Nigerian
bishops put the U.S. bishops to shame: First to publicly recognize Bayside,
also rank #1 in Mass attendance in the world (94% Mass attendance vs. 17% in the
U.S.) "Yes, My child, I am going about the world appearing in various places, and I have reason for all. One day, My child, the waters will come up at Bayside, and I will appear over the old church building in Bayside, New York. Your Bishop then cannot deny My Appearances." - Our Lady, May 17, 1986
I continue to be scandalized at the cowardice ruling the U.S. Catholic hierarchy. As we have mentioned before, Veronica Lueken once received a confidential letter from a U.S. bishop, who stated that he believed in Our Lady of the Roses apparitions, that he knew the apparitions were true.
However... he asked that
his name not be mentioned, that he remain anonymous. Veronica honored this
request of the bishop, so we do not know his name.
In 50+ years after Our Lady appeared at Bayside, New York, this is the only U.S. bishop to come forward in any way, although timidly, like Nicodemus who "visited Jesus by night" (John 3:2; John 7:50).
Archbishop Viganò states that the apostasy in
the Church is now visible even to the most moderate people:
"I tell you all nothing that you do not already know, when I say that the Church of Christ is undergoing a very serious crisis, and that the Catholic Hierarchy has failed in the serious obligations of its apostolic mission and is in a large part corrupt. The origins of this crisis and this apostasy are now apparent even to the most moderate." (Read more)
Cardinal Burke also referred to apostasy, and
Our Lady's warning at Fatima:
"The more
appropriate word would be the one Our Lady used in her message of Fatima —
apostasy. There can be apostasy within the Church and this, in fact, is what is
going on." (Read

More than thirty years ago, Fr.
Kenneth Baker had this take on the condition of the U.S. Catholic Church:
"Even though the entrenched bureaucracy will not admit it, the Church here [in the U.S.] is in bad shape. There has been a loss of morale and elan. But what should one expect when most Catholic children do not know the basics of the faith, when heresy is openly taught and defended in Catholic universities, when seminarians have declined from 48,000 to about 5,000, and when [only] 14 million out of 55 million Catholics [i.e., 25%] got to Church regularly on Sunday? It is not an exaggeration to say that the Church here is in a crisis." (Fr. Kenneth Baker, Homiletic and Pastoral Review, November 1991)
Many opine on whether or not the world is
actually in the great apostasy mentioned in the Holy Bible (2 Thessalonians 2:
1-3). But opinions are a dime a dozen. What a gift we have in Our Lady of the
Roses who is not a sinner but full of grace, with perfect knowledge and
accuracy in regard to Catholic theology. She cannot lie and cannot be deceived.
Our Lady confirms we are now in the great apostasy:
"O My children, cannot you recognize the signs of your times? The great apostasy is upon you!" (December 7, 1976; read more)
The only nation in the world (so far) that has bishops
with enough courage to publicly profess to the truth of the Bayside apparitions
is Nigeria. How is the Catholic Church doing in Nigeria, under the leadership of
these courageous bishops?
"According to the data, Nigeria and Kenya have the highest proportion of Catholics who attend Mass weekly or more, with Nigeria as the clear leader. Ninety-four percent of Catholics in Nigeria say they attend Mass at least weekly. In Kenya, the figure was 73 percent, and in Lebanon it was 69 percent." (read more)
94% Mass attendance in Nigeria. 17% Mass attendance in the United States.
Furthermore, Nigeria accounts for the highest percentage of Christian martyrs:
"Nigeria has become the world’s leading source of Christian martyrs, reportedly
accounting for 90 percent of Christians killed for their faith worldwide in
2018. Nigeria has become the world’s leading source of Christian martyrs,
reportedly accounting for 90 percent of Christians killed for their faith
worldwide in 2018." (Read

Nigeria is a stronghold of
Catholicism. Furthermore, at least two Nigerian bishops have visited Our Lady of
the Roses Shrine on June 18th vigils, and publicly professed their belief in the
Bayside apparitions. They are not hiding under a rock or hiding their lamp stand
under a bushel basket (Matthew 5:15)
One of these two Nigerian
bishops is Bishop Matthew Hasan Kukah of
the diocese of Sokoto, Nigeria. He led the Rosary procession at the June 18,
2016 vigil (pictured above).
Africa is so far removed from
the alphabet obsession and sodomy prevalent in the United States. A reporter
asked the President of Uganda about a meeting with the LGBT community and the whole
crowd laughed as did the President of Uganda (watch
video clip).
