Amazon Synod Working Document Released Today, and It Confirms There’s Trouble on the Horizon...

Pope John Paul II on priestly celibacy
"The heart of the priest, in order that it may be available for this service, must be free. Celibacy is a sign of freedom that exists for the sake of service."  - Pope John Paul II, Letter to Priests, Holy Thursday 1979, art. 8.

Pope Paul VI on priestly celibacy
"The true, profound reason for dedicated celibacy is, as We have said, the choice of a closer and more complete relationship with the mystery of Christ and the Church for the good of all mankind: in this choice there is no doubt that those highest human values are able to find their fullest expression." (#54)
    "The young candidates for the priesthood should convince themselves that they are not able to follow their difficult way without a special type of asceticism which is more demanding than that which is asked of all the other faithful and which is proper to themselves as candidates for the priesthood. We are speaking of an asceticism which is demanding but not suffocating, which consists in the deliberate and assiduous practice of those virtues which distinguish a priest from other men: self-denial in the highest degree-an essential for following Christ."  - Pope Paul VI, On Priestly Celibacy, (Sacerdotalis Coelibatus), 1967, #70.

"If you continue, O pastors and those who rule the  Eternal  City in  Rome, there will be no other recourse but to reduce you to ashes and build anew. How many souls shall be lost to the Kingdom because of your misconduct?" - Jesus, November 1, 1975

CONFUSION, ERROR, HERESY
"In Rome, the Eternal City of the Father, there is much confusion, error. And heresy, O mournful heresy! Whatever shall become of you?
    "I cry bitter tears; I cry tears of a Mother Who watches with a pierced heart as Her children are fast plunging themselves into a mass confusion and self-destruction promoted by satan and his agents." - Our Lady, September 28, 1976

STOP CHANGE AND NOVELTY
"My child and My children, make it known to all that the road to Heaven was never easy, but you can make it much easier upon yourselves and your families if you follow the rules, if you follow the Commandments from the Eternal Father. The changes that We see taking place in My House and upon earth are not good, for many, many souls are falling into hell. And a great measure of responsibility now is with those who have been called to the holy orders, who have given themselves to represent Me upon earth. Shall I say that I have found many Judases now within My House? Cannot this situation be changed?
     "There is only one way that this can be stopped, this evil that has seeped into My House and into the hearts of all mankind. You must stop now your seeking for change and novelty. You must restore My Church to its former glory. Admit your error. Do not conceal this with pride and arrogance.
     "Remember there was the time when it was necessary to cast Luciel and his followers from Heaven--Lucifer, who now goads you on to hell with him, upon earth. He had to be cast from Heaven because he, too, became prideful and arrogant, seeking to make himself another living god. This cannot be done. You cannot be above your Creator.” – Jesus, September 7, 1978

GREAT ATTACK PLANNED AGAINST PRIESTHOOD
"O My children, your streets will run with blood because you have not listened. Pastors, a great attack is being planned against the priesthood. You will be shot down like targets in the streets. Prepare now and pray. Wear your sacramentals. Protect Our sheep now; the battle is raging.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1977

OnePeterFive.com reported on June 17, 2019:

by Steve Skojec

The “Instrumentum Laboris” (working document) for the upcoming Amazon Synod was released today. Currently available only in Italian and Spanish, the 45,000-word document — as expected — contains indications that like the two family synods that came before it, this October’s synod on issues facing the Church in the Amazon river basin will not remain local in its focus, but instead bring troubling developments to the entire Catholic Church.

From Diane Montagna at LifeSiteNews:

The 64-page document, which will form the basis of discussion at the upcoming Synod, suggests that local bishops’ conferences “adapt the Eucharistic rite to their cultures,” that the Church consider ordaining married “elders” to the priesthood, and that Synod fathers identify the “official ministry that can be conferred on women,” given their prominent role in Amazonian culture.

The document also suggests that it’s time to reconsider “the notion that the exercise of jurisdiction (power of government) must be linked in all areas (sacramental, judicial, administrative) and in a permanent way to the Sacrament of Holy Orders.”

The document focuses heavily on ecological issues, liturgical “inculturation,” community organizing, and ecumenism/inter-religious dialogue.

