Fr. Raymond C. Kellerman and Fr. Michael Leshney are the spiritual directors for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati's Catholic Ministry with Gays and Lesbians, part of the Archdiocese's Family Life Office. (Fr. Kellerman is the pastor of Holy Trinity - Norwood (Hamilton County), Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Fr. Leshney is the pastor of SS. Peter and Paul - Reading (Hamilton County), Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Details of these two parishes can be found using the Archdiocese of Cincinnati's Parish Directory.)
Archbishop Pilarczyk might be sending Bishop Moeddel and Fr. Kellerman to do his dirty work this time, but as Michael Rose reports in the St. Catherine Review, he created his own mischief by railroading the document "Always Our Children" through the USCCB.
Although "Always Our Children" is a committee document that has no real authority, every "gay friendly" bishop in this country hides behind it to justify their "Gay Ministries."
BTW, the Resource Director for the NACDLGM is Fr. James Schexnayder of Oakland, California. In the same St. Catherine Review article linked above, Michael Rose says the following about Fr. Schexnayder:
Fr. Shexnayder is president of the National Association of Catholic Diocesan Lesbian and Gay Ministries, director of the Diocese of Oakland’s HIV/AIDS services, and coordinator of the diocese’s Task Force for Outreach to Gay and Lesbian Communities. He owns a private home in Oakland with the former chairman of Dignity San Francisco, a gay-rights group which agitates for Church acceptance of homosexual relationships, sometimes even resorting to sacrilegious pranks. In June, 1994, following the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgendered Parade in San Francisco, Fr. Shexnayder celebrated a Mass for the Catholic participants in the event, giving Communion to all. In his homily that day he stated: "We must not let our homophobic society confine our homosexuality to the bedroom… Our homosexuality must burst forth from the bedroom and leaven all of society."
Evil, pure evil.
There will be a Focus Session at the NACDLGM National Conference 2000 entitled "Using Always Our Children," which will be given by Fr. Raymond C. Kellerman of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.It is rather remarkable that, in the present environment, they could name a focus session that way. Here, we have a gay group hosting a conference by a priest on "using always our children" at the very same time we have a crisis in the Church, largely by gay priests, of priests "using our children" for the most vile purposes.
Someone is clearly tone deaf, but this draws the connection between the problem and its enablers quite clearly.
