The Nine Ways Of Being An Accessory To Another’s Sin John Lacken ***NB - Parents be warned! This article contains material that is not suitable for children. - NB*** Let us pray an Ave for our bishops that they will always seek to expose the truth regardless of the fear that it can sometimes bring. Our Lord Himself tells us that the Truth will set us free. “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen. I remember when I first came across the nine ways of co-operating in the sin of another. It was when my wife asked me to examine one of our younger children on their Catechism. Our children were being home schooled at the time, and the two youngest have never attended a formal school and most of them have never taken State exams. The reason we decided to home school our children was because the Catholic schools, which had bishops as patrons, were not fully upholding the teachings of the Catholic Church or teaching the Catholic Faith properly. One of the questions I was to ask the child was, ‘What are the nine ways of co-operating in the sin of another? I didn’t know the answer myself, but as I heard my child recite them I was overcome with the thought that this was something that I needed to look at more closely as I was probably guilty of some of these sins. We can often think we are doing our best not to sin, but we may not realise that we can become an accessory to the sins of another by our actions or inactions.
Bishops at the Vatican
One day sometime after this, I arrived early for Holy Mass and I was leafing through my Roman Missal of 1962 in preparation for Holy Mass. At the beginning there is a section on ‘The Most Necessary Prayers’. It is followed by acts of Faith, Hope, Charity and Contrition. A few pages later there is ‘An abridgement of Christian Doctrine’ which includes; the ten commandments; the six precepts of the Church; the Seven Sacraments; the three theological virtues and the four cardinal Virtues; the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost; the Spiritual Works of Mercy; the Corporal Works of Mercy; the eight Beatitudes; the seven deadly sins; the contrary virtues; sins against the Holy Ghost; sins crying to Heaven for vengeance; and then, I saw them listed again, Nine ways of Being Accessory to Another’s Sin. Once again I realised how poorly catechised we had been in school and I also realised the value of rote learning. To have committed these basic Church teachings to memory would be a great advantage throughout one’s life, but I did not
have this advantage. To this day I would struggle to recite some of the doctrines listed above. I would recognise them if you mentioned them, but I do not have a complete recollection of them because we did not have to learn them by heart when we were children. When I lived in Leitrim, there was an elderly man who lived in a cabin at the end of the road. Frank lived until a few days before his hundredth birthday. Once, when I was visiting him, he showed me his ‘penny’ catechism which he had kept from primary school. I opened the well worn booklet up at a few random pages and asked him some of the questions from each page. He answered each one correctly exactly as the answer was written in the book. Most Catholic school children nowadays, cannot even recite the ten commandments! The nine ways of co-operating or of being an accessory in the sins of another are: 1. By Counsel: Giving advice or direction to the evil-doer; 2. By Command: Ordering or inducing another to commit sin;

3. By Consent: approving of the sin, before or after its act; 4. By Provocation: Inciting or urging one to commit sin; 5. By Praise or flattery: Inciting or urging one to commit sin by praise; 6. By Concealment: helping one to commit sin by offering to conceal the crime; 7. By Partnership: Sharing the fruits of another’s sin; 8. By Silence: Not speaking out when we should, or not acting to prevent sin when obliged; 9. By Defending evil: Attempting to justify the evil actions of others. These were brought to my mind by several recent and some not so recent happenings. I came across a claim about an alleged cover up in one of Ireland’s seminaries. I was not able to get verifiable information to prove this, nonetheless, I thought about concealment and silence, and the truth setting us free. I read about Jesuit Cardinal JeanClaude Hollerich, who is the president of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community (COMECE) describing the biblical determination of homosexual acts as sinful, as “false.” “Asked by reporters how he approaches the Church’s determination that homosexual acts are sinful, the cardinal responded, “I believe that this is false.” He said that “thinking further about the teaching … can lead to a change in teaching.”” (Source: LifeSiteNews) Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, who is also the Archbishop of Luxembourg, was appointed as Relator General of the 2021–2023 “Synod on Synodality,” Other German bishops called for blessings of homosexual couples. My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee. I beg pardon of Thee for all those that do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee. Amen. Angel to the Children of Fatima 1916
Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich - screenshot/YouTube A quick browse of recent LifeSiteNews articles reveal the following headlines. “Ethics professor at New York public university praises ‘evolutionary advantages’ of paedophilia.” “Catholic school board in Canada reverses decision, and votes to fly LGBT ‘pride’ flag outside every school” “French court says man who identifies as a woman can be his daughter’s ‘mother’ on birth certificate” “French lawmakers pass bill expanding adoption for nonmarried and same-sex couples” “Are ‘homosexual’ penguins the same as gay people? A Jesuit priest thinks so” “German bishops back LGBT campaign to change Church teaching on homosexuality, gender identity” “Broken families are a result of young people not being taught responsibility for their sexual choices” “Study finds men are often the main influence on women who have an abortion” These headlines confirm that there is a global attack on human
sexuality and this attack is being aided and abetted by certain members of the hierarchy. Those who promote a false understanding of human sexuality are involved in objectively sinful acts. Those who promote a false understanding of human sexuality to children, are guilty of child abuse. We cannot remain silent while this state of affairs persists otherwise we will become accomplices in sin. The situation in Ireland is no better than elsewhere in the world. As we have pointed out on many occasions, the dangerous and childdamaging LGBT ideology is being actively promoted in Catholic schools in Ireland, to Catholic school-children. Here is a recent example of what is happening in Ireland. I have mentioned the Kerry Diocesan Youth Services (KDYS) before. The bishop of Kerry, Bishop Raymond Browne, has the authority to appoint four members to the board of directors. There was one Kerry diocesan priest who was listed as chairman of the board of directors in their 2019 Annual Report. There is a link to the KDYS on the Kerry Diocesan website. The image on the top right of the next page is from the KDYS Facebook page of the 4th February this year. They are promoting a service called DASH - Drugs,