And you wonder why things are
such a mess in the Catholic Church within the United States? Bishops and priests
cannot even publicly acknowledge Our Lady and defend her Bayside apparitions, in
a span of over 50 years. The United States was visited by Our Lady in a
marvelous way and the priests and bishops were too ashamed to even stand with
their heavenly Mother, the Queen of Heaven.
Did the devil successfully
inspire enough scorn for Our Lady of the Roses in the world, that the American
priests and bishops were afraid to even speak of it? Are they ashamed? Great saints
would not deny their Catholic faith even under the threat of torture and death,
but a little scorn and mockery and the U.S. bishops wither away in fear?
Fear of public opinion rules
many of them.
I'm afraid we have to look
outside the United States at this time in history, to witness what a courageous
Catholic bishop looks like.
Our Lady of the Roses said it
best:
"These
hearts of Our pastors have been hardened. Their ears are clogged, My child; they
do not listen. Their eyes are blinded, not seeing the miracles We send to open
them.
"Pastors, do you reject the Message from Heaven because you fear it? Or
do you prefer to ignore it because it will expose your error?" (Our Lady of the
Roses, October 6, 1975)
Oh, about those miracles.
Msgr. Otto Garcia, once the Chancellor of the diocese of
Brooklyn, stated in a TV interview:
"If the amount of cures that are
claimed were true, Lourdes and Fatima are nothing, compared to Bayside."
In the same breath, the diocese of Brooklyn officially claims that there is nothing supernatural about Bayside.
The U.S. bishops struggled even to use the word
"homosexuality" as the root cause of the "scandal of the millennium," the
sex-abuse crisis. Bishop Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Nebraska blasted the U.S.
bishops at this time, calling them, "this hapless bench of bishops." In a June
15, 2002 email post by National Review Online’s Rod Dreher:
"This 'hapless bench of bishops,' as Bp. Bruskewitz called
them tonight, couldn't even agree that the role of dissent and homosexuality in
this catastrophe was worth studying. The conclusion is obvious: if reform is to
come, it's not going to come from the bishops." (Read
more)
In fact, 2/3 of the U.S. bishops have let accused priests
continue to work in ministry.
Much of Africa has no such problem. Bishops and even
leaders of state in Africa stand firm in the Gospel condemnation of
homosexuality, one of the four sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance (Genesis
18: 20-21; Jude 1: 7).
Bishop Joseph Mwongela of the Diocese of Kitui, Kenya has affirmed their rejection of homosexuality in their country, and the rejection of Western nations trying to impose their pagan beliefs on Kenya. The bishops emphasized the need to resist immorality, "even if that means martyrdom, to be ready and firm to stand for [the truth].” (Read more)
In Uganda, Bishop
Reuben Kisembo urged Catholics to fight LGBT propaganda
and homosexuality:
"In the Diocese of Ruwenzori, Bishop Reuben Kisembo proclaimed an Ash Wednesday
message imploring the faithful to fast not just from food, but from all forms of
'evil.'
'As [a] Church, we condemn the act of homosexuality, corruption,
greed, selfishness, violation of human rights; let us do good to the needy,
orphans, widows, elderly, disabled. Let us overcome evil with good,' he said." (Read
more)
The President of Uganda Yoweri Museveni shares the same
fidelity to the Gospel message, and condemns the promotion of the LGBT agenda in
Africa, calling homosexuals "deviants":
"During the same parliamentary speech, Museveni called gay
people “deviants” and said that homosexuality was not normal.
'Why? Is it by
nature or nurture. We need to answer these questions. We need a medical opinion
on that. We shall discuss it thoroughly,' he added." (Read
more)
President Museveni of Uganda has urged African countries
to ‘save the world’ from the LGBT agenda (Read
more).
He also blasted the Biden-Harris administration for interference in his country: "We don't need your aid, we are a very rich country! In fact aid is part of the problem!" (Read more)
Dr. Steve Turley amusingly covered the U.S. liberals'
reactions to Uganda's faithful and forcefully rejection of sodomy (watch
video).
In the U.S.? We trip over ourselves to use the correct
pronouns, demonize those who quote the numerous biblical censures against
homosexuality, and even have Congressmen who seek to deny aid to countries that
oppose the LGBT agenda (Read
more).
