In October 2000, Empereur was a special feature at De Paul University's annual "Coming Out Week," when he presented a talk on "Homosexuality in the Catholic Church." He told studennts that "a lot of gay people have heard a message to the gay community from a minister or priest that would quote a scripture and it was perhaps done incorrectly. "There is little in the scriptures about sexual orientation and when it is discussed, most references to homosexuality are only connected with keeping bloodlines going.".

Just when you think it CAN'T get any worse...

I've bookmarked this and noted the visit to Boston in early October. I don't "know" anyone but I have a few local contacts that I will pass this on to. Maybe enough publicity can nip it in the bud.

Aside of being generally outraged, this stuff makes you depressed as it bears out the fact that there are two entirely different Catholic Churches here in the USA - AmChurch and the Roman Catholic Church, operating side by side and sometimes in the same place.

Pray for discernment.
