The devil is laughing over this one. I’m sure he’s getting a chuckle over the actions of these people… Why is no one stopping this pro-homosexual agenda in our Churches? Why doesn’t the Vatican step in???
’Coming Out’ Sunday services announced
MINNEAPOLIS, October 5 (UPI) — A group of Catholics in Minneapolis will celebrate “National Coming Out Day” next Tuesday at the Basilica of St. Mary.

Fr. Michael O’Connell will preside over the event, sponsored by St. Joan of Arc Church, as a service is held in the basilica’s St. Joseph Chapel.

“Along with the planned retreat activities, there will be time for reflection, journaling, massage, friendship and recreation,” organizers of the Dignity Twin Cities event said Thursday in a news release. “We encourage participants to stay overnight on Saturday for the full, rich experience of the retreat, but commuters are also welcome.”

Also, this Sunday, Dignity Twin Cities, a homosexual group, will celebrate a noon mass at the Cathedral of St. Paul.

Given that thie is a Dignity event, and Dignity has no standing with the Church, this should not be taken to be a Catholic event. It is an event put on by an organization that has taken it upon itself to call itself catholic.

Were this a Catholic event for those who carry the cross of same sex attraction, no doubt it would be put on by the Courage Apostolate, and be very different.

Blessings,

Gerry

Why in the world is this allowed to take place?!?! Why is this priest not being repramanded in some way? Personally, I’m sick of these kinds of dissident things going on within the Church.
 
St. Joan of Arc Church has been notorious in the past.

They have already been reprimanded several times by various officials from the Vatican, including the then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. The Vatican is already well aware of these people, and they are already well aware that their activities are not approved by the Church.

And yes, I have no doubt that their priest has been reprimanded already, for this.

Unfortunately, we are no longer permitted to burn heretics at the stake, so reprimanding them is about as good as it gets … :cool:

What about excommunication?

They’re already excommunicated, latæ sententiæ. But they are ignoring this fact, or else “playing martyr.”

We also can’t excommunicate an entire parish, or their building - we can only excommunicate individual people.

The sad part is that by affirming these lost and/or defiant souls, others are only confirming them in the darkness of sin and the path leading to destruction. Have they no compassion?

If this were my parish, I would contact the Bishop and tell him that, given the blatant celebration of what the Church considers disordered sexual practices, I do not feel my children are safe there.
 
Send this priest away. Replace him. Place this parish under interdict.

There are many options for the Bishop.
 
Let’s celebrate one of the sins that cry out to God for vengeance. Next week’s celebration will be in honor of willful murderers, then those who opress the poor and finally those who defraud workers of their just wages–hurray! :banghead:

St. Peter Damian and St. Leo IX, pray for us.

Will there be faith on earth when the Son of Man returns?
 
MASSAGE??? What is the point of including massage in this event? To make it offensive to homosexuals as well as heterosexual Catholics? I’m not only offended for myself and the Church, I’m hurt for the Catholics out there struggling with same sex atrraction who see this being allowed. If I were in their shoes I couldn’t help wondering why I bothered…

Massage and staying overnight for the Full and Rich experience. How is sleeping a part of the experience or richness of the retreat? Maybe they wont be sleeping - maybe they will be massaging?:eek:

I am forcibly reminded of Bernal Diaz, that crusty old Conquestadore. After he and his companions stormed the first Mexican temple, and found the blood-encrusted sacrificial stone, the rack of human skulls, and the drying human hearts, he said, “We had now come into the abode of a demon.”

We have no way of knowing what the Bishop is or is not doing. Don’t rush to judgement just because you’re not seeing news reports about his private conversations with these individuals.

Again - this has been going on for years and years - and yes, there has been action taken before - and yes, no doubt, action will be taken again.

You’re absolutely right. We have no way of knowing what the Bishop is doing or not doing.

But we do have a way of knowing of whether whatever he’s doing is effective. And when this sort of thing is going on, the Bishop’s actions to date are clearly ineffective.

I agree…in any other career, it’s the results your actions bring about that, in part, determine whether or not you get to keep your job. He might be doing something, but it sure sounds like he needs to be doing something MORE.