As Our Lady said, the United States has become "a true
picture of Sodom and Gomorrha":
"Your country, under the label of liberalism, rationalism,
humanism, all manners of fallacy, has now committed the most abominable of acts!
Justice, law, discipline are being replaced by all manners of evil,
permissiveness, loss of knowledge of sin, debauchery . . . a true picture of
Sodom and Gomorrha!" (Our Lady, March 18, 1976;
read more)
The
corrupt U.S. bishops
Let's
be honest: A revolution has occurred within the Catholic Church since Vatican
II. Cardinal Ottaviani, one of the few to actually read the Third Secret of
Fatima, asked all the bishops at Vatican II, “Are these Fathers planning
a revolution?” (Read
more) Interestingly, Our Lady of Fatima specified that the Third Secret was to be
revealed in 1960, and it was in 1960 that Pope John XXIII first announced he
would be calling Vatican II (1962-1965). In 1946, Sister Lucy was asked
when the Third Secret would be revealed to the world, and without hesitation she
said, "In 1960." In 1955 Cardinal Ottaviani asked her why it
was not to be opened before 1960. She told him, "because then it will
seem clearer (mais claro)."
Who is dumb enough not to make the connection?
Archbishop
Vigano states that the post-concilar revolution has almost entirely eclipsed the
Church of Christ:
"the 'conciliar church,' that is, of that subversive organization born almost imperceptibly from the Council and which in these sixty years has almost totally eclipsed the Church of Christ" (Read more).
But did the hierarchy obey and release the Third Secret in
1960, as commanded by God? Non serviam.
Did the hierarchy consecrate Russia, when commanded by God
in 1929? Non serviam.
Recall that just two years later, in 1931, Jesus told
Sister Lucy what would eventually happen to the Pope and bishops for disobeying
His command:
"Make
it known to My ministers that given they follow the example of the King of
France in delaying the execution of My request, that they will follow him into
misfortune. It will never be too late to have recourse to Jesus and Mary."
Did the Vatican allow the Bishop of Fatima to keep the
Third Secret and release it, as was his duty as commanded by God? Non
serviam.
Did the Vatican have permission from God to change every
aspect of the Catholic Church since Vatican II? Non serviam.
Did the U.S. bishops investigate the doctrine, miracles,
seer and thousands of witnesses to the Bayside apparitions in a sincere attempt
to find the truth? Non serviam.
So you see, the priests and bishops who claim the
Baysiders are the disobedient ones are really engaging in ongoing projection and
gaslighting of the laity. It is they who have been disobedient to God, it is
they who have disconnected themselves from 2,000 years of Catholic doctrine,
tradition, truth and reality.
As Jesus told Veronica Lueken, it is the clergy who are
the disobedient ones:
"I have asked you in the past to refrain from rebuilding My Church into a church for man. I am the foundation! I have set down the rules. And of all the disobedient cries, of disobedience against My little ones, it is you who are disobedient to your God! It is you who have been disobedient to the Vicars I sent to you!" (Jesus, October 6, 1978; read more)
The liberal American hierarchy have perpetuated a false narrative against the Bayide apparitions to deflect from their own laxity, heresy and moral corruption. Unfortunately, many of the weak and misled laity fail to recognize the deceit of the bishops and fall in line, further propagating this false narrative against Bayside throughout the world.
I
was extremely blessed to have met a Bayside-believing priest, Fr. Matthew
Peraino, when I was first inquiring about the Bayside apparitions. I asked him
why he believed in Bayside. He told me, "I did my homework." And that he did.
Not only did he read all the Bayside messages, he also visited Our Lady of the
Roses Shrine. He admitted that priests, "we were all deceived", regarding the
changes in the Church. He stopped giving Communion in the hand, as Our Lady of
the Roses repeatedly requested in her messages (Read
more) and began to celebrate the Latin Mass again.
Fr. Henryk Kaminski wrote in 1991, "I do not have the least doubt about Our Lady's apparitions at Bayside and the true situation of the Catholic Church in our times."
Fr. Robert Skurla is one of the more widely known Bayside
priests. Once the International Chaplain of the Blue Army, Fr. Skurla gave a
marvelous sermon promoting the Bayside apparitions at St. Peter's Cathedral in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He stated,
“The
messages of Bayside restored my confidence in the Catholic Church once more. I
will stake my reputation, if that means anything, on the doctrine contained in
the messages. The doctrine is the same as I was trained in over the years.” (Read
more)
Then there is Fr. Michael Burke of Corpus Christi, Texas.
