The following comes from a June 13 statement from the San Diego diocese.
Once again our nation has been murderously rent by hatred and violence, rooted in a counterfeit notion of religious faith and magnified by our gun culture. The shootings in Orlando are a wound to our entire society, and this time the LGBT community has been specifically targeted and victimized.
It is all too easy when faced with such wanton slaughter and human suffering to reach for a solution which is itself founded in hatred, prejudice and recrimination.
But our Catholic faith demands that we reject such a pathway and embrace with ever greater strength the solidarity of all people who stand as the one family of the God who is Father of us all.
We pray for the many victims in Orlando who were targeted for death simply because of their sexual orientation, and we grieve with their loving families and friends. This tragedy is a call for us as Catholics to combat ever more vigorously the anti-gay prejudice which exists in our Catholic community and in our country. We pray for the Muslim community in our nation, who have acted in unanimity to deplore this act of violence and to reject hatred rooted in a distortion of Muslim faith. We pray for the first responders whose courage and suffering are a witness to the spirit of sacrifice that ennobles American society. And we commit ourselves to a pathway which seeks true security for our nation not only in efforts to identify those who would do us harm, but far more importantly in building a culture which truly embodies and fortifies the equal dignity of every woman and man.
I am proud to say that I am anti-LGBT: opposed to the ideology which that label represents; not opposed to persons as human beings. Being anti-LGBT is not prejudice: it’s a rational, correct realization that what the LGBT movement stands for is opposed to Catholic faith and contrary to the true good and fulfillment of human beings.
Shame on the bishop of San Diego for claiming that there is anti-gay prejudice in the Catholic Church, with the implication that Catholics must accept what the LGBT movement stands for and accept what self-identifying gays believe about themselves and what’s good for them.
Shame also on the bishop for not realizing that Islam is inherently violent and intolerant.
The bishop needs to be educated about…
The way I see it, Sawyer, is that it’s not right, viewing people as “labels!” People are all human beings, beloved children of God! Jesus taught us all to love God, and to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to patiently forgive one another, “70×7” and more! The Church has the duty to teach people right from wrong, and if anyone sins, they must go to Confession– and afterwards, they must try to lead a good life, and “sin no more.” Our Church must teach everyone moral responsibility, and the WORK ETHIC, and must help and SUPPORT everyone, in relinquishing selfishness, and leading a good life, for the glory of God! The “LGBT’s” need special help, to deal with their hard life!
It is no easy thing, to follow Jesus! If the Catholic Church fails to help her people– then where will they all turn, for the Truth?? So many of our Church leaders are just terrible Catechists! Too bad they couldn’t all be DUMPED, and a new group of true, orthodox, faithful Catholic leaders replace them all!
Well stated Sawyer.
Good for Bishop McElroy!
Good for what, exactly? Bishop McElroy is willfully negligent in his duties, which should be a massive outreach to the LGBTQ people that he says he loves. That outreach would be an urgent plea for them to stop homosexual sexual activities for ever; that what they do is a mortal sin, each and every time, and, because of the perversity of what they do, many hate them and could do them harm. Do they want to have the stain of sodomy on their souls when, like the poor 50 in Orlando, they are called to meet God for Judgment. That is what he should be telling people that he loves: stop what YOU are doing, and confess your sins, and lead a new life.
Good or really NOT so good? Saints have said, upon a glimpse of hell, there were many BISHOPS there. Perhaps it is because, like this poor bishop, he does not tell the truth & by his own confusion, misguides the flock in-trusted to him. I prefer to hear the clear hard truths that are part of the only path Jesus gave us to Eternal salvation VS the soft responses of weak Bishops. It is sad that many are fooled by a bishops human weakness saying what they may prefer to hear. But then, some persons always hear what they prefer even when God’s message is crystal clear due to their human weakness. We choose daily with our will. Sin or God’s way? Pray we all choose wisely with God’s grace upon us.
according to many muslims this and other anti-gay violence was not a hate crime but a faith-in-action exercise. to follow what is perceived to be the will of allah, as revealed in scrpture and hadith, and as is codified in a majority of muslim ‘countries’ national laws is not a matter of hatred but of faith and doctrine. mateen the shooter may have acted in hate personally, we don’t know. but a case could be made that he acted in faith, quranic faith. if this interpretation of the quran is widely held, the battle must be at a doctrinal level as well. step forward, schoalrs and bishops.
riccardo cascioloi in lanuovabq.it points out that instead of asking us to look at islam’s connection to the orlando massacre, ‘an islamist carries out a massacre of gays and christians are the ones accused’. he points to bishop lynch’s response in st petersburgh and notes how it parallels the italian bishops conference, both suggesting that the anti-gay issues over same sex marriage on the ‘right’ somehow set up an atmosphere for violence. but what if islamists simply are reading their quransand hearing imams preach , mostly unaware of secular american news?
Bp. McElroy fails to or perhaps refuses to see that both Islam and the homosexual agenda both reduce man to the level of beasts by the pursuit of carnal pleasures. Islam in that killing infidels will lead to 72 virgins in paradise and the homosexual lobby encourages sexual perversion that only leads to unhappiness and a descent into darkness. Bishop McElroy should proclaim that through Christ and His Church, man is lead into the light and into true joy.
So the Muslim community “has acted in unanimity to deplore this act of violence and deplore hatred”…The bishop is a fool if he truly believes that to be true. First of all, he doesn’t know every Muslim, which he would have to in order to make such an all-encompassing claim; secondly, we know from repeated examples that much of the Muslim community will erupt into paroxysms of joy at mass killings of non-Muslims. The bishop should be stripped of his miter and sent to the Middle East with instructions to evangelize the Muslims. He would quickly learn a few things about that peaceful band of fellow humans. As for his fawning over the homosexuals, they have declared war on Western civilization in recent years as surely as have the…
St. Peter Damian also faced clergy whose eyes were clouded with pride. Would St. Peter Damian have called Bishop McElroy a counterfeit Catholic bishop? Bishop McElroy, is actually endangering homosexuals even more by his blinded refusal to address the danger that faces each and every one of us. The loss of eternal life.
