San Diego bishop publishes his 'pastoral reflections' on listening sessions
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (ChurchMilitant.com) - The bishop of San Diego is denying the existence of a gay subculture in his diocese, in spite of abundant evidence to the contrary.
The conclusion comes after multiple "listening sessions" held by Bp. Robert McElroy throughout October and November, where a total of 2,000 Catholics showed up at various sessions to voice their concerns and air their grievances.
Promoting Homosexual Ideology
A number of Catholics at these sessions challenged the bishop on the issue of homosexuality.
In 2017, McElroy took part in an LGBT Mass celebrating the 20th anniversary of "Always Our Children," a document issued by the U.S. bishops criticized for softening Church teaching on homosexuality.
After Holy Communion, a transvestite took to the lectern to praise McElroy for having "spoken out for equality and civil rights," going on to gush that his "prayers were answered" after having lived in San Diego for 50 years.
Those in attendance noted that there were no calls for chastity or repentance for the many members of the LGBT community in the pews.
The most egregious example of McElroy's pro-homosexual stance involved his decision to promote Aaron Bianco, a man in a same-sex marriage, to be "pastoral associate" at St. John the Evangelist parish. Bianco, known for pushing causes that contradict Catholic teaching, had fallen out of favor under the previous bishop, but was revived and placed back in "ministry" once McElroy took office.
At St. John the Evangelist, Bianco promoted dissident pro-gay group New Ways Ministry (condemned by the Vatican), with McElroy's permission and approval. Bianco also permitted flyers in the vestibule promoting Planned Parenthood for "pregnancy termination."

I check out the occasional article from it on FR and that,s enough for me.
What, then, is your conclusion? Is Church Militant, in your opinion, a reliable source?
I don’t know how reliable a source it is, that’s why I asked in the first place. Going to the site isn’t going to answer the question of how reliable their gossip is.
Yes, and yes.
The actual quote is, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
Are you calling the Bishop a "lady?"
It’s run by Michael Voris, and it’s extremely reliable.
This bishop doesn’t appear to rise to even that level.
