Father Joseph Illo gave a 14-minute homily on Trinity Sunday, July 12 at Star of the Sea parish in San Francisco.
He began discussing the relation between the Trinity and love: “The greatest truth about God is the Trinity. He is loved because He is a community of persons…. Everybody’s looking for love…. Almost every popular song, every movie is about love….”
And then, “June in San Francisco is a special month – because it’s the month of the Sacred Heart… God has a heart for us. God is love, He has a heart for us….
“But in San Francisco the Sacred Heart is not what is celebrated. All over the city and all over corporate America, it is Pride. All the sporting events. Target, WalMart – it’s rainbow clothing….
“Even at our Vatican embassy, in Rome a rainbow flag flies for the month of June-
“Pride is a sin – the worst of the capital sins…
“The Sacred Heart makes June humility month. How about humility month rather than pride month?
“What does the rainbow flag mean? It means sin. It means unnatural acts. The flag promotes pride in disordered acts. America is proud of this perversion.
“Let’s help each other be pure…. The tragedy of the break-down of the family is a result of the loss of purity…. All the atheist movements – including pride – hate the family.”
I hope all our fellow Catholics take note of this
PRIDEMONTH….spells Demon in the middle
I like the idea of Humility Month. Humility is of God: Pride is antithetical of God.
LGBT people speak of pride, not as the opposite to humility, but as the opposite of shame. Of course any pride that is the opposite of humility is a sin.
I wonder if Father Illo goes to North Beach and gives homilies denouncing Italian Pride in October? https://sanfranciscoitaly.com/post/99907179213/a-fantastic-weekend-of-italian-pride-and-fun-in
Utter nonsense YFC, but you unintentionally proved what we always knew. Shame is something the gay syndicate has none of. They will expose themselves and perform whatever perversions their demonic hearts desire. They are morally corrupt and inverse
There’s nothing to be proud of in identifying as LGBT. There’s plenty to be proud of in having Italian heritage.
Do blind people take pride in their blindness? No. Neither should LGBTs. Do we speak of or promote “Blind Pride”? No. Sane blind people would rather not be blind because it’s an unfortunate affliction. So is LGBT. It’s an affliction. Sane people would rather not identify as LGBT. Being Italian isn’t an affliction.
Our society is suffering from mass psychological delusions about sexuality.
That should settle the matter. If you wouldn’t speak of blind pride or ALS pride or high cholesterol pride, then don’t speak of LGBT pride. LGBT pride is absurd.
People living with blindness should not be treated as shameful by society. In that regard, we could speak of blind pride.
There used to be a store in fisherman’s wharf geared toward left handed people. So much of society is geared, literally, for right handed people and up until a few decades ago left handed people were said to be inferior, less intelligent. Society tried to convince left handed people that they could learn to be right handed. There was even a word for socially awkward people that is the French word for “left”, it is gauche. Having a store geared for left handed people give them a sense of pride rather than shame at their orientation.
Being left handed is not a violation of the natural law, sodomy and the celebration of it is…
Please remember dear bohemond, pride month is not sodomy month.
So we can agree that the inherent dignity of human beings who suffer from an ailment or an affliction should always be respected while at the same time acknowledging that the ailment or affliction is not desirable to have.
Blind people should not be ostracized nor humiliated, but blindness is still a disorder.
LGBTs should not be ostracized nor humiliated, but LGBT is still a disorder.
There is nothing shameful in being a homosexual: Practicing homosexual acts, on the other hand, is very shameful. It takes sinful pride to think that something that is so debasing should be glorified.
The Italian community in America was once treated with scorn and felt diarespected, shamed. Their use of ” pride” in North each is similar to the disorder group’s , moving away from shame. Italians in SF couldn’t get bank loans,so the Bank of America was started by them and for them. Their use of pride did not stem from sin but from natural human rights
It is a weird feeling when you are on the social media of a Catholic charity and you see the names of people who stole from you being thanked as donors.
Almost as weird as listening to someone brag about how they give money to a family with a sick child when they are living off the charity of their siblings.
All Church going Catholics.
We need more than just humility month. We need lessons in virtue every sermon.
What? Huh? Who stole from who?
“…All Church going Catholics….” I can’t make any sense of your post. A few words of clarification wouldn’t hurt.
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people,
not at all referring to the immoral of this world or the greedy and robbers or idolaters; for you would then have to leave the world.
But I now write to you not to associate with anyone named a brother, if he is immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunkard, or a robber, not even to eat with such a person.
For why should I be judging outsiders? Is it not your business to judge those within?
God will judge those outside. “Purge the evil person from your midst.”
1 Corinthians 5:9-13
The enemy is within.
Well stated Fr.Illio.
Hubris Month is recommended by both the White House and the Office of the Speaker of the House.
Humility is a trigger word. It’s used as a dog-whistle for right-wingers to beat up on people, doncha know?
In the secular world, pride is now called narcissism.
To us, have a month dedicated to Pride is like having a month dedicated to Narcissism.
That might be a way to explain to the younger nones.
sexual deviants have appropriated God’s symbol of promise
Call their behavior what it is:
MORALPHOBIA
