We need more Bishops with spines who know what the Catholic Church teaches and who will articulate it clearly and forcefully in the face of the depravity referred to as contemporary society.

The bishop of the Catholic diocese of Parramatta has called on the church to accept homosexuality, lamenting that the faith is not a “trailblazer” against inequality.
Bishop Vincent Long Van Nguyen has gone further than the Pope, who has said God loves and accepts gay people.
Bishop Long said it was not good enough to treat gay people with compassion and then define their lifestyle as “intrinsically disordered”. The comments, delivered in a speech in western Sydney last month, are likely to cause consternation in the church hierarchy, which is against same-sex marriage.
“We cannot talk about the integrity of creation, the universal and inclusive love of God, while at the same time colluding with the forces of oppression in the ill-treatment of racial minorities, women and homosexual persons,” Bishop Long said.
“It won’t wash with young people, especially when we purport to treat gay people with love and compassion and yet define their sexuality as ‘intrinsically disordered’. This is particularly true when the church has not been a shining beacon and a trailblazer in the fight against inequality and intolerance.”
Bishop Long was appointed by Pope Francis in May to lead one of Australia’s largest dioceses.
The speech is in direct contrast to the views of his predecessor at the diocese, Anthony Fisher, who is now the most senior Catholic in NSW as Archbishop of Sydney.

good grief people, it’s in the 10 commandments!
THALL SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
Since you can’t enter into holy matrimony with someone of the same sex. Any sexual act you commit with them is by definition adultery!
This is Bible 101 people!
Don’t like it? TAKE IT UP WITH GOD!
Because, I didn’t make the rules, he did.
Period!
What about pederasty? Does this heretic want that, too?
Has this *churchman* even READ THE BIBLE ??!!
It’s time that we address this bigoted, judgmental issue of sin.
I seen reports that Trump is behind with the Catholics. It’s starting to make sense.
Likely not.
He may be one of those, like one Anglican priest I met, who never took anything related to the Old Testament at seminary. I can’t help but think this is one of the reasons that Christianity is being assailed on such a large scale. Such pastors and priest really don’t know anything.
Wow. Cultural Marxism 101.
A known heretic appointed Bishop by a heretical Pope. They demons have infested the Church and God will purge them.
Maybe but the New Testament is pretty specific.
That God loves all of his creation is not a green light to do what is “right” in one’s own eyes. “Go and sin no more” comes to mi.nd
It is more than the lifestyle that is intrinsically disordered. It is their psycho-sexual inclinations. But the same can be said for all other inclinations other than monogamous heterosexual permanent inclinations.
“We cannot talk about the integrity of creation, the universal and inclusive love of God, while at the same time colluding with the forces of oppression in the ill-treatment of racial minorities, women and homosexual persons,” Bishop Long said.
Spazspeak and heresy!
“... colluding with the forces of oppression in the ill-treatment of racial minorities, women and homosexual persons,... ”
‘the forces of oppression’? ‘the ill-treatment of racial minorities, women and homosexual persons’?
This character impersonating a Bishop should be canned immediately!
Nice try Bishop, but no sale.
What do you mean - what is starting to make sense?
Bishop demands 10 commandments taken out of bible. Alienates and hurts murderers, liars, adulterers, sex perverts, and greedy coveters.

It all depends on what the meaning of the word “shalt not” is.
Sounds like he is part of the “gay mafia.”
