Catholic Priest doesn't like Catholic teaching on sin

Father Michael Crisostomo

Here we ago again, with yet another Catholic priest who says the Catholic Church is "hurtful" to people (specifically homosexuals) because the Church teaches that homosexual acts are sinful and that there is such a thing as "damnation". 

He states he simply does not like Catholic parishes that talk about "damnation and that homosexuality is a sin".  It's "hurtful" for the laity to hear about such things, in his opinion. I have to wonder what exactly does he say in his homilies that never mention sin or damnation? 

So after hearing about the shooting in Orlando, Florida at the gay nightclub, Father Michael Crisostomo (A.K.A. "Pale Mike" and nominee for the 2016 Lumen Christi Award) along with the local LGBT groups and "Miss Pacificana Guam" (transgender) will work together to promote a vigil Mass for the LGBT community - making sure not to mention sin or the Church's authentic teaching on homosexuality so no one is offended or hurt by Catholic teaching at a Catholic Mass. (Where is the worry for souls being lost?)

Quote: "Crisostomo acknowledged that many members of the LGBT community have strayed from the church because of its anti-gay teachings. While he has personally reached out to many of them, he said he doesn’t blame them for not coming to the church they were baptized in.
“It is hurtful when you hear a parish talk about damnation and that homosexuality is a sin,” he said.
His hope is that the church can rebuild and regain the credibility of the church.
“Many of them feel a separation and many of them even feel a rejection,” he said. “These are words many of them share with me, that they’ve been rejected by the church and I acknowledge that.” [end]

Anyone else wondering why our Catholic priests are apologizing for God's Laws? 

If Father Pale Mike doesn't like the Catholic parishes speaking about "damnation and that homosexuality is a sin" what's he doing as a priest in the Holy Catholic Church? 


In Christ,

Scripture told with photos

By Connecticut Catholic Corner



Contemplating Saint Paul's words in Sacred Scripture with images…

2 Timothy 4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: ² proclaim the message; 

 

 

be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable;

convince, rebuke, and encourage,

…with the utmost patience in teaching.

³ For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine,

but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires,

⁴ and will turn away from listening to the truth…

and wander away to myths. 

⁵ As for you, always be sober

...endure suffering,

do the work of an evangelist,

carry out your ministry fully.

In Christ,