He frequently went to the June 18th prayer vigils and wrote many letters in
defense of Bayside. He repeatedly emphasized the diocese of Brooklyn did not investigate the
Bayside apparitions. In a letter dated January 23, 1988 he wrote:
"Actually I challenge that
statement of the Brooklyn Chancery Office because a properly conducted
investigation has never taken place. To verify this, let Fr. Dietzen try to get
a transcript of the so-called investigation to discover why the statements of
Mrs. Lueken should be condemned."
And there is Fr. Bernard Nunes of India, who we mentioned
previously. He wrote perhaps the most thorough defense of Bayside by any priest
in the world (Read more).
Cardinal Medeiros of Boston was given the Bayside Blue
Book for examination. His secretary, Fr. Oliviera also viewed the Bayside
messages and listened to the audio tapes. In an April 24, 1990 taped interview
with the woman who passed Our Lady’s message on to the Cardinal and Fr.
Oliveira, she repeated what she had been told:
“Fr.
Oliveira, said to me, ‘I did not know exactly how to advise you on this matter.
I told you before the Church acts very prudent, and rightfully so on these types
of events. And after reading the book and listening to the messages on tape, I
could not find any heresy in them.’ Then to my surprise he said, ‘I gave the
Blue Book and these tapes of the messages to Cardinal Medeiros to read and
listen.’… Fr. Oliveira told me, he told the Cardinal, that he could not find any
heresy, and he replied, nor could he. And that on all matters of the Catholic
Faith discussed in the book, and also given on the taped messages, they were
free from error.”
When questioned about the Bayside apparitions we have the statement of Msgr. Diviney, Vicar General of the Brooklyn diocese: "If it is a genuine manifestation from God, the truth will come out" (The New York Times, December 2, 1973).
We also have the statements of two chancellors of the
Brooklyn diocese, Cardinal Bevilacqua and Msgr. Otto Garcia.
In 1982, Cardinal Bevilacqua stated, "If that [Bayside]
is authentic, we're in two different churches." (Our Sunday Visitor,
August 8, 1982) Cardinal Bevilacqua, as a Monsignor and chancellor for the
diocese of Brooklyn stated, "She's [Veronica] not saying anything directly
contrary to the faith. . . ." (Boston Herald American, December 27, 1978).
Msgr. Otto Garcia gave us this gem of a quote in a TV interview: "If the amount of cures that are claimed were true, Lourdes and Fatima are nothing, compared to Bayside."
It needs to be repeated that Bishop Francis Mugavero of
Brooklyn (including his successor Bishop Thomas Daily) never interviewed
Veronica Lueken. They were afraid of her. Veronica told me personally on March
3, 1992 that she and her husband Arthur had made an appointment to see Bishop Mugavero
at the Brooklyn chancery.
Veronica was waiting outside the bishop's office and was
eventually told that the bishop would not be able to see her. Veronica told me
that she thought the bishop went out the back door.
And this is what the U.S. bishops claim is a thorough
investigation of an apparition? How great is the deceit of the hierarchy! But
this is not my words, but Our Lady's:
"O My children, Rome is in great danger. There is much
deceit throughout the hierarchy. It will be cardinal against cardinal and bishop
against bishop, for satan has set himself in their ranks.”
(Our Lady, May 28, 1977)
Many bishops have kicked the can down the road on Bayside,
which to them is a hot potato they didn't want to deal with so the bishops
deceitfully said that there was nothing supernatural going on. The bishops had
to give this false pretext, or otherwise they would have to acknowledge the
massive amount of authentic miracles sent by God to open their eyes and ears.
Then they would have to reverse course on all the changes they had inflicted on the Church since Vatican II.
Similarly, many "good" priests have deferred judgment on Bayside, not because they don't believe it is true or couldn't find the truth if they investigated Bayside on their own, but because it would expose them to ridicule and perhaps the loss of their parish assignment, or the chance at the bishop's mitre one day. The contempt and ridicule against the Bayside apparitions is intense (as intended by satan) which blocks the timid and lukewarm from investigating Bayside and spreading this message.
The Catholic media also seems to have a hired-hand approach to the Bayside apparitions and will not do their due diligence. Career concerns, reputation, financial impact and expediency close the mouths of most.
As Bishop Fulton Sheen said, "The refusal to take sides on great
moral issues is itself a decision. It is a silent acquiescence to evil."
