Cardinal George of Chicago reaffirms longtime Vatican teaching: no homosexuals allowed in priesthood...
"I will not stand for My priests who condone homosexuality and allow it in My priesthood! I will not stand for My priests who allow the murder of the unborn with their permissiveness! I will not stand by and allow My priesthood to be destroyed!" - Jesus, June 18, 1982
LifeSiteNews.com reported on June 20, 2005:
The American Conference of Catholic Bishops is being accused of ‘side-stepping’ the issue of whether or not homosexuals ought to be permitted to be ordained. At a recent meeting of the conference, the bishops voted by a wide majority to extend for another five years a ‘zero-tolerance’ policy for admitting sexual abusers into the seminary, or allowing them to continue serving in the priesthood. This policy has been in place since 2002. However, some, including Don Lattin of the San Francisco Chronicle, have complained that “The new 84-page report on seminary admission makes only one reference to homosexuality.” The reason for concern about an alleged lack of closure on the matter is the results of a study by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice which has indicated that homosexuality and not pedophilia has been the underlying cause of the abuse scandal.
The one reference to homosexuality contained in the document, however, concisely lays down the long-held teaching of the Catholic Church. “With regard to the admission of candidates with same-sex experience and/or inclinations,” says the report, “the guidelines provided by the Holy See must be followed.”
Lattin claims that this isn’t sufficient as the bishops are still waiting for the latest document from the Vatican (The Holy See) on the issue of the admission of homosexual candidates into the priesthood. However, such a document can only further clarify what has already been clearly stated Church teaching. A decision on the matter has been firmly in place and promulgated since as early as 1961.
A 1961 document produced by the Sacred Congregation for Religious states: “Those affected by the perverse inclination to homosexuality or pederasty should be excluded from religious vows and ordination,” because priestly ministry would place such persons in “grave danger”.
Over the past weekend, with the American bishops converging in Chicago to vote on the new policies, Cardinal George spoke for the whole conference, stating that homosexuals, as per the universal teaching of the Church, are not to be ordained into the priesthood.
Cardinal George’s proclamation on the matter is perfectly in line with a more recent Vatican declaration dating from May 16, 2002, which once again clarified the Church’s long-held teaching.
In this more recent statement Cardinal Estevez of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments stated: “Ordination to the deaconate and the priesthood of homosexual men or men with homosexual tendencies is absolutely inadvisable and imprudent and, from the pastoral point of view, very risky. A homosexual person, or one with a homosexual tendency is not, therefore, fit to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders.”

"I shall come soon to cleanse My temples, the churches. I shall cast out you who have given yourselves and set upon My Church a stigma of fallen hierarchy. Awaken from your slumber! Recognize the faces of evil about you, My pastors! Shall you please man, or shall you follow the rule of your God? No man shall save you from judgment. No man shall give you your reward. But satan has set on earth men who shall claim you for satan." - Jesus, November 20, 1975
"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.
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
