Gay and transgender Christians will set up a ministry during World Youth Day, when Pope Francis is expected to meet hundreds of thousands of young Catholics in southern Poland later this month.

Leaders of the Warsaw-based "Faith and Rainbow" LGBT organisation say they want to minister to the thousands of gay, lesbian and transgender people attending the event by setting up a "LGBT Pilgrim's Haven".

"We want to create a space in which they will feel safe and where they will find answers to issues facing them," organiser Misza Czerniak told the Monday edition of Poland's Rzeczpospolita broadsheet daily.

Organisers however told AFP their initiative is not officially a part of World Youth Day, running June 26-31 in and around Krakow, southern Poland.

The group will set up the "Pilgrim's Haven" in a cafe in Krakow's Kazimierz Jewish quarter.

American Jesuit priest Jim Mulcahy, described on the group's Facebook page as "an experienced pastor and spiritual father of many LGBT believers" in Eastern Europe will be among featured speakers.

"gay Christian" ... I would assume one who takes the mantle of alcoholic Christian, or adulterous Christian, or idolatrous Christian have all repented of the sin and strive with Christ's help to escape the entanglements of the sin committed. But not so with the 'gay Christian' who is not only non-repented, but celebrates the sin and demands acceptance for it. I fear a surprise awaiting for such as these on the last day. Luke 13:22-30.

“Homosexual Christian” is utterly oxymoronic. No such thing.

It is questionable if a non-celibate and unrepentant homosexual can be a Christian. That’s between him and the Savior, I guess. None of the rest of us are any better, just a differing set of sins.

Not Catholics, I'm guessing?

I don't know this for a fact, but I think if they *were* Catholics, the article would have made a triumphant or leering point of that. They called them "gay Christians," so, possibly, there was no Catholic hook to hang their hats on.
