    [Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Cupich calls for more ‘listening’ and ‘dialogue’ with ‘LGBT Catholics’The Chicago archbishop wrote in Fr. James Martin’s heterodox Outreach publication that the faithful should 'put aside preconceptions' about their LGBT brethren.Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago wrote a column earlier this month for Fr. James Martin’s heterodox Outreach publication urging the faithful to “listen” to “LGBTQ Catholics.”In the article, Cupich called for Catholics to “put aside preconceptions” about their LGBT brethren and instead engage in more “dialogue” and “listening” with them. The cardinal, who is the archbishop of Chicago, has long held pro-LGBT and other stances at odds...
  • Hundreds to Wed as Thai Same-Sex Marriage Law Comes Into Force

    A high-profile gay couple married in Thailand on Thursday (Jan 23) as the kingdom's same-sex marriage law went into effect, an AFP journalist saw, among the first of hundreds expected to do so. Thai actors Apiwat "Porsch" Apiwatsayree, 49 - who was in tears - and Sappanyoo "Arm" Panatkool, 38, in matching beige suits, were handed their pink-bordered marriage certificates at a registry office in Bangkok. "We fought for it for decades and today is a remarkable day that love is love," said Arm. The milestone sees Thailand become by far the biggest place in Asia to recognise equal marriage,...

    President Trump is assembling an administration stocked with prominent gay and lesbian Americans — defying hysterical Democratic rhetoric. “When it comes to whether you’re gay or straight, black or white and all those markers others calculate — President Trump is decision blind. He bases his decision on the kind of job he knows you will do, period,” said Bill White, a top Trump fundraiser tapped to serve as the US ambassador to Belgium. Among the picks: * Scott Bessent, 62, treasury secretary. If confirmed, the hedge fund manager would be the highest-ranking openly gay official in US history. * Ric...

    [Catholic Caucus] With Vatican Approval, Italian Bishops Change Criteria for Gay SeminariansA new directive from the Italian Bishops Conference will allow gay seminary candidates to be assessed in the same way that heterosexual candidates, clearing up two decades worth of confusion caused by ambiguous Vatican statements about gay men and the priesthood. This directive was approved by the Vatican.ANSA Brazil reported that the conference statement said that “an orientation towards celibate life” is what will be required of gay candidates. This is the same requirement which heterosexual candidates must meet. The conference statement continued:“In the formative process, when reference is...

    [Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Cupich: Put aside preconceptions and listen to LGBTQ peopleHis master speaksThe synodal approach to church life that Pope Francis is encouraging has greatly assisted me. It has forced me to rethink how I serve in the church and how I minister to those I serve. Perhaps the most important insight I have gained is that church leaders should be wary about presuming too much about people. We do better when we listen to others before we speak or make judgments about them. Given our years of education and preparation in the seminary and the deference that people...

    It’s amazing how many leftists are ashamed of their bodies but have absolutely zero shame about their minds, their belief systems, or their sexual choices. It’s also amazing how Orwellian Newspeak has conquered the English language. “Gay” used to mean “happy.” Now it means “homosexual.”***Geneticists have yet to find a “gay gene.” Homosexuality (and other peculiarities it spawns) evidently arises not from nature, but from nurture: environmental factors.Drill deeply enough into homosexuals’ memories, and far too often, there’s a history as a child sexual abuse victim. And there’s an entire community — online, at school, in the big city —...

    [Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Radcliffe: Church Can Learn “A Bit of Truth” From LGBTQ+ CatholicsCardinal Timothy Radcliffe, O.P., remarked on what he has learned from his lengthy pastoral career among LGBTQ+ Catholics. In an interview ahead of his creation as cardinal, The Dialog reported that when asked about how to square pastoral concerns with the church’s sexual ethics, Radcliffe replied:“When we meet people who are different from us, with whom we disagree, instead of dismissing them as always wrong, we have to be open to receive the bit of truth that they have from which we can learn.”Radcliffe, who was once...

    [Catholic Caucus] Faggocardinal Cupich Embraces The Spirit Of SatanThis guy really is too much of a scoundrel. It is already bad enough that this little, miserable sissy undermines Catholicism at every step. It is a whole different problem when he suddenly invents new categories and definitions that have no place whatsoever in Church history.Receiving Holy Communion is not a cooperative act. The communicants aren’t playing baseball. They are not carrying a coffin. They receive individually, and they only receive because they have made an individual assessment on whether they are both worthy of receiving, and willing to do so.The idea...

    [Catholic Caucus] What Do We Make of the Rainbow-Colored Signs of Apostasy in Rome?The pro-LGBTQ movement and the anti-Catholic movement are arguably the two driving forces of the Synodal religion. Almost every week, we hear reports of some persecution of Traditional Catholicism along with some promotion of the pro-LGBTQ movement.In a December 10, 2024 article about the Vatican’s inclusion of “an LGBTQ+ pilgrimage event during the upcoming Jubilee Year of 2025,” the pro-LGBTQ New Ways Ministry reflected on how much LGBTQ initiatives had advanced in recent years:“While 2025’s event may seem like a small step, when compared with how the...

    For the first time in history, the White House displayed the AIDS Memorial Quilt on the South Lawn on Sunday, December 1 — marking an extraordinary and emotional World AIDS Day ceremony. The event, led by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, was both a celebration of progress in the fight against HIV and AIDS and a sobering reminder of the epidemic’s human toll. For some in attendance, it was also a moment of grief as the specter of President-elect Donald Trump’s impending administration loomed large, threatening to undo years of progress in LGBTQ+ equality and public health...
