Comments made by a Catholic priest in Fort Worth this week are causing controversy.
The remarks were made by Father Jim Gigliotti during a homily Tuesday at St. Andrew Catholic Church and School.
It began like a traditional homily.
Gigliotti read a scripture then delivered a sermon to children and staff.
But about seven minutes in, Gigliotti spoke directly to faculty about a post on a school Facebook page he said celebrates Joe Biden's victory.
“This is my role to say this. You want to go to court about this, that’s your prerogative. You want to have a fist-to-cuffs fight about it, I don’t do that,” he said.
He continued, “I'm just going to take a stand and let the pieces fall where they may. You are not to celebrate the fact that this pro-abortionist is close to being President of the United States.”
The Catholic church opposes all forms of abortion.
Biden, who is Catholic, is pro-choice.
“So boys and girls, we are in for a time if this man is actually declared the President of the United States along with a Vice President whose name I won’t even pronounce who is grossly anti-Catholic,” Gigliotti said.
Online, the video is getting mixed reaction from supporters calling it a "tremendous, powerful message" and critics, like Dawn Eden Goldstein, a Catholic author who has taught in seminaries, and who holds a doctorate in sacred theology.

Well, President Trump canceled the Johnson Amendment.
The pope will transfer Fr. Gigliotti to Northeast Alaska
Truth is hate
To those who hate Truth
He’d have to talk the bishop into it first.
The false pope, you mean. And yes, the poor priest will be lucky if he sees another week in his parish.
His bishop, Bp Thomas Olson, refused to let Texas Right to Life on church property, which says it all.
I listened to the comments made by Father Jim Gigliotti, and I could see nothing at all that could be remotely considered to be “controversial” at all. Rather, I thought that his well reasoned comments came across like a sorely needed breath of fresh air.
Thank you Father. God Bless.
BiteOne isn’t pro-CHOICE, he’s pro-ABORTION.
The baby being dismembered in the womb, decapitated by forceps, burned alive in the womb by chemical and/or saline compounds, or having its skull crushed and the brain sucked out, doesn’t have a choice.
Agreed. He's a brave priest. Too few of him in the world.
NBC wants to go after anyone who disagrees with Biden
Prayers sent for this good man.

That this is even controversial is emblematic of how far down the drain our culture has gone.
Ping
I feel for you. I am glad I am Protestant
Does anyone have a link to this video without the news commentary? I’d love to see this sermon. I don’t live far away and have been looking for a new church home since I dumped the episcopalian-communists.
We are desperate need of a whole bunch more, just like him!
God bless Fr Gigliotti! May many other priests join his ranks.
