One of the gifts that many LGBTQ Catholics offer the church is tremendous perseverance, even in the face of rejection. Often when I hear stories like this one, from my friend Aaron, I think of Jesus's amazement at the faith of Roman centurion (Mt 8:10).

Appears persuaded that there is such a thing as an LGBT Catholic. In retweeting his "friend" Aaron's tweet, Fr. Martin is clearly urging us to join him in worshipping people whom he believes fall in this category.

Well, might as well say:

One of the gifts that many serial killer Catholics offer the church is tremendous perseverance, even in the face of rejection

or

One of the gifts that many pedophile Catholics offer the church is tremendous perseverance, even in the face of rejection

or how about

If you’re a MtF transgender, so definitely know something about failure.

Gays aren’t rejected by the Catholic Church; their sins are. They can be gay and celibate, and they should confess their impure thoughts. But the Catholic Church is perfectly fine having those who are devoted to God in its ranks so long as they live their lives by the teachings of Christ.

The problem comes when you get those entitled whiners who claim that you must accept them AND their sins. No, you don’t get a special pass because you’re gay. God’s rules still apply no matter what urges you claim to have.

God’s love has tremendous perseverance

So many reject Him

Its so embarrassingly obvious that James Martin is a flaming, practicing homosexual.

I hope to God his hypocrisy is soon revealed in lurid detail, so he can no longer spread his cancer in the Church.

Even better, trust Jesus as your savior and be rid of slavery to sin. Romans 6. 1 Corinthians 6. Galatians 5.

Everyone needs Jesus even homos. Doesn’t mean being a gay is fine though.

I think this is a great idea. I mean look at how many gay and pedophile priests there are, just let all of them in. Who cares, not me. Their leader is no doubt a pedophile

For all we know, Aaron is one faithful shepherd away from being retrieved from his sinful lifestyle but is flattered and mesmerized by the fawning attention he gets frim the likes of Fr. Martin and thus never stops to consider the possibility of conversion, reversion, repentance, etc.

Whoa...slow down pardner! NAMBLA types first. After the Overton Window has shifted in favor of those fine fellows we’ll see what else is “normalizable”

Is that the Centurion Martin referenced the one who placed vinegar on a sponge and offered that to Our Lord while on the cross ?

This one is precisely equivalent, not just similar.

Yes,you want sinners like those who actively participate in depraved behavior in your church...not to celebrate them but,instead,to teach them.
