Deception of the Century |
LifeSiteNews.com reported on May 6, 2010:
One prominent international pro-life leader has reacted angrily to the rumor, circulated last month by Italian and U.S. journalists, that the head of the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV), Archbishop “Rino” Salvatore Fisichella, could be promoted to the head of a new dicastery.
John Smeaton, the head of the Society for the Protection for Unborn Children (SPUC), one of Europe’s most prominent and successful pro-life and pro-family organizations, wrote on his blog today that the position Fisichella outlined in his now infamous article about a Brazilian abortion case – together with the support by the English bishops for the U.K. government’s sex education programs – “are cancers which are threatening to destroy countless human lives.”
“A perception that Cafeteria Catholicism prevails in the church will end up serving up the right to abortion worldwide,” he said.
Rumors continue to circulate in Rome and in the press that Pope Benedict’s Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization will be headed up by Fisichella, who launched himself to international fame last year with an article in L’Osservatore Romano that many took as indication that the Church was softening its teaching on abortion. The article, titled, “On the Side of the Brazilian Girl,” purported to support a nine year-old rape victim whose twin children were aborted in March last year, against the actions of her local bishop, who had announced the automatic excommunication of the abortionists, and those who facilitated the abortion. Fisichella wrote, “Other people deserve excommunication and our forgiveness: not those who have allowed you to live….”
Smeaton wrote, “How would such a scandalous appointment affect the world's perception of Catholic moral teaching on abortion? And, in Obama's push for a universal right to abortion, how would such an appointment affect the world's perception of conscientious objection to abortion on the part of health professionals?”
The new Vatican department will reportedly focus on the re-evangelization of Europe and other western countries that have largely abandoned their traditional Christian foundations. Fisichella’s appointment is said to be anticipated on the basis of his ability to handle the press and his connections around Europe in the academic world.
Smeaton continued, “In the interests of the lives of unborn babies worldwide Archbishop Fisichella should be removed form the Pontifical Academy for Life without the consolation prize of a promotion especially one which might make him a Cardinal.”
Whoever heads it, the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization will likely be an office that will earn its leader a red hat, an issue of grave concern to pro-life advocates who were horrified at Fisichella’s article and who have called for him to be removed from any responsible Vatican office.
Far from the controversy dying down, in March this year, Professor Joseph Seifert, a senior member of the PAV and the founder and rector of the International Academy of Philosophy in Liechtenstein, wrote that he believed Fisichella had knowingly departed from the Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life, an action that should completely disqualify him for any office.
With his article, Seifert said, Fisichella promoted “a new moral doctrine diametrically opposed to the teachings of the Church and particularly to those of the Encyclical Evangelium Vitae.”
This, Seifert said, “would make it impossible to nominate him as bishop of a diocese, let alone of a diocese linked to a Cardinal’s hat and rank.”
“Only an unshakeable and courageous commitment to the full extent of Catholic teaching can qualify a person for such influential and responsible positions for the flock for which Christ has laid down his life.”
Seifert revealed that at their annual meeting this year, he had proposed to Archbishop Fisichella that the entire PAV, including its head, issue a statement that unequivocally pledged their support for the Catholic teaching. Fisichella, Seifert said, refused the suggestion.Read LSN’s extensive coverage of the Fisichella scandal here.

Seventh Pontifical Academy Member Says Vatican Archbishop Needs to Go
LifeSiteNews.com reported on March 4, 2010:
Another senior member of the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV) has issued an open letter condemning the organization’s president, Archbishop Rino Fisichella, for refusing to retract his article in which he appeared to condone the abortion of the unborn twins of a nine-year-old rape victim in Brazil.
Professor Josef Seifert, a member of the PAV and an eminent professor of philosophy, wrote in response to a request for information from LifeSiteNews.com (LSN), that he is in full agreement with the five signatories of a statement published by LSN February 17. That statement was also supported by Judie Brown, president of American Life League.
“In my view, notwithstanding that a decision is solely in the Pope’s authority, Mons. Fisichella is absolutely unfit for being President of PAV.”
Fisichella’s article, published March 15, 2009 by the Vatican’s newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, asserted, contrary to the teaching of the Church, that the Brazilian doctors who aborted the twins did not merit automatic excommunication. Fisichella said that such cases are “a difficult decision for the doctor and for the moral law itself.”
