A group of LGBT activists took part in an event with Pope Leo XIV in June upon the invitation of the Archdiocese of Madrid.
On June 7, the women’s portion of CRISMHOM (“Christians of Madrid Homosexuals”) joined an event hosted by Pope Leo called “Weaving Networks with the Worlds of Culture, Art, the Economy and Sport.” It was joined by artists, athletes, business leaders, and academics “to discuss how to continue to foster dialogue between the Church and contemporary society,” according to the heterodox, pro-LGBT New Ways Ministry.
The LGBT group, attending the Mass that Pope Leo XIV offered in the Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid, demanded their inclusion “as first-class Christians” within the Church and that they receive “without distinction” the sacrament of marriage, EFE reported.
Marriage between a same-sex couple is impossible, since it is impossible for them to become “one flesh” and procreate according to God’s design.
CRISMHOM’s members have otherwise shown that they openly reject their call by God, made clear through Scripture and the Church, to live chastely.
“God has created us, he loves us, he loves us and we can be believers and be Lgtbi+ and express our love as a couple, not only in chastity,” Monica Arca, a member of CRISMHOM, told EFE.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) definitively condemns homosexual acts and calls people who suffer homosexual attraction to chastity:
Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’ They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. (CCC 2357)
Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection. (CCC 2359)
A photo of the event published by CRISHOM shows a huge rainbow flag among the attendees.
“Our mission is to make visible and vindicate a reality that … in churches almost does not discriminate because it is not even thought of. It is simply ignored, silenced,” said CRISMHOM in a brief report on the event.

Venerable Anne C. Emmerich had this vision on 13 May 1820: “I saw the fatal consequences of this counterfeit-church; I saw it increase; I saw heretics of all kinds flocking to the city [of Rome.] I saw the ever-increasing tepidity of the clergy, the circle of darkness ever widening. And now the vision became more extended. I saw in all places Catholics oppressed, annoyed, restricted, and deprived of liberty, Churches were closed, and great misery prevailed everywhere with war and bloodshed. I saw rude, ignorant people offering violent resistance, but this state of things lasted not long. Again I saw in vision St. Peter’s undermined according to a plan devised by the secret sect while, at the same time, it was damaged by storms; but it was delivered at the moment of greatest distress. Again I saw the Blessed Virgin extending her mantle over it.”
Wallowing in feces isn't love ...
“Archdiocese of Madrid invited LGBT activists to participate in event with Pope Leo”. Is there homosexuality within the Catholic Church Ebb?
I spell “Sodomy” with a capital-S because it is the name of a religion.
I think homosexuality in the Catholic priesthood goes back centuries. They should be deeply ashamed, but they're not.
Authentic or apocryphal?
It is only a matter of time rod time before one of the “cool popes” bless abortion.
