Canadian Priest Under Fire for Criticizing LGBT Flag

LGBT activists are pressuring a Calgary bishop to fire a priest after he spoke out against the rainbow pride flag.

In February, Fr. Jerome Lavigne, vicar of education for the diocese of Calgary in Alberta, gave a homily titled "The Rainbow," on the origins of the gay pride flag.

"Globally, that symbol serves to represent, promote, to promulgate, to defend at all costs, lawlessness," Lavigne said, adding that the origins of the flag are satanic.

Jack Fonseca, director of political operations at Canada's Campaign Life Coalition, spoke with Church Militant about Lavigne's situation, calling out the tyranny of the liberal Left.

"Father Lavigne did absolutely nothing wrong," Fonseca told Church Militant. "I think gay activists are feigning mock outrage in order to achieve a political goal of silencing the Church."

“Lawlessness” in the biblical context means not in accordance’s with the Commandments.

So now the secular lawlless perverts are applying political litmus tests to the clergy — just like Democrats screen judicial nominees based on their willingness to abandon their faith.

Why would a priest feel the need to preach a homily (I assume that is what he was doing as I am not catholic) on the history of homos?

What does the flag look like for those who prefer animals? Or humans of the opposite sex?
