Gay Episcopal Bishop to Preach at San Francisco Catholic Parish

Catholic Culture ^ | 11/22/11

[marshmallow]

A notoriously 'gay-friendly' parish in San Francisco has invited an openly homosexual Episcopalian cleric to lead an Advent Vespers service.

Most Holy Redeemer parish asked Bishop Otis Charles, a retired Episcopalian prelate, to lead the November 30 service. After serving as the Bishop of Utah from 1971 to 1993, he publicly announced that he is homosexual. Divorced from the mother of his 5 children, he solemnized a same-sex union in 2004.

Amen to that.

Somebody needs to set that Parish in SF straight though. Be interesting to see what happens, I'm sure there will be consequences.

Your esteemed Cyril does not have a compelling argument...

If you are a insert name of denomination here you are not a Christian.

If you follow CHRIST, you are a Christian. If you follow a religion, you are lost.

[Judith Anne]

As if you are the boss,LOL!

[smvoice]

Amen. God isn’t saving denominations or institutions. He is saving individuals. Whoever will.

[Hacksaw]

The devil doesn't give a rip about your church. He has that, already.

I hope none of you people sell used cars. A revolting personality isn't going to convert anyone. But it is interesting that you think you know the devil's thoughts.

[metmom]

I'm not but He is. Read and learn so that you too, can be saved.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

DOES IT SAY ANYWHERE WORSHIP DIANA ( A/K/A MARY )??

So not only do we worship Mary, now we worship Diana as well. Along with thinking St Paul was crazy. Just be happy you don't sit near these people at work or have to wake up next to one.

[metmom]

What?

Can you say, *pedophile priests* and their enablers?

Yup, it’s a pretty good bet Satan has his claws in somewhere in that church.

[Hacksaw]

Uh, God inspired the words of the bible...God's inspired wo......

[Iscool]

You’re not too big on the bible, eh???

I'll leave it to you people to know Satan's heart.

[Hacksaw]

You’re not too big on the bible, eh???

You're not to big on a personality, eh???

And by the way, I hope you and the rest of the Junior Woodcucks have a good thanksgiving. Take care of those ulcers.

“Divorced from the mother of his 5 children,”

Let me help

Dumping the mother of his 5 children...

"But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." 2 Cor. 4:2-4.

I know a false religion when I see one. And the Catholic Church is a false religion. The truth is, to the lost, "revolting". It convicts the sinner and forces them to face themselves. As they really are. Some accept the truth. Some reject the truth. But they can never say they never heard.

welcome to the Nestorian heresy.

Christians believe Jesus is one person, with two natures.

Nestorians believe Jesus the man is different than Jesus, the Son of God.

thank you for showing Nestorianism isn’t dead.

isn’t it amazing that only Catholics ( Latin and Greek ) believe Jesus when He said He would be with us always, even to the end of the world. only Catholics believe the Holy Spirit was able to protect the Church for 2,000 years, such that the gates of hell couldn’t prevail against it.

all these other so called “christians” believe the Holy Spirit couldn’t protect the Church, that it went apostate soon after the Apostle John died, and that it was “restored” in the 16th century.

they don’t understand the Church is the Body of Christ and that Body having suffered and died ONCE, can’t die again.

so it is impossible for the Body of Christ to have died after John did.

that Body was here in all 2,000 years.

The Church is not a denomination.

the fact that others outside of it claim to be christian, doesn’t change the fact there is only ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH, founded by Jesus Christ and protected by the Holy Spirit for 2,000 years.

Apostolic Succession has always been the hallmark of the true Church.

[MarkBsnr]

The Church is not a denomination.

Correct. The Church is of God. Denominations are of men.

i’m glad you read it and can see what was believed in 65ad, was believed in 431ad and is believed by Christians today.

the cults? not so much.