“For the wisdom of the flesh brings eternal death, but that of the spirit brings eternal life and peace, since the wisdom of the flesh is the enemy of God; it is not subject to God’s law, nor can it be. And since the wisdom of the flesh is unable to bear the yoke of God’s law, it cannot look upon it either, for its eyes are clouded with the smoke of pride. – St. Peter Damian
The Roman Catholic Church, over a thousand years ago, declared that blaming inanimate objects for evil is heresy. Guns are inanimate objects. Bishop McElroy blames guns for evil!
But why must people own a gun, John Feeney, in a “civilized” country?? Can’t dial 911, if a crime occurs— and let the cops handle it? Then, if a cop ends up killing a criminal to protect the public– all the people get mad at them! Want to pray, receive the Sacraments (especially Holy Communion!) and have a gun in your closet or under your bed? And what if one of your kids gets their hands on it, for play, and a terrible accident occurs? Why must you own a gun?
What is SO WRONG, in today’s VIOLENT America– that many people crave guns, and their Second Amendment rights to bear arms?? We are no longer living in a wild and lawless country, of cowboys and Indians, nor British soldiers fighting American armies! America is supposed to be a settled and civilized country, not a wild land of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries! So many American Catholics criticize South American Catholic priests and laymen, who fall for Marxism, and carry guns, for self-defense! We are supposed to imitate the saintly Archbishop Romero! Yes– or no?? And what is the best answer– to our violent country, of today??
Did you know St. Gabriel Posssenti used a gun to defend a Italian village from mauraders? That his heroism prevented a young woman from getting raped? Fr. John Zuhlsdorf relates the story on his blog: https://wdtprs.com/blog/2016/02/27-feb-st-gabriel-of-our-lady-of-sorrows-patron-of-handgunners-seminarians-novices/
It is not evil to own or bear firearms. Evil people will use whatever is at their disposal to commit acts of violence. We have the right to defend ourselves from do who wish to do us or innocent people harm.
Linda Maria , you are condoning heresy! If you don’t want to have a gun, don’t buy one. Our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, told the Apostles to trade their cloaks for swords to defend themselves. Fear of firearms is irrational. Just because you fear guns is no reason for making the rest the rest of us unable to defend ourselves against the criminals and crazies who are allowed run loose in modern America.
John Feeney, don’t be ridiculous, I am NOT condoning “heresy!” Jesus Christ refused to defend Himself, when arrested and condemned to death, and He rebuked St. Peter, for drawing his sword! I am also not rebuking YOU, for believing in personal gun ownership! The question is a very complex one! I, myself, am a devout and older Catholic lady, and do not believe in owning a gun– ridiculous! But then– don’t we live in a modern, decent, “civilized” country? You can draw your gun, to defend us, I suppose– after Mass, if we are ever persecuted and shot at!
Many Americans today, make big protests against the police force, accusing them all of racism, when most are just trying to do their hard (and sometimes violent!) jobs effectively, to protect the public! Maybe there are a few racist cops, who should be fired. But if the police could be free to go out and do their hard jobs effectively, and receive praise and support from the public– wouldn’t the world be safer for everyone, with fewer worries over personal gun ownership??
Truly, it is NOT the guns! It’s the guns in the wrong hands. Have you not heard or seen? Please think! The UK bans guns. When an infidel is slaughtered there by a Muslim terrorist they use whatever they have, hatchets, swords, knives, meat cleavers. In the Boston Marathon Muslim terror attack, they used pressure cookers, shrapnel & cell phones. If all the guns in the world were gone, then the OTHER ‘weapons’ would be used & new ones would be made, think 9/11 when they used our PLANES against us. So think before you blame the guns that may have to protect your own family someday. Any weapon in the wrong hands (crazy people) kills.
Continued….Not wanting to offend, but consider the ‘gun’ in the wrong hands becomes an instrument of death VS protection. To a Jihad, almost anything is a weapon! Remember the slew of Jihad John beheadings? The news is full of sad stories about Jihad deaths by: crucifixions, drownings, burning alive, tossed from the top of buildings, car bombs, personal bombs,… It’s the unholy evil hatred of infidels (everybody else) that does the killing by an act of their will. The Jihads use ANY means to kill, guns are just one of many, many instruments available.
Continued…..Don’t be fooled. Since that awful attack in Orlando, about 100 Syrian muslims PER DAY have been approved by this administration for ‘FAST’ entry into the USA. The process of entry usually takes up to 2 years for vetting. POTUS said he wanted 10,000 but the news reported a million are here already. AND they are receiving benefits that could be used for our own Americans. Benefits like: medicare, food stamps, housing $$, welfare. They get MORE than our vets! Proof the POTUS cares MORE about importing muslims VS helping any of us Americans. Troubling & SAD!
Linda Maria – I own several guns, largely because my brothers taught me target and trap shooting. It’s kind of a family tradition. They are locked up in a safe and NOT reddily availible if a burglar breaks into my apartment. Why? Because I have more than a dozen nieces and nephews who come over with ther friends sometimes. As you point out, that’s a bigger danger than the burglar. The company which made the AR-15 used at Sandy Hook advertised it with the line “Get Your Man Card Re-Issued.” Any guy that needs a gun to validate his manhood shouldn’t have one.
I agree, C&H!! You are smart to lock up your guns, so that your little nieces and nephews do not accidentally get into them, and have a tragic accident! And YES– manhood has nothing to do with a gun! Very good point! I had a relative (now deceased) who at the turn of the 20th century, was about 8 years old, and one day, some neighborhood kids got into their daddy’s guns, and started to play with them, not knowing that they were loaded! One little boy was shot accidentally, and killed– and the other little boys were severely haunted, emotionally, for the rest of their lives!
This is not about gun ownership. Society needs to “watch the watchers” who always wish to remove individual liberties in favor of Statism.
As to the Bishop, he is a fool. He needs to counsel homosexuals, and to warn them to avoid any — any — sexual activity, notwithstanding however they are motivated. This approach is out of love, not prejudice. Homosexuals actually hate what the Bible says about their perversion, but the Bible is true.
Thank you, St Christopher, for speaking for all homosexuals. I wonder why you think you are qualified to speak for homosexuals, but that is a question for another day.
This particular homosexual doesn’t actually hate what the Bible says about us. First of all, it does little to address us particularly, especially in the Gospels, but second, what it says is that I am a child of God, loved unconditionally, and that He loved me so much that he took on human flesh, suffered, died, and rose again—for me. For me – a homosexual.
