LOS ANGELES, California, March 29, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ recent large-scale religious education gathering (LA REC) continued to feature in this year’s event a number of outspoken dissident Catholic leaders who championed the LGBT agenda.

One pro-LGBT priest dismantled centuries of Church teaching on sin, claiming sin is a development of the Council of Trent.

The Religious Education Congress is nothing short of a disaster,” stated one attendee of the March 15-18 event. “With insolent, gay-affirmative priests crying for change, and liberal Ph.D.’s with a soapbox and a bone to pick, it’s no wonder why so many poor and miserable souls are confused about the Church and what she actually teaches.”

Christian Patin, a Catholic husband, father and blogger from southern California attended the Congress expecting to encounter dissent from the Church’s teaching. He said his expectations were fully met.

“This year, just as every other year in recent memory, the conference was armed to the teeth with dissident, problematic, outspoken, unruly leaders of the Church,” Patin said.

“The exhibition hall that was teeming with dissenters and defenders of moral relativism,” he added, “and I waded through the countless waves of nuns in street clothes and priests in anything but clerics – save for a few in collars and some other brave souls in full garb.”

Patin said amidst the large number of topics included in the three days of workshops, the “glaringly obvious,” workshops with “transgender,” or “gay,” or “LGBT” in the title caught his interest.

Of the 300-plus presentations at least 10 centered on “LGBT ministry.”

Controversial Jesuit Father James Martin was on the roster with a workshop on the theme of his pro-LGBT book, which is titled “Building a Bridge.”

Sounds like Karl Marx. Why would a guy like that want to be a priest?

About 20 years ago a Jesuit friend of mine (We went to HS together) told me that there was a war starting for control of the Society of Jesus between the “Straights” and the “Gays”. Looks like the war is still going on!

The homosexuals won that war long ago.

Why would anyone be surprised that a pervert would express that opinion?

Full disclosure... I am a lifelong Catholic. Further, in all sadness I can no longer use the phrase, "is the pope Catholic?"

Hard to spin “Thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman. It is an abomination”.

I received my doctorate in Theology from a Jesuit university; my doctoral thesis was on the topic of the Bible and homosexuality, which I was told makes me an authority on the subject. It is truly disheartening to see the abominations now presenting themselves in the RCC and other churches.

The concept of hell was invented by Christians. That is fact. Jesus wasn’t trying to start a new religion, he was trying to reform an existing one.

Sheol (the Hebrew underworld, abode of the dead) and Gehenna (in Judaism and Christianity known as hell) are places that OT Jews knew all about.

Got anymore wise ideas?

Actually no. The Concept of hell I merged prior to Jesus. There were two factions In Judaism. One did not believe in any after life. These were the folks that asked Jesus a man marries a women and dies. His brother marries her and dies etc. whose wife is she in the after life de. They were seeking to expose hoew rediculous life after death would be. The other group believed in heaven and hell. How else would calling them sons of Satan children of the devil etc make any sense to them? He played them against each other all the time.

Nope. It already existed among the wandering Hebrews, long before Christianity, or if you want to get extra religious, when Adam and Eve got themselves removed from Eden.
