Jesuit priest Thomas Reese on Twitter

I spent about 10 minutes looking at Jesuit priest, Thomas Reese's tweets on Twitter for the month of April. 

It's no surprise this Jesuit, like his counterpart Fr. James Martin, have a Twitter feed packed with liberal, progressive often anti-Catholic tweets promoting/sharing articles in favor of homosexuality, gay marriage, heresy, etc. 

Here are a few from the month of April... 

This article is about a lesbian who says God called her to be a Methodist minister even though the Methodists are still battling within their denomination over homosexual clergy. 

Article quote: "Cullom came out as a lesbian during her senior year at LaGrange College, a United Methodist-affiliated school about 90 miles south of her home in Kennesaw, Ga.  For a time, she was engaged to another woman, but broke it off before seminary and has not had a partner since." 

"After delivering the sermon, she realized: “This is what I’m supposed to do.”
She had moved from “I won’t play in your sandbox” to “Wait a minute. It’s my sandbox. I’m going to play here. You can get out if you don’t like it.”
In her classes, she had learned about Martin Luther, John Wesley, Jarena Lee, Maria Stewart — Christians who pursued their call to preach in spite of the established church."

***

Reese seems to really, really like the potential prospect of a "married" abomination in the White House. He tweets articles about homosexual politician Pete Buttigieg over and over and over again. 

Buttigieg says: "My marriage to Chasten has made me a better man. And yes, Mr. Vice President, it has moved me closer to God. (applause) You may be religious and you may not. But if you are, and you are also queer, and you have come through another side of a period of wishing that you weren’t, then you know that that message, that this idea that there is something wrong with you, is a message that puts you at war not only with yourself but with your Maker. And, speaking only for myself, I can tell you that if me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far far above my pay grade. And that the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: that if you have a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my Creator."

There is so much wrong with that its hard to know where to begin. But lets start with the obvious, Buttigieg does not have a marriage. What he's got is a big old case of ABOMINATION and he's looking at an eternity in Hell if he doesn't repent and come out of it before his death. He cannot blame God for making him gay, no one is born gay. 

The Word of God is very clear that the only sexual relationship God approves is 1 man + 1 woman= marriage. That's it. 

*** 

Reese then tweets about Holy Communion for divorced and "remarried" couples...giving full credit to Pope Humbleness himself, Francis. God save us from this pope! 

***
Reese then shares an article about the pornographic vulgar show "Game of Thornes". 

Totally ignoring Catholic teaching on the subject of sex and violence on television and other media outlets. 

PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS

PORNOGRAPHY AND VIOLENCE IN THE COMMUNICATIONS MEDIA: A PASTORAL RESPONSE

Here: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/pccs/documents/rc_pc_pccs_doc_07051989_pornography_en.html 

For Reese, note #29: 
"29. THE CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS GROUPS. For the Church, the first responsibility is the constant, clear teaching of the faith and, therefore, of objective moral truth, including the truth about sexual morality. In an era of permissiveness and moral confusion, this requires that the Church be a prophetic voice and, often, a sign of contradiction. The so-called "ethic" of immediate personal gratification is fundamentally opposed to integral human growth and fulfillment. Education for family life and indeed for responsible life in society requires formation in chastity and self-discipline. By contrast, pornography and wanton violence can blind individuals to the divine image in the human person, can weaken marriage and family life and can do serious harm to individuals and to society itself. Wherever possible, the Church must join with other churches, denominations and religious groups in teaching and fostering this message. It must also make the best possible use of its own institutions and personnel to give education and formation concerning the media of social communications and their proper role in individual and social life. Special attention should be given to assisting parents in their efforts.  Thus, media education belongs in Catholic schools and other educational programs, in seminaries,8 in formation programs of religious and secular institutes, in the continuing formation of priests and in parish programs for youth and adults. Priests and Religious in pastoral and educational work should themselves be discrimating consumers of media who give good example in what they read and view."


***

From there Reese pushes a growing trend of people finding their faith in a new "religion" based on the witchcraft books "Harry Potter" and made popular by a podcast that reads the books and looks for spirituality in the fantasy fiction novels.  

Article quote: 
"Just about any text can be treated as sacred, Zoltan said. But, she added, “Harry Potter” is uniquely well suited because of its ubiquity — the book series has launched spinoffs, films, a Broadway play, a theme park, even an entire genre of music called “wizard rock” — and its overarching message of love."

