Fr. James Martin at the Outreach fundraiser, July 2024.
Father James Martin S.J.’s pro-LGBT group had its recent fundraiser hosted by two “married” homosexual men in a seemingly recurring event.
In a social media post, the prolific LGBT advocate and Jesuit priest revealed details of the latest fundraiser for his pro-LGBT group, Outreach. “Thanks again to Brian Stevens and Alex Capecelatro for hosting a fundraising dinner for Outreach at their beautiful home in Provincetown, Mass,” Martin wrote.
Some days later, Outreach also posted on its social media channels about the fundraiser. “Outreach thanks Brian Stevens and Alex Capecelatro for organizing and hosting a fundraiser at their home in Provincetown, Mass., last week,” the message read.
Stevens and Capecelatro “married” in May 2023, and have been “together” for 11 years, with their homosexual lifestyle an active and public aspect of their lives. The pair live together and have become firm supporters and friends of Martin’s LGBT activism.
Outreach’s social media post continued by highlighting the importance of such fundraisers for the continued LGBT activism that it performs:
Our ministry of building community with LGBTQ Catholics is made possible by the generous contributions of our friends and benefactors, whose dedication to this ministry of welcome inspires us every day.
Please consider giving to Outreach so we can continue making the church more inclusive for all LGBTQ people. No gift is too large or small. Thank you!
Martin’s LGBT work appears to have brought him closer to Stevens and Capecelatro, with the July fundraiser being the second such event this year that the pair have hosted.
In February, Martin joined with other Outreach supporters at Stevens’ and Capecelatro’s house in Los Angeles. According to the statement from Outreach, Martin spoke about the Synod on Synodality at the meal – an event at which he was a papally invited participant and at which he championed the cause of LGBT promotion in the Church.

Outreach itself operates “under the auspices of America Media,” which oversees the far-left, Jesuit-run America Magazine. The group is the brainchild of Martin and his past pro-LGBT activities, as it aims to become a global resource center “where church leaders, both clergy and lay, can encounter the LGBTQ faithful, in their ‘joys and hopes’ and ‘griefs and anxieties’ as well as engage in respectful dialogue.”
Outreach has received signal support from Pope Francis in its young existence, with Francis sending letters of support to the group via Martin on the occasions of its annual conferences.

Martin, himself a controversial figure throughout much of the Church in America, is a favored personality at the Vatican, being regularly received in private audience by the Pope.
After the December publication of Fiducia Supplicans, Martin became the first priest to publicly confirm he would offer “blessings” of homosexual “couples,” and he then did on December 19.
The Catholic Church teaches that the homosexual inclination is a “an objective disorder” and “a disordered sexual inclination which is essentially self-indulgent.”
The Church also condemns the promotion of the homosexual lifestyle or activities. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s (CDF) 1975 document Persona Humana warns how “there can be no true promotion of man’s dignity unless the essential order of his nature is respected.”
Notwithstanding this, Martin’s LGBT activism has consisted in regular promotion of ideologies and lifestyles that contradict and reject Catholic morality.
His record also includes promoting images drawn from a series of blasphemous works by homosexual artist Douglas Blanchard and describing viewing God as male as “damaging.” Martin has additionally promoted homosexual unions and called for openly homosexual individuals to kiss during the sign of peace at the Novus Ordo Mass.
The Jesuit has also criticized Church teaching that homosexuality is “disordered,” suggested that Catholic doctrine on homosexuality is not “authoritative,” and cast doubt on the biblical condemnation of sodomy.

Bergoglio to destroy the Catholic Church. Biden a Catholic, to destroy America. Pelosi, a Catholic, to destroy babies. There is a poison that needs rooted out from that organization.
I’ve been saying for yrs that the homosexual goal was to weaken the Catholic Church and fundamentalist churches that oppose faggotry based on scripture. They want absolute approval of their hedonistic and narcissistic lifestyle from every area of society.