In one section (p. 39), we are treated to what appears to be a furtherance of the religious indifferentism that caused so much concern in the Abu Dhabi statement. It reads, in part*:

An insincere stance of openness to the other, as well as a corporatist attitude, which reserves salvation exclusively to one’s own creed, is destructive of the same creed. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus explained this to the inquiring lawyer. Love lived in any religion pleases God. “Through an exchange of gifts, the Spirit can lead us ever more fully into truth and goodness.” EG 246

It is not a stretch to re-imagine the operative sentence in the preceding paragraph as “Love lived in any relationship pleases God,” particularly as Christians around the world weather another barrage of LGBT messaging during so-called “Pride month” — during which Catholics in Genoa, Italy have been forbidden by Cardinal Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco from using the parishes of the diocese to offer public reparation for offenses committed in the name of “gay pride.”

To return to the synod document itself, the section on inculturation encourages marriage and “Christian initiation liturgies” to be “festive, with their own music and dances, using indigenous languages and clothing, in communion with nature and with the community.” It also asks for bishops’ conferences to “adapt the Eucharistic rite to their cultures,” and further:

Communities find it difficult to celebrate the Eucharist frequently because of the lack of priests. “The Church draws her life from the Eucharist” and the Eucharist builds the Church. Therefore, instead of leaving the communities without the Eucharist, change is requested in the criteria for selecting and preparing ministers authorized to celebrate the Eucharist.

Paragraph 129 of the document says:

Stating that celibacy is a gift for the Church, we ask that, for more remote areas in the region, study of the possibility of priestly ordination of elders, preferably indigenous … they can already have an established and stable family, in order to ensure the sacraments that they accompany and support the Christian life[.]

It has long been anticipated that addressing the insufficiency of priests in the region would lead to the relaxation of clerical celibacy around the world. As Bishop Schneider said last year, to grant such permission in the Amazon would mean that “celibacy would de facto be abolished” in the global Church.

German cardinal Walter Kasper, a close friend and adviser to Pope Francis, said in an interview earlier this month that “if the bishops agreed through mutual consent to ordained married men — those called viri probati — it’s my judgement that the pope would accept it.”

“Celibacy isn’t a dogma,” Kasper continued. “It’s not an unalterable practice.”

Last year, German bishops’ conference vice president Franz-Josef Bode announced that the German bishops will ask the pope for special permission to ordain “viri probati” if the pope allows permission to the Church in the Amazon region.

Paragraph 129 also says it is suggested that the bishops “identify the type of official ministry that can be conferred on women, considering the central role they play today in the Amazon Church.”

It is unclear what role, exactly, is anticipated in this section, considering that the pope appeared to shoot down hopes of ordained female deacons after the commission he appointed several years ago was unable to conclude that any such office had ever existed in the Church.

“[F]undamentally,” the pope said during an in-flight press conference in May 2019, “there is no certainty that [the ordination of women] was an ordination with the same form, in the same purpose as male ordination. Some say there is doubt, let’s go ahead and study. I am not afraid of studying, but up to this moment it does not proceed.”

CONSPIRACY IN THE CHURCH
"All of you who now plan in conspiracy in My House to bring about a new world religion, a religion that is not of the God you know, but a religion that is coming up from the depths of hell--deluded you are, O pastors! A delusion has been set upon the world so that those who are evil shall be cut down, and those who are lukewarm shall fall. And those who persevere to the end shall be saved.
    "My children, there are all manners of heretics in My House--a delusion of uniting all within My House. It is an error, and it will bring the shutting of many doors of My House.
    "You cannot change My House so that man will accept it in his liking. You must change man to be acceptable to his God. No man is above the Eternal Father. He permits you to go upon your way so that your final destructive act will turn about and send you deep down into the abyss.
    "I do not wish to repeat at this time the ever increasing list of abominations being committed in My House. I only say unto you to hasten, harken, and listen, for you shall not receive another warning of this nature." - Jesus, February 1, 1977

SUFFER GREATLY
"You will make it known to the world that those whom I have chosen to be shepherds of My flock will suffer greatly in the days ahead." - Jesus, September 7, 1974

NEED PRAYERS
"Many priests, bishops, cardinals in My Son’s House need prayers from the laity that they may be strong enough not to fall into the plan of the third-worlders, who are also known, My child, as the one-worlders. They seek to destroy My Son’s Church and build one on the creation of man." - Our Lady, October 6, 1976

RESPECT
"I repeat, My children, as I have told you in the past, that the great Council of Vatican II was manipulated by Satan. He sat there among you and he worked you like a chessboard. "What can you do now to recover? It is simple, My children: turn back and start over with the foundation given to you. You must bring respect back to your priesthood." - Our Lady, May 15, 1976

Our Lady of the Roses 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.

