Exhibit and Sponsor Manager for World Meeting Of Families is LGBT Activist
Pope Francis is set to visit the United States for the first time this September, just prior to the second half of the Synod on the Family meetings, which conclude the following month. According to the World Meeting of Families 2015 website, “The theme of the World Meeting of Families – Philadelphia 2015 is “Love Is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive,” emphasizing the impact of the love and life of families on our society.” For at least one gatekeeper at this event, the definition of “family” includes same-sex couples.
The link on the World Meeting of Families 2015 website for Exhibitors says the following:
Become an Exhibitor A Unique Marketplace, Visited by Thousands
The World Meeting of Families is very pleased to invite you to join us in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Our Exhibition/Marketplace will be a unique floor, combining exhibitors, demonstrations, and activities. We estimate our Marketplace will be visited by thousands of attendees. An Exhibitor Prospectus will be available soon and you are encouraged to carefully read the opportunities available to you. Please contact Teresa Matozzo, WMOF Exhibits and Sponsorship Manager for information. Teresa Matozzo (exhibit@worldmeeting2015.org).

According to the exhibitor contract, Talley Management Group is the “show manager,” and the “show manager” not only holds the right to determine the eligibility of exhibitors, but also reserves the right to reject any application.
As indicated above, Teresa Matozzo is the “Exhibits and Sponsorship Manager” for the World Meeting of Families. What this means is that Ms. Matozzo is a gatekeeper for the event. She has the power to “reject any application” or “limit space assigned to any one company.” And one would hope that an individual in such a position would be one who understands, believes and loves the teachings of the Catholic Church as she acts in the capacity of a gatekeeper for a massive Catholic event. Clearly, this is not the case.
Teresa Matozzo is a homosexual activist in a lesbian relationship. The following images and quotes were taken directly from Ms. Matozzo’s facebook page. In this first image, Ms. Matozzo poses with a rainbow flag (the symbol of LGBT “inclusion”), and in the reflection of the glass behind her, a float of men standing around in their underwear can clearly be seen, indicating her presence at a “Gay Pride” parade.
The next image was taken from Ms. Matozzo’s photo album. It’s the red and pink “equal” sign, which is the symbol widely recognized as support for “marriage equality.”
In Ms. Matozzo’s facebook post from June 15, 2010, she annotates the 11th year of her lesbian relationship, expressing her desire to “marry” her lesbian partner.
The following week, Ms. Matozzo posted about the “Gay Pride” events in New York City.
On August 4, 2010, Ms. Matozzo celebrated the overturning of Proposition 8 in favor of same-sex “marriage.”
In October of 2010, Ms. Matozzo celebrated “National Coming Out Day,” a day for self-proclaimed homosexuals to announce their homosexual acts and attraction.
In July of 2013, Matozzo celebrated the 14th anniversary of her lesbian relationship.
Conclusion
The problem here is very clear and quite simple. An individual responsible for vetting exhibitors and sponsors for a marquee Catholic event should know, love and faithfully serve the Catholic Church. Even just having a mere non-Catholic vet sponsors and exhibitors would be problematic for the simple reason that they wouldn’t have a proper understanding of or vested interest in maintaining the integrity of Catholic teaching among the sponsors and exhibitors. But to place an individual whose very lifestyle is the complete antithesis of the most basic tenets of Catholic moral teaching in such a position is to pose a great danger to the integrity of the event. A shepherd may as well make a wolf responsible for guarding the gate of a sheepfold.
Contact the World Meeting of Families 2015 organizers and let them know precisely why this is a problem and ask how and when this problem will be resolved.
Wish there were Wolves at the gates of the W Hut!
Thank you for your post; I followed the link and saw that a couple of the pictures have been removed from her Facebook, however, they are still at the link. And there is some good commentary at the link as well. There are good people trying to upright this world. Thank God!
Good. This whole thing stinks to high heaven, and needs to be exposed.
I called and left a message at the event phone number given. I will report back to FR if they return my call.
Who is in charge and who appointed her? I doubt it was Absp Chaput.
Excellent.
“Talley Management Group, Inc. Selected as Lead Logistics Partner for World Meeting of Families - Philadelphia 2015 Theological/Pastoral Conference”

“Archbishop Paglia, key planner of families meeting, faces criminal probe”
“Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, the head of the Pontifical Council for the Family and lead Vatican organizer of September’s World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, is under investigation by Italian prosecutors into charges of embezzlement.
Published reports in European media outlets say the investigation stems from 2011 when the archbishop led the Diocese of Terni in Italy, and diocesan funds may have been used improperly in a scheme to purchase then resell at a profit a 14th century Italian castle.
A diocesan financial officer at the time was also the head of an Italian firm that purchased the property, which today remains undeveloped...”
Archbishop Chaput runs Philly now, and he is smart, theologically orthodox, and media savvy. He once was misquoted by the NYTimes and pulled out his tape of the interview and had them retract their claim.
He also has given talks at Franciscan University of Steubenville.
One doubts he will allow such a takeover.
Archbishop Chaput: “...Once participants arrive they will find programming for all types of families, including “non-traditional families,” Archbishop Chaput said in response to the issue of families headed by homosexual couples.
“Everybody is welcome,” he said, adding that although the meeting will “primarily involve a Catholic understanding of the family,” the virtues of the family are the same: “love, fidelity and support in time of need,” he said...”

David L. Cohen, executive leadership cabinet, “World Meeting of Families”:
“...Though he has little free time left over after his commitments to Comcast, Penn and his family, Cohen is always happy to pitch in and help if he can. He has been very influential in two high-profile events coming soon to Philadelphia: the 2015 World Meeting of Families and the 2016 Democratic National Convention...”
“...Beyond all of these commitments, Cohen is also an active Democratic fundraiser with close ties to the Clintons — he said he couldn’t imagine supporting anyone other than Hillary in 2016. In 2011, Cohen hosted a dinner at his home that raised more than $1.2 million for Obama’s reelection campaign.
“I have been here so much, the only thing I haven’t done in this house is have Seder dinner,” Obama joked at a 2013 Democratic fundraiser at Cohen’s home, which also brought in more than $1 million...”