I think the Bishop ought to get out the Baltimore Catechism. He mistakes revulsion at the family destroying sensual lifestyle, which is a choice not something one is born with, which lifestyle has cost the Church billions in reparations to victims of abuse done within the churches themselves, destroyed many young lives. Sodomy is a sin that calls to Heaven, a sin that led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, a sin that is destroying Western Civilization, is against the family and the 6th and 9th Commandments, is condemned by Holy Scripture.
On Father’s Day this Sunday pray for the decadent society which introduced so-called same sex marriage and glorification of homosexuals into our society during this coming week. Ask the Sacred Heart for mercy upon the sinners who delight in perversity and sin that the same fate as befell Sodom and Gomorrah not punish our beloved country. If there are only a few just men, God will spare us as He did Lot and his family. Pray that St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Foster Father of Jesus, our Divine Savior, keep our own family uncontaminated by the perverse society. Be a real man at home, a model or kindness, holiness and leadership, for your own family and as an example in our corrupt…
Er John …… The “Glorification” of us isn’t total. Yesterday a straight woman I know was spat upon and called a dyke while volunteering at the Frameline gay film festival. I thank God that I’ve never been on the receiving end of really bad homophobic hate and I pray for those killed and injured and their loved ones in Orlando. Everyone please pray for family solidarity and peace on Father’s day tomorrow. I thank God my Father and brothers came through Vietnam, Afganistaan and Iraq safely.
Labels like homophobic will come back and haunt those who forever cried wolf about the wrong enemy. The devil is an equal opportunity destroyer. The real enemy is sin. C&H often promotes herself as contemplating sinful relationships. It is a warning sign of the times that homosexualizing activists show solidarity, when also, blaming the cruel massacre, in Orlando on Christ’s True Church. Feigning, gratitude and loyalty, Judas also thanked and kissed Jesus, while sinfully betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
Better said “contemplating whether a relationship would be sinful.”
I recently saw an old 1978 made-for-TV movie, “A Question of Love,” based on a true story. It is available also on YouTube. In this movie, a divorced couple have joint custody of their two boys, who mainly live with their mom. The dad re-marries, and the mom, a lesbian– invites her lover to move in. The older boy, aged 16, is horrified, and moves in permanently with his dad. He advises his dad to get permanent custody of his 9-year-old little brother. The dad’s court case is a success. The movie’s main characters have religious beliefs, and are church-goers. Not perfect people, but they know right from wrong. I will continue…
I will continue. Not so long ago, Americans had some understanding of right and wrong– and society, the churches, and the courts, understood morality well, although no one was perfect, and many people did terribly wrong things! However, overall– the concepts of marriage and family, and adult moral responsibility, were once well-understood, by Americans! When you are an adult, you cannot just do anything, to please yourself! And no– the word “love,” is not enough, nor emotions of motherly love– to raise a child on! A mother has an adult responsibility, which she should face, and deal with– and sacrifice her selfishness, for her child’s well-being!! Today’s America has forgotten this!
I think many of our religious and civic leaders, including many in our Church— do not clearly understand adult moral responsibility, and respect for God! As you grow up, you must learn to set aside the things of childhood, and become mature and responsible! You must learn to please God, and to not be a baby, a hedonist! In the past, most people past their elementary school years, would be deeply ashamed, to act like babies, like self-centered hedonists, only thinking of themselves, and of their babyish wants, needs, and desires! Youngsters used to be PROUD to GROW UP!! Today’s America is so sad!
If our Pope and bishops would deeply inculcate the Catholic Faith and Morals in our Catholic people, from babyhood, our country (and other countries, too!) would be much stronger, people would have stronger moral consciences, and would be more mature, in their religious faith, and daily life! Families would be stronger, and we would have a better world! We would have more virtuous people, and less crime in the world! God’s Presence would also seem stronger, and people would have a greater sense of His Love, and well-being! When Evil is strong in the world, and the world seems dark– then, God seems far away, and people despair and panic– regardless of whether or not they are religious!
I am horrified at the Pope’s recent remarks, that many Catholic marriages may be null and worthless, Sacramentally– while there may be many cohabitations that are truly Sacramental in character, due to the couple’s fidelity to one another. Baloney, Pope Francis! I still love and pray for Pope Francis– but he can be so HORRIFYING at times!!
By the same principle Francis calls into question his own priesthood for he demonstrates a clear lack of understanding what the priesthood is. And the papacy.
And if we are also to believe now that clear teaching is heresy, then the Pope has consigned all to invincible ignorance for he has apparently gagged those tasked with speaking the truth from doing their job.
Lovely Catch-22. Especially for the myriad souls who have a misunderstanding of not only papal authority but what the Catholic Church actually teaches.
Well stated Linda Marie.
This is an example of Rahm Emmanuel’s “never let a crisis go to waste”. A tragedy comes about and the reasons for it are twisted by those with the bully pulpit to promote their agenda. Anti gay and gun culture are straw man argument, wherein falsehoods are set up to be knocked down, all the while avoiding the truth of the situation: the teachings of Islam instruct the faithful to establish this religion by conversion or force. The Catholic church is compassionate for those with same sex attraction, showing them the truth of their identity as men and women called to chastity. Calling people by names or grouping them into “communities” like LGBT holds them in Satan’s power. Jesus is our freedom. I never would want a person to die…
So if there were a shooter who targeted people with blond hair, would you get on the horn and say, well we shouldn’t call people blond because that would be calling them names and that would hold them in Satan’s power, or would you say – “wow, it’s a horrible thing that people with blond hair are subject to ridicule and discrimination to the point of being targeted for mass murder”. It’s not a straw man to say that weapons of war were in the hands of someone who shouldn’t have had them, or that people were targeted for death who shouldn’t have been. If you REALLY were as compassionate as you say the Church is, you would stand with the victims and their families and offer a word of consolation, instead of adding to their ridicule.
There is no “compassion” as such in Islam. Read the Q’uran: it is very clear.