***

Reese also shared "Heretic House"... a welcoming place for heretics to gather. 
(I am wondering when Reese and Fr. James Martin will be checking in.) 👀

***
Then Reese took a shot at Raymond Arroyo and EWTN tweeting this... 

Article quote: "EWTN's iconic host, Raymond Arroyo, no longer even makes any attempt to appear balanced when discussing the church. If his guest is an ally, he displays no inquisitiveness in his interviews. This is not a news program anymore but simply a propaganda arm of the anti-Francis, pro-Trump Catholic brigade. Last week's show was especially bad. 

First up was a segment with the "papal posse" — conservative writer Robert Royal and Fr. Gerald Murray — about the Washington appointment of Archbishop Wilton Gregory. Royal said that this appointment amounts to "Cardinal Wuerl by other means" and said he did not see this shift as a changing of the page. Arroyo said a Washington Catholic said the appointment amounted to "business as usual." Murray said Gregory needed to find out what happened in the McCarrick case, although there is nothing in the Washington archives that would explain how McCarrick came to be appointed to Washington. 

Later in the segment, Arroyo brought up Pope Francis' comments on the death penalty during a press conference on the plane back from Morocco. Murray said: "This is an extremely serious problem, Raymond, the pope does not have the power to change the teaching of the church … that the death penalty is moral in some cases." He said that if Hitler has been executed it would have been a good thing. Note to Murray: When you invoke Nazi analogies, you have almost always lost your argument. Arroyo suggested the death penalty allows people to get their soul in order before death.

Then the posse moved on to criticize the pope because of his defense of migrants, and Royal noted that in Europe, the people are not in agreement with the pope, a criterion never introduced during the pontificate of John Paul II on, say, the issue of contraception. He echoed the kind of nationalistic impulses that we hear from right-wing politicians here in the U.S. and in Europe."[clipped for length]

Personally, I thought this show was great and spot on. I love the "Papal Posse" and look forward to when they are on "The World Over"(EWTN). 

*** 

This last tweet has a gay flag as the centerpiece for a Vatican conference about war and violence and the hope that Francis will write an encyclical on non-violence and social change (I am guessing the flag is the key here- its all about the gays).  

Article quote: VATICAN CITY — Theologians, activists and bishops who took part in a Vatican conference earlier this month on the power of nonviolence to bring about social change are expressing hope that a future papal encyclical or teaching document will reexamine the Catholic Church's teachings on war. Participants in the April 4-5 meeting, co-hosted by Pax Christi International and the Vatican's Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, said the reflections shared by the about 80 attendees provided ample material for Pope Francis to consider for a possible encyclical."

"The April event was the second of its kind, following a 2016 meeting at the Vatican that reevaluated the church's long-held teachings on just war theory, a tradition that uses a series of criteria to evaluate whether use of violence can be considered morally justifiable."

***

I would remind ALL our clergy, you have a duty to the laity. 

In Christ,

I'm a Candidate to be a Jesuit . . . and I'm gay

**Warning there is a Youtube image of Jay sitting on the toilet at the bottom of this post- he records himself on the toilet in one of his Youtube videos.

For the love of all that's holy, we must be saved from men like this entering the seminaries.

Jay is a Fr. James Martin wannabe. He even retweets and quotes Fr. Martin frequently on social media. Two peas on pod. 

Some facts about Jay. Jay has a "gay" teddy bear named "Barnsie" who he likes to keep in the back seat of his car "cause he likes it there". Jay likes to wear pink cause...of course, he's gay but he doesn't call pink 'pink', nope. Jay says gay Catholics call pink "purple" cause...I don't even remember at this point its all so insanely convoluted. I think he is trying (and failing) to be funny - of course considering all the other things Jay says and does he might be perfectly serious. Judge for yourselves. 

Jay the Jesuit wannabe actually records himself on the toilet (more on that later), pants around his ankles and all. I am stumbling for words to write this am so baffled and appalled by this guy. 

Let me start at the beginning with Jay's first video. 

Here in his breakout Youtube video he opines that people are wrongly blaming homosexual clergy for abuse in the Church and that there is nothing wrong with being gay (doesn't acknowledge Church teaching that homosexuality is disordered). 

He also states he must not be in the closet about his own sexuality because to not talk about being gay somehow takes away his freedom and would make him a terrible priest. He's really obsessed with being free. 

