NEW YORK (AP) — Even as Catholic dogma continues to repudiate same-sex marriage and gender transition, one of the most prominent religious orders in the United States — the Jesuits — is strengthening a unique outreach program for LGBTQ+ Catholics.

The initiative — fittingly called Outreach — was founded two years ago by the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit who is one of the country’s most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church.

Outreach, a ministry of the Jesuit magazine America, sponsored conferences in New York City in 2022 and 2023, and last year launched a multifaceted website with news, essays and information about Catholic LGBTQ+ resources and events.

Throughout history it seems the Jesuits have always been an unorthodox internal schism within Catholocism, the popes have viewed as too powerful to formally rebuke.

The Jesuits were the Catholics’ go-to order during the counter-reformation. It’s for Catholics who are trying to hard not to be Protestant that they don’t mind also being non-Christian altogether.

The Jesuits are also known as the "pointy-headed" order that does a lot of the teaching.

Not too different than the neo-Marxist profs following the Frankfort School into the universities.

Maybe so, but Sodomy is not historically a Communist cause.

Jesuits seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Same Sex Attraction disorder (SSAD).

Certainly not Catholic. Heretical order. Need an inquisition.

Commies and fascists use sexual deviants as foot soldiers to gain power. They undermine society. The stupid sickos don’t realize they get slaughtered once power is achieved.

Luke 5:32, but I don’t get the sense ‘Fr. Martin’ is doing the same type of ‘outreach.’

Fours high school and 4 years college, enough said. The Jesuits are a militaristic organization. They are headed by the Superior General. Jesuits swear allegiance to the Superior General not the pope who last time I checked is also a Jesuit. Heaven help us.

I’m gonna start a Christian grifter organization that targets Jesuits. We need the money, they don’t.
I am sure I can find some verse in the bible that supports financial dishonesty based on need.
