Then "Baltimore we have a problem!" This is no Wash Post or NYTs article reporting on something. This is the official website of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Again the official announcement:
Celebrate Pride Month with the St. Ignatius Community!
Description: Embracing God’s Gifts, St. Ignatius’ Gay & Lesbian ministry, is inviting you to join us on Friday, June 13th at 7 PM in the Chapel of Grace, where we will give thanks to God for the gift of family.

So you might say (and have) 'well the Prots are ordaining gays as bishops.' True statement. Perhaps ask some Prots and Evangelicals here on FR what they would do if they received a notification in which their church officially recognized a homosexual pride event. I think most here would say their church would never do such a thing or that they are now going to a church which honors the Lord and His Word.
So please find someone, some Prot here who agrees with the Archdiocese of Baltimore decision to hold this event. Then see if such a Prot or Evangelical would still be attending that church. Or more likely, the elders would remove the pastor.
Truth is traditional Catholics can't do a thing about this at all. You have no say in the decisions of an archdiocese. You must walk lock step with your church 'leaders' and hope they change their minds. Much like the Catholics who had to endure the middle ages and all the bad popes. So you are stuck with very bad and evil leadership which each day traditional Catholics claim can derive their authority from the apostles.
Another point. I also see here a lot how wonderful the Baltimore catechism is. Yet we have the archdiocese of the same city endorsing a sodomite pride event.
Please taketh out that beam my FRiend...
Just called ‘em and gave ‘em hell! Of course, they have all this anodyne stuff as “God’s family” etc. etc., that provides cover.