“‘Do you commit such immorality as Lot as no one has preceded you from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women.’…And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.” (Qur’an 7:80-84)
Read the Haddiths of Muhammad: even more so:
“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Lot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
If you want to know the truth, Muslim scholars @ Islamonline openly delineate the “compassion” of Muhammad and the Q’uran:
“[Muslim scholar]‘Abdel Khaliq Hasan Ash-Sharif states, “Some scholars hold the opinion that the homosexual should be thrown from a high building as a punishment for his crime, but other scholars maintain that he should be imprisoned until death….However, if the man survives death fall, the judge has the right to sentence him to death.”
If you want to know the truth, that is the “compassionate view” of Islam.
Thank you, Justin, for the clarity. Not a matter of blonde hair here.
In Christianity, we are taught by Jesus Christ, to “see Christ in everyone,” and “whatsoever you do to the least of My brothers, that you do unto Me.” So, does the regular (not the extremists!) Muslim religion teach something similar, to see God in everyone, as we are all made in God’s Divine Image, and are all His beloved children? And what do normal (not extremists!) Muslims think of the Judeo-Christian Biblical Ten Commandments– to include the Fifth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill??”
Hello! The topic is Catholic compassion, not Muslim compassion!
You mean, blonde hair, right?
It is compassionate to commiserate with others in suffering, YFC. But pretending that one must correlate those who identify chiefly by their sexual preference – in this case, with regard to Catholics, a preference that is objectively ordered against God’s design – with having blonde hair is silly.
Catholics aren’t the ones killing sodomites, Muslims are. Catholics are trying to convert sodomites and save their souls and when any Catholic bypasses the truth and is watering down the truth, they themselves will be judged. YFC, those killed in Orlando “God save their soul”, but God also was about to judge them moments after there death, hmmmmmmm.
Well said, Father Perozich. It would be similar to having a group that marched under the banner of sex addict pride or adulterer or thieves pride. It only affirms that which does not define the person as if that portion of them defines the whole.
It does not.
And, YFC, there is need to console the families. But there is also a need, at the same time, to continue to uphold the Truth. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Bravo, Father Perozich! Well and clearly spoken, as always. God bless you for being a true shepherd who wants souls to be saved, and who truly sees the lies we are being subjected to in today’s society.
Jesus is our freedom. I never would want a person to die in the state of sin. I wish all to live and convert to Jesus, not by force but by choice.
Unfortunately, many shepherds do not feel or at least operate under that same principle. For by distracting from the truth, they affirm sinners in their sin depriving them of true choice by pretending that human beings have no free will.
Sad.
While we must love the sinner, but hate the sin, today all are being forced to accept as normal, virtuous and honorable the immoral and sinful acts which sodomites take pride in committing. Satan had a field day last week when 50 souls were lost to him. We have so much to pray for that none of us could ever get bored praying for God’s mercy.

Resident Harpy Censorship Pogrom now in effect
As some know there are Two methods to post to this website, this Comments page as well as a Semi-Linked Facebook comments section as well.
However – it appears that the Resident Harpy Trolls (Paid and volunteer) who regularly trash and harass this site, have taken the next step in Censorship, and now have posts on the upper ‘face-bunk’ comments pulled almost immediately.
When not trying to disrupt the board in to irrelevant flame wars, they now resort to Censorship where possible (a common Alinskyite tactic) – so as to keep politically Un-Good Information from reaching… Anybody, & particularly Catholics Targeted by said Trolls.
Michael …. We have a new widow at our parish who needs part time employment. Who does she contact to become a paid Harpy Troll?
I don’t know who has the least well-trained conscience, this Bishop or the Muslim Brotherhood of executioners? I would put forth that those who wantonly kill innocent people have no sense of a developed conscience. No sense of moral order or ethical treatment of others.
We can recognize the lack of development of a sense of responsibility in a 3 year old, as example, who hits his baby brother over the head,but we discipline that 3 year with loving firmness according to the degree of destructiveness of that child’s behavior. No less should occur when an adult takes human life i ndiscriminantly claiming that it is his god that made him do it.
Or, worse, the killers have a fully developed malevolent conscience… Like the SS under Nazism or the Red Guard under Mao. There is no doubting they choose to do exactly what they do.
It’s Marching Season Again – Did the Bishop (or any other) have any comments about the Annual tax subsidized Anti-Male Hate Riot in Frisco, or is that kind of Hate Taboo to Talk About in the ‘tolerance’ pogrom?

A few simple rules are expected to attract more than 50,000 participants to today’s 12th annual Dyke March through San Francisco: no corporate sponsors, no politicians, no permit to march and no men. Dyke- friendly guys are invited to cheer from the sidewalk as marchers wind along a…
Michael… When the all men Knights of Columbus march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, with no women allowed, how is that different from the all woman dyke march?
C&H, I think the Dyke March is about a SICK hatred of men, don’t you?? I much prefer nice, gentle, mature, law-abiding “LGBT” women, who lead good, chaste lives, are very good and responsible American citizens, and always seek to do a good job, like everyone else, in their line of work. I have heard many good people with the “LGBT” affliction simply and emphatically state, that they always leave San Francisco, when the Gay Pride Parade occurs, because they don’t believe in it, and all the wildness, lawlessness, and immorality that it brings. They want no association with wild, lawless, immoral, immature, liberal leftist fools!
Linda Maria – Last time I was at the SF Dyke march was in ’95. I was with a straight friend and we met a very nice couple, an accountant and a cop to walk with. Most of us were giddy about Roberta Actenberg running for mayor. No one made disparaging remarks about men in general. One woman did bad mouth Frank Jordan as boring, and even though I was pro-Roberta I defended him because I like cops. Pride SF is mostly less wild than a decade ago and mostly family friendly. There is a lovely man who walks around with a sign saying
Jesues Christ Loves You.” People shake his hand.
C&H, what do you think of the horrible “Master/Slave” sex relationships, with the crazy, perverted beatings, with long whips? They even show this on the TV newscasts, during the yearly Gay Pride Parade! I think the cops should arrest these people, and make this a felony, with many years behind bars, for the criminals who perpetrate such evils! There are even group meetings in San Francisco, at local churches, too– for young people to get inducted into such HORRORS!! Very, very evil, and very, very dangerous!
