ROME — Pro-LGBT Jesuit Father James Martin rushed to the defense of German Cardinal Reinhard Marx Saturday, after the latter proposed changing Catholic teaching on the morality of gay sex.
After Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, admonished Cardinal Marx, calling for his resignation, Father Martin suggested that Cardinal Marx had not contradicted Catholic belief in any significant way.
“Bishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas, says that Cardinal Reinhard Marx, former chairman of the German Bishops Conference has ‘left the Catholic faith,’ not for denying the Trinity or the Incarnation, but for saying that the church needs to rethink its position on homosexuality,” Father Martin declared on Twitter Saturday morning.
In his statement, Father Martin seems to imply that only a rejection of established Catholic teaching on doctrinal matters — and not morals — constitutes a serious departure from Church teaching.
Cardinal Marx’s proposal that the Church can simply reverse its millennial, biblically based teaching on the immorality of sodomy is, however, a bridge too far, as a helpful April 1 explainer in The Pillar points out.
Within “the context of the cardinal’s remarks — his hopes to see the Church effectively upend its entire understanding of human sexuality, natural law, and revealed divine truth in the Scriptures — the wording might change, but the doctrinal teaching of the Church cannot reverse itself,” The Pillar declares, in reference to the cardinal’s proposal to change the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

GAY SEX....GAY SEX......GAY SEX....that is ALL these Homosexuals care about! DEFROCK HIM, NOW!
Cardinal Marx is riding a fairly large wave of German government-guaranteed money. Who knows if that flow of money won’t slow to a trickle if Marx’s position is threatened? In other words, Cardinal Marx, protected by his secular fiends, doesn’t care what anyone thinks about what he says or does.
The LGBTQUXYZ crowdbis obsessed with sex. They are worse than horny 16 year old boys. And of course if we say “get a room” we are racists. If they want to be freaks, go for it. I dont want to see or hear about it.
Buuuuut,I want to sin,pleeeeeeease let me sin and say it is okay......
And He disapproves of them very,very strongly.
Feel free to believe otherwise all you fake Christians.
Why was my comment number 7 deleted? If you’re going to allow an article attacking Catholics, then why delete a comment attacking Catholics?
And why are you allowing a secular article by Breitbart to be posted as a Catholic Caucus?
Of course he does
Of course he does
Moral teaching IS a doctrinal matter. It is the foundation of all doctrine.
It was personal.
And the Catholic Caucus designation has been removed.
