Rev. Joseph Williams, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul in Chicago, Illinois, officiated at a pseudo-marriage for two women in his church. They posted video footage on social media on 22 April and Rev. Williams confirmed that the video is real (OsvNews.com, 1 May).
One of the women, Kelli Beard, is a United Methodist minister. She will become an associate pastor at an Arizona church starting in July. The other, Myah Knight, is a mental health therapist who runs a 'religious trauma support group'.
Beard wore an off-the-shoulder champagne-coloured sequined dress, Knight a black suit with matching fedora and white tie. Rev Williams presided over an exchange of promises and blessed the two ladies.
Addressing the women by name, he asked: "Do you freely re-commit yourselves to love each other as holy spouses [sic!] and to live together in peace and harmony forever?" They answer: "We do, I do." Then Rev Williams blasphemed: "Loving God, increase and consecrate the love that Kelli and Myah have for each other."
Although the video does not show a ring exchange, Pastor Williams blasphemed again: "The rings they exchanged are a sign of their faithfulness and commitment. May they continue to flourish in your grace and blessing. We ask this through Christ our Lord."
He concluded the [pseudo] blessing by making a sign of the cross over the two lesbians and blasphemed again: "May the [pseudo] blessing of God be with you, the 'Father', the 'Son' and the 'Holy Spirit'."
The Archdiocese of Chicago is being ruined by homosexual activist Blase Cardinal Cupich. He will not discipline Rev. Williams.

Chapter 24 in the book of Matthew explains this deviant behavior.
Because of the Bibles guidance on this I don’t waste my time and effort allowing false prophets to drag me down their perverted rabbit holes.
Every elementary teacher knows and understands that repetition is the key to memorization which is the path to "knowledge and education"
FR is being chipped away from where we were.
deep church...deep state.
At least we know which one will be the beard.
A priest can sin, just like a cop or foctor or pope. Don’t knock the Church....that’s why this is news...freak error.
Seems they are replacing Christ’s teachings with their own.
They’re heretics. No mistake about that.
Which is heresy.