Linda Maria … S&M stuff is NOT the exclusive provence of LGBT people. In a conversation with two very respectable middle aged hetrosexual married women, I was shocked that they were reading ad enjoying “Fifty Shades of Gray” If you go to most pride events they are a little risque and the stuff you mentioned is usually behind a curtin etc. At the last SF one I went to there were a lot of families, charity booths. I counted ten topless ladies (out of about 10,000 people. A two year old in his mother’s arms pointed to one of them and yelled “NURSE” S&M stuff at Churches? Maybe the Church of Satin, but I doubt at any other ones
LM…PS..As to your question, I believe sexual relationships should be sweet, tender and loving. No place for whips, psychological power trips etc.
C&H, I think “Sado-Masochism,” and all sex perversions, should be ILLEGAL! They are not something to celebrate! God help us! Also it is so tragic, that many churches, including our own, advertise youth “Sado-Masochism” groups, as a form of “spirituality,” and try to get kids inducted into these evil groups! San Francisco is a SICK town! I know of good, respectable, DECENT gay people, who think the “Gay Pride Parade” is immature, immoral, and SICK!! They also worry, about how many young kids will get infected with AIDS, and later DIE– due to each of the yearly Gay Pride Parades!
I think it would be a good idea, to end the Gay Pride Parades– and instead, have a formal historical tribute, to show the outstanding achievements of people who happen to be gay. It should be tasteful, with good dress, and maybe talks could be held, for gay youth, to help them understand and respectably deal with their issues– and be inspired to lead good moral lives, of much personal accomplishment, no matter what “LGBT” issue they suffer from.
LM, The more I read about this topic, the more I pray. In a recently approved apparition (Argentina), the Blessed Mother said, ‘pride’ would come before the fall (of the world)…..and that ‘pride’ was satan’s greatest weapon. Aren’t most of these functions called gay ‘pride’ parades? When the Blessed Mother warned about sexual sin @ Fatima long ago, ‘more souls are lost to sins of the flesh than any other sin’ (paraphrasing), gay ‘pride’ didn’t exist. The world has ignored Her and Her warnings @ our own peril. The more I read, the more I pray for deliverance from the destroyer.
LM – The “Dyke March” Refuses to even Apply for a Permit (unlike other events in Frisco) or Pay Any Costs.
The city doesn’t placard or warn the public – so the Gridlock created by the takeover puts pedestrians and traffic in opposing motion – and Traffic Laws are Broken Deliberately.
The Mess left behind is huge, and the Dykes refuse to pay for clean up after their party – although they take over streets and Ban Males (as best the can create a “Dyke Only Space”).
Male Taxpayers pay for the Dyke March to Ban them during the takeover – which is one reason why it is Heavily Censored save that one story link.

Pure Cane Sugar, perhaps you are unaware that Elliot Milco at First Things has thoroughly critiqued Fr. Martin’s one-sided Facebook post:
https://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2016/06/a-response-to-fr-james-martin-on-the-orlando-massacre
I have considered Fr. Martin’s video and rejected it, for your information. Fr. Martin is not a reliable guide to thinking with the Church. The man gives every indication that in matters LGBT he rejects Catholic doctrine.
How sad that some bishops, including McElroy, want to be cool with a Jesuit like Fr. Martin, thinking that Fr. Martin offers wise words instead of misdirection.
“Fr. Martin is not a reliable guide to thinking with the Church. The man gives every indication that in matters LGBT he rejects Catholic doctrine.Fr. Martin is not a reliable guide to thinking with the Church. The man gives every indication that in matters LGBT he rejects Catholic doctrine.”
Thank you, Sawyer, for your post and thank you, for telling the truth!
To whom it may concern PLEASE consider, Be careful of your source for true Catholic doctrine. Your soul’s eternity could depend on it! My PC is limited so I can’t view the Fr Martin post. But from comments, I gather this is another poor misguided priest selling ‘his’ version of C. doctrine on this matter. Isn’t it wiser to use a more reliable guide if you are trying to do the right thing in God’s eyes & save your dear soul? Really, except for the ‘perpetually confused’, don’t we all KNOW God’s natural law? May God in His mercy deliver us from destroyers within the C. church. They may sound well meaning but I would not trust my immortal soul to them. Be not confused…..God’s law rules the universe.
http://FTP….You are making a lot of assumptions I posted the vidio and there is nothing in it that is against catholic doctrine. If not Fr Martin, who IS a source of true Catholic doctrine. Michael Vorris?
C&H, Who is Michael Vorris? Ok…I’ve said, can’t see the video. So what? I know what the C. church teaches about that subject. It’s a mortal sin, love the sinner, hate the sin. Right? You are free to get your Catholic ‘doctrine’ off of someones facebook page if you think that is a good way to save your soul. To me that’s a risk. You saying, ‘there is nothing in it (video) that is against catholic doctrine’ does not make that TRUE unless you are an expert on doctrine. Have you ever read tried & true resources, the Catholic Catechism, or a classic ‘Guide to Conscience’ based on the 10 commands of God? Good resources on C.C. doctrine. Helpful? Or am I missing something?
C&H, I answered my own ? on Michael Voris & looked him up. Among his long bio of sorts, I noticed one of the most interesting things WIKI reports is: Michael is a repentant gay/bi man who now abhors the sin. He has made a personal vow of chastity (thru the Blessed Virgin Mary) upon returning to the C. Church. If WIKI is accurate, he seems to be on track to save his soul thru God’s grace. Praise God. Inspiring. Thanks for the reference.
Pray for the victims of the cruel massacre in Orlando and continue to pray for the hurting victims of the horrific sex abuse scandals. Pray for the conversion of those shepherds who still continue to suppress the fullness of truth. They are leading many souls away from God.
Written by a faithful Catholic priest. – A FEW BLUNT WORDS TO CATHOLICS

C, Thanks, the ‘Blunt Words’ are faithful to God’s law which rules the universe. Nice post.
If the Bishop wants to combat anti-gay sentiments, why is the USCCB’s Catholic Charities taking money from the Government to settle Muslim refugees ?
From the US State Dept web site regarding most Muslim countries:
” LGBT RIGHTS: Same-sex sexual relations, even when they are consensual, are criminalized in Saudi Arabia.
