From last week's "The Wanderer":

One member of the GLFM recorded his experience on an area gay web site of his participation in the Cleveland Gay Pride Parade, informing, "The catholic group had a very nice sized contingent. There were a whole ton of other religious groups as well...Oh, did I mention that I am in the same video as a pornstar?!...Our table was almost across from The Grid's table, so we got to watch Matt Rush shirtless signing autographs and posing for pictures most of the afternoon. I felt so uncouth ogling a pornstar and trying to be a respectable representative of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland...

Thank you for the ping. Pilla is a perv.

The gay/lesbian's believe that the bible condones homosexuality and say that leviticus 18:22 states that two men shall not have sex together in the bed of a woman, not that two men cannot have sex together.

The word, abomination, they translate has two meanings, one means ritually unclean (which they use to show it is ritually unclean for two men to have sex in a woman's bed), and the other is the meaning we are all familiar with (sin, transgression, etc).

It is obvious by searching around that they believe the bible is ok with it - and it is their right to interpret it in such ways. But in the past the vast interprestations have led to new sects, it seems they want to convert all the sects to their way of thinking which is where I disagree with them.

Reader, does all this help you understand what bishops such as Clark and Hubbard and Pilla mean by the "lay-run church.

Diago, I believe I have already provided you with this information but, just in case, here it is again. You MUST CONTACT www.rcf.org! They are actively investigating many bishops in the US, including Pilla. The following is an excerpt from their 1998 newsletter:

The following is quoted from the November 20, 1998 issue of The Gay People's Chronicle, a weekly newspaper in Cleveland.

Bishop to preside at Dignity prayer service
by Doreen Cudnik

Cleveland - The Most Rev. Anthony J. Pilla, bishop of Cleveland, [Pilla was past president of the National Conference of Bishops] will preside at Dignity Cleveland's 25th anniversary prayer service, to be held in the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist downtown.

Dignity invites all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Catholics, their families and friends to join them...

The service is set for Friday, December 4, at 7 pm at the Cathedral, located on the corner of E. 9th and Superior Ave.

The prayer service will be followed by a reception with Bishop Pilla at 8 p.m. in the Rappe Room of the Catholic Center located on the Cathedral campus.

There will be a meeting on November 22, following Dignity Cleveland's monthly celebration of the Eucharist at the 10:30 a.m. Mass at Our Lady of Peace church at E. 125th Street & Shaker Boulevard, to discuss ways to make the December 4 prayer service a successful and spiritually moving event.

What are we to think? RCF has information regarding the homosexual activity of several bishops. We will not make this information public unless all other avenues to correct these situations have been exhausted. These bishops and priests need our help in finding their way back.

RCF "outed" St. Gabriel's Angels network. They will work with you to remedy the situation in Cleveland.

Some sick stuff. But they must have removed the rainbow flag; it isn't on their home page.

I felt so uncouth ogling a pornstar and trying to be a respectable representative of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland...

Unbelievable. This guy should be run out of your church on a rail.

[pray4liberty]

This is disgusting.

Ping.

Please let me know more about the Marianists in Dayton. I have been sending them money for years, and was thinking about leaving a bequest for them in my will. Have they gone homo?
