Parishioners sing ‘All are welcome’ during Creed to protest dismissal of gay ‘married’ music director

A small group of Catholic parishioners in Providence, Rhode Island , protested the removal of a recently ‘married’ homosexual music director by wearing rainbow-colored paraphernalia to the Sunday morning service and singing a song about inclusion during the recitation of the Nicene Creed . Satan was singing along. Fr. Francesco Francese, who took over St. Mary’s parish earlier this summer, removed Michael Templeton from his role as music director after discovering that the homosexual had ‘married’ his same-sex partner last year. As many as 30 parishioners joined in the singing of “All are welcome” instead of joining in with Fr. Francese in reciting the creed. They told reporters afterward that this was their way of protesting Templeton’s removal. Satan was pleased with these parishioners.

The divinely-appointed redemptive agency for the recovery of those struggling with sins is the church. It is the covenant institution—the family of God —which best cares for sinners and saints: for sinners by war

Image via Wikipedia The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) grew out of the experience of its founder, Troy D. Perry (b. 1940), as a homosexual man in the Protestant church . Licensed as a Baptist preacher, Perry was drawn to Pentecostalism and became an evangelist for the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) . He later married, but an early homosexual encounter led to his dismissal from the church. He became a member of the Church of God of Prophecy , and worked as a pastor in Southern California. Over the next few years, he came to accept his homosexuality, ended his  marriage , and left the Church of God of Prophecy. In 1968, following a period of reflection on his call to the ministry and his sexual orientation, he began a church serving the homosexual community in Los Angeles, the Metropolitan Community Church, the first congregation of what would soon be a new Denomination. The movement would enjoy great success as the  gay  movement developed throug