It is reported that Fr. John Hardon, S.J. gave a retreat
to a group of religious sisters (many of whom were Baysiders) and he mentioned
that the Bayside apparition passed all ten points of Fr. Augustin Poulain's test
for a true apparition (The Graces of interior Prayer). Fr. Hardon
couldn't comprehend how Our Lady would condemn a practice (Communion in the
hand) that Pope John Paul II had permitted, so he personally did not believe
that Bayside was true. Around a decade later, Fr. Hardon would change his
position on Communion in the hand, with his profound statement on November 1,
1997:
"Behind Communion in the hand—I wish to repeat and make as
plain as I can—is a weakening, a conscious, deliberate weakening of faith in the
Real Presence.
"And the American hierarchy took most—three times, those
wanting Communion in the hand kept pushing and pushing. Finally, meantime, I was
asked by the vice-president of the Catholic Conference of Bishops to defend
Communion on the tongue, which I did. To get enough votes to give Communion in
the hand, bishops who were retired, bishops who were dying, were solicited to
vote to make sure that the vote would be affirmative in favor of Communion in
the hand. Whatever you can do to stop Communion in the hand will be blessed by
God.”
God's people must always beware of false shepherds, those who use their office for their own corrupt and sinful ends. Take for example the two wicked priests who targeted the holy Susanna in the Old Testament. Only a courageous boy named Daniel stood against these corrupt priests and called them liars (Deuteronomy 13: 1-62). The courageous Daniel told the people, "return to judgment, for they have borne false witness against her."
In the time of King Henry VIII, all Catholic bishops in England reportedly had mistresses except St. John Fisher (the one bishop that opposed King Henry VIII and was martyred).
And then there is the case of St. Joan of Arc, who was used by God to save France. A politically motivated bishop accused St. Joan of being a witch and even put her on trial. While she was imprisoned, the mob got hold of her and burned her at the stake. The bishop was in earshot of the saint as she was dying. St. Joan was heard to say to the bishop as she died, "Bishop, I die through you."
Twenty-five years later in 1456 an ecclesiastical court declared St. Joan’s trial and condemnation by the Bishop of Beauvais invalid due to factual and legal errors.
So too, the wicked priests and bishops of our day have borne false witness against Veronica Lueken, have denied the thousands of genuine miracles from God, and have rejected the perfect doctrine in the message that condemns the very wicked clergy who oppose this message.
The 8th Commandment is "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
But the breaking of the 8th Commadment en masse is the foundation for the U.S.
bishops' conspiracy against Veronica Lueken and the Bayside apparitions. She is
the innocent victim of the bishops' corruption and heresy. She was sacrificed
for the sins of the United States, the apostate clergy and the sins of the
world. It was expedient that the corrupt clergy lie about Veronica and Bayside,
rather than convert from their sins, from their many errors.
Here's just one example to illustrate how the clergy deals with Bayside. In 1987, upon hearing that John Paul II would be visiting the Los Angeles area on September 15, 1987, a Bayside believer named Craig Freis set out (with a press pass) to ask Pope John Paul II what he thought of Veronica Lueken and the Bayside apparitions. Craig Freis slipped past the ropes in front of the news reporters at the LAX tarmac after the Pope had landed. With microphone in hand, he went right up to the Pope as he walked on the tarmac.
One of the news networks had Cardinal John O'Connor as a guest commentator on the Pope's historic visit. When the audio picked up Craig Freis asking the Pope about Veronica Lueken and the Bayside apparitions, the news anchor turned to Cardinal O'Connor and asked him about Bayside. Cardinal O'Connor evaded, "She's not in my diocese!"
Nothing better summarizes how the U.S. bishops have dealt with Bayside. It is all evade, deflect and evade.
The Bayside message has warned that the clergy have become "soft and pliable" to the enemy:
"Awaken from your slumber, O pastors! You have become soft and pliable to the enemy, because you have fallen asleep on your job! Compromise! Change! If you have a solid foundation-and you were given a solid foundation-what need is there to change, for you seek then to change the foundation. You are chipping away at My Church; you are burrowing like rats into the foundation of My Church." (Jesus, June 12, 1976)
God has providentially entrusted the solutions to the
world's various problems with His humble and lowly servants, the foremost being
the Blessed Virgin Mary. To obtain the solution to many of the world's problems,
sinners must humble themselves and go to those whom God has chosen. As Our Lady
exclaims in her Magnificat, "He
hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble." (Luke 1:
52)
The
U.S. is not Portugal or Nigeria
Unlike Portugal where the bishops and government leaders
fully embraced Our Lady and her message at Fatima (and consecrated the entire
country to Our Lady within 14 years of the Fatima apparitions on May 13, 1931),
the U.S. bishops were not so noble.
