Holy Redeemer is a liberal Protestant church run by the Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco. The pastor has been captured on video sprinkling Holy Water on a departing bus—the parish’s float in the Gay Pride Parade—which can be seen on video flanked by naked and men and women in the parade.
Holy Redeemer is the church where the Archbishop gave Communion to two members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and pretended afterward that they took him by surprise. Any priest knows that no priest celebrating Mass could have missed the two Sisters, who were not far from the front pew. The bishop’s claim not to have seen them is preposterous. In any case, the bishop was and is well aware that Holy Redeemer’s congregation consists almost entirely of dissenters from Catholic teaching, and largely of outspokenly sexually active gay men.
Niederauer’s appointment to San Francisco means that Rome has granted the schismatic American Catholic denomination another decade or so to masquerade as part of the Roman Catholic Church.
Thanks for the bad news... :-(
“Holy Redeemer is a liberal Protestant church run by the Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco.”
Wouldn’t that make it a liberal Catholic church, then? Or are you just using “Protestant” as a synonym for “folks whose theology I don’t like”?
