Saint Anthony’s Shrine Joins Boston’s ‘PRIDE’ Festival

Boston’s annual homosexual “Pride” Parade — which will occur this Saturday, June 14th — is a cauldron of depravity. It is characterized by lewd behavior, immodest dress, and lurid displays of exhibitionism and sadomasochism. The message of the parade, and that of the festival which follows it in City Hall Plaza, is one of radical rejection of Christian morality, of pride in mortal sin.

Incredibly, this year it will actually be worse. The marshals of the 2014 parade will be the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a grotesque group of transvestites whose members costume themselves as Catholic nuns. They have a long history of mocking the Catholic Faith, producing obscene parodies of Catholic worship, exploiting Catholic religious imagery, and profaning Catholic symbols and sacramentals, such as the crucifix. Their blasphemies and sacrileges include the “Hunky Jesus” contest and the “Condom Savior Mass,” where contraceptives are distributed in place of Holy Communion.

Astonishingly, one of Boston’s most popular Catholic churches, Saint Anthony’s Shrine — administered by Franciscan friars, members of the same religious family as our Capuchin archbishop — will host an information booth at the festival in City Hall Plaza, where the parade ends. Whatever evasions, excuses, or rationalizations are offered, any sane person would reasonably conclude that the presence of the friars will send a signal of support and approval for an event which celebrates the sin of impurity against nature.

This is a betrayal of the Catholic Faith, and it is uncharitable to the souls who will be lost by confirming them in their deadly sins. Sadly, when it pertains to homosexuality, this is not the first time that Saint Anthony’s has compromised its Catholic identity.

Please contact Cardinal Sean O’Malley and ask him to put a halt to this grave scandal! You may e-mail His Eminence at ArchbishopSean@RCAB.org. or leave a telephone message at 617-254-0100 or 617-782-2544.

No one in secular society should be expected to take seriously Catholic teaching about marriage, about chastity outside of marriage, or about Catholic ideals of modesty and purity in speech, dress, and behavior, when one of Boston’s best known Catholic institutions participates in something as course, as crudely lascivious, and as flagrantly pornographic as a homosexual pride festival. Please urge your family and friends to join you in contacting the Cardinal!

God has already judged homosexual behaviors, and clearly forbidden them.    For example, the Holy Spirit had St. Paul write:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?    Do not be deceived.    Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the Kingdom of God.   
1 Corinthians 6:9-10

If there is a disagreement about something between some group of friars and the Holy Spirit and the written Word of Almighty God, there should be no doubt in anyone's mind as to who is right about the matter.

Cardinal Sean O'Malley was recently appointed by Pope Francis to serve in a Vatican antiabuse guiding panel, so he should not allow this, and he should also ask the Pope to clarify exactly what he meant when he was quoted as saying what they are putting on their t-shirts and buttons, so that no one can take it the wrong way in the future.

“However, If this were say the year 50 AD, I do believe you would have found the Apostle Paul at the end trying to win converts to Christ.”

St. Paul was apparently on a different mission than these guys.

St. Anthony Shrine is on New Ways Ministry’s list of “Gay-friendly Parishes and Faith Communities”.

“Truth is, there should be a lot of Christians standing were the Saint Anthony’s Shrine is going to be to enlighten the lost by sharing the Gospel of Christ with the truth in hopes of saving some lost souls.”

They’d need some serious protection evangelizing to that crowd in that particular environment if they hoped to escape in one piece.

This is relatively trivial in comparison to other things he allows. Under his leadership, the Lavender Mafia has been empowered to a disgusting level.

If your doing the Lords work, then the Lord will protect you. If you die in the process, then the Lord say's your work in the world is complete and he has brought you home.

Way too many Christians are so connected to the world that they refuse to face the danger Christ told us we would face for Him.Imagine if Paul was more worried about his flesh than his soul?

Tertullian said that The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. The church is dieing in America because the Saints in America like their blood too much to offer it as a sacrifice for the church today.

The same Pomfret was the head of the SEC in Boston for several years under President Obama.

And Terry Donilon, O'Malley's communications director and cabinet member and Tom Donilon, Obama's former national security advisor are brothers. Note how O'Malley loudly boycotted the Boston College graduation just last year because he claimed he didn't approve of BC honoring pro-abort Enda Kenny, but this year when the guest of honor was John Kerry, O'Malley obediently trotted along and participated in the event. The hypocrisy is laughable.

That is what I was thinking. And I pray you are correct.

And the words marriage and family.

***
And “equality”.

Certainly true, but prudence must also come into play. Not everyone is called to throw themselves deliberately into the lion's den. And attempting to evangelize in the midst of such flagrant, in-your-face revelries is probably a poor allocation of evangelical human resources.

"That is what I was thinking. And I pray you are correct."

I wasn't. If you go to their website they are promoting and condoning homosexuality and selling rainbow tee-shirts which read "Who am I to Judge".

[Heart-Rest]

Thanks, Salvation! We should all contact these bishops (and others).

(You just had a school shooting up your way, didn't you? Praying extra for you Oregonians, and for our whole country, and the crazy way things are going.)

Saint Francis of Assisi wouldn’t have done this. He embraced Lady Chastity

Quite true — but look at what the California city named after him is now known for...

A shame, since it's such a beautiful city.