Not only did they not honor Our Lady, they denied she had
even appeared at Bayside, New York and denied anything miraculous had even occurred
(while simultaneously avoiding any investigation of the miraculous cures and
sidestepping any interrogation of the seer, Veronica Lueken).
The U.S. bishops are living out of their heads, passing
judgment on Bayside without evidence, without investigation. It is heartbreaking
to say it, but the U.S. bishops have conspired together to silence the voice of
Our Lady, have lied to the Catholic laity regarding the Bayside apparitions, and
participated in a criminal conspiracy to hide their own error and corruption.
Jesus warned that the United States has sought to
silence the voice of His Mother:
"Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!" (Jesus, June 5, 1975; read more)
Tommy Robinson, a free speech activist in Great Britain, released on Good Friday 2023 a documentary entitled Silenced. Tommy Robinson states:
"The news is how we find out what is happening in the world, is how we form our opinions. Opinions based on facts. That's the key: facts. Facts should be delivered to you by journalists based on the truth. But what if what they are delivering you isn't the truth? What if the stories are manipulated to make you think a certain way, to follow a certain narrative, different people's agendas? And what do they do to those who go against that mainstream narrative, those who try to expose the truth?"
And what have modernist priests and bishops in the U.S. done to the Baysiders in the past decades? They have used every perjorative imaginable against them. Furthermore, because most Baysiders kneel and receive holy Communion only from a priest (as directed by Our Lady at Bayside), they have unlawfully been denied holy Communion more often than any segment of the Catholic population. Meanwhile, pro-abortion "Catholic" politicians are allowed to receive holy Communion (even though this is a sacrilege, even though Church law forbids this). These pro-abort politicians are welcomed to receive Communion by some of the same clergy who simultaneously deny Communion to good Catholics who believe in Bayside.
Our Lady of the Roses message has been providentially given in
such a way that the arrogance of our generation may be exposed. The Bayside
message is so simply
that a child can understand it, yet this message will trip up the intellectually
proud and the arrogant in
a manner similar to the Holy Scriptures, the Bible.
The followers of Our Lady of the Roses, who are witnesses
to the miracles and miraculous phenomena that have been occurring at the
apparition site for years, have suffered for decades under a duplicitous,
effeminate, and chameleon-like clergy
who are not interested in finding the truth about Bayside, nor conveying this
truth to the Catholic faithful. Doctors and nurses have
used the word "miracle" as professional witnesses to the
numerous miraculous cures including
Jack Irey,
Dr. Odilia Leiva
Bejórquez, Susan Hayward,
and
Wanda Dunbar, to name a few.
The clergy and much of the Catholic faithful have hardened their hearts to Jesus and Our Lady and their message at Bayside. Sadly, this is one of their last warnings given the world before the Great Chastisement. Numerous souls have been lost, and will be lost, because people will not repent. Many bishops are on the road to hell, because they will not repent:
"Awaken now from your sleep before it is too late, for you, too, shall
burn. Already many mitres are in hell, forever condemned to damnation.”
(May 30, 1978; Read more)
Even though most of the Bayside prophecies have been
fulfilled, even though the Bayside message aligns with 2,000 years of Catholic
doctrine and tradition (while many priest sermons do not), the clergy continue
to kick the can down the road regarding the Bayside apparitions, washing their hands like
Pilate: there is no strong opposition to corruption, heresy and apostasy within
the Church. They look to others to solve the problems in the Church or throw in
the towel because the fight against corruption is just too hard for them. They wait for
a future bishop to rule on the Bayside apparitions, content in their laxity to
just lay low, protect their
career, their reputation, their materialistic and decadent lifestyle. Isn't that the modus operandi of a hired hand who
flees when the wolf approaches? (John 10:12) So when the Great Chastisement comes,
after decades of a
minimal response to God's miracles and warnings (pagans and atheists responded
more to God's call than most bishops and priests), how just will God's punishment
be?
