Note that Futurechurch has the same address as St. Mark's Parish in Cleveland:

From http://www.cleveland.catholicnet.com/parish/stmark/

St. Mark Church 15800 Montrose Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44111

It is nowover two years since Pilla issued his phony statement (just days before his ad limina visit with the Pope) claiming he was banning Futurechurch from diocesan property:

13 March 2003

STATEMENT OF THE DIOCESE OF CLEVELAND REGARDING AN ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS "FUTURE CHURCH"

"Future Church" (a.k.a. "FutureChurch" ) is not an organization affiliated with the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland nor does it have the support or approval of the Bishop of the Diocese. "Future Church" is an independent organization of individuals who promote an agenda that is not consistent with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and who are fully responsible for the arrangement of their own programs and activities.

Based on the preceding statement, it is not appropriate for the activities and meetings of "Future Church" to be held in church related institutions and/or parish facilities.

If the new policy is enforced, the Church will lose a number of good seminarians.

More than 70 per cent of men who molest boys rate themselves as heterosexual in their adult sexual preferences. Nine per cent report that they are equally heterosexual and homosexual. Only 8 per cent report that they are exclusively homosexual.

And, of course, child molesters are to be believed when you start asking them questions about sex.

Future Church has my blessing to blast itself into the next world. They might learn a thing or two about man's will over God's will.

There is no credible evidence that gay men are more likely to molest children than heterosexual men. More than 70 per cent of men who molest boys rate themselves as heterosexual in their adult sexual preferences.

Let me get this straight--we're supposed to believe that most men who molest little boys or teenagers are not homosexuals? How stupid do they think we are, anyway?

82% of all sexual abuse cases were male homosexual acts .

Future Church is a dissenting group not in alignment with the Catholic Church

Our Lady's Warriors>Dissent>Organizations

 
FutureChurch A regional parish-based coalition seeking to address the priest shortage. FutureChurch claims the remedy is the ordination of married men and women. FutureChurch engages in educational presentations to parishes, grass-roots organizations, and the media. Its current project is a nationally-promoted dialogue on an "inclusive priesthood." Member of Catholic Organizations for Renewal.

Interview With Cardinal Cottier on New Vatican Instruction:

Cardinal Cottier:There is a word that is never used and that, however, is important when we see the work that priests do; it is the word "ephebophilia."

It is not pedophilia, which is attraction to small boys, but refers to attraction to adolescents. It is a very ambiguous and decisive age for every one. And I think it is a very extended form of homosexuality.

Catholics polarized by ruling against gays becoming priests:

Robert Goodkind, an Albuquerque, N.M., psychologist who for many years treated priests accused of sex abuse, said the higher percentage of male victims owes in part to an "overrepresentation" of gays in the priesthood compared with other occupations.

This is the only MSM article I've ever read where a psychologist admitted a connection between homosexuality and the priest molestations.

Who cares. I place about as much importance on the opinions of FutureChurch and their ilk as I do on any other Protestant sect.

Maybe my math is off, but they say 70% of molestor priests are heterosexual, and 8% are homosexual. I believe maybe 2% of priests are pederasts. In general society, 98% of people are heterosexual and 2% are homosexual. Just looking at all these numbers, it seems gays are disproportiantely pederasts vs. the general population.
