Kerala Cardinal says "loose Catholic doctrine" from West has influenced Indian Catholics to accept contraception...

"The encyclical of Pope Paul VI on birth control is true and must be followed by mankind. There shall be no rationalization of sin.” - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1976

LifeSiteNews reported on June 15, 2006:

In the southern Indian state of Kerala, Cardinal Varkey Vitheryathil is the leader of the state’s largest Christian denomination, the Syro Malabar Catholic Church. On May 30 LifeSiteNews interviewed the Cardinal in the official Archbishop’s House in the city of Cochin, the commercial capital of Kerala.

In the interview the Cardinal confirmed the vitality of Catholicism in Kerala but also noted how the "loose Catholic doctine coming from Western countries" has led Kerala Catholics to assume the non-Catholic belief that using contraception is "a decision left up to the couple". He told LifeSiteNews that Kerala Catholics became aware of priests and bishops in the West opposing Pope Paul VI's encylical Humanae Vitae.

Canada's infamous Winnipeg Statement theology was one instance of such an incorrect Catholic teaching, widely promoted throughout Canada, which has been held up as an international model that influenced Catholics in other nations.

Working mothers, the influence of TV and the desire for money to buy all the things modern life has to offer are other factors that Cardinal said have led to the huge drop in the Kerala Catholic birthrate.

The low birthrate of the Christians as well as the Hindus, said the Cardinal, will result in Kerala becoming an Islamic state in 20 years if present trends continue, since the Muslims have 7, 8 children and are told from an early age "you must have 8 children. More than 8 children, it’s a special blessing of Allah."

"We warned you over and over again, through years of visitations upon earth—My Mother going to and fro to warn you, that those who have given themselves over to debasement, by the practice of homosexuality, birth control, abortion and all other aberrations that bring sorrow to My Mother's heart—this must be stopped now. There shall be no excuse accepted in Heaven by the saints, nor by My Mother and I, or the Eternal Father and the Holy Ghost, for what you are doing upon earth now. " - Jesus, June 6, 1987

The awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

SIXTY MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world." - Our Lady, June 18, 1986

TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just recompense." - Our Lady, March 18, 1983

DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves over to destroying human life in abortions." - Jesus, June 6, 1987

FOULEST OF DEEDS
"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976

TORMENT
"The torment that will be visited upon those who murder the innocent shall be eternal damnation and feasting their eyes upon the murdered souls." - Our Lady, May 10, 1972

SAINTS CRY OUT FOR PUNISHMENT
"Oh, the greatest of sorrow is upon Our hearts because of the loss of the little ones. Your country, My child, and many countries throughout your world, shall do great penance for the murders of the young, the abortions, the murders being committed in your country. The saints in Heaven cry out for punishment upon a wicked generation. Never in the past, in all the slaughters of history, has there been such wanton killing of the young and the innocent! I say unto you, as your God, you shall be brought down to your knees! You, evil mankind, you shall be cleansed in a bloodbath!” - Jesus, February 1, 1977
