When the Washington Post Spiked My Sex Abuse Tip

Image
Mark Judge On August 17, Washington Post religion reporter Michelle Boorstein tweeted the following: “the 2018 Catholic clergy sex abuse crisis for some U.S. Catholics is the opening of civil war over homosexuality and Vatican II. The unanswered question is how many Catholics.” In fact, the Catholic civil war over homosexuality has been going on since at least 2006. That’s when Boorstein herself ignored a tip I gave her about homosexuality and its connection to sexual abuse at a Catholic school I had attended from 1979-1983. My Tip to the Washington Post Boorstein at the time was covering the story of a priest at Georgetown Prep. Georgetown was an all-boys Jesuit high school in Maryland. The priest had been convicted of sexually abusing a male student. She ignored my tips, which was a doozy. They would have revealed the larger problem of the gay mafia that had taken over the Catholic Church in the 1960s and 1970s. Like the bishops, Boorstein ignored the truth. The 2006 story involv

Homosexual Irish Prime Minister to promote sinful homosexual agenda when he meets Pope

Ireland’s Prime Minister has said he hopes to challenge Pope Francis on homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” when he visits Ireland for the Vatican-sponsored World Meeting of Families later this month. The Emerald Isle’s current Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, is an openly gay man with a male partner, who has used his position as a national leader to promote gay issues on the international stage. When asked at a recent press briefing what he might say to the Pope about the absence of gay families during the promotion of the upcoming World Meeting of Families (WMF), Varadkar said he would express “our views as a society and a government that families come in all sorts of different forms and that includes families that are… by same-sex parents and other families as well,” according to a report by The Journal . The question concerned gay activists’ continuing outrage over the removal of images of same-sex couples as well as pro-homosexual texts from a reissued booklet created by the cou

Retreats for ‘gay priests, brothers’ and ‘lesbian sisters’ to take place in Milwaukee archdiocese

From October 2 to 4, 2018,  Fr. Bryan Massingale  will lead " a retreat for gay priests, brothers, and deacons " at  Siena Retreat Center  in Racine, Wisconsin, in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The Siena Retreat Center is overseen by the Racine Dominican Sisters. The retreat is sponsored by the dissident pro-gay marriage group  New Ways Ministry . Later this year, on November 16-18, 2018, the Siena Retreat Center will also host a conference for " lesbian sisters, congregational leaders, and vocation & formation ministers ." The speakers include Cristina L.H. Traina, the chair of religious studies at Northwestern University. Traina is a member of  St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church  in Evanston, Illinois, Archdiocese of Chicago, where she is active in the  Gay and Lesbian Ministry . In 2013, concerning the legalization of same-sex marriage,  she wrote : Same-sex marriage initiatives do not require Catholic clergy to marry gay and lesbian couples and do not

Catholic church- God did NOT make you gay - it is against God's holy nature

On  Thursday’s EWTN The World Over  Father Gerald Murray took apart the heterodox notion floated by some in the Church that the Lord creates people to be “gay”. He also derided the idea that God would make someone the wrong sex. The New York priest and Canon lawyer made his comments during this week’s Papal Posse segment with the program’s host Raymond Arroyo and editor of  The Catholic Thing, Robert Royal.  Arroyo had asked Murray and Royal to comment on the Vatican having included the term “LGBT” in the working document for the upcoming Youth Synod. News of the controversial move surfaced this week - the first time the Holy See has used the term in an official document. Catholics have been expressing concern that the Vatican is further capitulating to the “gay” lobby, and not surprisingly has been lauded by the “LGBT” movement for its “gay”-affirming actions. “This is a big problem,” Murray stated. “We do not use the political language of the gay rights and associa

The Pope said - God made gays

According to an article in  El Pais ,  Spain ’s largest newspaper, Pope Francis told a male sex abuse victim: “ God made you gay.” The comments were allegedly made during a meeting between Pope Francis and the victims of Chilean Catholic sex-offender priest Fernando Karadima . One of the men abused by the priest, former seminarian  Juan Carlos Cruz , described his meeting with Pope Francis. Jesuit priest James Martin posted a link to the interview on his social media accounts which included a translation of one comment made by the Pope to Cruz: James Martin, SJ ✔ @JamesMartinSJ 20 May Pope Francis: "God made you gay." https:// infovaticana.com/2018/05/19/cru z-asegura-papa-le-dijo-dios-te-gay/  … James Martin, SJ ✔ @JamesMartinSJ "Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. God made you like that and he loves you like that, and I do not care. The Pope wants you like that, you have to be happy with who you are."

The confusion and casualties of the Gay Civil War in the Catholic Church

In the 1990s, I attended a gay wedding ceremony at a Catholic Church in San Francisco – performed by a Catholic priest . Friends and acquaintances had similar marriage "blessings" in San Francisco. As of a few years ago, when I spoke with another priest involved in these ceremonies, this practice continued. When I left the Castro in 1999, I thought my experiences with facilitating and lecherous priests were endemic to a relatively small section of the world ranging from the Castro to USF . Ten years later, when I started writing about the topic, I heard stories from Catholics (primarily mothers with "gay" sons) who lived in every part of the U.S. They told a similar tragic tale – how a concerned parent sent a confused kid to an officially sanctioned LGBT ministry in his diocese, and the boy later emerged as a gay rights advocate. They also usually picked up a boyfriend at these ministries. When I began my outreach in San Francisco to the LGBT community,

Homosexual Marriage - why keep talking about homosexuality?

Image
We need to write about homosexuality because it is addressed in the  Bible , it is a moral issue, and it affects society.  Therefore, it also affects religious and social institutions.  As the influence of homosexuality increases, it will continue to invade our churches, our homes, our families, and affect change around us.  Therefore, we need to have rational and biblical defences for the Christian position as well as an examination of the problems that homosexuality brings. The Bible clearly condemns homosexuality as a  sin,  and Christians who seriously follow God 's Word must also condemn it as sin.  Consider these words: Lev. 18:22 , "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." Lev. 20:13 , "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them." 1 Cor. 6:9-10 , "Or do you
