30-6. Departing from Africa, Francis Renews Call o End Anti-Sodomy Laws...
JUST LAWS
"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."
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, November 1, 1985
DID NOT LISTEN
"I know, My children, many of you who hear My voice or My words will say, 'How can this happen to us?' But We heard that, the Eternal Father has said Himself that He heard that many years ago when He sent prophets to warn Sodom and Gomorrha, and they, too, did not listen."
- The Bayside Prophecies
Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1992
YOU WILL BE SURELY DESTROYED
"As in Sodom and Gomorrha, mankind had gone down and given itself over to satan. I ask you now, My children, to turn back from your road to destruction, for you will be surely destroyed as was the time of Sodom and Gomorrha. Homosexuality shall not be condoned.
It is an abomination in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and as such, is condemning many to hell."
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, June 18, 1991
PRIESTS UNDERMINING CHURCH
"We see a church of man being built, a church that has no angels guiding it, a church that is made, as the true Church of My Son is being chipped away at, undermined by My Son's own priests! How dare you debase My Son's heritage by allowing all evil to be condoned in His Church!"

Our Lady of the Roses, April 2, 1977
The above Messages from Our Lady were given to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, New York.

In a novel in-air press conference with the head of the Church of England and the head of the Church of Scotland, Pope Francis repeated his remarks first made on January 25 about the need for an end to anti-sodomy laws.
Noting that some 50 countries have anti-sodomy laws, Francis said as he was returning from a six-day trip to Africa, “The criminalization of homosexuality is a problem that cannot be ignored.”
While the laws criminalize behaviors and not inclinations, Pope Francis conflated the two concepts in his remarks, saying of the anti-sodomy laws: “Persons with homosexual tendencies are children of God. God loves them. God accompanies them… condemning a person like this is a sin. Criminalizing people with homosexual tendencies is an injustice.”
Rt. Rev. Iain Greenshields, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, which permits homosexual “marriage” in their churches, praised Francis for his remarks, as did the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the lead bishop of the Church of England, which permits homosexual blessings in their churches. “I entirely agree with every word he said there… I shall certainly quote the Holy Father. He said it so beautifully and accurately,” Welby said.
In his January 25 remarks, Pope Francis said that the Catholic Church needs to be involved in the dismantling of laws that criminalize homosexuality and that the Catholic bishops of Africa and other places that have such laws need a “conversion.”
The Pope’s mounting pressure on Africa in particular comes at the same time as a heavy push from the West to have Africa embrace homosexuality. The pressure has come in the form of loans and grants being contingent on such moves.
African Catholic bishops, however, remain firmly in support of anti-sodomy laws that protect school children form LGBT indoctrination in classrooms and also protect society from pedophilia, bestiality, pornography, adultery, prostitution and other sexual perversions that destabilize society.

Priest Rebukes Francis for Calling to Decriminalize Sodomy: ‘Do You Belong to Christ, or to Sodom?’...
Father Jason Charron, a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, is a staunch defender of the Church's traditional teachings. He actively voices his opinions through public statements and YouTube videos, particularly criticizing Pope Francis' call for the decriminalization of homosexuality. Father Charron points out that the Pope seems overly focused on the issue of homosexuality, neglecting the defense of persecuted Christians and the propagation of the Gospel's true message. His stance, which advocates for the adherence to and defense of the Church's traditional doctrines, garners support among those in the Catholic Church who strive to uphold these teachings. His YouTube videos and public statements have attracted considerable attention both within and outside the Church. Father Jason Charron is actively involved in defending the traditional moral doctrines of the Catholic Church, addressing contemporary societal and ecclesiastical issues with a strong and committed voice.