The only issue, Seifert said, on which he differed from the statement by the five PAV members was their suggestion that Archbishop Fisichella should be employed elsewhere in the Church. Although, he said, Fisichella has “a brilliant mind,” a “superb education,” and an “extraordinary linguistic talent,” his statements opposing the Church on abortion, “would make it impossible to nominate him as bishop of a diocese, let alone of a diocese linked to a Cardinal’s hat and rank.”
“Only an unshakeable and courageous commitment to the full extent of Catholic teaching can qualify a person for such influential and responsible positions for the flock for which Christ has laid down his life.”
Seifert related that while attending the meeting of the PAV in Rome in February, in hope of reaching a solution “in peace and truth,” he had prepared a document restating the teaching of the Church and asked Archbishop Fisichella to sign it together with all the members of the Academy. This document, he hoped, could, “settle all our differences … restore authentic tranquility of order,” and be presented to the pope. The text included a renewal of the oath taken by PAV members to uphold Catholic teaching.
Prof. Seifert told LSN, “I showed this text to Mons. Fisichella before intending to have us distribute it together. He refused.”
In his original article, commissioned by the Vatican’s Secretariat of State, Fisichella implied that the abortion had been a life-saving act of mercy, reiterating the claims made by the pro-abortion Brazilian press that the child-mother’s life was in danger should the pregnancy be allowed to go to term.
Addressing the girl, he wrote, “Others deserve excommunication, not those who have permitted you to live.”
Given Fisichella’s responses to the criticisms by PAV members and his statements to the press, Prof. Seifert said, “It is to be feared that Mons. Fisichella truly remains firmly and immovably with his article’s positions, not even regretting privately” the “tremendously damaging consequences” of its implied justification of abortion.
Seifert, who is the founder and rector of the International Academy of Philosophy in Liechtenstein, analyzed Fisichella’s article again, saying it clearly implies that the abortion “was even a good act under the circumstances.” This view he identified as that of “proportionalism” or “consequentialism,” utilitarian ethical theories opposed to the concept of an objective absolute moral law that underpins Catholic moral theology.
These ideas, he said, “are in full tune” with those Catholic theologians who have dissented from Catholic moral teaching, especially since the general revolt against Pope Paul VI’s anti-contraception encyclical Humanae Vitae in 1968.
Indeed, the L’Osservatore Romano article was eagerly seized upon by the international press, as well as prominent abortion campaigners, as an example the Vatican at its highest levels backing away from its condemnation of abortion in all circumstances. Typical of the many headlines was one by the Washington Post, “Vatican Official Defends Child's Abortion.”
To date, Archbishop Fisichella has not only refused to retract his article, but in his opening address to the PAV members in February, continued to defend it, claiming that a later clarification from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had completely “vindicated” him. At that meeting, he accused his critics of acting out of “spite” and a desire to “create a situation of conflict.” Fisichella told Catholic News Service on February 12, that the mood of the meeting was “serene and calm,” and attributed the criticisms to attempts at “political exploitation.”
When, following February’s meeting, the five members issued their open letter to LSN suggesting that Fisichella should be removed as president of the PAV, he responded in an article by Associated Press, “I won't respond to these people. Too much space already has been given to them.”
Although Seifert was not among the signatories of the earlier statement, upon reflection, he said, “it seemed to me right and necessary not to remain silent, also towards the Press, about an extremely important doctrinal matter and one that puts many lives of unborn babies and souls in peril and hence is of utmost practical, ethical, and spiritual consequence.”
“The press,” he said, “had been badly misinformed about the meeting of our Assembly. I thought the time for silence was over.”
He decried “what amounted to the bishop’s condoning acts of abortion … thus abandoning his flock and feeding it with pernicious errors rather than with truth.”
He added, “If I were a bishop and had the most brilliant and knowledgeable seminarian of the world asking me to ordain him as a priest after having held similar views about abortion, I would never ordain him to be a priest and if I were to do so, would fear for my eternal salvation.”
Seifert denied that his motives, and those of his fellow PAV members, were spiteful, saying that he prays for Fisichella “daily by name,” and said that the criticisms have been written with “a bleeding heart, not a fanatic interest in battles and in-fights.”