Jay says he "can't be true to the Gospel" as a gay man if he's in the closet. 

Seriously, he says that. 

He continues on saying he can't even "serve the Church" if he's not "one hundred percent free" - which again for Jay means telling the world about his sexual preferences for males. Jay has wrapped his freedom up in his homosexuality. All of this is completely nuts! 

He's a confused, mentally warped mess and I am sure the Jesuits will adore him. 

 

Looking at the comments so far on his Youtube channel I'd say he's not getting the responses he might have hoped for. 

I left a few comments of my own on his Youtube channel including several quotes on homosexuality. Like the catechism stating the homosexuality is a disorder. 

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. 

At the end of the video Jay proceeds to tell viewers we are not allowed to judge him... apparently he either doesn't know what Scripture says on the matter or perhaps its merely something else he rejects.

Sexual Immorality Must Be Judged9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral persons— 10 not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother or sister[c] who is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber. Do not even eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging those outside? Is it not those who are inside that you are to judge? 13 God will judge those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.” [1 Corinthians 5 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition]  

I am interested to see if he will address any of the comments left. 

Jay has other videos including a video called "A Day in My Big Gay Catholic Life part 1" that is just weird, absurd and appalling. 

The first half of the video Jay records himself waking up, going into the bathroom (flushing toilet sounds) and then he attempts to say the "Our Father" but can't remember it because he hasn't had his coffee yet. He apologizes to Jesus, ditches his prayers and makes his way to the kitchen for his breakfast- which he records making and eating. 

During Jay's breakfast with coffee he asks and answers riveting questions like 

"Gay Lifestyle Question #1: How important is coffee to you? Is it a 'gay lifestyle' thing? It is a Catholic?"

His response is repulsive and bizarre... "coffee is the 8th sacrament" blah, blah, blah. He's trying to be funny, but he's just a sad joke. 

Then he records himself sitting on the toilet and reading "The Jesuit Guide to Almost Everything" by Father James Martin. 

One comment under this vulgar video...

andyyyp scarborough
3 hours ago (edited)
The clip at 10.33 really just about sums you up. Vulgar and gauche. Do you really think an aspiring clergyman would be comfortable showing his bare thighs sat on the toilet, literally defecating? Mind you, you clearly don't do irony as the book you're reading is by Father Liberace no less, so toilet paper is indeed about all it's worth.

After the toilet scene Jay goes for a run them comes home and shows himself tossing his clothes on the floor as he gets naked and then showers - thankfully he doesn't record his shower-but does record drying off his lower torso.

I said it before and I have to say it again...its bizarre and appalling- and I am sure the Jesuits will love him. 

God save His Church and us all from men like Jay. 

In Christ, 

Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner

Can't say it better than Christopher Ferrara

I read a very good article today, by Christopher Ferrara over at Fatima Network.

Since I can't possibly say it any better than Mr. Ferrara, I will simply offer a quote (emphasis mine) and link to the full article.  

quote: "It seems that Pope Francis is determined to be more and more provocative with each passing week, as if to reveal deeper and deeper layers of what appears to be a liberal, seventies-era Latin American Jesuit’s constitutional disdain for the supposed “rigidity” of orthodox Catholicism. 
By now the whole world knows that on June 14, during his customary rambling remarks, this time at a “pastoral conference” at Saint John Lateran, Francis declared that “the great majority of our sacramental marriages are null” because the spouses “don’t know what they say” when they say “Yes, for life.” He also dropped the bomb that in his view couples in the countryside of northeast Argentina who cohabit out of the husband’s superstitious fear of marriage vows, avoiding Catholic nuptials until they are grandparents, have “a true marriage, they have the grace precisely of marriage, because of the fidelity they have.”
In other words, according to Francis, it is quite literally the case that among Catholics most marriages are not really marriages, whereas many non-marriages are.  With these remarks, Francis simultaneously undermines confidence in Holy Matrimony while legitimating unholy relationships which the Church, following Our Lord Himself, can only view as adultery or simple fornication. The Vatican’s frantic post-conference “correction” of the transcript of Francis’ remarks changes “great majority” to “a part,” but it leaves unchanged Francis’ mind-boggling and really quite nonsensical assertion that cohabiting couples afraid to marry can have a “true marriage.”
Changing the transcript of this particular outburst of heterodoxy does not change what Francis actually believes. For as he declared without correction in September 2015, during the flight back to Rome from the “beach party Mass” in Rio (citing his predecessor as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Quarracino): “half of all marriages are null…. Why? Because they are married without maturity, they get married without realizing that it’s for an entire lifetime, or they are married because socially they must get married.”  That is what Francis really thinks." [end quote]

Please read the full article HERE.  Mr. Ferrara is spot on. 


