THE CLEAR RPONSE OF A PRIT TO FR. JAM MART FOR SUPPORTG 'GAY PRI'

Do God posively will that some people posss and act upon homosexual sir as their natural, rrectly orred sexualy?

I’M EX-GAY. FR. JAM MART’S LGBT AFFIRMATN PERVERTS THE GOSPEL, ENSLAV SOULS S

Father, when you tweeted “Pri Month” greetgs to your “LGBTQ iends, ” urgg them to be “proud” of their “God-given digny” and “gifts” and their “place the world, ” did you mean to suate that homosexualy is a gift om God and th somethg to embrace?

In fact, prohibg homosexual acts (as the Church do) would be immoral, bee would prevent people om beg who God ma them to be and dog what God wants them to do. Then would make sense to advote for the -stigmatizatn of homosexualy and to enurage those wh SSA to fully actualize their attractns as a liftyle. This uld expla your nsistent support for Catholic gay mistri that affirm homosexual activy while ignorg or throwg sha on those that don’t.

It would also provi ntext for your reference to homosexualy as “a lovg act, a form of love… that I have to reverence. If you thk that homosexualy is not a nature given by God, do not have a sexual exprsn that is moral and orred to a person’s happs, then the only other optn is that is unnatural, that s sexual exprsns are immoral, and that, however mixed wh real iendship or real virtu may be any given suatn, ’s ultimately orred away om happs.

“GAY” PRITS? AN OPEN LETTER TO FR. JAM MART

In which se, don’t sayg that gay people are born that way, and sistg on g the gay-affirmative language that people wh SSA “e for themselv, ” have the effect of affirmg people what will make them unhappy?

So when you refer to a man and “his hband” and their child; when you are chronilly silent on the legal movements to refe marriage and fay spe your fluential Catholic profile on the issue; when we do the math and realize that endorsg same-sex marriage is the only logil end pot of endorsg homosexualy as God-given and natural—’s only fair to wonr whether you assent to this teachg. That would jibe wh, for example, your stated wish to a gay man that “ ten years you will be able to kiss your partner… soon to be your hband” church.

Mart, when you claim that you assent to Catholic teachg on homosexualy, what are you specifilly thkg of?

FR. JAM MART’S BIG GAY INTERVIEW

Is the full package: nmnatn of homosexual acts as disorred and trsilly immoral, affirmatn that our sexual faculti are orred toward maral love between a man and a woman, a basic biblil anthropology of sexual difference and plementary, and so on?

This would make sense of your claim that “for a teachg to be really thorative is expected that will be received by the people of God, ” but that Catholic teachg on homosexualy hasn’t been “received” by the “LGBT muny. Or maybe you’re holdg on to a mental rervatn which the “Church teachg” to which you claim assent is actually what you thk Church teachg should be, or what you thk ’s gog to be—once the Church fally sheds all s old homophobic hangups.

Bee when you say that you “will not challenge” Church teachg on homosexualy and even lay out that teachg imprsive tail, most people n figure out that this isn’t the same as sayg you agree wh , that you endorse and promote , and that you aren’t subtly— ways that don’t rise to the level of a “challenge”—workg to change .

FR JAM MART AND THE GAY NATIVY

Mart posted a vio jtifyg Catholics’ celebratg gay pri month June, the same month the Church dit to the Sacred Heart of J. "In that sense, any vatn to celebrate pri day, march or pri month is led out for Catholics bee all of them are part of the effort to remove the state of s om the practice of homosexual tennci or other siar or related tennci. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teach that homosexuals “mt be accepted wh rpect, passn and sensivy.

FR. MART PRAIS EXMUNITED GAY PRIT

Tradn has always clared that “homosexual acts are trsilly disorred” and “do not proceed om a genue affective and sexual plementary.

“Homosexual persons are lled to chasty” and through “the support of disterted iendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they n and should gradually and rolutely approach Christian perfectn.
