In 1969, New York City police raided the “Stonewall Inn,” a “gay bar” in which sodomy, then criminalized, was being committed. The resulting riots by “gay people” in Greenwich Village are regarded as the genesis of the “gay pride” movement.
The movement spread throughout the country and ultimately achieved governmental recognition by a supposedly religiously neutral but actually inherently anti-religious federal government. Two presidents, Clinton and Obama, have “officially” declared that June is “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month,” thus committing the “religiously neutral” federal government to a moral position that radically contradicts a fundamental precept of the divine and natural law, the Sixth Commandment, to which there are no exceptions whatsoever. Sad to say, even Trump acknowledged “Pride Month” by way of a tweet.
What is it that the members of the “gay pride” movement are proud of? They are proud of what the Catechism of the Catholic Church rightly calls an “objectively disordered” condition that inclines them to what the same Catechism calls “acts of grave depravity” that are “intrinsically disordered,” declaring that “under no circumstances can they be approved.”
Today, if one wishes to hold public office, be employed by a major corporation or hold any position of prominence in social life, including the performing arts, one must bow the knee to “gay pride.” To refuse to do so is to commit professional suicide, at least at the level of public life in the acceptable mainstream.
Even the Catholic hierarchy, with a few noble exceptions, such as this one, observe the required conformity; or worse, in the case of such hugely embarrassing figures as Cardinal Dolan of New York, bestow their blessings upon an objective intrinsic evil. Infinitely worse still, no less than the current occupant of the Chair of Peter has signaled his approval of “gay” relations, however ambiguously, including his approval of a synodal document that declares that “homosexual unions” provide “precious support in the life of the partners.”
How did this happen? How did sodomy commandeer the word “pride” in such wise that no one may question the lie without the risk of grave consequences? How have we reached the point where even the human element of the Church is cowed into accepting the notion of “gay pride”?
In his landmark encyclical Sapientiae Christianae, Pope Leo XIII gave the answer in that noble and clear prose that characterized papal teaching before the fog of obfuscation descended on the Church after Vatican II:
“[T]o keep silence when from all sides such clamors are raised against truth, is the part of a man either devoid of character or who entertains doubt as to the truth of what he professes to believe. In both cases such mode of behaving is base and is insulting to God, and both are incompatible with the salvation of mankind. This kind of conduct is profitable only to the enemies of the faith, for nothing emboldens the wicked so greatly as the lack of courage on the part of the good.”
Hate the sin but love the sinner. To hate sin is to oppose any effort to enshrine the approval of sin in public life. To love the sinner is to defend the truth by which he is made free, as Our Lord Himself proclaims. To profess one’s love for sin by calling it the object of pride is not to love the sinner but rather to do him the greatest injustice by encouraging him to continue on a path that is, to quote Leo XIII, “incompatible with the salvation of mankind.”
Contemporary man has lost sight of the goal of salvation and the alternative of eternal punishment, while the Church commissioned to lead men to beatitude and avoid damnation has, in her human element, “lost the courage to preach the threat of hell,” as John Paul II admitted in Crossing the Threshold of Hope.
To recall the prophetic warning of Ven. Pope Pius XII in 1951: “Venerable Brethren, you are well aware that almost the whole human race is today allowing itself to be driven into two opposing camps, for Christ or against Christ. The human race is involved today in a supreme crisis, which will issue in its salvation by Christ, or in its dire destruction.”
To such a state of affairs in Church and State one can only apply the word ‘apocalyptic’. And apocalyptic developments are precisely what the Third Secret of Fatima, in its integrity, foretells: divine chastisement is the ultimate corrective for the rebellion of man against the God Who made him. And should it happen, no one can say in his heart that he did not know why it was visited upon him.

Chair of “Peter”? What the?
Maybe if the RCC had purged itself of men who sodomized children a few decades ago they wouldn’t be having this problem.
But they didn’t.
So.....

“Chair of “Peter”? What the?”
Well Jesus was a carpenter. He made a chair for Peter. It’s right there in the...oh wait...

“How Did Sodomy Become “Pride”?”
they choose commiting a sin according to the bible, thinking of only their selfish pleasure not truth of what they are doing,hence they are full of themselves = pride.
don’t need any big article or schooled explanation to see it.
lovers of themselves - they know best, no need for God nor Jesus in accord with the bible. If they claim to believe in God at all - it’s like Mayor Petey B - a god he concocted maybe with bits of truth but much twisting or deleting of truth to make his god suitable to his liking and lifestyle, takes sin of pride to do that.
The “pride” comes from their part in destroying the western world.
Nice, saved me an expensive trip...
I’ve wondered that myself. What’s to be “proud” of in letting a man insert things into your rectum? You can take pride in winning a race or writing a symphony or raising a good child. You don’t get to be proud of being a sexual deviant.
“Pride” is just fags whistling past the graveyard.
As usual, it appears you didn’t read the article before putting your foot in your mouth.
Neither Clinton nor Obama are Catholics.

It is Hubris.
The love that just won’t shut up.
Faggies think they own the rest of us.
Towards the end of the Obama Administration, a notion that rejecting the sexual advances of a transgender person was a racist and hate crime was being pushed and the ground work was being laid to pass laws to criminalize it.
Brilliant in a way and somehow the sudden, very public invention and elevation is the trans gender movement seems to be an important part of some larger plan
Why else would it be so blown out of proportion by the political, media and academic elites.
Since transgender is currently such a tiny population segment there is very little public opposition or visa Phil its to passing very dangerous legislation on their behalf under the radar screen because the public perception is that it is inconsequential.
However, central to the trans movement it that trans is all about how you as an individual identify at a given time .....
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.
Here's the heck of it. I am old enough to remember when the "language" around this perverse sin began to change in common church-talk.
At first it was "sodomy". The emphasis was on the vileness of the sin. The objective wickedness of the act. The repentance model was called for.
Then -- I remember this --- it morphed into "homosexuality," with the emphasis on deviant desire as a sickness. The subjective pathos of the person who has to deal with this unbidden orientation. The "therapeutic" aspect is what was emphasized here.
Then, the topic was "LGBT," with the emphasis on oppressed persons and communities who had historically been under-valued, under-accepted and under-loved. The whole focus slipped towards how to root out "homophobia" and how to be more fully inclusive and accepting of this oppressed "community": and this is presented, not just as a new pastoral approach, but as a requirement of justice.
Actually, there are legitimate aspects of all three views, IF, IF, IF you carefully try to disentangle one thing from another, and are alert to put together fragments of the truth
We ARE dealing with abominable sin, AND an un-chosen abnormality which is an affliction which calls for healing care, AND persons who deserve to be treated without slander and wounding stereotypes. (Not shouting "gay is great," but still having an open heart to the individual person, who was made by God to be loved, and to love.)
Then there's something further. Something manifesting true diabolical disorientation.
The fourth approach, which is from the pit of hell: Gay Pride. (1) Gay (2) Pride. "Gay". "Pride". Lord have mercy. This has no merits. This is two focking sins in one. The source of such sins, is hell: and if they run their course, their destination is hell. As a little sample in advance, they even make hell on earth.
"Love must be sincere. HATE what is evil; CLING to what is good." - Romans 12:9
Rant over.
Let's pray for each other.
Homosexuality used to be the love that dared not speak its name. It’s become the love that wont shut the **** up.

They will not stop until the BIBLE is re-written, including marriage is also between one man and one man or one woman and one woman. Most certainly they will want Christ and his disciples to specifically be recognized as homosexual or transgender.
