Jesuit-run, ultra-liberal Holy Trinity Church in Washington, D.C.
The Catholic church that Joe Biden attends in Washington, D.C., is holding its third annual “LGBTQIA+ Pride Mass” on Wednesday, June 14, at 5:30 p.m. The conservative Catholic group America Needs Fatima will hold a Rosary rally outside beginning at 5:00 p.m. in reparation.
Holy Trinity is a Jesuit-run parish that falls under the jurisdiction of Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the archbishop of Washington D.C. Gregory is an outspoken supporter of LGBT normalization in the Church. Last year, he issued a decree placing severe restrictions on the celebration of the Latin Mass in the archdiocese.

A 31-year-old graduate student who has same-sex attraction has emailed Gregory calling on him to stop this year’s “Pride Mass” from taking place.
Founded in 1787, Holy Trinity has a robust “LGBTQIA+ ministry” that affirms homosexual and gender-confused persons in their sins. “Our lay-led ministry embraces individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex, asexual and their families and friends,” their website reads. The church’s pastor, Fr. Kevin Gillespie, defended the “Pride Mass” by citing Pope Francis’ call to “go out to the margins.”
“Our celebration of Pride is not celebrating personal vanity, but the human dignity of a group of people who have been for too long the objects of violence, bullying and harassment,” he wrote in a statement, which made no mention of Catholic teaching on the evil of LGBT acts or lifestyles.
Despite professing to be Catholic, Joe Biden was one of the first politicians in Washington to endorse homosexual “marriage” in 2012. The Church’s catechism considers the practice of homosexuality to be one of the four sins that cry to heaven for vengeance. He has also officiated two homosexual “wedding” ceremonies and has defended abortion for decades. During his administration, he has thrown his support behind LGBT ideology. Just this past weekend, he held a party on the south lawn of the White House that featured a massive “pride” flag.
America Needs Fatima has announced it will conduct a prayer vigil outside Holy Trinity, which is located near Georgetown University. “The Catholic Church teaches that God endowed all people with dignity and they should be treated with compassion and respect. But the Church does not celebrate sin, most especially at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,” the group’s flyer reads. To RSVP, contact Preston Noell (844) 830-3570 or email
In Holy Trinity’s June 4 bulletin, LGBT “ministry” official Brian Flanagan, a “married” homosexual man, observed that June is devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus while also falsely claiming that Catholics can celebrate “Pride Month” because pride can be “a virtue of gratitude for being the persons that God created us to be.”
Pro-LGBT priest Fr. James Martin, SJ, used the same line of argumentation on his website, where he alleged that “Pride Month” and the Sacred Heart of Jesus devotion are “complementary.”

Why do they object to Latin Mass?
HERETICAL ! GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED!

God’s Word could hardly be more clear on the subject.
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Thier blindness could not be darker.
Biden should NEVER be able to receive HOLY COMMUNION.....Jill neither since she’s not a CATHOLIC!
It won’t be long before the Church will perform same sex marriages. If that happens, it’s all over for the Church.
The 4 Sins that CRY OUT TO HEAVEN FOR VENGEANCE ARE
MURDER, SODOMY, oppression of the poor, and withholding wages of workers!
How will Francis handle Tranny Priests?
The time has come to purge all homosexuals from the clergy, makecelibacy optional and disband the Jesuit order. The Jesuit order is now mostly populated by amoral, agnostic homosexuals. Hoosexuals in the priesthood, especially at seminaries and within the hierarchy has resulted in not only the church being corrupted and losing its moral authority but has caused many to lose their faith. Now child mutilation is being openly celebrated within a Catholic Church.
With KID GLOVES!
I think they should’ve put “church” in quotation marks.
Will they take note of the decline at the collection plate?
Sadly, I agree.
Though I typically resist the urge to respond to stuff, this time I must...
Please realize that if you group all of us Catholics into this profoundly tiny and insignificant group (liberal, pervert, mislead, etc) you are also mislead and maybe dimwitted...
Just like with the rest of society, the 2% get 99% of the press (marketing) all the while, 98% are very good people. Make no mistake that us good, wholesome, and faithful Catholics WILL defend our faithful Priests to our death, not just as keyboard warriors.
Also I think I have found the opposite of the Jesuits. The two Catholic churches in this small area of Kentucky (Horse Cave and Glasgow) are run by The Fathers of Mercy. These priests are very educated and warm but very zealous and do not sugarcoat any of the truth. We have had an awesome mission this week with a profoundly well-spoken visiting Priest and will cap off the week this Friday with a prayer vigil in conjunction with Bishop Strickland’s procession at Dodger Stadium.

"Bishop [Fulton] Sheen saw the anti-Christ setting up a counter-Church “which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ.” -- source