In Christ,

Fr. James Martin another Pied Piper of Hell?

I've got a lot to show and tell, so this is going to be a long one folks.

;)

A priest's response to the Supreme Courts ruling to legalize same sex unions (they are NOT marriages- I don't care what the court says) should be exactly what Christ's Holy Catholic Church says it is...sin, depraved, evil & disordered.

Catechism #2396 Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices.

What a tragic time it is in the Church when priests openly and proudly support legalized sodomy and their Bishops and Pope pretend they don't see it.  

With no Bishops calling out their priests for such scandal it is up to the laity to do.  And how sad when a member of the Catholic laity does step up and attempt to correct such a priest from supporting legalized gay unions...only to have the priest call it "hate". 

And after receiving numerous tweets and Facebook messages attempting to correct Fr. Martin for going against Catholic teaching, Father suggested all those who oppose his position take a hike (guess that means Christ's Holy Catholic Church too- but I am guessing Fr. Martin didn't think of that). 

So some devout Catholics gave up and left...notice Fr. Martin's loving response and those of his groupies...

Nice eh?  So much love for a Catholic who actually SUPPORTS and BELIEVES in Catholic doctrine.

Fr. Martin doesn't want opposition to HIS beliefs...he wants to be adored by his gay activist fans- and he's got THOUSANDS of them judging by his Tweeter and Facebook accounts.  

The utter ignorance and confusion Fr. Martin's fans have is limitless- and he does nothing to correct them or bring them out of their stupor.  They have no more of an idea what love or Christianity is than my tennis shoe does.

Here's an interesting fan... it's an atheist who doesn't believe in God yet declares that Fr. Martin is preaching "the true word of Jesus" correctly and the rest of the Catholic Church has it all wrong. 

No, I'm not kidding.

It's certainly not just Fr. Martin...there are many of his ilk in the Church and that is the problem.  They are IN the Church.

Why?

2089 Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him." 11

These clergy are heretics and the Church is failing us all by allowing these heretics to remain in their positions poisoning their followers with their father the devil's lies. 

And viewing the Twitter and Facebook responses Fr. Martin gets for his pro-gay activism clearly shows these 'Catholics' as having swallowed his poison.  They are gushing over how loving Father is because he supports their right to gay unions and is rejoicing with them over the Supreme Courts ruling.  He should be weeping and in mourning like so many of the rest of us.

That is NOT what love means Fr. Martin, love is wanting souls to be saved from sin so they can have eternal life with our Lord in Heaven.  You can't get there if you die in mortal sin and yes, homosexual unions/acts are mortal sin.  

These priests are leading a multitude straight into Hell and they do it gleefully and boldly.  Instead of correcting the laity with OFFICIAL Catholic teaching...they support the sinners in their sin and leave them there to one day face eternal damnation.  I can think of nothing more vile for a priest to do then that. That is not love...it is hate. 

Again, what Fr. Martin has done here is not a display of love...it is hatred. He hates these people so much he wishes to leave them in mortal sin and LEAD THEM into mortal sin with his anti-Catholic rhetoric and silence in the face of their confusion.  Instead of telling these people a priest preaching Catholic doctrine on marriage and the sin of homosexual unions is LOVING them, not "an anti-gay message", Fr. Martin is silent on Church teaching and plays the sympathy card with them. 

Catechism #2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, 141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

Fr. James Martin will NEVER tell a gay couple that "homosexual acts are acts of grave depravity".  Nor will he tell the Catholic laity that "under no circumstance" can gay unions be supported or approved.  Nope, instead he talks about his own twisted and corrupted view of love...while he is showing them the purest form of hatred.

Fr. James Martin was extremely touched by a sob story about "Nana & Dot" two old lady "Catholic" lesbians who had to pretend to be sisters so they could live in mortal sin without society calling them out for it.  

The author of the story (another Jesuit)...Jason Welle, SJ gushes about how these lesbians living in mortal sin while being "Eucharistic Ministers" (don't get me started on that) taught him the meaning of love and mutual care...