STEPS MUST BE FOLLOWED
"You must keep in your hearts the knowledge of the true priesthood of My Son. The steps for obtaining Holy Orders must be followed. They have been developed through heavenly guidance for reason. No women must enter onto the holy place of the sacrifice.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1978

BECAUSE TOO FEW HAVE CARED TO PRAY”
"My child and My children, you wonder now of the happenings in Rome. Much that has happened has taken place because too few have cared to pray and do penance for the priesthood. One day all will be made known to mankind.
     "I have come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man, in the will of the Eternal Father, to warn you, O priests in My Son's Church, His House upon earth, that you must turn back and start again.” – Our Lady, October 6, 1978

NOT TO COMPROMISE THE CHURCH
"My children, go to your bishops and tell them that all Heaven is disturbed, and Our hearts are torn by the laxity in attitude to pride and arrogance of the priesthood in My Son's Church. We ask for you to convert the unbelievers but not to join them, not to compromise My Son's Church. The reforms you are promoting will bring your destruction, for the sheep will leave.” – Our Lady, May 26, 1979

PRIEST  NOT  A  COMMON  MAN
"We do not find that you are continuing in your lives prayer and sacrifice--they are becoming a forgotten creed.  I admonish you now that you are not to set yourselves in as a common man.  When I chose you to represent Me as a priest in My House, you are not to make yourselves a common man, for you will not bring the souls into the Kingdom by joining them in their sin!  Yours must be a pure and shining example!  You must follow your vows of chastity and poverty.  Among you, we find little of this being practiced.  You wallow in all the filth of mankind!  You savor all the pleasures of the world and you are breaking the rules of the Father!  These include the Commandments given to mankind!  Wake up now, there is not much time left for you to make atonement!"  Jesus, August 14, 1974

STAND  FORTH
"My child, you will make it known to the Bishops of My Son's House, those in authority, that they must not compromise.  They do not gather souls by compromising their Faith.  They must stand forth as symbols of chastity, piety and humbleness.  What has become of these virtues in mankind?"  Our Lady, May 30, 1974

“RESTORE MY HOUSE NOW”
"Many mitres now hold major responsibility for the loss of their sheep. You have scattered them in all directions. And now what do you intend to do to restore My House? Restore My House now, for I shall return and I shall send you out of My House, forever lost to Heaven. Your rank has no precedence over another soul when this soul is being sent into the abyss. You hold a major responsibility for the loss of My sheep.” - Jesus, May 29, 1976 

ARROGANCE AND PRIDE
"Because of the arrogance and pride of My clergy, many of Our sheep, Our children, are lost to the Kingdom of Heaven. Many mitres are destined for the abyss. Heresy and apostasy abounds upon earth.” - Jesus, June 18, 1979 

SOME ARE A DISGRACE
“Clergy in My Son’s houses, you must show more honor to My Son. There are some who are a disgrace to their profession, leading others into ways of sin. Oh ye of little faith, why do you debase the young? You who have given themselves over to worldly pleasures and defamed their profession shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1993"Red Hats, bishops, you go about earth oppressing the children of God, but you neither chastise nor condemn the evil ones in your House, the Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 3, 1978

TRAITORS IN THE VATICAN
"Your newspapers, even those who call themselves Catholic, have fallen. They have now been given to the enemies of God, for when they seek to destroy the Church of the Son of God, they are enemies of God, and they are of the Antichrist.
    "Make it known, my child, that you all now are proceeding in the days of the Revelations. All will come to pass as given in the Book of life. There are many seers now throughout the world who will carry the message forward. Many must accept martyrdom, but the glory beyond the veil far exceeds the suffering of earth time.
    "Control--you must know, my child, and tell the world that satan has control now of many major positions in the House of God, in the Eternal City of Rome. Traitors surround your Vicar. His sufferings are great.
    "Already they have chosen his successor. But pray, my children, pray much that he does not be removed, for woe to the world! The crucifixion of the Mystical Body of Christ! Woe to mankind!" - St. Michael, August 21, 1974

