NEW YORK, July 15, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - When New York state Senator James Alesi announced to gay marriage supporters recently that his priest embraced him at mass after he cast his vote for gay marriage, he failed to mention one important point his priest and his religious community have been excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
I went to Mass Sunday in my church and I was so warmly received, Alesi told attendees at an event sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign earlier this month. It doesnt matter what religion you are, but I know in my religion, when I went up to receive Communion, my priest embraced me, he said.
However, the New York Times reports that Alesi belongs to Spiritus Christi Church, which broke with Rome in the 1990s “in order to support gay men and lesbians,” as well as female clergy.
The two clerics at Spiritus Christi are Rev. James Callahan, who was validly ordained in the Catholic Church before his excommunication, and pastor Mary Ramerman. Bishop Matthew Clark of Rochester excommunicated Callahan in 1998 and removed him from his post as administrator from the city’s Corpus Christi Church, according to the group. The entire community was declared excommunicated the following year.
Alesi’s office confirmed to LifeSiteNews.com that the senator was hugged by his priest, but did not answer when asked who the priest was. Spiritus Christi Church also did not respond as of press time.
Alesi, one of the most prominent senate Republicans in New York, voted for gay “marriage” after previously opposing it. Alesi has claimed that he only cast his vote against gay marriage in 2009 as a political move, to help Republicans reclaim the chamber in 2010.
And the truth finally comes out!

is it possible to be more deceptive without actually lying?
Awesome find wagglebee! thanks!
Homosexual “logic and reasoning” is antithetical to Natural Law Theory and all Theology which isn’t corrupted.
Of course, they lie and cover up the truth to validate their evil behavior. That is the MO of all evil doers. They want to be god and determine right and wrong—when for thousands of years and our Constitution embrace Natural Law Theory—God’s laws—which are set by Judeo/Christian ethics. These are Absolute Truths....proven throughout history to be the most productive, flourishing ideology that has ever existed for “free” people. It is the ONLY one which can support a “free” people.
That is why this Marxist idea of moral relativism—that they are gods and can make up right and wrong from “feelings” and “urges” even when they defy nature—is comical if it were not so demonic. But it is to destroy our Just Law based on natural laws and create chaos which always results when laws are not based on Universal Truths (Cicero).
Evil.
My Good Lord, please bless me, a sinner, and free me from sin, and I ask the same for these and for all your screwed-up human race.
No sir, you did not go to Mass.
You went to a wine and crackers brunch.
Since he was excommunicated, there was no consecrated Host.
An unconsecrated wafer is a small piece of bread. It would have more meaning if there was a slice of pepperoni on it.
Actually, I wish more homosexuals would simply go to their fake gay churches and stay out of the real ones.
You wrote:
“Since he was excommunicated, there was no consecrated Host.”
I don’t think excommunication would affect the consecration.
Good find.
Satan and his minions spinning lies.
From the Free Republic Archives of 2005, an article that explains it all.
If the Priest is excommunicated, he no longer has the power to consecrate a host.
The homofacists lie?
Who knew.....
Ah, so he is NOT A CATHOLIC.
That explains a lot.
You know they're off the wall when even Bishop Matthew Clark had enough and excommunicated them.
Leftists lie.
Sharks bite, skunks stink, leftists lie.
It's what they do ...