Then Welles goes on to prove himself a complete fool when he says he knows there will still "be objections from those who believe that gay and lesbian relationships are immoral" as if Christ's Holy Catholic Church isn't one of those who will continue to "object" to such sinful unions. 

I know there will continue to be objections from those who believe that gay and lesbian relationships are immoral or that same sex marriages can simply not be recognized as proper marriages, fellow Catholics and other Americans of good will among them. While they may have run out of legal options to prevent civil recognition of same sex marriage, they will continue to press for the freedom of religious institutions and individuals to live out their lives of faith according to deeply held beliefs. The issue of civil marriage recognition may be settled, but debates about the morality and legality of how individuals and institutions interact in a pluralistic society will continue.

Psst...the debate was over thousands of years ago- NO SUCH THING AS GAY MARRIAGE.  ALL homosexual acts are DEPRAVED.  

How much the gay couple declares their "love" for each other has NOTHING to do with altering whether or not such a relationship is a sin or not. It is.  Accept it and get over it. 

The Church allows these heretics year after year after year to spread their fork-tongued lies to members of Christ's Holy Catholic Church and no one at the Vatican seems to care.  Why not?  

Is the Church still in the business of saving souls or are we just too busy saving sister earth now?

Will someone at the Vatican answer that question?

In Christ,

When will the Vatican end Catholic parishes in gay pride parades?

by Connecticut Catholic Corner

***WARNING: GAY PRIDE PARADE IMAGES***

St. Joseph’s Parish in Seattle, Washington is again promoting and participating in the Seattle Gay Pride Parade.

From St. Joseph's Parish bulletin:

Save the Date: Sunday, June 29th
Join the LGBT Ministry as we participate in the Seattle Pride Parade.
You are invited to join St. Joseph’s LGBT Ministry in a ministry of presence. For three years, as a commu­nity ignited by the Eucharist to love and serve, we have been the Catholic presence at Seattle’s LGBT Pride Pa­rade. It is a wonderful way to be a sign and presence of faith, hope, and love in the community. Please join us whether you are an ally, a parent or sibling of someone who identifies as LGBT, or are a member of the LGBT community, all are welcome. The larger the numbers the more the community will feel blessed by the love of Christ. Join us Sunday, June 22nd, after the 5:30PM Mass, for an informational session on where and when to meet for the Pride Parade on Sunday, June 29th.
If you have questions and can not attend the infor­mational session please contact Meghan Mayo at meghan.m.mayo@gmail.com.

I am HIGHLY offended they claim the reason for marching in a "gay pride" parade is because they "as a community [have been] ignited by the Eucharist".  Jesus Christ, Body, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist does NOT 'ignite' people into heretical beliefs or to support perversion. I am revolted by such a statement about my Lord in the Eucharist. 

Also in the parish bulletin:

Gay and Catholic?

The St. Joseph LGBT Ministry is seeking nominees to serve on its steering committee to help discern direc­tion, set goals, and plan social and spiritual events. Through this ministry LGBT Catholics work together to build community among gay Catholics within the parish and beyond, to ensure all people find St. Joe's a wel­coming place to nourish their souls. If you are inter­ested in serving, or want to nominate someone, please contact Deacon Steve at 206-965-1646 or stevew@stjo­sephparish.org

A “place to nourish their souls” eh?  

The ONLY way to “nourish your soul” when it is in sin is to REPENT of sin (in Confession) and avoid the things that lead you back into sin. Marching in 'gay pride' parades is NOT avoiding sin.  

If your Catholic parish is advertising joining gay parades it is NOT NOURISHING YOUR SOUL!  It is leading you to HELL! Do not allow you or your family to be led into sin by your own Catholic priest or parish!! 

There is no mention of Courage, the approved ‘welcoming place’ for LGBT Catholics on St. Joseph's parish website.  Why not?  Because Courage actually tells LGBT Catholics they must be celibate and live chaste lives.  This is NOT what St. Joseph’s parish in Seattle tells its members nor the entire community watching their actions as they pride-fully march in gay parades while their priest, Fr. John Whitney stands in the sidelines snapping photo after photo of the debauchery marching in front of him (more on that below).

Here are some Seattle gay pride parade photos FROM the St. Joseph's parish website for all the world to see:

What message exactly does that send to the world?  Does this parish send the message that LGBT people must be chaste and live celibate lives like the Church teaches?

Homosexual persons are called to chastity.  By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection (CCC 2359).

