Hundreds of LGBT Activists Protest Outside Cdl. Pell’s Funeral in Sydney

Hundreds of protestors gathered outside St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral in Sydney to voice opposition to the late cardinal's outspoken stance in defense of Church teaching on sexual ethics.

SYDNEY (LifeSiteNews) — LGBT activists gathered outside of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney, Australia, during Cardinal George Pell’s funeral on Thursday to express their hatred for the recently deceased prelate.

Footage of the event captured by Sky News Australia showed a large gathering of a “couple hundred” protesters holding numerous rainbow-colored flags and mean-spirited signs while repetitiously chanting “George Pell, burn in hell!”

One protester was shown holding a threatening sign that read, “Death to all who stand in the way of freedom for queer people.”

Supporters and mourners of Pell, in contrast, could be seen behind barriers holding up rosaries and other religious items.

According to a Sky News reporter who was on the ground, the pro-sodomy protesters ended up “clashing with supporters of the Catholic Church” outside the cathedral, leading to the arrest of “at least two men.”

The protest was organized by a group called Community Action for Rainbow Rights, and was advertised on social media under the title, “Pell go to Hell! LGBTI protest at George Pell’s funeral.”

Pell, who died on January 10 at age 81 following routine hip surgery, was well-known in his native Australia for his defense of the Catholic Church’s condemnation of sodomy, abortion, and same-sex “marriage.”

Queer people are in bondage to sin and evil.

They are skating on the thin ice of modern life.

“George Pell, burn in hell!”

I seriously doubt that's happening ... OTOH, Hell is precisely where these militant, violent sodomites are headed. They need to repent, while they still can.

An apropos quote from today's Catholic Thing website -
from a review about a recent biography of the late great Cdl. George of Chicago.
While the quote is from a few years back, it puts the finger on why the secular world hatred of the Gospel, had evolved into the increasing violence toward the Church, around the world today.

Cdl. George said:
"The Gospel’s call to receive freedom as a gift from God
and to live its demands faithfully is regarded as oppressive,
and the Church which voices those demands publicly is seen as an enemy of personal freedom and a cause of social violence.
The public conversation in the United States is often an exercise in manipulation
and always inadequate to the realities of both the country and the world,
let alone the mysteries of faith.
It fundamentally distorts Catholicism and any other institution
regarded as “foreign” to the secular individualist ethos.
Our freedom to preach the Gospel is diminished".

“Queer people are in bondage to sin and evil. True. Proof? Inverted, maladaptive and queer people support Rainbow Rights.

There is an old saying to the effect that one is known by their enemies ... and while that is a side issue in eternity (it is having the one friend, Jesus, that matters) here among mortals being hated by homosexuals because you oppose them in society is a relatively good thing.

For far too long people have made appeasement and support for poofters the end all, be all of culture (listening to The Wall yesterday I noted it equates opposition to faggots with antisemitism and hatred of dark skinned folks) as if there was no freedom higher than who is doing what with their genitals.

And considering that faggots and transgenders will probably dominate the Antichrist’s political structure it is likely to only get worse.
