Francis received homosexual activist James Martin, a fellow Jesuit, at Casa Santa Marta on 12 June for an hour-long meeting.
Afterwards, the homosexual activist wrote on Twitter.com: "With his permission to share this, the Holy Father said he has known many good, holy and celibate seminarians and priests with homosexual tendencies."
According to Martin, Francis also "confirmed" his homosexual activism and "showed his openness and love" for those who practice homosexual sin without repentance.
Ping
Is James Martin celibate?
If someone chooses a celibate lifestyle, why does anybody need to know his predilections? Are homosexuals that are celibate just that more special?
“Good”? As in........?
Is that a prerequisite of Jorge for granting and audience with his highness?
This is Jimmy Martin, S.J's umpteenth meeting with Bergoglio.
Maybe you can give us some inside hints on how to get an audience with Jorge the Humble.
Does one really have to be either a queer, a baby-killer or a treehugger to be granted such an audience?
Pope Francis meets with Fr. James Martin, reportedly affirms his LGBT activism
The Pope has embraced the devil. IMHO
I wonder if an hour is long enough for the old guys.
I don’t think effeminate men should be priests, even when chaste. They are poor models.
Men with homosexual desires who are not effeminate and who have every intention of being chaste probably still should not be priests. There is too much temptation, coercion, flirting, blackmail where there are many homosexuals. A good man trying to be chaste is exposed to too many occasions of sin, too much pressure.
Maybe if they were two percent but we know the Lavender Mafia is more prevalent than that.
Time to start bringing middle-aged, married deacons into the priesthood.
If priests take a vow of celibacy, why ????
How do the homo priests handle the Book of Levicticus?
Bergoglio has a dazed look in that photo. I suspect that his recent erratic (even by his standards) behavior and comments are likely indicative of a new dementia-stage Bergoglio.
"Celibate", wink, wink.
Word of warning to Pope Francis and Fr. James Martin: “Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil...” (Isaiah 5:20)
To both the Pope and Fr. Martin: you have been advised.
I am glad to see you reach out and celebrate Fr. Martin’s 25th anniversary of being a priest. How inclusive of you, Ebby. It’s a nice surprise.
POPE DOPE I
On another note, do you laugh at God as your hero, Jorge the Heretic, encourages us to do?
Mike Gavagan is a good Catholic family man who very openly wears his Catholicism. He was present with your Pope. Is he claiming to be offended? Are you going to slander him, too? You seem to know slander quite well, Ebby.
