The Catholic Church’s Secret Gay Cabal [Archdiocese of Miami]
Gawker ^ | 7/28/11

Posted on 07/28/2011 8:22:59 PM PDT by marshmallow

John C. Favalora is a sallow old man who looks like the corpse of Dom DeLuise. He likes attractive young men to sit on his lap and allegedly treats them to trips in the Florida Keys. He was, until recently, part owner of a company that makes "all natural" boner-inducing beverages. He's also the Archbishop Emeritus of Miami.

Favalora, who was the most powerful Catholic official in Southern Florida from 1994 until last year, stands accused of cultivating what one group of pissed-off Catholics describes as a corrupt "homosexual superculture" in the 195 churches, schools, missions, seminaries, and universities that constitute the Miami Archdiocese. If their allegations are to be believed, for sixteen years Favalora ran his organization like the don of a lavender mob, rewarding his favorite homosexual sons and forgiving their many indiscretions—rampant sex, hedonism, embezzlement, alcoholism, and the railroading of chaste priests among them—while punishing those with the temerity to complain. Wanton hedonistic gay sex is of course unobjectionable—even encouraged!—among those not in thrall to the idea that God hates your penis. But for the 500-or-so priests and deacons charged by The Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI with ensuring the spiritual integrity of 1.3 million of God's children in Southern Florida, it's…unorthodox.

Favalora's accusers are loosely organized under the name "Christifidelis," and in 2005 they undertook an extensive investigation of priestly misbehavior in the Archdiocese. They now believe their findings resulted in Archbishop Favalora's sacking last year, and his replacement by a manly, conservative workaholic named Thomas Wenski. The leader of Christifidelis, an attorney named Sharon Bourassa, declined to comment for this story. But it hardly matters. Christifidelis's exertions on behalf of Mother Church are recorded in an enormous, binder-bound document entitled "Miami Vice: A Preliminary Report on the Financial, Spiritual, and Sexual Improprieties of the..........

Wow, that is a well-done article. Congratulations to the Christifidelis group on their work, as well. They are the ones who put the knife in the problem.

Roughly 93% of the Miami parishes are led by gay priests? How long does it take to undo that? Also, how does this not get noticed until it gets that far?

Just a FEW bad seeds? Yeah, Right! Satan and his minions are hard at work in the Catholic church, at the highest levels.

Jesus promised that the faithful would be mightly tested by Satan, and that is exactly what is happening...I guess we Catholics can take solace in that we are surviving under these horrible evil men and their deeds....afterall, the church is NOT its hierarchy nor its buildings...

And the Catholic Church claims to represent Christ? I don’t think so.

"Satan and his minions are hard at work in the Catholic church, at the highest levels."

I believe that this problem begins in the seminaries. I believe that if the Church wishes to solve this dilemma that they should send qualified people to the various seminaries to seek out and dismiss those who are perpetuating this problem. It is a mission that I believe could be completed in a ten year period and perhaps in a shorter time.

having grown up in a large Catholic parish, having 4 brothers, all active in the boys choir and as servers, I can attest to the fact that our priests to our knownledge never were anything but moral,proper,dignified, and great leaders.....

what a different time....

I think the problems started when they began letting homosexual men into the priesthood for fear of not having enough priests....edged on by homosexual bishops I suppose.....

I’d be interested to hear you comment on that one m.

Believe it or not I find this story as distressing as you do.

Whenever I see or hear stories like this, I remind myself of Boccaccio’s story of the Jew who converted to the Church after visiting Rome. His reasoning-any faith directed by a hierarchy like the one he saw HAD to be divinely maintained. That and the old saw about the Church surviving despite its cardinals and bishops. The Mother Church has survived much mortal frailty in its time on Earth-I like to think that God still has plans for her.

I do not know how, if it is even possible, to send your thread to every Freeper. It should be and they all should attempt to read the complete document. Many will find it to repellent in the vile acts documented to finish. Why should all read this document irrespective of religious affiliation or even believing in revealed religion? Because this document describes what on some level the armed forces will be exposed to with the new ‘gay positive’ regime in place. This is what queers do when they infiltrate an institution. They subvert it and hollow it out from the inside like meal weevils in a flour barrel. Queerdom is inherently present oriented and focused on the crudest kind of sensuality. It cannot by definition focus on transgenerational institutional values. It's basis is on hedonistic enjoyment of the moment and is incapable of promoting the sort of self sacrificing unselfishness that is the sin qua non of perpetuating institutions which have claims to a supra rational mission and purpose.

Careerism is a cancer on the soul of the US armed forces today let the gay subculture attach itself like a remora and the queers promoting queers will become the end in itself. Catholics look at what your ancient church has become in one lifetime. Soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines pray for your services and start to think clearly as to how you can find the psychological stamina and moral clarity to keep what has happened to the RC Church to happen to your services.

If one measures corruption by the magnitude of the difference between the ideals an organization professes to espouse and and actual practices of its leaders, it seems doubtful that there has ever been another organization with this level of corruption.

I wouldn't want that character touching my child. I have to wonder if the parishioners know about all of this and, assuming that they do know, do they not care?

I'm very afraid that this homosexuality thing goes very far back in time and, assuming that the will to control and eradicate it exists, will be very difficult to eliminate. I still believe that they key to removing this scourge is strict control and oversight of the seminaries. Gay priests would not exist in the church if proper precautions had been exercised many, many years ago. It's not too late to lay the law down and exercise those precautions now.

Interestingly I note the crescent flag of the pedophile false prophet over the left shoulder of the false bishop. What an unconscious irony.BTW Catholics, why is the standard of Islam present at an anniverdary of one of your churches?
