Canadian Prime Minister Martin's self-appointment as "strong Catholic" may be refuted by Vatican...

"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also, My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession. 
     "What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor, but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of mortal nature!"
- Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1976 

LifeSite News reported on October 3, 2005:

A common Canadian political reality is the prevalence among federal politicians of ‘nominal’ Catholicism. In other words, Canada harbours many federal politicians who hypocritically enjoy the public esteem and respectability of calling themselves Catholic – often adding the self-appointed epithet “devout” – and love to be seen during election campaigns receiving communion from prominent bishops, but deny the Catholic religious tenets as it suits their political ambitions.

A particular case in point is the current Prime Minister, Paul Martin, who has presided over the passage of some of the most socially destructive legislation in Canada’s history and who continues vocally to insist on his status as a “strong” Catholic. The recent visit of Mexican President Vincente Fox provided Martin with yet another occasion to appropriate the title despite the fact that he spearheaded the homosexual “marriage” bill, passage of which is only weeks in the past.

“I am a practising Catholic, in fact I am a strong Catholic,” Martin said at a news conference with the Mexican President. “But I am also a legislator and I believe in the separation of church and state.”

Martin said, “Have I discussed (this) with senior churchmen, with bishops? The answer is yes, I have. But as far as any further comment, I'm a legislator and that's public and I will comment on my public position. As a Catholic, that's my faith and I'll keep that to myself.”

Martin’s pretensions however, are disputed by the leadership of the Church to which he claims to belong. Even some Canadian bishops, who for the most part have for decades maintained a stoic silence on the scandal, are saying that the synod of bishops under way in Rome is likely to result in a correction for politicians who deny Catholic doctrine with their actions and still presume to receive Communion.

Most Rev. Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Edmonton, said Thursday, “If it was clear that the politician ... manifestly just rejected the Gospel, then I think the bishop would say to that person, ‘Come to mass, listen to the words of the Gospel, but it's really not appropriate for you to receive communion.’”

The strongest episcopal voice has been that of Bishop Fred Henry of Calgary who has written numerous pastoral letters condemning homosexual union legislation and the “Catholic” politicians who supported it. In his April 2004 pastoral letter, Henry said of Paul Martin, “his recently clarified position re abortion and same sex unions is a source of scandal in the Catholic community and reflects a fundamental moral incoherence.”

The synod’s working document which sets the agenda for the meeting, says, “The faithful frequently receive holy communion without even thinking that they might be in the state of mortal sin.”

Pope Benedict XVI has already hinted that problems like this will be taken seriously at the synod when he said in his opening speech, “A tolerance which allows God as a private opinion but which excludes Him from public life, from the reality of the world and our lives, is not tolerance but hypocrisy.”

“When man makes himself the only master of the world and master of himself, justice cannot exist. Then, arbitrariness, power and interests rule.” Too many Catholic lives could be compared to "vinegar rather than wine," because of the indifference to God, the pontiff said.

 

"My Son is much grieved, My child, in the manner in which many come to Him in His House. They come with disrespect. They do not have love for Him in their hearts.
     "My child, please, they lead themselves onto the road to satan. They must not accept My Son with sin in their hearts. Many do not go to Our representatives. They accept My Son with sin on their souls! Shout it, My child, from the roofs: you must honor the Eucharist!"
- Our Lady of the Roses, November 23, 1974

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:

GREATEST SORROW
"The greatest sorrow that smites My Heart, My children, is the desecration to My Son's Body. These abominable acts are being committed by His own in His houses, His churches upon earth.
    "I repeat again that none shall bring the sacred Body of My Son, His Body and Blood, to another but a legally-ordained priest with consecrated hands. I say, My children, consecrated hands, blessed hands, washed clean by the Holy Spirit! No man shall render excuses for defilement of My Son's Body." - Our Lady, May 14, 1977 

REVERENCE
"My children, you must join your hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of My Son. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and respect. Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned to My Son's Houses, Churches, throughout the world, reverence, holiness, and respect from the beginning to the end of the sacred service!" - Our Lady, September 6, 1975 

KNEEL
"My children, kneel before your God in the Eucharist. Do not stand like you stand in meeting halls, but kneel and give Him a just love and observance of honor." - Our Lady, July 14,1979 

BOW  YOUR  KNEES
"Remember, My child, shout it from the roof. My Son is with you until the end of your time. It is truly His Presence, His Real Presence, His divine Presence, His Body and His Blood. Do not treat Him with disrespect! Bow your knees; cover your head! Do not chew Him!" - Our Lady, June 8, 1974 

REAL PRESENCE
"You violate your sacred trust. You have taken the Body of your Creator, the Son of your God in the Trinity, and violated Him. You must do your eating at home! When you come to the great Sacrifice, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you come in reverence. You must go down upon your knees and do penance now for the offenses to your God! ...
    "As in the past, cannot you recognize the mystery of Heaven and earth? Did not the staff of Moses turn into a serpent in the will of God? Did not the river in Egypt turn into blood in the will of God? And cannot God, in His will, come to you changing the bread and wine into the actual Presence, the real Presence, the factual Presence of His Body and Blood?" - St. Michael, February 1, 1977 

GOODNESS AND LOVE
"You must enter the houses of your God properly clothed and with goodness of heart, not disporting yourselves as pagans.
     "A quietude must be returned to the House of God. You come to communicate, My children, in spirit and body with My Son Who is with you in your Eucharist in Spirit and Body, a true physical Presence. Many now are despoiling His Body. How many have set themselves to solace Him in the evil that is about the world now?   
     "Yes, My child, it is a sad but true fact that many have given Him again to the despoiler. There are within your country many churches of the adversary—satan. You must not take the Body of My Son in your hand! You open the door for the entrance of evil spirits to defile My Son's Body! The consecrated fingers of a duly ordained man of God, the priest, shall place My Son into your mouth, and you must absorb His Body with goodness and love." - Our Lady, March 22, 1975 

SATANISTS DEFILE THE HOST
"The agents of hell seek to ravish My Son's Body, My child. Protect Him! Do not allow the agents of satan to desecrate Him! Foul and unclean hands snatch Him. My child, save My Son! I plead with My children not to place My Son's Body in unclean hands. You must not give My Son's Body over to unclean hands. O woe! Whatever shall become of this degenerate generation!" - Our Lady, November 23, 1974 

SACRILEGE
"My Son is not pleased with the manner in which His Body and Blood is being given to all of the humans upon earth.
    "Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, June 30, 1984 

HONOR
"All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My Son's House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned into a meeting hall." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979 

DESECRATION
"My child, you ask why I cry? I shed tears of great anguish. I watch anew the desecration to My Son's Body being committed upon earth.
     "None shall place their hands upon His Body! My Son has given you in trust those He has chosen among mankind to represent Him, your priests. None others shall carry My Son to mankind! You shall not defile His Body by giving Him into the hands of women, or those that have not been prepared by the Father as legally ordained priests in the houses of God. Laziness, preoccupied with the world and the pleasures of the flesh! Return to your habits and set an example as a man of God in the House of God-an example that will gather the sheep, not scatter them!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1974 

PURIFIED
"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also, My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession. 
     "What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor, but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of mortal nature!" - Our Lady, September 7, 1976 

MAN OF GOD
"A priest is a man of God, chosen solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God, my sisters and brothers. As a man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior.
     "I tell you, my brothers and sisters, that none shall take in his or her hands the purified Body of your Savior! Only the consecrated fingers and hands of the representative of Christ the Lord shall give and bring this gift to mankind!" - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975