HAVEN FOR HERETICS
"Hasten, harken, and listen! The Message from Heaven is going throughout your world. The Queen of Heaven, your Mother, has come to your earth to bring you the admonition from Heaven. Each man shall accept or reject this message in his free will. The sheep shall be separated from the goats.
    "Rome, Eternal City, the light is dim. Rome, haven for heretics and all manners of abomination, shall you not cleanse yourself before the Eternal Father places His hand upon you in chastisement? You have opened your doors to all manner of evil spirits.
    "Holiness and piety! Man--men of God, you must wear your garment of purity, dedication, and piety. What manner of foul deeds do you perform for the destruction of your sheep! For what? Material gain and pride and arrogance? You shall be cast into the abyss! Rank shall give you no advantage when you come over the veil." - St. Michael, December 24, 1975

THE  DEDICATED
"The dedicated, those who have taken a vow of poverty, chastity, and upholders of the Faith... whatever have you done to your Faith, My children? You have made it, in your struggles, unrecognized to many. You have sown confusion throughout your world with a change. And what change, but from satan, guided to destroy. 
     "The foundation of your Faith is My Son, was My Son, and will always be My Son." Our Lady, May 15, 1976

BASIC  TRUTH
"Turn back now, for your judgment will be far greater than those given to an ordinary man, for you as a priest of God have been chosen by the Father to represent My Son. And as such, your judgment for misleading and denying the basic truth of your Faith will be far greater!" Our Lady, October 6, 1974

HELL
"My child, I have to tell you in all truth, that there are many priests who have gone to hell because too few prayed for them; and they did not accept the road to penance, dedication, and truth." - Our Lady, June 6, 1987

NO PASSPORT
"Understand, My children, you do not pray enough for your priests! They too are human, and are subject to error and the deceits of satan. They too can lose their souls to satan unless you pray for them and do penance for them and make sacrifices for them. They do not have a special passport to Heaven, My children. They have to fight along the road filled with many thorns as you do." - Our Lady, September 7, 1977

INSTRUMENT
"You ask, My child, about the state of soul of the priesthood. This, My child, is not for you to question or judge. A human being he is, yes. Subject to error, yes. Subject to fall, yes. But still during the Consecration, and when he hears you in the confessional, the Holy Spirit comes down upon him, using him as an instrument to bring absolution to you." - Our Lady, October 6, 1973

MOCK
"I want you to stress, My child, the existence of hell and purgatory. It has been forgotten by many. Even the priests in My Son's churches have overlooked this essential knowledge. In fact, some now mock it as being untrue." - Our Lady, June 18, 1990

COMMON MAN?
"I admonish you now that you are not to set yourselves in as a common man. When I chose you to represent Me as a priest in My House--you are not to make yourselves a common man, for you will not bring the souls into the Kingdom by joining them in their sin. Yours must be a pure and shining example. You must follow your vows of chastity and poverty. Among you, We find little of this being practiced." - Jesus, August 14, 1974

“HIS HEART IS TORN ASUNDER”
"My Son, His heart is torn asunder by His representatives in the priesthood who now are Judases in His own House. They consort with the enemies of your God. In the manner of humanism and modernism, and an ecumenism that has been designed from hell, man now is plunging fast into making ready the full capitulation of My Son's Church and the world under a dictatorship of evil.” – Our Lady, November 22, 1976

SATAN SEEKS TO REMOVE THE PRIESTHOOD
Veronica - The priests are deceived, Our Lady said, in Her Son's House; they are deceived. They do not realize that satan has planned to dethrone them from their vocation. Little by little satan seeks to remove the priesthood.
    As a representative of Jesus, a legally-ordained priest must be the only instrument of God to bring the Body of Jesus to the multitudes. Only in a severe manner must a man--and this severe manner being the absence of a priest in the face of a death--then the priest will allow a deacon--a man, not a woman--a deacon, a man in the extremist emergency to take the Sacred Body of Jesus to a dying person. And that will be the only time. – November 19, 1977

PRIESTS CONDONING ABORTION AND HOMOSEXUALITY
"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
