Famously gay conservative Milo Yannopoulos sat down with Michael Voris on June 29 for almost an hour. Only now he’s ex-gay. You can watch here on the Church Militant site.
The 49 minutes was full of noteworthy statements.
1. One was that Milo implied that Voris had something to do with Milo leaving the gay life. Milo mentioned that he had appeared on the Patrick Coffin show, but that somehow Voris had pushed him into full conversion to the Catholic faith. At the end of the Church Militant show, Milo asked for prayers that he would keep his chastity.
2. “I’m amazed that anyone is heterosexual in America. I mean, this is the gayest country in the world. Not just that there are well-meaning left women in Parliament… This is aggressive, strategic, relentless, homosexuality and you’re forced to press your nose up to the glass 24-7 in this country.”
3. “It’s about fatherhood, having present male role models to whom you aspire and with whom you have a respectful relationship, somebody who teaches you how to go from a boy to a man.”
Be open to the possibility that we are witnessing a modern day St. Augustine conversion on the road to sainthood. Milo has confessed, and been publicly repentant, so in charity, pray for him as he cleans up his life and encourages others to as well.
Maybe he’ll enter the semenary.
He is not supposed to.
Not interested in hearing or seeinig ether.
Bravo to Mr. Yiannopoulos! Keep going!
And kudos to Mr. Voris! Iron sharpens iron!
Father James Martin is getting on board with CRT.
Father Bryan Massingale has gotten Pax Christi award.
Don’t just pray for chastity. Pray for purity and persevere in it because it is a grace that is granted after much prayer, according to St. Faustina.
Private alleged revelations don’t count.
Some people want to know how to be better.
Anonymous, some friend ought to send Milo a blessed Miraculous Medal– and a blessed Rosary, too! Right now, he is doing so much better spiritually, than Fr. James Martin, S.J.
OK. I clicked. I lasted less than 2 minutes. If somebody watched it, tell us the minute markers if there are any interesting parts.
You have a stronger stomach than I do.
I only lasted one minute.
Getting past the fright wig on one and the scary bleach job on the other was too much for me.
It was the hair for me too.
Me too. Can’t take a man seriously who styles himself that way. You can judge a book by its cover sometimes.
Frank, I did have to give you a thumbs up because you made me laugh. I saw this interview previously and did watch it all. Got bless and enlighten these two, and I do hope they behave themselves in the future.
You guys who aren’t watching this stunning interview are letting your emotions guide you. This is a stunning conversion testimony where Milo says many brave, orthodox things, including that he wants to spend the rest of his career helping gays with Catholic, reparative therapy, and that he has thousands on his waiting list.
I have a bi-sexual, Catholic friend who is struggling mightily to stay chaste, and he cried watching this interview and shared it on his twitter.
I too felt your distaste at the beginning of the interview because of Milo’s effeminate manner, but stick with it and you’ll soon focus on the amazing content instead. Keep in mind that ex-gay, Joseph Sciambra, the orthodox, Catholic warrior for chastity is effeminate in voice and manner too. Both Milo and Joseph came to the faith well after their personalities were formed.
I am glad that your friend benefitted somewhat from it but it reminds me of an expression “In the land of the blind, a one eyed man is king.” I found a lot of what he was saying to be speculative and not faith based. More cheap psychology. And he himself says that he has a toehold in his new life. A toe hold is not strong enough to life others up.
He still has a husband but according to his interview with LIFESITENEWS:
Well, the guy I live with has been demoted to housemate, which hasn’t been easy for either of us. It helps that I can still just about afford to keep him in Givenchy and a new Porsche every year. Could be worse for him, I guess.
My own life has changed dramatically, though it crept up on me while I wasn’t paying attention. I’m someone who responds to micromanagement and accountability, so I’ve found counting days an effective bulwark against sin. In the last 250 days I’ve only slipped once, which is a lot better than I predicted I would do.
I do not care for either of these famous men– but respect their conversions, and dedication to Christ. Both say they are “ex-gays”– not an easy path to walk. Good that Michael Voris can help Milo Yiannopoulos. Beyond a momentary conversion– it takes a great deal of constant, old-fashioned religious practice, frequent reception of the Sacraments, and daily prayer, religious devotions, penance, and dedication, plus daily rejecting sin– to hopefully succeed in a true transformation in Christ. Milo Yiannopoulos also mentioned that he has been responsible for leading many astray, in his former life. So, perhaps by the grace of God, he can now be a good influence for Jesus Christ. St. Augustine walked a much harder path than many today would venture to try, to leave a life of sin, never to return– and fully embrace the life of grace. He had some good, devout, dedicated Christians– and his dear mother, St. Monica– to help him in his conversion and spiritual transformation. Yiannapoulos has taken the first step– may God help him and his friend, Michael Voris, with all of their spiritual needs. God surely could use these men for the group “Courage,” and to help many millions of “LGBT’s,” everywhere. How about joining a religious group like the Legion of Mary, or a secular religious order for laymen?
After reading his wiki page, he seems like quite an unsavory fellow. Apparently he has a book that Voris published. I pray this conversion is real. When he talks about conversion therapy being a huge untapped market, it makes me question his sincerity.
I pray for him and those who he is trying to help.
“More Catholic than the (a) pope”?
‘Fraid not:
“Be vigilant in act and word, so that the faithful may grow in love for this Holy See, venerate it, and accept it with complete obedience; they should execute whatever the See itself teaches, determines, and decrees.” (Pius XI)
The Church Militant headline was most unfortunate.
Church Militant is schismatic
“The Vortex” is an apt name for Mr. Voris’ show because all he does is stir up dissension and muckrake in the church, which is the opposite of Jesus saying, “Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.” The “news crew” at Church Militant uses sensationalism to whip up traddy Catholics into a frenzy.