Violations of Saudi laws governing perceived expressions of, or support for, homosexuality, including on social media, may be subject to severe punishment. Potential penalties include fines, jail time, or death.”https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/saudi-arabia.html
Where do we belong? An ex-gay Catholic reflects on the Orlando massacre
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/where-do-we-belong-an-ex-gay-catholic-view-of-the-orlando-massacre
– Unfortunately, some in the Church, like the Bishop from Florida, continue to make the same mistakes of the past, by constantly referring to us as gay, lesbian, transgender and LGBT; we are none of those things.
We were not born “gay,” and we were not born damaged; we may have been hurt along the way, but, like the rest of humanity, we can recover and heal. We do not belong to an identity, we do not belong to a movement, and we do belong to a group.
So don’t talk to us as if we do. We belong to God.
When will the Catholic Church welcome these men? But,…
Where do we belong? An ex-gay Catholic reflects on the Orlando massacre
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/where-do-we-belong-an-ex-gay-catholic-view-of-the-orlando-massacre
Unfortunately, some in the Church, like the Bishop from Florida, continue to make the same mistakes…
When will the Catholic Church welcome these men? But, not with false platitudes about being born “gay.” We must be welcomed into the Church – with Truth, and with Love.
Forty-nine precious lives were lost in one night, but since the HIV epidemic began, an estimated 311,087 “gay” men with an AIDS diagnosis have died, including an estimated 5,380 in 2012.
Here we go again, changing the narrative from ISLAM that kills gays, tosses them from the rooftops of buildings in Raqqa the capital of ISIS in Syria, and blaming guns and homophobia. Look, these 49 people who were butchered in Orlando were AMERICANS! weather you agree with their lifestyle or not, as the Dutch politician Geert Wilders states: ISLAM IS ISLAM there is no radical or moderate Muslim and enough of the statements put out by the LEFT and others that ISLAM has been hijacked!
You go right ahead Bishop and hug and pray for the Muslims who would KILL you and I in a heartbeat, Obama has brought in 1,000,000 MUSLIMS into the U.S. while Arab Christians are left to die in the Middle East, this man in the White House fooled millions of Americans for almost 8 years, and now we will pay for this evil for years to come.
Everything the LEFT stands for abortion, feminism, gay rights, environmentalism, rap music, rock, music, porn, all of this is contrary to ISLAM and yet they cannot see what is in-store for them. I believe the gay community has woken up from its slumber of submission and off the Democrat plantation, the MSM has tried in vain to erase any mention of Jihad or ISLAM from the Orlando massacre as they tried in San Bernadino, Paris, Brussels, may question is WHY does the LEFT who would be killed under SHARIA LAW love ISLAM??
Actually, the gay community has awoken from its slumber over GUNS. We will take on the gun lobby, which is all too happy to provide weapons to terrorists, the same way we took on homophobic pastors and hypocritical politicians.
Radical Islamic Terrorists used pressure cookers at the Boston Marathon.
Radical Islamic Terrorists used bombs, knives, and other objects.
Radical Islamic Terrorists and criminals do not obey laws (including gun laws).
If Radical Islamic Terrorists and criminals obeyed the laws, they would not be terrorists or criminals.
Paris/ Europe has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the world and all the laws have not stopped the terrorists.
I suggest you take on the Muslim Faith as well, and Obama’s importing more Muslims for future attacks.

Your Fellow phony Catholic, too bad for your idea to go after guns that the 2nd Amendment is in the Constitution, unlike the legal and moral fraud of a “constitutional right” to same-sex marriage, which was invented by five justices who committed jurisprudential malfeasance in their opinions.
The hypocrites are LGBTs and their judicial advocates, who claim to uphold the rule of law yet contort it and misapply it and misuse it as a weapon of persecution against their opponents to suit their disordered inclinations and aims.
YFC, After the gun lobby, consider the Jihadist world view: they are coming for ALL infidels (ALL non-muslims), unless you convert to Islam. They attack using: knives, pressure cookers, hatchets, meat cleavers, guns, explosives, cell phone detonators, planes into buildings, car bombs, sword beheadings, drowning, fire, tall buildings, crucifixion, WHATEVER. Not knowing WHAT the crazy J’s are planning or WHERE or WHEN is a problem for all of us. They evade the best efforts of the FBI with sharp, secret plans. So avoiding future attacks is & will continue to be a MAJOR problem, with or without guns. Continued……
Continued…..Especially since some of them clever, crazy J’s now live AMONGST US, as the 2nd generation! Thanks to pretty wide open immigration policies by our POTUS, the 1st gen. is already happily(?) here & the 2nd gen. rejects or disrespects that choice/life style & goes crazy Jihad. Sad. The FBI is overwhelmed (by a ever increasing # of cases), is understaffed & ‘hamstrung’ by PC issues (redacting/scrubbing like Orlando). MORE, FASTER, immigration from muslim countries IS NOT going to be HELPFUL. Please make it stop for now. With time, we can work on a ‘fix’ but first let’s help ourselves. Basically we (infidels) are all sitting ducks, as I just tried to explain. God Help us all.
Linda Maria, the Manichean Heresy was a major dualistic religion founded by Mani in 210-276 AD. It stated that good and evil are equally powerful and that material things are evil. It was condemned by Emperor Theodosius I decree in 382. Don’t believe me? Look it up. Again, guns are inanimate objects and are therefore incapable of doing anything.. Please rescind your “ridiculous” statement. In advance, thank you. May God bless you.
John Feeney– nobody cares about the third century Manichean heresy! What I was trying to say, is that it is so sad, in a civilized, decent country– to see Americans feel the need to run out to buy guns for self-defense, because in reality, our country is rough-neck, uncivilized and violent! How low can you go?? And we used to be a decent, law-abiding, God-respecting, Christian nation! Are we now as bad as a rough-neck, uncivilized, violent, non-Christian country, in the Middle East, or elsewhere? I grew up in a nice, rural mountain town, with a ZERO crime rate, where no one had a lock on their doors! The police didn’t have much to do! LOVE to return there to live, someday!
Christ refused to defend Himself, when arrested and sentenced to death. Very sad! He only prayed, beforehand, “Father, not My will, but Thine be done.” He also commanded St. Peter to put away his sword, and not to defend Him! Well– what can I say?? During WWII, we had one relative that was very religious, and was a Conscientious Objector, while others went to war. Very controversial! I see that both sides have a point. The Church, and our country, believe in self-defense, as the only reason to kill, if we must. It is just sad to see Americans running to buy guns! Especially, Catholic church-goers! Well– what would Jesus do??
