GAY TRUTH

NEW YORK CITY, March 10, 2014 – The Archdiocese of New York has told LifeSiteNews that Cardinal Timothy Dolan's decision to congratulate a homosexual football player for coming out of the closet did not mean the cardinal “was unconcerned about Church teaching on homosexual activity.” During an interview Sunday on NBC's " Meet the Press " focusing on the "Francis effect" in the Church, host David Gregory asked the cardinal about the decision of Michael Sam, a 24-year-old senior at the University of Missouri and defensive end, to announce that he is a homosexual. “Good for him,” Cardinal Dolan replied. “I would have no sense of judgment on him. God bless ya.” He added that “the same Bible that tells us, that teaches us about the virtues of chastity and the virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells us not to judge people. So, I would say, ‘Bravo.'” The cardinal's reaction was more exuberant than that of Michael Sam Sr., the player

Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York , Bishop Robert Morlino of Madison, Wisconsin , and Bishop Thomas Olmsted of Phoenix, Arizona have all released public statements explaining Pope Francis’ remarks on homosexuality made on the plane Monday returning from Rio. The main focus was on these remarks of Pope Francis: “A gay person who is seeking God, who is of good will — well, who am I to judge him? The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well. It says one must not marginalize these persons, they must be integrated into society. The problem isn’t this (homosexual) orientation — we must be like brothers and sisters.” All three bishops point to Francis’ remarks as a restatement of traditional Catholic teaching on the matter, seeing the massive media attention as an opportunity to point out the Church’s loving stance. Bishop Olmsted said : Pope Francis’ remarks reiterate Catholic teaching that the Church is open to all people, including those with same-sex

ROME, April 4, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Experts say, despite an apparently softer tone on homosexuals from two leading American cardinals, the Roman Catholic Church will not and cannot shift its moral teaching on same-sex "marriage" or the grave sin of homosexual acts . Cardinals Timothy Dolan , the Archbishop of New York , and Donald Wuerl of Washington D.C., both said in separate interviews that the Church would not be altering its position on “gay marriage” but both are being praised by Terrence Weldon, a British homosexual activist and author of the ‘blog “Queering the Church”. Cardinal Donald Wuerl . In an interview with  This Week  on Easter Sunday , Dolan was asked what he would say to “a gay couple who told him: ‘We love God. We love the Church. But we also love each other, and we want to raise a family in faith.’” Dolan replied, “When it comes to sexual love, that is intended only for a man and woman in marriage, where children can come about natu

Jennifer Fulwiler writes at  ConversionDiary.com . April 2, 2013 ( ConversionDiary ) - The other day we got together with a friend of mine from high school named Andrew*, and his boyfriend, Tom. They moved out of state earlier this year, but a business trip brought him and Tom back through town recently, and we jumped at the chance to go out to dinner with them. This was one of the first times in a long while that we’d had a chance to sit down and talk with them, just the four of us. We caught up on life and work, Andrew and I clicking as well as we always have. I wore waterproof mascara because I knew I’d end up laughing to the point of tears, which, in fact, I did. Then, when my husband and Tom went to pick up a round of drinks at the bar, Andrew had a question for me. “So,” he said, grabbing a tortilla chip from the basket in front of us. “What do you think of gay marriage?” The last time we hung out, this unspoken topic was not as palpably present as it was now.

WASHINGTON , May 10, 2012  – The president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York , said that President Obama’s newly-announced support for redefining marriage is a blow to the institution of marriage, but unsurprising given the Obama administration ’s record. Cardinal Timothy Dolan “President Obama’s comments today in support of the redefinition of marriage are deeply saddening,” wrote Dolan in  a letter  posted on the USCCB website.  “The Catholic Bishops stand ready to affirm every positive measure taken by the President and the Administration to strengthen marriage and the family. However, we cannot be silent in the face of words or actions that would undermine the institution of marriage, the very cornerstone of our society.  The people of this country, especially our children, deserve better.” The Obama campaign recently   released a list   of the president’s many actions in favor of the gay rights agenda, including refusin
