Some Catholic anti-abortion leaders are concerned about Fr. James Martin's decision to speak at the DNC
A host of Catholic anti-abortion leaders are expressing concern about Fr. James Martin's decision to speak at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), because they argue the party has embraced political positions that are antithetical to Church teaching.
"The only reason for a Catholic priest to attend and speak at the DNC is to admonish them," said Abby Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood director who now leads a group supporting ex-abortion clinic workers.
"This is the political party who has removed God from their platform, celebrates homosexuality and promiscuity, and claps and cheers for abortion. The DNC and all they stand for is something that any Catholic should flee from, not speak in favor of. Unfortunately, for James Martin, celebrating values antithetical to Catholic belief is par for the course. His behavior is one of scandal, possibly leading Catholics away from the core teachings of the Church, those that value and love every human life."
Fr. Martin has come under fire in the Catholic community for the way he portrays Church teaching on homosexuality, and has made several statements that chided conservative Catholics. However, he's framed his approach as "building a bridge" through which "the Catholic Church and the LGBT community can enter into a relationship of respect, compassion, and sensitivity."

We had that. No one bothered them and what they did behind closed doors or in crazy clubs was their business
they wanted more. a lot more
Jesus went among the sinners but he didn’t tell them it was A OK what they were doing
If this priest was going to admonish the dems then great.
but he’s not
Martin is likely a practicing homosexual. He does everything but admit it directly.

Bingo!! We have a winner!
Fr. Martin is a disgrace - to actual Catholic who attend mass his name is worse than mud. He is the poster boy for “Needs Laicization”
Gosh,I don;t know..Lib Catholics and Christians are always talking about God not sending anybody to hell.WE ARE ALL GOING TO HEAVEN.......

James Martin is a filthy sodomite, sodomy promoter, and he approves of the murder of children.
Where i’m going will be a roll of the dice at the time I get judged.
But there’s no logic in there being a Heaven and not a Hell.
If good AND evil exist in the world, then common sense says those people won’t all go to the same place.
There’s no prize for participation
That’s how the libs hook people..Most people don’t want to work real hard to be good...They want to know they can embrace their sin and still go to heaven..That’s why the libs like Fr martin have such big groups follwing him,,,,
Agreed.
I’ve seen and experienced too much in life to believe such nonsense.
The Bible wasn’t written for laughs.
It’s the Real Deal.
Don’t recall a passage about sinning, not wanting forgiveness and still getting into Heaven.
100% phony
NO JOY James Martin is NOT a Priest in the TRUE sense....he’s a GAY ACTIVIST in a black suit and white collar. VILE.
