[Catholic Caucus] James Martin’s ‘ministry’ posts ‘LGBTQ confiteor’ calling on ‘queer saints’

A lesbian’s blasphemous, pro-LGBT rendition of the Confiteor, posted on Fr. James Martin’s website, diminishes sin and invokes ‘spiritual ancestors.’

An essay published on Father James Martin’s heterodox Outreach site includes an “LGBTQ Confiteor” that blasphemously invokes “queer saints.”

In her October 25 essay for Outreach entitled “An LGBTQ Catholic guide to the Mass: Praying the Confiteor,” Ariell Watson Simon, a woman who is “married” to another woman, discusses her experiences praying the Confiteor at Mass and claims that the faithful overly focus on sexual sin.

At the end of her essay, Simon gives an adaptation of the Confiteor specifically written for so-called “LGBTQ Catholics,” which asks all the “queer saints” and “my spiritual ancestors” to pray with them.

“The next time you recite the Confiteor in Mass, say it like you mean it. Listen to your neighbors as they confess to you and ask for your prayers. Hear it as a call for mutual aid in the project of healing and growth. I offer this adaptation of the familiar words, as a Confiteor for LGBTQ Catholics,” Watson wrote.

The homosexualist, James Martin, S.J., has received special attention (in the positive) from the synodal popes:

The Confiteor (I Confess)
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done,
and in what I have failed to do;
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

What Martin has done is turned the prayer of contrition on its head. He is not asking forgiveness for having offended God the Almighty. He is telling God that these sodomites and lesbians are more important than repentance.

My diocese has held the ground and the Faith so far. We have a holy Archbishop. Pray that it continues.

The traditional Confiteor:

I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the saints that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore, I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.
