homilies on Desert Voice and to stop his appearances on local radio after he made his objections to the diocesan Protection of Children and Youth Initiative program, VIRTUS, that includes the notorious Talking About Touching (TAT) program for children. The homilies were removed by the site’s moderators who said that people from around the world regularly read and praised them for their eloquence and adherence to Catholic orthodoxy.

Fr. Altier was also popular in the parish of St. Agnes for spending many hours in the confessional and for his course, Fundamentals of Catholicism that he offered to about 150 laity each year and is responsible for many conversions. The nursing home, Regina Medical Center in Hastings, Minnesota, is a 61 bed facility already served by a priest and a sister who will be retaining their positions and has only one scheduled Mass per day. The Archdiocese is currently in the midst of a vocation crisis and has approximately 12 parishes that lack a priest.

Local Catholics say that Fr. Altier has been singled out because of his success in warning parents of the danger of VIRTUS and TAT. The Wanderer reported that at a meeting of approximately 200 local Catholic school principals and religious education directors on February 10, 2006, the question was asked, “what was going to be done about local priests that were stirring up the pot about the chancery's safe-environment initiative.” Sister Fran Donnelly, the Saint Paul-Minneapolis archdiocesan director of the Protection of Children and Youth Initiative, responded that Vicar General Fr. Kevin McDonough, “is getting out a two-by-four,” to deal with the objectors, foremost among whom is Fr. Altier.
 
It was shortly after this, on Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, that Fr. Altier received the message from Flynn silencing him.

In early March, Fr. Altier spoke with the Catholic news site, Spirit Daily, explaining his opposition to VIRTUS. Altier said of the program materials, “These things are nothing short of disgusting, and, if I may say, they completely violate the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.” Parents, priests and some bishops have said that the VIRTUS program does nothing to stop predators but instead places the burden of protection on young children themselves.

The dedication of the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese to promoting VIRTUS/TAT, has puzzled local Catholics who say it is due to a combination of financial considerations and pressure from the archdiocese’ powerful homosexual clergy interested in pushing the gay agenda.

Elizabeth Schwab, writing for Desert Voice, said it was “interesting that the Archbishop would choose to exclusively promote VIRTUS/TAT when he actually prefers FICC (“Formation in Christian Chastity” a program developed in the diocese of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania).” Schwab points out that the program is endorsed by homosexual advocacy organizations and Planned Parenthood and that some bishops, notably Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln that enjoys one of the lowest rates of priestly sexual abuse of children in the US, refuse to use it.

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

 

Sex Education In Schools
Our Lady -
"A foul situation has come about in the schools, both public and private. They are now teaching sex education, My children. And this is a debauchery of your young souls. Parents, are you so blind that you do not investigate, or ask your children what has happened in their classes today at school? Show you no interest as you go about the world gathering materialism, and seeking to break your home apart by husband and wife going in both directions; neither do they work together to hold the home together, but they work apart, many leaving the children astray by not having counsel over them."
    "My child and My children, I tell you now: All that I have told you in the past will come to pass. There will be great punishments set upon earth. The United States and Canada shall not escape. They have been actually sentenced by the Eternal Father to many calamities that will befall them very shortly. The Father in Heaven feels in this manner shall they bring many back to the fold. It is not an angry God Who speaks to you, My children, but a sorrowful One. All of our hearts in Heaven, and the hearts of the saints, are saddened at what is to come upon mankind.(9-27-86)

 

Sex Education - Obligation Of Parents
Jesus -
"My child, I do not wish to burden you any longer with the miseries upon earth. I wish to talk only a while, a little bit, about the children of earth, the young children. The parents must be very careful, My children, who you send your children to be taught from. Much evil is being developed in the schools in the name of sexuality. Why cannot we have our children pure of thought and mind? How can we, My children, when the teachers there are being taught to bring in sex education to your children? This belongs not in the schools, but in the homes. This is an obligation of the parents. It will only lead to much greater disaster by having this sex education in the school system." (10-2-87)

 

No Sex Education In Schools
Jesus -
"My child, I know much of this discourse distresses your heart, but you can imagine well - and I know you do, My child Veronica - the sorrow My Mother feels now that sex education has entered upon the school system. We say unto you, and I say to you, as your God, My children: Mothers and fathers of the world, you will not give over your children to be taught by demons! Satan has many loosed upon earth now. They enter into the bodies of any man, woman or child who has fallen out of grace; and they enter into the bodies of those who teach your children error.
    "It is the place and the will of the Eternal Father that the home shall be the safeguard for the children's souls - the mother, the father. But what can We expect, My children, when even the state of marriage, the sacrament of Marriage, is being destroyed slowly? We know all that is going on upon earth - living together without unions under God. No, My children, that shall also be destroyed in time; if not by sickness and death of the body, it will also be by sickness and death of the soul!
    "My children, it was never deemed by Heaven, nor the Eternal Father - as written in the good Book of life and love, your Bible, that man shall not cohort with man; man shall not cohabit with man, and man shall not seek diversion from his home by setting out to seduce another.
"My child, and My children, are there many strong homes left in the United States, Canada, and many homes of the world? No, My children, the standards have been lowered. And when the standards are lowered, satan takes over." (6-6-87)

 

Sex Education - Private Discourse Between Children And Parents
St. Theresa
- "The mind and the eyes are the mirror of the soul. Therefore, you will cast your eyes upon goodness and holiness and purity. You will not watch the infernal machine - your television. You will not read books of sex education, books that do not belong in your schools! They are a private discourse between children and parents.
    "The Eternal Father finds abominations and sins, soul - sins and matter of sins of the flesh, being committed because of the false teachers who now have set themselves in the House of God." (10-2-75)
