I think it depends on what this “information booth” is promoting. Jesus himself went into the dens of sin to preach to sinners. It’s not the healthy who need a physician. If you want to save sinners you have to go where the sinners are. BUT...if the booth is encouraging or promoting this parade and what it represents then everything in the article is spot on.

Lector removed from Mass. shrine after gay memoir

BOSTON — A Catholic shrine in Boston has removed a man from several lay leadership posts after he wrote a memoir in which he described himself as “a happy porn-writing Sodomite.”

Scott Pomfret served eight years at St. Anthony Shrine, including as a Eucharistic minister. That was after disclosing to the Franciscans who run the shrine that he had published erotic works and advocated same-sex marriage.

The Boston Globe reports that his sarcastic memoir, “Since My Last Confession,” was too much for church leaders. The book mocks Cardinal Sean O’Malley and suggests some local clergy are sexually active.

St. Anthony’s executive director, the Rev. David Convertino, said some became concerned about Pomfret’s role.

Pomfret said he was “amazed” the friars removed him from leadership because he interviewed many for the book.

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