Chicago Franciscan condemns African bishops

CHICAGO (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Franciscan professor in Chicago is denouncing African prelates for upholding the Church's teaching on homosexuality.

The Duns Scotus Chair of Spirituality at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Fr. Daniel Horan, exploded in an opinion piece Wednesday — setting his sights on the Ghanaian Catholic Bishops' Conference (GCBC) and calling them "homophobic."

"The Ghanaian bishops have unequivocally participated in and promoted the dehumanization of LGBTQ persons, which has resulted in increased discrimination and violence," charged the friar.

Horan is specifically attacking a January letter from the GCBC — demanding the shutdown of the nation's first LGBTQ community center. The letter stated, in relevant part:

We, the Catholic Bishops of Ghana, write to condemn all those who support the practice of homosexuality in Ghana. We also write to support the position of Lawyer Moses Foh-Amoaning and the coalition, who, for years, [have] been championing the crusade against homosexuality. We also commend other individuals who have spoken in condemnation of this practice. We do this because the Roman Catholic Church is opposed to this abominable practice.

The Franciscan further alleges the bishops were working with a so-called anti-gay hate group. He's speaking of the Ghana-based National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, which is partially sponsored by the World Congress of Families (WCF), based in Rockford, Illinois.

Many,many things I've read in recent years indicate to me that the only place you'll find true Christianity today is in Africa.

It seems the Church is imploding by refusing to follow the Word of God.......

May God continue to bless the Ghanaian bishops!

Dr. Carlson runs the "World Congress of Families", which is on the same street in Rockford, IL with "The Rockford Institute". The Institute of Christ the King Traditional Catholic Church thrives there. It is also where the great Catholic publisher TAN Books was founded (I worked there ten years). The exceptional private Catholic prep school Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy is also there.

Illinois is a mess, but post-industrial, dilapidated Rockford has its gems.

Dan Horan is one of the fab three of gay priests hellbent on destroying Catholic morality: Horan, Jim Martin, and Bryan Massingale. Massingale is black, so he gets away with expressing the most open contempt for God’s laws, but Horan is the snottiest of the bunch. He was ordained by serial homosexual predator Theodore McCarrick.
