Over at the deceptively entitled “National Catholic Reporter”
another garbage filled article has been posted about a Catholic *cough* parish that is
likely “the gayest Catholic parish in the nation” because 80% of its
parishioners are LGBT people.
Fr. Jack McClure takes the Nativity story of
Mary and Joseph seeking shelter to give birth to Jesus and compares it with homosexuals and
transvestites being “accepted” (you’ll see that word over and over again) by
Catholic parishes with a “no questions asked” policy. In other words, the
homosexual relationships are a don’t ask, don’t tell policy in this
*Catholic* parish.
No need to
repent. No need to confess that mortal
sin. This parish and its priests either
don’t believe homosexual acts are indeed sin so they don’t preach the need to
repent and turn from that sin OR they wish
to change Church teaching on the sin of homosexual acts thus having nothing to repent of. Personally, from reading this nonsense I
believe it’s a bit of both.
Quote:
“The Mass has an intimacy lasting less than a half hour, punctuated by
McClure's homily. Coming two days after Christmas, he references the Nativity
story and Mary and Joseph's search for shelter.
"Everyone
needs shelter; everyone needs a protective environment," McClure notes,
adding this is precisely what Most Holy Redeemer attempts to do -- provide
shelter. He talks about the need to maintain an open and accepting parish."And just as
our parish is an accepting parish," he adds, "each of us needs to be
accepting people. But sometimes the most difficult thing about being accepting
is accepting ourselves."His words, hardly
idle, seem to have special application to those gathered for the liturgy. They
listen intently. A few nod.Most Holy Redeemer
Parish has earned a reputation locally -- and beyond -- for being a distinctly
open and accepting parish. It actively welcomes everyone, no questions asked.
The parish motto is "God's inclusive love proclaimed here." A banner
hanging above two large doors that open up into the church is inscribed with
these words.But this isn't
what makes Most Holy Redeemer, or "MHR," as the locals call it, one
of the nation's most distinctive parishes. The parish has the reputation of
likely being the "gayest" Catholic parish in the nation. Eighty
percent of its parishioners are LGBT people.” –end quote-
Notice how often this priest talks about “accepting”
the sinners with their sins and not a peep about repenting or the warning that
to die in mortal sin means eternal damnation?
Not a peep. You'd think (hope and pray) that a priest would be most concerned with saving souls, but not this priest and not this parish.
Let's just be “accepting” and “welcoming”.
I’m sure the devil is accepting and
welcoming of these sinners too.
While Jesus wants the sinner to repent and turn from sin, Satan wants the sinner to stay in his/her sin.
Christ's holy priests tell people to confess their sins and repent. Satan's unholy priests tell the people they are welcome and accepted in their sin.
Now the article goes on, to of course end
with the now infamous destructive words of our dear off the cuff, make a mess Pope
Francis…
Quote:
“The Catholic institutional church standoff against LGBT people and
their supporters and, in turn, their views toward Catholicism, held steady for
a decade or more -- until July 29, 2013. That was the day Pope Francis, not yet
four months into his pontificate, answered a reporter's question about gay
priests in the Vatican, saying: "If a person is gay and seeks God and has
goodwill, who am I to judge?"
Francis' words
quickly defined his pontificate as one that would be less judgmental and more
focused on the mercy of God. His humility and pastoral outreach stirred
countless millions of Catholics, but landed perhaps most welcomingly among LGBT
Catholics.” –end quote-
Ahh yes…and there it is again… the “who am
I to judge?” get-out-of-jail for free card used by homosexuals and liberals the
world over. That card apparently works
with Pope Francis, but I seriously doubt it will work with Almighty God on
Judgement Day.
