Abp Schnurr: 'The event is in no way sponsored by, sanctioned by or associated with the Catholic Church'

CINCINNATI, Ohio (ChurchMilitant.com) - An Ohio prelate is warning the faithful about a talk offered by pro-gay priest Fr. James Martin, SJ.

On Friday, Abp. Dennis Schnurr of Cincinatti published a statement making clear Martin's talk, scheduled for March 24 at the University of Cincinnati, "is in no way sponsored by, sanctioned by, or associated with the Catholic Church." Other speakers include censured religious Sr. Jeannine Gramick and self-professed lesbian Jamie Manson.

The archbishop's statement came after a number of Catholics flooded his office with calls and emails last week urging him to issue a public warning against the Jesuit priest, who is best known for his attempts to normalize homosexuality and transgenderism.

Schnurr's statement reads:

Dear Fathers and Deacons,

You may hear from some parishioners about an upcoming event at the University of Cincinnati subtitled, "A Dialogue on Faith, Catholicism, and the LGBTQ Community." To be very clear, despite its billing, the event is in no way sponsored by, sanctioned by, or associated with the Catholic Church. In fact, one of the scheduled speakers has been ordered to not speak on behalf of the Catholic Church in the United States due to the grave error of her teaching. The Code of Canon Law (Can. 216) states in part that "no undertaking shall assume the name Catholic unless the consent of the competent ecclesiastical authority is given." My permission was not sought in this case, nor would it have been given.
