Prominent Jesuit Priest Tweets Support for Transgender Bathrooms to 100k Followers

February 23, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – One of the most well-known Jesuit priests in the United States tweeted his support of boys using the girls' bathroom and vice versa.

Father James Martin is the editor-at-large of America magazine and has a large social media presence. In November, he accepted an award from New Ways Ministry, a dissident group that has been condemned by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the U.S. Catholic bishops. During his lengthy acceptance speech, he said the Church should embrace homosexuality's "special gifts."

Yesterday, President Trump reversed former President Obama's transgender bathroom order, which forced schools to allow boys in girls' showers, bathrooms, and locker rooms.

"It doesn't hurt anybody" for boys to be allowed in girls bathrooms and vice versa, Martin tweeted. "It's an affront to their dignity as human beings" to deny men access to women's restrooms and vice versa.

Where is Father Martin's concern for girls who don't want to undress in front of boys? For sexual assault victims whose attackers are emboldened by such policies? Or for one of the first passages in the Bible: "male and female he created them"?

I do not follow professional Christians in any club. I follow Jesus, I do not want males watching little girls and women piss.

I was raised Catholic. Altar boy. 12 years of Catholic school. Sodality. Active in my church.

I left after the sexual predation coverup. It amazes me that Catholics haven’t risen up against this...whatever it now is...gay-pedo-anything-goes “church”.

So we give legitimacy to some heretic based on his number of twitter followers? Trump has 25 million plus. I guess he overrules this clown if we are using that as a basis.

I was not as involved, but I have not been to mass in years and have not given a penny since after the umptenth time the church gave my donations and millions from others to victims of their perverted ways.

I never knew there were so many religious homosexuals until the Internet, Obama, and Soros collided....

Reminds me of the pleading of teenage boys trying to get into the pants of teen girls back in the day anyway they possibly can...

I must be missing something. All bathrooms are the same other than urinals in the men’s room. No matter how you view your gender you can use the restroom. So why would you want to make others of the opposite gender feel uncomfortable? Seems really selfish to me. Screw the a-holes who have to make things fair to themselves at the cost to everyone else.

Gender confusion, sexual curiosity, and possibly even some same-sex attraction and experimentation is normal during childhood where they know no better. But when you become a man, you know better and you set aside childish ways.

I don’t casually throw around Bible quotes, but I’m reminded of one about being better having a millstone around your neck and getting thrown in the ocean.

Millstones, anybody??????

I prefer the bible’s word “sodomite” because it relates what is in store for unwashed “abusers of themselves with mankind.” Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed with unquenchable Fire and it’s an example for us today (Jude).

Transgenderism is a lie. “In the beginning God made them male and female”, according to Jesus. And God ceased his creative work on the 7th day. There are only two sexes, but a lot of man made abominations.
