ATLANTA (ChurchMilitant.com) - Celebrity Jesuit Fr. James Martin is heading to Georgia, courtesy of pro-gay Abp. Wilton Gregory of Atlanta, Georgia.

On Friday, Martin announced on Twitter that Abp. Gregory has invited him to speak in October at two Atlanta-area locations.

"Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta has graciously invited me to his archdiocese to speak," Martin tweeted, "so I will be speaking at St. Thomas More Parish (the Jesuit parish) on Sat. Oct 20 and at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on the morning of Sun. Oct 21."

Gregory's personal invitation comes as no surprise to faithful Catholics, as he is one of Martin's most prominent supporters — even publishing a review for the pro-gay Jesuit's 2017 book Building a Bridge.

But this is where we have to go next."Gregory's personal invitation comes as no surprise to faithful Catholics, as he is one of Martin's most prominent supporters — even publishing a review for the pro-gay Jesuit's 2017 book Building a Bridge.

Are all of these gay members or community members who want to join the church in monogamous relationships? Married? Living in sin?

Proud of your defiance to conventional norms and seeking the celebration of your lifestyle choice in spite of thousands of years of biblical teachings.

the sex positive agenda seeks to end all moral judgments regarding sexual pairings of any kind regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).

It fits his very racist, very pro-illegal-alien, doctrine.

Do I believe he voted for Obama-Hillary-Kerry-Gore-Clinton?
Absolutely.

Would he vote for a pro-life candidate for anything?
Not if a democrat were on the ballot.

It’s too late to save the Catholic Church. I remember a bishop being interviewed on Fox. He said 50% of Catholic priests were gay.I expect the Catholic Church to accept gay marriage in order to regain this evil world’s approval.

Good, he just removed ALL doubts as to where he stands and what he stands for. He simply is just one more Cardinal/Archbishop, Bishop who has to be sent packing.

"Atlanta’s Catholic archbishop has appointed a pro-gay priest who heads a gay-affirming parish to be diocesan spiritual director for victims of sexual abuse by clergy, LifeSiteNews has learned. An Atlanta-area Catholic advised LifeSiteNews that Monsignor Henry Gracz, pastor for the pro-LGBT Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta, is a “Spiritual Director for Victims” for the archdiocese. “As a victim of abuse by church personnel you may experience a crisis of faith,” the Atlanta archdiocese’s website states. “Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory has appointed a group of priests as spiritual guides to reach out to you as you may be experiencing confusion and hurt in your relationship with the Catholic Church.”": US archbishop appoints pro-gay priest as ‘spiritual guide’ for sex abuse victims: report
