Kingston Archbishop Michael Mulhall issued a statement on the archdiocese’s website late Friday afternoon, calling the priest’s statement “inappropriate.”

“I did not sanction this message, and it does not reflect the spirit of accompanying charity and compassion that should always characterize our faith.

Romans I says God’s judgment is not only on those who practice homosexuality but also on those who approve of it.

It’s remarkable how quickly the LGBT crowd has gained the upper hand. Growing up in the San Francisco area, I can remember old-school priests regularly blasting the “pride” events (or whatever they called it back then; gay freedom day?) back in the ‘80s and no one was surprised or angry. Thirty years ago, the priest’s views would have been mainstream and non-controversial. Now, they’re an outlier.

By tomorrow, Big Media will preface “Embattled” before his name, and upgrade the “backlash” against him.

Then popie Frankie will make an example of him.

God bless this simple priest.

Isn’t Pride the greatest of the seven deadly sins?

A Catholic priest standing on Biblical principles? How dare him!

Father Chisholm is correct.

A Catholic Catholic-priest.

I fully expect the Canadian government to prosecute him.

Why do you have to be 'proud' about where you insert your genitalia???

I couldn't care less about what you do behind closed doors ... I just don't want to hear about it.

"the spirit of accompanying charity and compassion"

Does this dumb-ass archbishop understand that even HIS comments are unacceptable to the Gaystapo? "Charity and compassion" implies that there is something wrong with homosexuals that we must be charitable and compassionate about, as if they have some sort of illness, but the homosexual position is that there is nothing wrong with them.

Moreover, there was nothing uncharitable about the priest's message; he was simply making an obvious deduction from Church teaching, i.e., that Catholics should not attend an event which celebrates sin and which - moreover - is usually characterized by overt lewdness.

If Archbishop Mulhall hasn’t actually given the guy the ax he is, for Canada, taking a fair bit of heat.

It’s worth noting that the good Archbishop doesn’t take issue with the truth of the statement. And I can vouch with some confidence that the Archbishop would agree that the statement is fundamentally true.

FWIW—the Archbishop was consecrated by Archbishop Ventura back when Ventura was still in Canada. There is presently a thread going on Ventura.

Archbishop Mulhall still administrator of the diocese where Lifesite itself is headquartered and has offered them a lot of cover from the rest of the Episcopal conference.
