He certainly took the admonition to turn the other cheek firmly to heart.👍
 
One of his follow up tweets said he saw a"pride" float sponsored by the Episcopal Church that had a scantly clad person dancing on it. So that was interesting.
 
It’s funny how even when gay “marriage” advocates “win,” some of them still say and do hateful things.
 
Incredibly minor considering the scandalous desecration of the Cathedral in 1989.

I was greatly edified by this blog series, written in 2009.
A little-known anniversary passed very silently on the tenth of this month, the twentieth anniversary of AIDS activist group ACT-UP’s desecration of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. The New York Times reported the incident. It was the culmination of many smaller-scale desecrations at the Cathedral by gay groups, including Dignity. From 1987-88 I was a seminarian for the Archdiocese of New York, and was present at the Cathedral for Sunday Masses with the Cardinal when Dignity would seat themselves in rows midway down the aisle, then stand with their backs turned to the Cardinal as he gave the homily. They hated him as no other because he was pro-life, because he was a faithful son of the Church and would not give his blessing to the use of condoms for any purpose.

Cardinal O’Connor’s famous rejoinder was, “Good morality is good medicine.” For that singular statement he was regarded as little more than a caveman in Cardinal’s robes. From the Times article:

“Protesters said yesterday’s action was prompted by what they said was Cardinal O’Connor’s growing verbal assault on abortion and on the use of ‘safe sex’ with condoms as a precaution against AIDS.

“In October, the Cardinal expressed his admiration for Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion group that frequently blocks entrances to abortion clinics. In a speech at the Vatican in November, he re-stated his view that distributing condoms or clean needles was an inappropriate way to combat the spread of the AIDS virus. In a phrase frequently condemned by demonstrators yesterday, he said, ‘Good morality is good medicine.’”

What the Times did not report was that one protester crumbled the Eucharist at Communion time in an act of desecration never before seen in the cathedral. Protesters also threw condoms all over the cathedral. They were right about one thing, people were dying from this disease. AIDS patients were still considered lepers in many quarters. It was a frightening time.

Cardinal Dolan doesn’t seem to draw the same level of vitriol and condemnation. But he’s a consummate politician.
 
First of all, I don’t know why any Christian, especially a Priest, would even go near a Pride Parade if he knew what was going on :confused:

Second, what is this suppose to mean 😦
A day after the incident, Morris posted the hashtag #lovewins on Facebook in a post mentioning the Supreme Court’s decision on gay marriage.

Love certainly did not win, but rather lust (contemporary people don’t seem to know the difference).

And third, why would he tweet this? All it comes off as is a uncharitable and politically motivated stunt (unless he’s one of those who almost unconsciously tweet EVERYTHING they experience). “Look how mean those gay people are!” I don’t think this is in the Spirit of Christ.

Christi pax,

St. Peter and St. Paul, pray for us!

Father Morris’ little sister is lesbian and he has appeared with her on OutQ, the Sirius XM gay channel:

Gay pride events aren’t uniformly respectful or uniformly disrespectful. I don’t think his being there is an endorsement, it may very well be, like his appearance on OutQ, an opportunity to connect with whoever may be amenable to heaing the Catholic POV.

Being there may not have been an issue but his #lovewins sure is.

It doesn’t surprise me coming from Fr Jonathan Morris. I heard several of his on-air discussions with his sister, and it seems like his heart came before his vocation in several instances. These talks were one reason we canceled Serius XM.