Alcohol, Sexual Health. There is a ‘DASH’ van which was due to be in the Abbey Street car park in Tralee on Monday 7th February 2022, and the KDYS encourages young people to drop in if they have any questions. Telling the young people to ‘Go visit them’. The staff who man the DASH van hand out free condoms to young people. Their ideology around human sexuality is false, misleading and also sinful. They also fully support abortion and, any girl who might get pregnant as a result of the failure of the condoms handed out for free by the DASH van team, will be helped to kill her child should she so choose. The DASH van is run by the Sexual Health Centre, which is based in Cork. They have a strategic plan for 2019 - 2023. Here is an excerpt from Goal 5 of that plan Goal 5: To support all individuals in society in relation to crisis and unplanned pregnancies, sexual dysfunction, sexual addiction, porn addiction, sexuality, healthy relationships and HIV... “To continue to meet the demand for all-option support to people experiencing a crisis or unplanned pregnancy as well as individuals who wish to access post-termination counselling” ‘All-option support’ is a euphemism to indicate that they support the killing of nascent unborn human beings in their mother’s wombs. In the past, when we have contacted Bishop Browne, he refuses to take any responsibility for what is going on in the KDYS which includes promoting the LGBT ideology to children as young as 13, and here we see the KDYS promoting an organisation that promotes contraception and abortion. Bishop Browne refuses to publicly condemn these sinful actions. The audited accounts for 2019 of the Sexual Health Centre shows that they received €565,665 in Government funding. The Kerry Diocesan Youth Services Annual Report of 2019 shows that they received €3,073,988 in Government funding. On their website, the Sexual Health Centre also lists The Cloyne Diocesan Youth Services as an organisation that they work with. The Cloyne Diocesan Youth Services received just over €2,000,000 from

government agencies in 2020. Their annual report contains a message from Bishop William Crean. Parents should be outraged that their hard earned taxes are being used by government and other agencies to corrupt their children. Catholic parents should be outraged at the silence and complicity of some of their bishops in these matters. When these matters are raised you will be told about all the good that these organisations do. However, doing good does not excuse co-operating with organisations that promote abortion and that distribute free condoms to young people. Such co-operation tarnishes the good works that are done by these diocesan youth organisations. Also, when Catholics speak of doing good, it must always be looked at in the light of the ultimate good, which is to attain Heaven. If such scandalous behaviour leads even one young person into a sinful way of life and eternal damnation, then of what real benefit will these organisations have been to such a soul? What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and loses his soul? When we look back at the nine ways of co-operating in evil there are a few that apply to these situations. Counsel and Consent immediately come to mind.

The KDYS counselled the young people who engage with them to go and visit an organisation that is encouraging young people to commit grievous sins. They are thus guilty of consenting to the sinful actions of distributing condoms and of promoting an organisation where it is known that Catholic moral teaching on human sexuality is rejected. Silence also comes to mind. The bishops, who publicly congratulate themselves on their child protection programmes, remain silent in the face of these organisations which seek to corrupt young people and who also try to actively engage with them and promote their false sexual ideologies in Catholic Schools. We are not talking about some minor sins here, we are talking about sins against the fifth and sixth commandments - contraception and abortion.

But now that you have read through this article, I have put you in a position where you too are aware of the sins being committed by these organisations which are corrupting our young people and children, while the bishops look away and choose not to see. You also have a duty to find out what is going on and then to speak out. I am asking you to contact Bishop Raymond Browne and Bishop William Crean asking them to publicly speak out against these abuses of our young people and to stop permitting the promotion of contraception and abortion through their diocesan youth services. If they have lost control of these diocesan organisations, then they should cut all ties with them and ask them to change their names so that the dioceses are no longer publicly associated with the promotion of contraception and abortion. The following are the contact details for these two bishops.
Bishop Raymond Browne Bishops’ House, Killarney, Co. Kerry Tel: +353 (0)64 6631168 Email: bishopshouse@eircom.net Bishop William Crean Cloyne Diocesan Centre, Cobh, Co Cork Tel: +353 (0)21 4811430 Email: info@cloynediocese.ie In all communications please be respectful and remember the dignity of the bishop’s office. Can I ask you to please do a little bit of research into what is being promoted in your own diocese. Remember that the immoral RSE programmes were stalled for years in Ireland because Catholic parents objected to the corruption of their children. The parents of those days, like myself, no longer have school age children so it is time for the new generation of parents to take up the fight for the Catholic faith of their children and of this country of ours.
There’s A Place For Us
Homosexuality in the Divine Plan of Redemption There’s A Place For Us: This testimony does not shirk away from difficult Catholic teachings but shows with piercing clarity why the Church teaches as she does in the area of human sexuality. In our lives we are called to a lot more than sexual satisfaction. Rather, we are granted the privilege of living life on the highest possible plane in responding to the call of the greatness of being the Sons and Daughters of God.
There’s a Place for Us Homosexuality in the Divine Plan of Redemption Jesus said to those who would stone her: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
