Christianity flourished in the midst of the excesses and collapse of the Roman Empire because it stood for a strong morale foundation and a belief in something larger than self. This is being destroyed in front of our very eyes.
Given the state of “music” in most Novus Ordo parishes, I would be in favor of the entire choir resigning in protest.
Meanwhile, the statements from outraged parishioners quoted in the excerpt show the utter lack of catechesis among Catholics in the post-conciliar church.
What’s the problem? Were they married in a Catholic church?
It’s always a bit surprising to note how many Catholics seem okay with just subverting the Church’s values.
Gay marriage is a non-starter with the Catholic Church. And if he was a music director in a Catholic Church he bloody well knew that even better than most.
“said member Judy Janish. “I think people should be able to marry who they love and who they belong with.” “
She should stop calling herself Christian.
June Henning, who served alongside Moore for 17 years, also expressed disgust over the decision made by Archbishop John Nienstedt. "I'm disappointed that somebody's out there that says somebody is not good enough," she said.
Have any of them been excommunicated for their beliefs?
"I'm disappointed that somebody's out there that says somebody is not good enough," she said.
Say Ms Henning, would you feel the same if Jamie Moore had decided to "marry" your husband? Or if a female Music Director was having an affair with your husband?
BTW, none of us are "good enough", we are all sinners (those who have "missed the mark" of not loving God with all our heart, mind & strength). As a result of our not loving God our actions are often those that are what we call "sins", lying, stealing, murder, adultery, homosexuality, etc.
15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." Matthew 18:15-17

FWEEEET! Here Fido...were late for the church!
I parked somewhere next to a car with a “Catholics for Marriage Equality” bumper sticker on it. As I was telling my son that even though we’re not catholic, their sticker goes directly against all church doctrine, we saw the people who owned the car. The “lady” in the dress was clearly a male. It was pretty sick that any church would accept and celebrate that behavior.
Sorry music director, actions have consequences.
Christ was free of judgment? Then why did He tell people to “sin no more,” call them “hypocrites,” “brood of vipers,” etc.?
So should be be able to marry his brother if they are in love? Women can be so stupid. Without gullible, blubbery women the "gay rights" fraud couldn't even get off the ground.
“the way Christ would live; free of judgment”
Why do people keep saying that? It isn’t scriptural, at all.
BTW God does not owe us a happy life with whomever or whatever we want to be married to. He has already given us everything by sending Christ to die for us.
The real problem here is this congregation would rather have what they want instead of what God wants.
Sounds like a lot of Catholic thinking I have encountered.
The little old lady next door, who is a VERY faithful mass attending and contributing to the church member, says the SAME thing.
And liberal as the day is long........
“While there are some who don’t welcome everyone into the greater Catholic Church, I know that the vast majority of people at St. Victoria live lives that are truly examples of the way Christ would live; free of judgment, filled with love.”
As If God has no rules, and does not judge. By this guys definition murders should just be free to roam and kill at will. Because stopping them or speaking out against them would be judgmental, and not love.
Why are these people Catholic when they don’t believe in its teachings?
And why was a gay man given such a leadership position in the church? He’s clearly practicing sin & encouraging others to as well.,
The church bought this on themselves by opening leadership positions to non-believers.
“Asked”?
“I think it’s unfortunate,” said member Judy Janish. ‘I think people should be able to marry who they love and who they belong with.’”
Then go find a church that allows that. Nobody stopping you.
