"EVENING OF REFLECTION for families of gay, bi-sexual and transgendered Catholics to share, reflect and celebrate."
Looks like a typical "diocesean program" at many an ECUSA "diocese" or "parish" - sadly, it looks like episcopaganism is alive and well (unfortunately) on both sides of the Tiber. I guess the "diocese" of Albany hasn't checked the CCC, much less the Baltimore Catechism or the Council of Trent. Don't find anything in any of them talking about such things being grounds for "sharing, reflecting" (much less "celebrating"). I suppose anyone suggesting that for such things an evening of prayer, intercession, and penance would be far more appropriate would be crucified as "mean, hateful, and insensitive." And the lavender agenda continues to be forced down people's throats. Heaven help us!

What part of "intrinsically disordered" and "grave depravity" do these buttheads not understand?

"I believe the Church has a responsibility to all its members. . . . I don’t think gays or anybody else should be excluded from the ministry. Indeed, I think we have a responsibility to reach out to them with sensitivity and compassion but at the same time I also believe that we have to proclaim the Gospel message as we understand it."