A Catholic priest has rebuked Pope Francis for his calls to decriminalize sodomy during his recent visit to African countries South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The priest called the Pope to repent of his promotion of homosexuality, addressing the Pontiff in a video and asking, “Do you belong to Christ, or do you belong to Sodom?”
Fr. Jason Charron posted to YouTube a video in which he took the Pope to task for making homosexuality more central to his ministry than the defense of persecuted Christians and the preaching of the Gospel, including the call to repent of sin.
“Pope Francis again has called for the decriminalizing of homosexual acts among other things on his return flight from the African visit home to the Vatican,” Charron said. “A lot of the Holy father’s public comments, you know, revolve around this issue of homosexuality as though that were the centerpiece of his ministry. You don’t hear a whole lot of comments from him calling for the defense of the persecuted Christians in … places like China, or the situation of the Christians in places like … Saudi Arabia, or the situation faced by Christian families in the formerly Catholic countries of Europe and North America, places where his faithful flock face persecution for believing in the official teaching of the Church that he leads.”
“So, on the one hand, his flock are persecuted for believing the faith that he is embodying as the visible head of the Church, but, on the other hand, he uses that position as Bishop of Rome and successor of Saint Peter to advocate for things that don’t pertain to his calling as bishop and as Pope.”
However, the priest insisted, “Jesus Christ did not give us the papacy in order to decriminalize sodomy laws.”
The priest then underscored the opportunity that the Pope missed on account of the public nature of his office, saying, “It’s a shame, because he has a great platform, and that great platform can be used for two things: to search out and find the saints and embolden them, and to search out and find the sinners and call them to repentance.”
Refuting the notion that the call to repentance is “elitist,” Fr. Charron highlighted the fact that we are all sinners called to leave behind our sins to follow Christ. “The beauty of this is that we’re all in both of those categories,” the priest said. “We all have sinned, and we all have at one point or another encountered someone in our life who loved us so much that they were bold enough to dare to challenge us to raise our game, to follow in the footsteps [of] he who is the great lover of mankind, Jesus Christ.”
Quoting St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, chapter six, verse nine, the priest continued, “‘Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.’
“‘Do not be deceived,’ St. Paul says, ‘neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor the drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God,’” he added.
Lamenting the Pope’s apparent abandonment of the mission to strengthen the saints and convert sinners, the priest declared, “This is the pity of Pope Francis, this is the great shame, that that he has abandoned his first love, and instead of preaching the Gospel, emboldening the saints and calling sinners to repentance, he’s using his platform to embolden sinners and to shame the saints into silence and conformity with the world.”
Citing Christ’s words in the Book of Revelation, “You have left your first love … Repent and do the first works, or else I will come to thee quickly and I will remove your candlestick, unless you repent,” the priest addressed the Pope directly, “For the sake of your own dignity, the dignity of your office … repent from this insanity, Pope Francis, and preach the Gospel, calling all people to repentance.”
Speaking to the specific issue of anti-sodomy laws, Charron continued, “What we have here is the Holy Father, Pope Francis, going into these nations and speaking not about the Gospel so much as about urging these people to change their code of civil law, to reflect the zeitgeist (the spirit of the age).”
Rebuking the Pope for such interference in favor of sodomy, the priest asked, “Who do you belong to, Francis? Do you belong to Christ, or do you belong to Sodom?”
“We’re all called to repentance,” he concluded. “And there is no one, no one who receives an exception to the call to repentance … Repent, and return to your first love.”
The priest assured his viewers that he hopes “to address the continuing compromises against the ancient faith by men like Pope Francis, Cdl. McElroy, Fr. J. Martin.”
Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, shared Fr. Charron’s video on Twitter. Praising the courage of Fr. Jason Charron, Strickland wrote, “This priest speaks truth that needs to be shared. Pray for Pope Francis, pray for the Church, pray for our nation and pray for the world. Pray, pray, pray and live the truth.”
Fr. Charron’s comments come after another Catholic priest, Fr. Gerald Murray, openly rebuked Pope Francis for advocating for the normalizing of homosexuality.
In an interview with EWTN, Fr. Murray said, “It’s clearly taught in the Bible and the natural law: sodomy is a mortal sin.” Pointing to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the priest explained that the purpose of anti-sodomy laws is to deter man from sin and protect public morals.
“Now, laws against sodomy are designed to warn people not to commit that sin and to protect society where if that sin were tolerated it might become more widespread,” Murray said. “The story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible is a warning to us.”
The Pope call to decriminalize sodomy met with strong resistance in Africa, with high-ranking South Sudanese cabinet member Michael Makuei Lueth declaring before the papal visit, “If he [Pope Francis] is coming here and he tells us that marriage of the same-sex, homosexuality is legal, we will say no.”
"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."
