In  columns  published by The Anchor, Rev. Roger Landry said that the so-called “gay pride” Mass in Boston “has brought to the surface issues that extend far beyond the boundaries of one parish or archdiocese.” In June the diocese cancelled the Mass originally planned by the St. Cecilia parish’s Rainbow Ministry to coincide with the city’s gay pride month, and allowed the event to be rescheduled in July as a “Welcoming Mass.” While the diocese denied the Mass was intended to celebrate gay pride, the original announcement in the parish bulletin had explicitly said the mass was to be held “in celebration of Boston’s Pride Month .” “The controversy touches not only on the subject of the pastoral care of the Church toward those with sam

John] Unni rescheduled a Mass of welcome for all his parishioners to a time that would not associate the Mass with the Gay Pride agenda.” O’Malley said, “Catholics who have same sex attractions are often criticized by their friends for coming to Mass,” and that those close to such

Bishop René Henry Gracida on his blog Tuesday posted an article by Joe Sacerdo of the conservative Catholic blog Bryan Hehir Exposed discussing the event originally planned by the Rainbow Ministry of St. Cecilia’s Parish to coincide with Boston’s gay pride month , before it was cancelled by the Archdiocese of Boston .  Gay rights supporters in the parish were only partially mollified when the archdiocese  clarified  that the Mass, themed “All Are Welcome,” was being rescheduled for July 10. The diocese had said it was worried that the original date gave “the unintended impression” that the Mass was meant to celebrate gay pride month.  However, the original statement in the church bullet
