Vatican says no to homosexuals in priesthood - approved by Pope Benedict...
"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 September 19, 2005:
Homosexual men may not be admitted to the Catholic priesthood, according to a soon-to-be released document that has been approved by Pope Benedict XVI. The document has been anticipated since before the death of Pope John Paul II and speculation has raged that it would retreat for political reasons from declaring a ban on ordaining declared homosexual men. In a media update today, Catholic World News says that the text was approved by Pope Benedict at the end of August. The document, to be classed as an “Instruction” comes from the Congregation for Catholic Education and says that homosexual men should not be admitted to seminaries even if they are celibate. It says that homosexuality, understood by the Catholic Church as a moral and psychological disorder, seriously “detracts from their ability to serve as ministers.”
The document is expected to be released to the public after the international Bishops synod in Rome in October.
In 2002, the same year the scandal of widespread abuse of minors by homosexual predators in the priesthood, Catholic journalist and author, Michael Rose, released his best-selling exposé of what he identified as a homosexual underground in the seminary system that reached all the way into chanceries. Rose implicated bishops and seminary rectors as well as priests in enormous network whose objective was to make the Catholic priesthood a “gay profession.” The presence of the “lavender mafia” in US seminaries, said Rose in his book, has led to a clerical culture in which the teaching of the Catholic Church on other doctrinal issues, especially on abortion, contraception and marriage, is undermined or ignored.
Since 2002, the mainstream media and significant portions of the Catholic community have been attempting to paint the issue as one of “priestly pedophilia,” rather than homosexual predation. This, despite statistics that have clearly shown the great majority of abuse victims were young adolescent men and boys in their teens. The scandal has been a disaster for Catholics in the US, resulting in billions of dollars lost to law suits and a number of dioceses declaring bankruptcy.
The controversy over the anticipated document has been fueled by a long delay and speculation that the Vatican intended to back away from an outright ban on homosexuals in the priesthood. As recently as August 31, The Age newspaper in Australia was reporting that an unnamed highly placed Vatican source said the document was to be “shelved.”
Today’s announcement came at the same time as the US Church gears up for a Vatican-ordered inspection of seminaries. Archbishop Edwin O’Brien, the head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services and the bishop appointed by Rome to head the investigation has said that he believes men with “strong homosexual inclinations” should not be allowed to enter seminaries.
A vocal group of homosexuals and their supporters in the priesthood and hierarchy have been advocating that the inspection of seminaries should focus on the issue of “celibacy” rather than homosexuality. This is seen by many as a smokescreen and a convenient back door for bishops who hesitate to support the Catholic teaching which has long been that homosexual men may not be ordained.
The seminary inspection will also investigate faculty members for dissent from Catholic teaching which Fr. Richard John Neuhaus has proclaimed is the root cause of the sexual scandals. In preliminary documents, the Vatican has ordered that areas to be examined include whether "there is a clear process for removing" dissident faculty.

"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
