Canuckistan's CTV News has a disturbing report today from Kingston ON, whose Archbishop, Most Rev. Michael Mulhall, has publicaly reprimanded Father Robert Chisholm, the pastor of St Gregory the Great Church in nearby Picton ON, for warning his flock in the parish bulletin that good Catholics should not participate in any Pride Parade or other Pride Month activities.
Why not? Because, wrote Fr Chisholm, homosexual activites are contrary to Christian Faith and morals.
In response to complaints from the LGBTQ2Setc Nazis, Abp Michael Mulhall released a statement, saying in part, "I did not sanction this message, and it does not reflect the spirit of accompanying charity and compassion that should always characterize our faith." The statement goes on to say, "The Archdiocese has spoken with the pastor of the parish. He regrets any hurt that his inappropriate comments have caused."
Abp Mulhall has obviously drunk deeply of the "church of accompaniment" flavour of Pope Francis' Flavoraid. Walt suggests, with all due respect, that the prelate read "What the Catholic Church teaches about homosexuality", WWW 12/6/19, particularly the following:
5. Since the homosexual "orientation" is intrinsically evil, any and all acts, whether sexual or not, by which a person knowingly chooses to move toward, cooperate with, reinforce, or act upon a homosexual "orientation" is itself a sin, either venial or mortal.
Which is pretty much what Fr Chisholm said. Who's right? You don't have to be the judge. God will take care of that.