How many echoes of similar corruption do we find in the
Old Testament? "How long will
this people spurn Me? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all
the signs I have performed among them?" (Numbers 14: 11)
Jesus and Our Lady at Bayside are very blunt with the lax
and corrupt bishops and priests. Our Lady has called the current generation
of bishops "despoilers of the human race":
"Cardinals, bishops, priests of the order of God, if you
are guilty turn from your ways. I make no accusations by name though the list is
growing long to the Eternal Father. You who were given the God-given grace to be
leaders of the flock have now scattered our sheep. Bishops, what has become of
your vocations. You are becoming despoilers of the human race. You cannot hide
your sins from the Eternal Father. Turn back while there is still time!"
(Our Lady, June 18, 1993)
Jesus has stated the clergy "are demonizing the sheep":
"My clergy, you must take yourselves out of the world. You are secularizing My Church, but you are also demonizing the sheep, subjecting them to falling into the abyss, because--though the mercy of the Eternal Father is all-knowing, and His heart is merciful, many of Our sheep are falling into the abyss because many of My priests are on the road to perdition and taking others with them.” (Jesus, May 23, 1979)
The Catholic hierarchy has, for the most part, allowed the great apostasy to rush into the Church and collapse Christian civilization. They did not stand fast in the truth and tradition of the holy Roman Catholic Church. Our Lady of the Roses has provided a beacon of light and truth to a world and a Church that has fallen into darkness. The great apostasy came when the clergy no longer obeyed God and His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. The clergy struck out on a path of their own and reaped the great apostasy.
The Bayside messages were always true, right from the beginning:
"If, then, the doctrine taught by one who claims to be sent by God to speak in His name to the whole human race is noble, elevating, in harmony with reason, satisfying to human aspirations, and beneficial to society; if this doctrine is confirmed by evident miracles and prophecies; and if it gains such a firm hold on the minds and hearts of men as to work a moral revolution in the world--the teacher has made good his claim. He is a messenger of God and his doctrine is divine." (Fr. John Laux, Catholic Apologetics: A Course in Religion, Book IV)
God has always warned His holy people through the prophets: "For the Lord God doth nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7).
Jeremiah warned Israel and the religious leaders that God would use the Babylonians to punish them for their unfaithfulness.
In this generation, God has warned us that Russia and their allies are the instruments for our chastisement.
Our Lady at Bayside has warned the corrupt clergy that they must restore the Catholic Church, or they will receive the sword:
"The foundation for My Son's House has always been firm. You shall not use your rank in My Son's House to whittle away at the walls! You are going like rodents burrowing into the foundation of My Son's House! I do not need to name you with names, My children. You who wear the Red Hats and the Purple Hats, you know who I speak to! When are you going to cast aside the darkness from your hearts? Restore My Son's House to its proper foundation, or else you will receive the sword! Many mitres are falling into hell!" (Our Lady, February 1, 1975)
Holy priests such as Fr. Chad Ripperger have warned of the evil high within the Church:
"We have to accept the fact (part of the elephant in the room), is the fact that we have people in high places in the Church, running parts and aspects of the Church, who are evil. This is something we just simply have to accept. I'm sorry, but when every single thing you do maximizes damage, that is malice. I mentioned that the last time I was here. That is malice. Everything they do is just to cause damage. They promote the guys that are openly homosexual and things of that sort. They don't do anything about a certain country of bishops who are completely schismatic or heretical in their thinking. And yet the minute a priest basically wants to get up there and teach authentic Catholic doctrine they pull the plug on him." (Watch video)
The corrupt clergy are obstinately riding the train of the great apostasy to the end, unto the Great Chastisement. All the changes in the Church, the half-truths, heresy and immorality continue. It is only the holy Catholics and remnant of holy priests holding firm to Catholic doctrine and morality that seem to elicit any sort of censure from the lukewarm or apostate clergy; the heretical and apostate are often praised and promoted. In all this, Jesus at Bayside reassures us that the gates of hell will not prevail: "The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church, for a cleansing will come about and all that is rotten will fall! And My Church shall be restored to its former glory!" (Jesus, June 9, 1979)
But Our Lady warns that the corrupt clergy and Judases in the Church will fall to the sword:
“The word of an atheist is not binding. The promises of an atheist are not true. You are falling in with the plan like sheep to the slaughter. Your city of evil [New York City] will crumble into the dust. Your world leaders, who are godless murderers, will fall to the sword. The Judases in My Son's House shall fall to the sword.” (Our Lady, May 30, 1972; Read more)