"Those who have the highest places in My Son's Church are now using their rank to destroy the truth. You cannot build on the carnal nature of mankind, the fallen nature of mankind.
"You must now, My children, read the direction given you by Saint John. He was given the prophecy of your times. You are in those days, My children, the days of apostasy." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1975
"My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978
"I gave Lucy the Revelation as a temporary secret—as I revealed [the Third Secret] to you on two occasions. Make a concerted effort to bring its entirety to Our children on earth. The hierarchy have not listened to My counsel—thirty-two years lost in indecision and fear of exposure. The Faith is shattered for many." - Our Lady of the Roses, April 29, 1992
Our Lady of
the Roses Bayside messages
These messages came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
THE GREAT APOSTASY
"Do not accept the fallacy that any man upon earth and mankind are gods. There
is but one God. And no man shall set himself above his Master. O My children,
cannot you recognize the signs of your times? The great apostasy is upon you!" -
Our Lady, December 7, 1976
USING RANK TO DESTROY
"Those who have the highest places in My Son's Church are now using their rank
to destroy the truth. You cannot build on the carnal nature of mankind, the
fallen nature of mankind.
"You must now, My children, read the direction given you by Saint John. He
was given the prophecy of your times. You are in those days, My children, the
days of apostasy." - Our Lady, October 6, 1975
THE SWORD
"Mankind shall feel a sword upon his world. The Eternal Father has endured your
apostasy, your arrogance, your heresy much too long! As an errant and ungrateful
generation given to sin and abominations of the flesh, you shall be forced to
your knees by trial." - St. Michael, July 15, 1975
SISTER LUCY
"I wish at this time, My children, to repeat again the need to write, to speak,
to meet with the Holy Father in Rome, and plead with him to have Lucy come
forward and tell the Third Secret word for word, as I give to you each evening
on My appearances upon the grounds of Bayside, and Flushing Meadows." - Our
Lady, June 18, 1986
SCORNED, DISCARDED, HIDDEN
"Many years have gone by, My children, since I tried to warn you at Fatima.
My message was scorned then by many, discarded and hidden from the world, but My
message now cannot be discarded or kept hidden, for you have reached now a point
in your life, My children, your lifetime upon your earth, when your days are now
being counted." - Our Lady, February 10, 1977
FATIMA
"My child, how many warnings have I sent upon the world, and yet they go
unheeded.
"I wish that you make known, or refresh the memory of My children with My visit
to the land of Fatima." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974
"My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple
explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My
message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms
of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter
into My Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978
"YOU DID NOT LISTEN"
"My Mother came to you at Fatima warning that unless man stopped his path to
perdition, Russia would spread her errors throughout your world causing misery,
sufferings, and death and enslavement. My children, you did not listen and act
upon Her counsel then, just as many now do not listen and act upon Her counsel.
It is a part of human nature to exercise too free a will to reject. And this, I
say, falls also onto My pastors who are scattering My sheep in My House." - Our
Lady, May 27, 1978
CAST ASIDE
"My warnings at Fatima were cast aside as they are being cast aside now, My
children. It is a failing of human nature, My child, that that which does not
give pleasure to the carnal nature of man is not accepted. Man shall blind
himself to the truth, as he does not wish to face the truth. And those who seek
to bring him the truth are cast aside and do much penance, My child." - Our
Lady, September 13, 1975
THE FIGHT FOR POWER
IN THE YEAR 1972
"Satan, Lucifer in human form, entered into Rome in the year 1972. He cut off
the rule, the role of the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI. Lucifer has controlled Rome
and continues this control now.
"And I tell you now, My children, unless you pray and make My counsel known
to all of the ruling fathers of the Eternal City of Rome, My Son's Church, His
House, will be forced into the catacombs. A great struggle lies ahead for
mankind. The eventual outcome is for good of all, for this trial in My Son's
Church will be a true proving ground for all the faithful. Many latter-day
saints shall rise out of the tribulation." - Our Lady, September 7, 1978
HIGHEST REALMS OF
THE HIERARCHY
"My
child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple
explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My
message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms
of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter
into My Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978
