'Transgender’ extraordinary minister says Connecticut bishop agreed to make school gender policy ‘more positive’

HARTFORD, Connecticut - An extraordinary minister of Holy Communion who identifies as “transgender” said that Archbishop Christopher Coyne of Hartford, Connecticut, told him that he supports the so-called “LGBTQ community” and that he agreed to change the archdiocese’s transgender policy for students to be “more positive.”

“Following my visit with Pope Francis, I was able to meet with our new Archbishop Christopher Coyne,” a gender-confused man going by the name “Lynn” Discenza wrote in a November 20 article published by LGBT activist group New Ways Ministry.

St. Patrick-St. Anthony in Hartford, a Franciscan parish, recently held a Mass in anticipation of “Transgender Day of Remembrance” where the altar was sacrilegiously adorned with a “pride flag.” Discenza is both an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion and a sacristan at the parish, as well as co-leader of the parish’s LGBT group.

Coyne of Hartford, who assumed leadership of the archdiocese in May after the resignation of Archbishop Leonard Blair, has previously declared that he would use a “transgender” person’s non-biological name.

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Eighth Commandment “forbids misrepresenting the truth in our relations with others,” such as affirming a person’s confused “identity.” “Every word or attitude is forbidden which by flattery, adulation, or complaisance encourages and confirms another in malicious acts and perverse conduct,” the Catechism teaches.

Coyne also supports “female deacons,” despite the Catholic Church specifically reserving that role for men. Last year, he shared that he hopes “there will be some opportunity down the road [to] ordain or name some deaconesses.”

Transgender something animals don’t do humans no so much.

Gray matter with a fly in it.

I hope these fake Christians are stocked up with plenty of SPF-1,000,000 sunblock. Then have some way to sneak it past Satan’s entry sentinals.
