February 7, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy said recently that there is “repugnant” and “corrosive” bigotry toward individuals identifying as LGBT on the part of “a group of people across all religious views.”
This “particularly antagonistic” regard for LGBT individuals by people in this group generates from the depths of the souls, Bishop McElroy said. It is a reality that must be faced and one that is “incompatible with what we hope to be as a church.”
The bishop was cited and quoted by New York Times columnist Frank Bruni for a recent “The Scariest Catholic in America” op-ed that focused on another Catholic venue rescinding a speaking engagement from controversial Jesuit Father James Martin.
Martin’s talk at the Diocese of Metuchen’s Our Lady of Lourdes parish in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, scheduled for February 15, was cancelled after concern was expressed over the priest’s appearance. A petition from The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP), a lay Catholic organization, asked the parish to host a “Catholic speaker who respects Catholic moral teaching and honors God's law.”
The Martin event was moved to a secular venue.
It was at least the fourth cancellation of a Martin appearance by a Catholic organization in recent months related to his problematic presentation of LGBT issues.

Real shame that these priests have never had the time to read the Bible. God has some pretty “corrosive” views on homosexuality.
He’s rite chu no.
Satan has been smiling a lot lately.
“The Scariest Catholic in America”...
He doesn’t even know me :)
Because homosexuality is so normal that if everyone was gay, humanity would be wiped out in a hundred years. (some people live to quite an old age these days, maybe 115)

Sin is not Godly. Avoiding sin is an ongoing and difficult task.
The pagans regularly practiced homosexual “sex”. You only need read Roman, Greek, or other ancient texts to know that.
It was considered a preference instead of an innate characteristic.
Those who do not want any self control or norms for sex want it both ways, both as an innate, born with preference and as a choice.
They simply want to invalidate any legal or moral restraint on sex with anything or anyone.
Avoiding homosexual “sex” and upholding self-restraint in sex has been a central point in the building of Western Civilization.
It moved us past the Romans and Greeks.
Greek Philosophy, Christian Morality, Jewish business practices combined to create the rule of law and Western Civilization.
Wow. That was a great post.
I HATE how well some people write and get their thoughts across so much better than me, here :)
Last sentence was brilliant and I never thought about it that way.
One should hear the words of Father Malachi Martin on this subject back in 1998. How compromising values leads to not only the loss of influence of Christianity, but also the loss of faith itself.
At least listen from the 3 to 17 minute mark. Then try to tell me that he did not call it.

Love the sinner; hate the sin.
And the Catholic clergy wonder why fewer and fewer people show up each Sunday. Why listen to this drivel?
| 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. |
isn’t homosexuality a tradition among Catholic clergy?
Buddha called it “monkey brained” because it was an observed behavior in creatures which had no reasoning or enlightenment. Beastly.
I understand what you are saying. And thus Christianity is no longer a combined body, and its influence is greatly Reduced. But also most true faith is lost.
Yes, some San Diego bishops do have corrosive and repugnant pro-homosexual views.
Geez, Bishop, I’m sorry some people think homosexuality is an abomination, but that’s how it’s been taught for thousands of years. Maybe you, sir, are the one with the “corrosive” views?
No!
McElroy is a heretic and false teacher.
You know what’s repugnant? Feces mixed with what homosexuals call “sex”. Go back and actually read the bible and about the dangers of using an exit as an entrance.
Them gays will always look for a womb to rent.