John Feeney, I know for a fact, that a good, traditional Catholic priest, of many years ago, would tell you, that yes, you have a right to own a gun, to protect yourself and your family, if need be. You would always want to protect yourself, and your family, yes! Especially also, your mom, your grandma, your wife, and your children! Yes, if a robber attacked your mom suddenly, at home, you would run and get a weapon, and kill the robber, if you had to, and save your mom’s life! You would do all that you could possibly do, to protect your mom! That is a basic thing, in life! But NO– I still do not like guns and weapons!
Linda Maria, we can follow the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church or the teachings of Hillary Clinton and Obama. You say nobody cares about third century Manichean Heresy. What other Heresies do you condone?
John Feeney, nobody cares about Hillary or Obama, when it comes to the gun issue. Hilary and Obama come from the selfish “Death Culture!” They believe in selfishness and violence! They believe in killing unborn children! Nobody cares about heresies, either– they are so dumb! All I care about, is what Christ taught, and trying to practice it! I think America needs a return to our Judeo-Christian foundations, weekly church attendance, belief in God, and reading the Bible, and following what it says! Without that, we will continue to be in the Devil’s hands, and there will be massive destructions!
The Bishop said: “We pray for the Muslim community in our nation, who have acted in unanimity to deplore this act of violence and to reject hatred rooted in a distortion of Muslim faith.”
Really??? Anyone else hear of this unanimous condemnation by the Muslim community? Me either.
This, and many other deploable actions by high ranking ‘church officials’ is why good people are leaving the church in droves. They aren’t leaving the faith – but the faith is leaving them.
At some point we need to all calm down and pray for 49-50+ human beings that were shot at a night club by a deranged man. At some point we need to all stop putting labels on people. HUMAN BEINGS were killed. We should pray for them, pray that it doesn’t happen again to other human beings. The hate for gays demonstrated by a few on this site, and the hate for Muslims demonstrated by a few on this site is very unchristian.
Bob One, you are right: except, the 50 (or so) and others wounded that were assaulted “at a night club” were assaulted by (say this slowly, over and over, so you understand it), a “rad-I-cal mus-lim ter-ror-ist”.
Their “Holy Book” teaches them to “strike fear into the heart of the infidel”, Bob One (Surah 8:12, Q’uran).
Read the Book, Bob One, as I have, and find out the truth of the “Q’uran”.
And Justin, the hundreds of massacres in Chicago every month or so are committed by C-h-r-i-s-t-i-a-n-s? No, they are committed by crazy street gangs and others, but we don’t put a religious label on them. The radical muslim terrorist you refer to are a very small portion of the millions of Muslims in our country who have been living peacefully for hundreds of years.
The motive of the Orlando killer, Bob One, wasn’t the Chicago cartel, but the LGBT nightclub was attacked (say it slowly so you get it, Bob, you aren’t understanding it), was that he was (take a breath) a rad-i-cal mus-lim ter-ror-ist. Motive precedes means and drives opportunity. (And you must be the one who is afraid all Muslims are terrorists, which I didn’t state and don’t believe either..it is the “rad-i-cal mus-lim ter-ror-ists” (say it slowly ) that are the problem.
Wrong!
Actually, Bob One, your fascinating moral equivalency of murders in Chicago being motivated (somehow, in Bob One World) by Christian doctrine, you somehow compare to Orlando, Boston Marathon, San Bernardino, Ft. Bliss, etc. which were definitively motivated by (say it slowly, and absorb it, Bob), “rad-i-cal mus-lim ter-ror-ism”?
Where are those “moderate” MUSLIMS?? They don’t exist folks, wake up and stop being sheeple. Either way they here and Obama for some sick or nefarious reason imported over 1,000,000 in just 7 1/2 years. And not one Republican tried to stop him starting with that fake Paul Ryan.
J, Paul Ryan is a turn coat! Speaking of moderate Muslims.. pity the people of Twin Falls Idaho after reading this story from InfoWars.com REPORT: THREE SYRIAN “REFUGEES” RAPE LITTLE GIRL AT KNIFEPOINT IN IDAHO Furious residents accuse council of cover-up BY: Paul Joseph Watson – JUNE 20, 2016 It has also been reported, many refugees are being placed in rural America by POTUS funded by P. Ryan efforts. Is it so they have less trouble & resistance taking over? AND after the Orlando attack, 100 Syrian refugees a day have been ‘fast tracked’ for acceptance in the USA. (Used to take up to 2 years for vetting.) Coming to (destroy) a small town near, all of us. Dittos on the WAKE UP AMERICA comment.
Janek, you are incorrect. There are a few thousand immigrants that have been admitted out of the 67 million in the worlds. It is a far cry from the 1, 000,000 you stated. POTUS isn’t putting the Syrian refugees in rural areas to make it easier to take over the country. In fact, contrary to what you state, the majority in the house is trying to reduce the number of refugees, not increase it. The two year vetting process is still in effect. Please stop lying to us or just repeating what you hear on talk radio. Even CNS contradicts what you state.
Bob One, I typed in: 100 Syrians per Day and this is a header from Brietbart but there were other sites with that title too.
‘Obama Administration Surge Agenda Threatening U.S. With 100 Syrian Refugees Per Day’ What is your source regarding reductions in refugees? I can only wish that were true until this is all sorted out, but I think that is wishful thinking.
Bob One, continued……per the same Brietbart article RE: 100/day!….
Over 100 Syrian refugees have been admitted every day in June according to (NOTE) the federal government’s own database from the Refugee Processing Center. More than 1,000 were admitted in May. The rate of those admitted has sky-rocketed when compared to the 3,755 accepted in fiscal year 2016.
Bob One, continued…..RE: 1M Immigration From WashingtonExaminer Report: 4,948,000 illegals eligible for amnesty, 716,000 in battleground states
By PAUL BEDARD (@SECRETSBEDARD) • 6/21/16 1:03 PM
Can’t find the smaller 1M over 7 1/2 years report….yet. But the 4.9 M doesn’t seem like any type of a reduction does it? And that is a current report!