Do the parishioners in the St. Joseph's parish photos look like they believe what the Church teaches about homosexuality?  Is that the message you get from seeing these images on this CATHOLIC PARISH website?

What about the images NOT shown on the parish website?  What did the rest of the gay pride parade look like?  What did the parishioners witness, support and participate in?

*warning: offensive images below*

Here is what St. Joseph’s parish supports and participates in…tell me if you see authentic Catholic teaching in any of these Seattle Pride Parade images (pay close attention to who is in the last photo).

And here is Fr. Whitney at the 2013 Seattle Gay Pride Parade shouting and waving and snapping photos of the perversions we see in the above images.  Apparently Father likes what he sees and wants to keep the images to fondly look back on for years to come.  Why else take photos?

*I wonder what photos Fr. Whitney is taking for his personal photo albums?*

The local media (Seattlepi.com) took note of the heretical priest the year before for his defiance against the Church and wrote an article naming Fr. Whitney one of “Seattle’s most intriguing people of 2012”:

Fr. John Whitney, S.J.: The pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church, on Capitol Hill, made national headlines in the fall campaign by suggesting that there's a higher authority than church hierarchy. After Archbishop J. Peter Sartain delivered a broadside against same-sex marriage, Whitney issued an "e-blast" saying that Sartain's words should be respectfully considered, but in light of the "call to conscience" and "authority never supplants conscience." Whitney, a Jesuit, led discussions about this at St. Joe's, and supported America's embattled nuns: Sartain leads a team of three bishops charged by the Vatican with making the sisters toe the line. A big "Support the Sisters" march was organized in a meeting room at the Capitol Hill church.

Fr. Whitney has time and again REFUSED to listen to Archbishop Sartain. 

Why hasn't he been FORMALLY disciplined?

Why has he been allowed to continue to support perversion? 

A priest who defies his Bishop, the Vatican and teaches heresy should NOT BE A PRIEST!

WHY hasn't he been removed??  

What is the Vatican waiting for?  

More heresies to be taught to the laity?  

More souls to be lost?

A good Catholic (by that I mean one who isn't a heretic and actually believes all the Church teaches) has to ask…does anyone in the Church even know what SCANDAL means any more?

• Scandal—Scandal is an attitude or behavior that leads another to do evil. If someone is deliberately lead into a grave offense, that person’s tempter commits a grave sin (CCC 2284 and 2285). Jesus said, "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matthew 18:6). 

 

While the Archdiocese website (under the Courage/EnCourage LBGT page) clearly states...

“Courage is a spiritual support group for men and women who struggle with homosexual feelings. Members embrace the lasting freedom and joy – but also the cross – of chastity, in accordance with the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexuality.”

 ...it does not seem to enforce what it preaches. The Archdioceses says one thing, while its parishes do another.  Just who is in charge of protecting and promoting the Faith to the people?

So far Archbishop J. Peter Sartain has done nothing to end St. Joseph’s parish from supporting and marching in gay pride parades year after year. 

Another example of complete and utter FAILURE by Catholic hierarchy. Come on, get your act together!  The Church has been around for more than two thousand years now and STILL we can't seem to get the Church to discipline one of Her priests!

Does anyone at the Vatican care that priests and Bishops and Archbishops are LEADING people to hell by their own actions or (and in the case of Archbishop Sartain) in-actions?

What has to happen for the Church to put an END to this?  What will it take?  People are going to HELL and it looks like most of the Catholic Church simply doesn’t give a damn (literally).

Where are the Godly men who are willing to FIGHT this evil?  Are there any left within the Church?

Does Pope Francis care?  If he does nothing he is either ignorant of the problem or does not care that souls are going to Hell under his watch.

He recently said “anyone in the mafia is excommunicated” – how about telling the clergy “any clergy supporting or participating in gay pride parades are heretics to the Faith and are stripped of their pastoral positions”?  And then removing them from parishes AND forbidding them to speak publicly about it as to STOP the scandal and damage these men are creating.

Enough is enough.  The Church needs to CLEAN HOUSE.  

  

Pope Francis focuses on the money issues while souls are being lost.  Get your priorities straight Holy Father, people are losing their souls because of the damage Catholic clergy are inflicting on the world with their heretical teachings.

Remove ALL the heretical priests from the Church- everyone one of them from the top down.

We might have to be a very small Church, but at least we would be a Catholic Church teaching the PURE Catholic Faith to the people.

In Christ,
