Parish priest in Martin’s riding prays PM will be ousted over same-sex marriage
by ALEXANDER PANETTA
OTTAWA (CP) - A parish priest in Paul Martin’s riding says he’s praying the prime minister will lose his seat in the next federal election because he’s doing the devil’s bidding on same-sex marriage.
Father Francis Geremia delivered his message in a fiery sermon during a Roman Catholic wedding mass over the weekend in Montreal. In a telephone interview Monday with The Canadian Press, the priest described himself as a former Liberal who has shifted his political allegiance in spectacular fashion.
He’s now working against Martin’s party - and seeking help from a celestial ally.
“He has to be very careful because he might even lose his riding,” Geremia said from Montreal.
“I pray that he will lose his riding. Because you cannot have two faces: either you serve God or you serve the devil.”
The priest said he’s glad he wasn’t around on a day earlier this year when Martin attended mass in Geremia’s Montreal church.
He said Martin no longer deserves the sacrament of communion because of Bill C-38 - the federal same-sex marriage legislation.
The prime minister is a practising Roman Catholic, attends weekly services and is MP for LaSalle-Emard, which includes Geremia’s St. John Bosco church in the city’s Ville Emard district. . . .
