The endgame of the battle between the Catholic Church, as personified by the Archbishop of San Francisco, Salvatore Cordileone, and the champions of “gay rights” who now comprise the entire media, political, and economic power structure of the city of San Francisco, and much of the Western World, when thought through, resolves itself into one single issue: will sodomy to be celebrated in Catholic schools and churches or not? A number of San Francisco parishes have embraced what Pope Francis has called the “ideological colonization that tries to destroy the family” and have answered the question with a “Yes!”
San Francisco’s Most Holy Redeemer, the “80-90% gay” institution that, according to Jesuit Father Donal Godfrey, “calls the rest of the institution to conversion” has led the way. Their ongoing actions are known internationally and need not be repeated here. A recent example is the August 24, 2014 Most Holy Redeemer parish bulletin, where then-associate pastor Father Matthew Link C.pp.S., wrote “Next Sunday our little brother, (name redacted) will make his First Holy Communion. In this wonderfully good moment for all of us, we gather around the table with (name redacted) and his Dads, Kevin and Brian…” In 2015 Link was named Most Holy Redeemer’s new pastor.
While Most Holy Redeemer has led the way, the city’s Jesuit parishes have never been far behind. The June 14 parish bulletin of St. Ignatius Church, the parish church of the (Jesuit) University of San Francisco, contained the following entry for its “Summer Film Series”: “August 15 Love is Strange – Starring John Lithgow as Ben and Alfred Molina as George. A married couple, together for many years, can no longer afford to stay in their Manhattan apartment after George, a respected teacher, loses his job at a Catholic school….”
Wikipedia describes the movie: “Ben and George, a same-sex couple from Manhattan, get married after 39 years together. George is a Catholic school music teacher, and when word of the marriage reaches the archdiocese, he is fired. Without his salary, the couple can no longer afford their New York apartment and are forced to ask their friends and family for shelter, resulting in their separation. Ben stays in Brooklyn with his nephew Elliot, Elliot’s novelist wife Kate, and their teenage son Joey, while George bunks with their (now former) neighbors, a younger same-sex couple of two party-loving cops, Roberto and Ted.”
Love is Strange is directed by Ira Sachs. Mr. Sachs’ other works include Keep the Lights On, which is also about two homosexual men (who meet on a phone ‘sex’ chat line), and The Delta about an 18 year old male who enters the homosexual life style and, according to Wikipedia, commits sodomy “with ‘men he didn’t know’.” In an August, 2014 America Magazine review of Love is Strange, John Anderson wrote “Sachs’ target is most pointedly the Catholic Church.” In an August 2014 interview on the Hammer and Thump film blog Sachs was open about the propagandistic purpose of Love is Strange: “Yes, to me the film is about education. We all are teaching somebody something. What do we impart as institutions, as educators, as parents, as lovers, as part of a family? That collective education is partly what the film is about.”
Readers will note that the St. Ignatius parish bulletin had described the two men without qualification as “a married couple.” This is a rejection of the teaching of the Catholic Church that a marriage can only between one man and one woman.
San Francisco’s other Jesuit parish, St. Agnes, is less than a mile away from St. Ignatius. The opening slideshow on the St. Agnes webpage immediately attempts to mainstream sodomy: “Saint Agnes Parish Draws Women and Men, Young and Old, Gay and Straight.” The statement not only attempts to equate sodomy with real, fruitful sex, it elevates varieties of sexual desire to the plane of being male or female, young or old. It’s an ongoing tactic in the LGBT agenda: to equate the method one uses in having an orgasm to the level of a life-defining event. The statement also privileges sodomy as a sin: no other sinners, judging from the statement, are drawn to St. Agnes, or are worthy of mention.
On June 17, 2015 Rorate Coeli published excerpts from a 2008 interview in the magazine Voce di Padre Pio with Cardinal Carlo Caffara, Archbishop of Bologna, Italy. The Cardinal quoted excerpts from a letter he had received from Sister Lucia dos Santos, the Fatima visionary. His Eminence said “At the start of this work entrusted to me by the Servant of God John Paul II, I wrote to Sister Lucia of Fatima through her Bishop as I couldn’t do so directly. Unexplainably however, since I didn’t expect an answer, seeing that I had only asked for prayers, I received a very long letter with her signature – now in the Institute’s archives. In it we find written: the final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family. Don’t be afraid, she added, because anyone who works for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be fought and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue.”
Well, this does not really answer the central inquiry: will the Catholic Church in SF (and throughout the world) remain passive — as did C. Dolan while two NY Senators (both Knights of Columbus) refused to follow their Faith and, instead, voted “yes” to sodomite marriage in NY — or stand up for its Faith and say “No” to the HomoFascists?
So far, the FrancisChurch is demanding that clerics all be like the Nancy-Boy Cardinals Wuerl and Cupich, whining about confrontation over sexual sins, and just lovin’ time spent with Zombie-Liberals (and handing out our Lord to whomever). Abp. Cordileone is certainly better than the vast majority of bishops, but he is not much of a fighter, in the final analysis. Champions need to go the…
(Cont’d) “full championship rounds (now sadly only 12 and not 15) to be victorious. The fact that almost all clergy in SF pointedly ignore Cordileone, and he does nothing to up the ante with an aggressive response, like shutting down MHR and reopening with the FSSP in charge. The sodomite lovers appear to have won.
Yeah, the Church lacks the will to tackle this problem. Not a single California bishop offered even a hint of support for Archbishop Cordelione, and now he seems to be buckling too. They all cringe before the media and the feminists, and say sweet things that make the fems favor them and the media write puff pieces about them. The Church will not be reformed by men like that. We need holy men with brave hearts, or at least men who can bear being unpopular with the powers that be, just as the early Christians were.
There is no FrancisChurch.
(Cont’d) “One baptized man is worth more than all the animals ever created, or to be created. Animals do not share any common destiny with Mankind (although one is tempted to make an exception for dogs; a higher form of life than many, many humans). While this work demands study, it is disappointing; more like a talented undergraduate at one of America’s diploma mills.”
Truer words you’ve never spoken, YFC. This 2000 yr old miracle, this Bride, this one Holy and Apostolic Church is not the Francis Church. Francis will go and another will take his place. He’s obviously giving it his best shot, like Obama, to make changes as quickly and as difficult to change as he can, but like all those driven to ” improve” what God has already created he will find it harder to do than he anticipates. And it will never be his Church. I wish people would stop calling Her that! Why do men always denigrate their enemies’ mother?
St. Christopher,
Remember……God is in charge! Keep the Faith:)

The Tax Subsidized Anti-Male Hate Riot / S.F. Dyke March scheduled for June 27 is IMO an even greater threat to society than their Gaystapo Sodomite Allies staging the Homo-Anal Coprophile ‘Conga Line of Buggery’.
While depraved behaviors by the ‘happy buggers’ spread treatment resistant diseases…
– Dykes Literally Demand the Extermination of the Male Gender, and with their growing takeover of the Military (from safe desks) are in a position to create the “World Devoid of Men” they publicly riot for.

This is it. I’m coming out. I want the world to know. I’m a black, lesbian platypus trapped in a white, straight guy’s body. This is my truth. It’s my experience. It’s how I identify. It’s my reality (actual reality notwithstanding). Transracial, transgender and transpecies lives matter (#TransLivesMatter), and I’m declaring myself an out and proud member of the LGBTTT community.
Crazy, you say? Don’t judge me, hater. This is my race-species-gender identity and expression, whether real or perceived, and if you refuse to play along, then you’re violating my civil…