Pride comes before the fall. When someone has a disability or an abnormality, one must accept that BUT to rejoice in it, and think that it is perfect, and normal is wrong. We all have weaknesses, but to rejoice in them, and to willfully engage in sinful acts does not make the act virtuous or something that will merit us Heaven. We are supposed to avoid the near occasions of sin, and to try and emend our lives. If we don’t than we are slaves of Satan, and he will devour us,
Herman … I have an abnormality..I’m left handed. God made me that way. My dad is left handed too. The sisters tried to make him write with his right hand but he couldn’t do. Later, the teaching profession realized there was no reason to convert us “lefties” to be “righties” I have another abnormality, I’m a lesbian. God made me that way. There is no reason to try to change me.
To be left-handed, is like having brown eyes, or green eyes, or blue eyes. It is not an abnormality. But the “LGBT” condition is a very serious thing which brings great pain and suffering, to many people! However, God does not see any one of us, according to our illnesses, afflictions, abnormalities, handicaps, etc. He just sees our souls as His beloved children! Our earthly afflictions are temporary– and painful crosses to bear! But following Christ, if we finally get to Heaven, someday– all will be well! No sickness, pain, sorrow, loss, disability, handicap, deformity, NOTHING! Only God’s Eternal Love, for all His children!
It is all true, that Christ died for us all, including homosexuals– and would die on His Holy Cross, for any one of us, too, as individuals! He loves us all, no matter what afflictions or problems or sins we may have! He was crucified between two thieves, one of whom came to believe in Him– and He told that criminal, that he would be with Him, in His Kingdom, that very day! Christ’s Divine Love for us, is miraculous, and unbelievably wonderful!!
C&H, I don’t see a big difference in the cross of same sex attraction & all the other crosses of chaste lives/roles God asks of His people. All our lives have challenges living according to God’s commands. You state “There is no reason to try to change me”. Who is trying to change you? God’s grace works on our souls when we stop rebelling, repent & co-operate with God’s mercy. People can assist but only God changes us. Did you know, many of the Saints, when on earth, never seemed to think they had reached perfection (being like Jesus) or that they had no more work to do to get into Heaven? Just praying and saying….
Ha, ha, ha!
Pure Cane Sugar, you actually think left-handedness is comparable to the sexual disorder of homosexuality!
Ha again!
First: there is no intrinsic finality about hands that makes using the right hand preferable to the left. Therefore being “left-handed” is not a disorder.
Second: there is an intrinsic finality about human sexuality that orders males and females toward their opposites. Therefore being attracted to the same sex is a disorder.
You are correct that you have an abnormality.
You lack evidence to claim God made you that way.
There are ample reasons in natural law, morality, revelation and Catholic doctrine for you to avoid acting on your disordered inclinations, and very good reasons to try to…
The hurting families of the victims in Orlando feel betrayed. Obama ordered the DOJ to delete or scrub away the REAL evidence that proves who the real enemy is. How would the family members react if they found out that the same people who scrubbed away the evidence were now placed in charge of overseeing all incoming terrorist threats? Bishop McElroy also attempts to scrub away Revealed Truth by refusing to identify the REAL enemy, of all mankind, which is sin. Bishop McElroy cannot blame a gun, knife, crock pot, or Church teaching on sexual morality. Bishop McElroy fails to see how he re-victimized many, when he appointed the same individual, who deleted crucial evidence, to oversee incoming reports of sex abuse.

The greatest tragedy in Orlando was to be caught off guard and unprepared to die. The same applies to all of us.

https://www.pagadiandiocese.org/2016/03/07/watch-new-yorks-homosexual-priest-mafia-exposed/
From the pew you are correct about Idaho Falls the MSM will not tell you this story thank you Alex Jones. My question is why in Gods name would Obama and the State Department haul in 800 Somali Muslim families to the Idaho Falls area? Having lived in Idaho it is a white-Christian state with not one thing in common with Somali Muslims, they can’t drink alcohol, eat pork, go to dances, wear shorts, skirts, go to niteclubs, I find it chilling that Obama settles his Muslim imports to places like Boise, the Twin Cities, Billings, Cheyenne, Fargo, Salt Lake City, Portland, does anyone here follow the lines what his intent is based upon these cities I for one do!! Over 1,000,000 MUSLIMS in just 7 years folks, the demographics are forever changed…
So Janek, you finally tell us what it is to be an American: white, Christian, alcohol drinking, pork eating dancer in shorts or skirts that spend their time in night clubs. Thanks for that information. If you go to Polk County, Tenn. there is a person running for Congress who has campaign signs calling for making America white again. I always thought that an American was someone who lived in America. This is the country where people come to be free, to get away form oppressive governments, to make a better life for themselves, like most of our ancestors. I haven’t seen an anti-American screed like yours since the sixties when people marched in the streets for equality. Shame one you.
I wonder if Obama is sending any of his “Muslim imports” to any of the rural towns/cities in the deep south? If not, why not?
Orlando, Florida, was a sad situation, and we should pray for the dead and their families, but what is even sadder is that the practice of sodomy has killed far more through diseases and bodily injuries. It seems to be a “no win” activity.
What is this Catholic “anti-gay prejudice” that the Bishop says exists? Is it that the Catechism (Church Magisterium) calls the homosexual lifestyle “objectively disordered” (2358). Is it that the Church finally had to deal with its own homosexual clergy who were sexually abusing young males? Is it that the Church won’t marry same-sex partners? Is it that wildly dressed gays, who invaded a Mass at a cathedral a few years ago, were denied Communion? Bishop McElroy, give me a clue on what this “prejudice” is?
Blaming Christianity for Islamic Terrorism
https://www.crisismagazine.com/2016/blaming-christianity-islamic-terrorism
It is difficult for faithful Christians to understand why they are being blamed by some of their own religious leaders for inspiring a terrorist attack that killed 50 and wounded dozens more…
Indeed it is naïve for Bishops Lynch and Carcana to think that an Islamic terrorist would be motivated by traditional Christian teachings on the morality of homosexual behavior and the sacredness of the marital bond between one man and one woman.
There is certainly no evidence to support their claim. Their attempt to find moral equivalency between the teachings of Christianity and the brutality of Islam suggests a profound…
