Rev. James Martin, SJ—popularly known as Father Jim—was asked to serve as special advisor to Pope Francis to help communicate to the English-speaking world. Some Vatican insiders say Father Jim has been a conduit to help communicate what Pope Francis really wants to say outside of the constraints of the Catholic cardinals and archbishops who run the Vatican.
Father Jim, a popular pro-LGBT author and editor of America magazine, has been disinvited by Catholic bishops and universities who oppose his preaching of tolerance and acceptance.
In a June 2 social media video, Father Jim said it was okay for Catholics and Christians to celebrate Pride month as it promotes dignity, not vanity.

At issue are Catholics and Christians who argue 'pride' is one of the seven deadly sins in the Bible.
“Remember that there are two definitions of 'pride,'” the Jesuit cleric says.
“The first is satisfaction that comes from your own accomplishments, which can morph into vanity—which is bad.”
“But the second kind of 'pride' is a consciousness of your own dignity,” Father Jim argues. “And that's closer to what Pride month represents: a celebration of the human dignity of a group of people who have for so long treated like dirt.”
“And for the religious person, it is a celebration of them as 'beloved children of God.'”
Father Jim noted religion's place in history as oppressor of LGBT persons.
“It's especially important for churches to celebrate Pride since a great deal of the rejection and even violence that the LGBT community has faced has been motivated by religion, or at least what people think religion teaches.”
“It's more about supporting the fundamental human rights of this community, the right to live in safety, the right to be treated as equals, the right to be fully welcomed into society.
Father Jim admonishes those conservatives who use the word 'pride' against LGBT persons.
“Complaints about the use of the word 'pride' don't seem to happen in other situations. People say, 'I'm proud to be Catholic,' or 'I'm proud to be American,' and no one objects to it or says that it's vanity.”
Catholic University of America's Theological College in Washington, D.C. was forced by 'moral' conservative protestors to disinvite Father Jim in 2017—as he was promoting his book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity.
Despite that, Father Jim was invited by Cardinal Blasé Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, on May 22 and 23 at Holy Name Cathedral.
Cupich was appointed by Pope Francis.
Another Francis-appointee, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, archbishop of Washington, D.C., then-archbishop of Atlanta, Ga., offered his support as a new edition was published in 2018.
“[Father Jim] has written a wonderful book that challenges the institutional church to be in dialogue with the LGBT community,” Gregory said at the time. “This has challenged a lot of people, because you don't want to build a bridge if you already think you're right. But this is where we have to go next.”
So did Cardinal Joseph Tobin, archbishop of Newark, NJ—also a Francis—appointee.
“In too many parts of our church, LGBT people have been made to feel unwelcome, excluded, and even shamed,” he said.
You’re absolutely right. Throw in scouting and the military. I’m hard-pressed to come up with a single prominent civic or cultural institution that hasn’t been corrupted. The Mormons maybe? I’m not a fan of the LDS doctrine or dogma or of their prominent exponents like Mittens Romney, but, from the outside at least, it doesn’t seem like the Mormons are pushing leftist and LGBT-ism.
This, plus Lev 18:22. So now The Bible is a “living breathing document”?😖😠
Fathers Neal and Bob.
Speaking of homos, I came up with a good name for a Seattle gay bar, with an aviation twist, called “ Reverse Thrusters”.
Martin is as queer as a wooden nickle. Benedict wouldn’t allow him near the Vatican. With Bergoglio he’s just another member of the Jesuit lavender Mafia who tell Pope Disaster what to do.

two verses I’ll copy/paste in.
So forth she comes, and to her Coach does climb,
Adorned all with Gold and Garlands gay,
That seem’d as fresh as Flora in her Prime;
And strove to match, in royal rich Array,
Great Juno’s golden Chair, the which they say
The Gods stand gazing on, when she does ride
To Jove’s high House through Heavens brass-paved way,
Drawn of fair Peacocks, that excel in Pride,
And full of Argus’ Eyes their Tails disspredden wide.
But this was drawn of six unequal Beasts,
On which her six sage Counsellors did ride,
Taught to obey their bestial Beheasts,
With like Conditions to their kinds apply’d:
Of which the first, that all the rest did guide,
Was sluggish Idleness, the Nurse of Sin;
Upon a slothful Ass he chose to ride,
Array’d in Habit black, and amis thin,
Like to an holy Monk, the Service to begin

Father Jim is an agent of satan. For the Pope to even acknowledge him is wrong. Homosexual people are doing something wrong and we all know it. They are using something nature has created for the purpose of childbirth to perversely use to titilate themselves without any responsibility for what they have done. This is a very serious sin. Father Jim and Pope Francis are trying to make us accept the sins of these people as being okay. They are not! Sexual perverts should not be treated as if they are okay, anymore than treating a murderer or an abortionist as if they are okay. To do so is to turn our backs on what the church teaches. Homosexuals should be treated as what they are. They are people who are playing with something that is created for a higher purpose which they are not entitled to. They were called an abomination in the bible. They are still an abomination trying to shake the title. Nothing has changed. Treat them as who they are and for what they are doing.
We are in a leadership eclipse, both in the Church and in the United States where we have a real leader and an imposter in both realms.
This is happening for a reason we do not fully understand right now. However, it will lead to the truth and The Truth.
Which is utter bunk.
The reason you write something down is so that it may become fixed, so that it may remain constant and not subject to revision of content in a way that it catches people off guard.
Only when something remains true to its nature and its creation is it alive.
What they who are unfaithful call living documents are really doing is treating them as if they were corpses in their power to chop up and rearrange to suit themselves.
They present themselves then as judges of words and not subject to the Word.
You mean Bea House and it’s not exactly what you say. It’s a retirement home for Jesuit priests on the far edge of the campus. There is one man there who was a child abuser. These are all retired old priests, almost all perfectly honorable. The order has to house retirees somewhere.
Oh good lord. How is anyone a follower of this apostate clown?
Jesus said go and sin no more. He did NOT say now go prance in the streets wearing assless chaps.
Thanks for info.
Squirrel !!!
It promotes mortal sin (homosexual acts). That is what it "promotes."
Wouldn’t want to show a little MORAL courage there would ya Catholic Church?
Nahh, need those freaks donations to help pay off all those legal fees for buggering little boys!!
Catholic Church? Yeah right.
Actually, he represents the views of an overwhelming majority of professing Catholics.
Hey, why not just celebrate the sexual abuse of our male children and seminarians while we’re at it. Makes about as much sense.
“WTF is wrong with people who are “proud” of their sexuality?”
Good post, Rocco. As we know, at the heart of all sin is pride. It’s just that a thief (or whatever sin) doesn’t demand a month or parade that’s says, “LOOK! I steal a bunch of crap every day! Look at me! Celebrate it!”
