GAY TRUTH

ROME , September 3, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A series of videos sponsored by the Jesuit Roman Catholic religious order , titled “Who are we to judge,” in reference to a comment made earlier this year by Pope Francis about homosexual priests, has come under fire for promoting the idea that there is no conflict between being a faithful Catholic and being an active homosexual. The video series was produced by the Ignatian News Network, a YouTube channel that is a joint project of the US Jesuits and Loyola Productions in Los Angeles, to feature videos about the work and mission of the American Jesuits.

In a shocking revelation in his opening remarks, the bishop told the crowd that his former secretary was brutally murdered by a gay activist simply for suggesting that he change his lifestyle. Heckling and insults from the crowd and were expected and received as the bishop lay out the argument in favor of traditional marriage, after which he concluded, “some of you may be sneering, and I might be lucky if you said you were willing to hear me again on this topic some other time… In the end, I hope that at least a few of you will agree with my remarks.” Bishop Thomas Paprocki Moderated by journalist Robert Blair Kaiser , the event was held at Shadow Rock United Church of Christ Church.

Men wear pants. Women put on makeup. Girls get pink and boys blue,” states Advocate LUC, the school’s gay rights group, on the event’s Facebook site. “This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be if we never question why gender is rigidly controlled.” One of the participants in Loyola University's "drag" fashion show.

At the event the pair were confronted by a reporter with CNS News, who asked the priest whether he agrees with the Catholic Church ’s teaching on homosexuality – a question that the priest demurred from answering. The March 30 event on Capitol Hill was hosted by a group called “Equally Blessed” which describes itself as “a coalition of faithful Catholics who support full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ( LGBT ) people both in the church and in civil society,” reports  CNS News . The group was focusing on the results of a recent poll that found an increase in support by Catholics for homosexuality. Following his
